tyrannosaurus Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 BSODs caused by Link 2.2.0 in connection with IRST and WINDOWS 7 64. Posted this under PSU already, but I think it should be here as well. The only reason I need Link is to start the fan for my AX1200i, because this PSU is running pretty warm before the fan is willing to start. My IRST driver: Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise Driver Software V3.5.0.1092 for Windows Vista/7 32bit & 64bit.(WHQL) Within 5 minutes after installing Link 2.2.0 system crashed. Before my system worked bugfree. Probably a conflict between Link driver and Intel Rapid Storage Driver: Microsoft ® Windows Debugger Version 6.12.0002.633 AMD64 Copyright © Microsoft Corporation.

tyrannosaurus Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thank you, Jan54. I knew, there was somewhere a thread about IRST and Link, but coudn't refind it. Still I think, Corsair should offer a solution to that problem, which is really annoying. AX1200i eventually is an expensive toy. So: what version of IRST and Link do you use sucessfully?

tyrannosaurus Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 IRST 3.0.2003, dated 2011.12.02, is the first driver for my MB that Asus released. IRST Enterprise, Version 3.5.0.1092 & 3.5.0.109, dated 2012.10.22 are the most recent from Asus MB support. This is really ridiculous, that we have to use outdated driver to support oldfashioned Corsair driver. After uninstalling Link 2.2.0 9 hours ago, I had not a single BSOD. Don't know, how I will decide right now. Maybe I'll kick Link Driver and leave my AX1200i unsupported. I've little hope that Corsair will fix this.

tyrannosaurus Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showpost.php?p=619420&postcount=15 for a stable iRST with CorsairLink 2.2.0 Thanks a lot, as well. I wonder, how long it's a 'known problem' already. And how long is this issue known by Corsair? So if driver combo is working, I'll give it a shot.

MykaAurora Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Don't sweat your self, if you're not using any raid combo in your system, you won't be needing much iRSTe, thus, any driver version will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 UPDATE: Confirmed: IRST 3.0.2003 and Link 2.2.0 work together. So this may be conceived as an interim solution. On the other hand: How about Corsair would inform trillions of IntelRapidStorageDriver-User which version is compatible with their exotic driver? After all I've spent days tracking down the cause of this troublemaker and reinstalling my whole system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t53186 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 RSTe 3.5.0.1092 works with 2.2.0/commander 2.0.6 while using raid on an intel x79 MB. If anyone needs to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoogerd Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I spent numerous days looking for the cause of the BSOD's on my Win8 64 pro system, not suspecting Link 2.2 as lack of Win8 support was nowhere stated. As it seems the issue also occurs with win7. As soon as I installed Intel RSTe 3.5.1096, it crashed almost every hour sharp. uninstalled corsair link and the BSODs are gone. @t53186: I also have the X79 setup, but an Asus Sabertooth board. Are you running Win8 pro 64? It might be worth the trouble for me downgrading to 1092, although I don't want to risk my Raid5 array with Terabytes of data.... btw really awkward that such expensive tools, as it did come with my AX750i and linked to the H100i, is not supported on Win8. Manufacturers receive Win8 pre-releases way up front and it is not exactly new anymore.... couple of months old. Not giving it a priority is of course another story..... way to go Corsair:evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t53186 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Sorry to say running WIN7 x64 pro. I have a SSD boot drive/applications and 4 500GB drives in raid10. Not arguing with your assertion about pre-consumer release of win8 to vendors. However I hesitate to pass judgement on Corsair's ability to get it right for win 8 when released for a couple of reasons. Not that I am letting them off the hook mind you. 1. R&D, or whatever has been pretty busy trying to get it right for the OS that is advertised as supported along with the new products they have released. Don't know what relationship Corsair has with Microsoft. 2. In my 30+ years of computer experience, early adopters of new operating systems are going out on a limb hoping everything will work. Again, not making excuses. In my occupation dealing with PC, server, and mainframe hardware we never implement new changes as fast as they are available. Keeping in mind what we support is mission critical stuff. 3. I love to tinker on my own hardware which is critical for my hobbies, games, everyday use, and personal business as a graphic designer. I take a lot of chances, more than I should with the knowledge and experience I have, but I still don't venture in to the land of unknown when it comes to new operating systems, especially Microsoft Windows which is driven more by marketing hype and desire to make a profit than it is by the end user. I apologize for my ranting and hope no one thinks I am saying it is our fault that the link does not work as we expect it. Just offering an alternative point of view/opinion.

