Question: If I want to build a mining system with H110 Pro BTC+, how much power do I need for my system?(9/1/2017)

Answer:
It depends on the complete system configuration. We recommend calculating it in 2 parts:
(1) Motherboard + CPU + memory + SSD:
For a system with an Intel® Pentium® CPU with 2 DIMMs memory, we suggest to reserve 250W for this part.
(2) Graphics cards:
We suggest visiting the official website of the graphics card vendor to check the graphics card TDP. Please refer to the following example.

Nvidia GTX1060: it requires 120W power for each card.

Link: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1060/

AMD RX470: it requires 120W power for each card.
Link: http://www.amd.com/en-gb/products/graphics/radeon-rx-series/radeon-rx-470

If the system uses eight RX470 and five GTX1060, the total sum including other components is 1810W. Accounting for power conversion efficiency, the recommended power supply for this example is at least 2400W.

H110 Pro BTC+ with CPU + memory + SSD	RX470 x Qty	GTX1060 x Qty	Total
250W	120W x 8	120W x 5	1810W

Question: I installed Windows XP x64 Edition on a system which is built by an Intel EM64T CPU and 4 GB memory on 775i915P-SATA2 / 775i65PE / 775V88+ / 775V88. Windows reports system memory about 3.0 - 3.5 GB. Why?(12/19/2005)

Answer:
Although the CPU and Operating system supports 64 bit addressing, Intel 915P, 865PE and VIA PT880 chipsets does not support remapping function. The missing memory addresses are reserved for PCI I/O space, AGP aperture mapping space, and other onboard device I/O space. Although the chipset datasheet may claim memory support up to 4 GB, the system actually only reports about 3.0 - 3.5 GB with four 1 GB DDR memory modules.

Question: My hard drives are Maxtor Diamond MAX 10 and MaxLine III SATA 250 GB and 300 GB with 16 MB cache buffer. My hard drives can not be detected correctly during the POST, what can I do?(1/18/2005)

Answer:
Please update to the newest BIOS of motherboard. If you still encounter problem, please contact Maxtor and update to the newest firmware of hard drives.

Question: Why is my 4GB of memory reported as about 3.5GB by the system if the chipset of the motherboard support to 4GB Memory size?(6/11/2004)

Answer:
Under the current PC memory addressing, there is a memory area just below 4.0 GB which is reserved permanently. The maximum DDR memory support is actually about 3.5GB rather than 4GB. This limitation is caused by the current PC architecture in which the missing 0.5GB of memory addresses are reserved for PCI I/O space, AGP aperture mapping space, and other onboard device I/O space. Thus although the chipset datasheet may claim memory support for up to 4GB, the system actually only offers about 3.5GB with four 1GB DDR DIMMs installed. 32 bit processors only support 4GB of address space.

Question: My hard drive is 160 GB, when I install Windows 2000 or Windows XP, I can only see 137 GB. However, when I install this 160 GB hard drive on the ATA 133 RAID card, I can use whole 160 GB. What's wrong?(5/15/2004)

Answer:
If you would like to use whole 160 GB as only one partition while installing the Windows OS, please make sure that your OS is Windows 2000 service pack 4 included or Windows XP service pack 1 included.
When you install the hard drive on the RAID card, you would need to press F6 to install third party driver during the Windows installation, and the driver is the reason why you can use whole 160 GB even your Windows XP service pack 1 is not included.

Question: I bought a new large size (80GB) HDD. After I installed it to my ASRock M/B, the BIOS only recognized it as a 32GB HDD. How can I get the full capacity of the HDD?(4/15/2004)

Answer:
Please understand that most HDDs provide a jumper setting that will limit the maximum capacity, such as 32GB or 2GB. Please kindly double check the jumper setting of your HDD, and adjust the jumper setting to the correct position instead of the "Limit drive capacity" position.

Question: If I use 1 GB or more memory on the M/B, Windows 98/ME O.S. shows "Error Message: Insufficient Memory to Initialize Windows". What's wrong?(10/29/2002)

Answer:
It's a limitation of Win9x/ME. Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP has no problem, please check detailed information from Microsoft Web Site.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q184447

Question: I have a drive that is larger than 137 GB but the operating system only recognizes 128 GB or 137 GB. How can I fix this?(10/29/2002)

Answer:
First, The OS (for example Windows series) should be able to support 48-bit LBA mode that enables the system to run and manipulate big drive, namely, only Windows 2000 and Windows XP could achieve this goal.

Secondary, install Service Pack to let OS support large than 137GB HDD.

Windows XP, please download and installed the latest Service Pack 1, this can support big drive directly. For further information, please refer to Microsoft's Product Support Site:
