there's another option to change ide to ahci. just change the setting first to ahci and then boot to safemode, after booting to safemode, the ahci drivers will automatically install then restart, now you can boot on ahci mode without bsod. tested on windows 7,8/8.1 and 10
Made change, got BSOD, remembered your instructions, implemented & it worked! Had I not seen your comment, I would have reversed my changes & cursed AHCI not knowing. Thank you Ray for your comment!
Bryan T_ because it was good content? i still like their content but if a video is bad or neutral but has like begging or other shit in the begining of it, it gets a dislike except it actually has good content that isnt cashgrab or in some cases 10:01 ish lenghed.... (waiting for all the "oh i know you" / "you just hate change" comments.... because every cretic of change is instantly a bad thing -.-)
Hey Linus, I just want to say that your public speaking skills have dramatically improved over time. You are so entertaining and you always have the facts. Thanks for your service to the tech community.
Their quality is kind of terrible if you take into account that they have a team of editors, red cameras and an oversized server with a rack of SSDs so they can access the files they are working on faster.
Wow, this is the first Techquickie video that actually helped me in my IT job! A. I had no idea AHCI was really faster. B. Whenever imaging classroom PCs I was usually forced to use whatever mode Windows (7 mostly) was installed with. Now I found a registry tweak! Thanks!
@@lemau8458 Actually I did (customer was a middle/high school) - 4 years ago when this was posted. I knew more about networking and servers deployments than hardware.
Play it at 1.5t (times) in the speed settings. Essentially *if have SSD, Windows Vista or later and your BIOS supports it, enable AHCI for speed gain* . If there is a boot problem, switch back to IDE and google the problem. The solution is easy *Linus* the show is called Techquickie so *make it quickie*
You don't need to modify the registry if you switch from IDE to AHCI mode. If the OS allows you to get to a command prompt after a boot failure, you can run a disk checking utility (chkdsk on Windows for example)
This is one of the few computer fix videos that i've needed that has actually worked perfectly. Thanks Linus! Oh, i had to switch to SATA 6.0 because i was plugged into a 3.0 and didn't realize it.
Why people are able to see a wrong frame or complains about intros instead of just notice how useful that kind of video is? btw, good job Linus, always easy to understand, even from Italy, like me :)
Good job getting back to basics with this channel! I always recommend this channel to people who want to understand computers, so this is perfect. The intro would probably be better at the end, but other than that, Great work!
I get it. You want to boost the channels sub count. Of course, the content is great, but this should be am OUTTRO. It's invasive as an intro and doesn't fit the theme of techquickie.
Linus, since Windows 8 you don't need to change any key on registry in order to OS recognize AHCI. Just make sure BEFORE doing, create a local account and set up windows to do next start in safe mode, change the setting on bios and wait for the system to boot up on safe mode, change to initialize again normally and done.
Life is DEWG I see your point. I'll admit that I'm so used to Linus channeling his inner marketeer that I didn't even notice it until I read all these comments about it. Usually I'm too lazy to start skipping parts of the videos and don't mind a short and to the point sponsor message. Rather have it overt but separate from the main topic -- now that I think about it, the non-sequitur segues between segments regularly crack me up. I can see why others who tend to watch up until the sponsor outro then skip ahead would not enjoy that if it turned out to be a break with what has been an established viewing pattern they enjoyed.
The new intro-thing was jarring at first, but it's not that long, and it's not super obnoxious. It's fine. Also, I did not know about that NCQ thing, that's cool. It's amazing how many ways they find to make all this tech more efficient.
Daldaren you're missing the point. It should be at the end of the video. One thing I like about Techquickie is how they get straight to the point. Now the intro ruins that.
Pooky Cze i kinda just wanna dislike the video just because of it its such a minor thing tho lets hope they put it where it belongs at the end of the video
I've already explained it, it does NOT belong at the end of the video. Most people click away before the video ends, just as the sponsor spot starts. Therefore it would be useless as an outro because only about >20% of the viewers would actually see it. They put it at the front they have the chance to grab the newcomers. The only middle man option would be to change it into a mid-roll asset that appears in ie. the top right-hand corner, and instead of the voiceover, we'd have short text lines.
1: If you don't like it, kindly fuck off. The pathetic thing is not the intro itself, but you bitching about a 10-second channel roll that can be skipped by pressing the right arrow twice (exactly 10 seconds forward). 2: Not viewers new to TH-cam, but the Techquickie channel. Obviously, the subbed people wouldn't need to do it, but "outsiders" need this kind of encouragement, because as the statistics show, people like the video and fuck off, because its a one-off kind of scenario. They search up a problem, they get their answer and go away. Its the tech-savvy people that sub to this channel, they just want to get a little bit more knowledge about it. The whole idea behind putting the segment before the main part instead of after was explained before. If you still don't understand why, I can't really help the brainless.
Most modern motherboards are already set to use AHCI by default. I know all the ASUS and Asrock modern boards I bought are already set to use AHCI. However, that doesn't mean all of those boards have AHCI enabled by default, I think it all depends on the manufacture and the BIOS version that comes installed on your board.
Call me a moron, but I noticed sometime ago that my bios were set to boot my SSD in IDE mode instead of AHCI mode and, just as Linus shows in this video, I was welcomed to a blue screen when I attempted to load Windows 7 up in AHCI mode. All of this time, I've been content with running my SSD in IDE mode because I couldn't be bothered to reinstall Windows 7 under AHCI mode, which I had assumed was the only way to get this working. Thank you for this video. I followed the registry hack, set my bios to AHCI mode and here I am with Windows 7 working in AHCI mode. I'm anxious to see for myself if I have any bump in performance. :D
I'm getting sick of everyone complaining about the intro. As if this is the only channel that asks to subscribe & enable notifications, yet here is the only place you complain. Weirdos!
wtf has been wrong with ur videos for the last 2 weeks. they all seem to have some type of glitch or bad audio. Idk if u hired someone new, but if you did please tell him to double check over videos. simple glitches like at 3:37 used to never happen
You guys always seem to upload a video the day I'm having a problem. I was just dealing with IDE/RAID/AHCI installing Windows 10 on a Dell Vostros 200!
Guys, it's so f...ing awesome to watch your videos! They are not only very interesting but also very funny, ... which I like a lot!!! I love you work guys! My favorite phrase: "But wait a minute" :))))
Sam TH-cam takes time to verify views to see if they are legit.... Don't get fucking wound up because people find it funny there's more likes than views...
Calm down guys it's a 5 second intro. It's not the end of the world and remember the channel isn't made for you it's Made for everyone. Could be the first video for some people. It's 5 seconds quick and to the point give it a rest
I had the opposite experience. I took a Windows 10 Pro system and installed XP on it. I kept getting the bluescreen until I changed the BIOS from ATA to AHCI. Good video.
When I enable AHCI mode, I can't view HDD SMART data in speed fan or other SW. That is important to me to periodically check the health of my HDDs. Also I don't need to mess about with drivers. IDE mode just works and is more compatible.
Where was this video two years ago when I ran into these exact issues when installing Windows from a flash drive onto a new SSD. It was a full year after that until I figured out the benefits of (and how to switch my install to) AHCI and GUID partition formats through hours of troubleshooting
AHCI is supported out of the box on Windows Vista and later, Linux-based operating systems (since version 2.6.19 of the kernel), OpenBSD (since version 4.1), NetBSD (since version 4.0), FreeBSD (since version 8.0), macOS, eComStation (since version 2.1), and Solaris 10 (since version 8/07).[4] DragonFlyBSD based its AHCI implementation on OpenBSD's and added extended features such as port multiplier support. Older versions of operating systems require hardware-specific drivers in order to support AHCI. Windows XP and older do not provide support out of the box.
Hi, i have an Old HP Compaq DC7800 Desktop, In Bios, only IDE and RAID is available, i can't install Windows 8.. How will i get AHCI to install Windows?
So I've got 3 SSDs in my build that I have games and programs on. I've had my computer for about two years. So would you guys recommend checking BIOS to see what option they're on? Or should I just leave them alone? My OS win10 is on a separate M.2 drive.
Experienced the same boot error (BSOD) when I changed the SATA mode from IDE to AHCI, so I reinstalled Windows. IDE is intended only for compatibility with Windows XP or older operating systems, as they do not have included AHCI drivers, and AHCI support is only introduced in Windows Vista.
Mark Arca reinstall can be avoided by setting up safeboot in msconfig so it boots into safemode after changing to ahci in bios. After boots turn off safeboot and restart then ur done.
I don't understand he has to spell out what PATA and SATA refers to but he makes quick reference to versions of chips sets and video cards as if everyone gets it. And thanks for this great video breaking it down too.
there's another option to change ide to ahci.
just change the setting first to ahci and then boot to safemode,
after booting to safemode, the ahci drivers will automatically install then restart,
now you can boot on ahci mode without bsod.
tested on windows 7,8/8.1 and 10
It worked, that was a quick life saver tip. Thank you.
I swapped it in bios before changing in regedit. Now my PC don't see system. What to do? =((
Well done, good Sir! :)
Made change, got BSOD, remembered your instructions, implemented & it worked! Had I not seen your comment, I would have reversed my changes & cursed AHCI not knowing. Thank you Ray for your comment!