hoogerd Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I hear you, coming from a mainframe business too, I agree. But Corsair aiming for consumer business and not explicitly stating required OS's at their product pages, should do better. I thought for once taking the leap, having looked at various support for my components, so this is disappointing. Let's say that I hope Corsair will get their stuff together soon and work hard at support for Win 8. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy, if you could pass my attached minidump file (see post #1) to your software guy and post some results. I mean besides this Link-bug Ax1200i is working fine.

Rassal Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thx RamGuy, good news... Now, to anyone that want to use TRIM in a raid array on let's say x79 chipset, as most major manufacturers now are providing new bios upgrade with TRIM support, mostly, like me using a Rampage IV Extreme, i was pissed that i had to do a choice of BSOD or backtrack drivers to RSTe 3.0... Well, instead, i used a modified bios that uses 11.6 based OROM instead of RST 3.5 OROM, and use Intel 11.7 Drivers instead of RSTe 3.5... and i get no BSOD, until corsair fixes their problems with the software... and mostly, Windows 8 x64 problems... I am using 2 computers, one Rampage III Extreme on x58 chipset and a modded 11.6 OROM, and also a Rampage IV Extreme on x79 chipset with also a modded 11.6 OROM and both of them are running 11.7 Intel Raid drivers and i get no BSOD with the Corsair 2.2.0 software.

turboman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 win8 has only been released for a couple months now and corsair couldnt begin working on software until it was released That's funny. I bought an Asus P8Z77-V motherboard 2 months ago, and they did not say they could only begin working on the software until Win8 was released. They said it was Win8 ready and there was a Win8 installation DVD included, and it works. I suppose a motherboard is more complicated than a stupid pump (I have a H80i cooler). I reported a BSOD crash Link related a while ago, but there was no reply. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=113585 When a company has quality related issues like with Link, then you start wondering about the quality side of the other products too.

turboman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 you're comparing apples to oranges a m/b is a core part to a build so correlation is productive on all sides you wouldnt start selling a car motor and THEN make arrangements for a chassis to put it in,would you? You and I had this conversation before. In the old days, we would meet on a dusty main street at high noon and shoot it out. My point is, if Link is not fully optimal under Win8, that is fine. But if it causes crashes, then it becomes like a core component. And if it is known that it is not compatible with Win8, then Corsair should state that on the product site of the products that use Link. And there are plenty of other non core products that are Win8 ready. Cant see why Corsair couldn't get it done in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You and I had this conversation before. . uh huh,and like last time i was responding to someones question when you popped in with your disgruntled expertise once again comparing apples to oranges. when a new os is being developed,they work in conjunction with core parts,a aftermarket cooler is NOT a core part so manufacturers of these parts do their coding AFTER the OS release you know theres 3 types of people that visit this board 1. those who come seeking help 2. those who spend their time here trying to help 3. those that come here to undermine,antagonize with the purpose of being argumentative how do you view yourself? try to be more supportive of others and youll more apt to be respected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are more types: 4. those that make a valid argument 5. those that defend undefendable Corsair problems. I see myself in category 1, 2 and 4: 1. I reported a problem in a neutral way in an earlier post on BSOD but did not get a reply. 2. In that earlier post, reference was made to why Link could cause a problem. That could help Corsair development. 4. My argument is that software that causes BSOD is core to the use of a PC. And if the software is known to be non-compatible with an operating system, then it should be mentioned on the product site of that product. You Sir, on the other hand, you look like in category 5, and on top of that, get personal when you don't like people's argument. With that comment, I have become category 5 myself.