The new intro needs to be gotten rid of entirely.
3:37 edit mistake
... or a subliminal message to need more Linus?
78wesley hurt my eyes to see it. Had to rewind and pause took forever and was not disappointed. Saw sexy linus lol

Yes even worse then the previous video. Still liked it though.
Tulio Troche Whatever floats your boat dude.
You got mixed up with the intro and outro
Agree
Hardrive33 It’s always like that; trash.
Hey Linus, I just want to say that your public speaking skills have dramatically improved over time. You are so entertaining and you always have the facts. Thanks for your service to the tech community.
That editing error at 3:37
Errors. There are two "frame leaks".
Indeed
subliminal messages, Linus=illuminat
it strange, there was a similar error in the previous video, at roughly the same time... half life the confirmed??
*X-Files Theme*
is it just me or is the font at 0:09 slightly messed up
EDIT: small render issue at 3:38
yes it is
It says "a smart choice in NVMe SSD's" with a photo of the Samsung 960 Evo.
Their quality is kind of terrible if you take into account that they have a team of editors, red cameras and an oversized server with a rack of SSDs so they can access the files they are working on faster.
Telling the viewer to subscribe before the video is even played is like telling reviewers to give 5 stars before letting them play the game.

A. I had no idea AHCI was really faster.
B. Whenever imaging classroom PCs I was usually forced to use whatever mode Windows (7 mostly) was installed with. Now I found a registry tweak!
Thanks!
Lmao, you have an IT job and don't know what AHCI is? Where do you work, a middle school?

That is why I am a subscriber. The pull back shot of the lady trying to change the channel. I am dying. Laughingly. Thanks Linus
Fudge that Intro
A centre of gravity
Guys let's just be thankful the intro is 5 seconds and not 2 and a half minutes long with loud dubstep and links to all their social media pages.
Linus, since Windows 8 you don't need to change any key on registry in order to OS recognize AHCI.
Just make sure BEFORE doing, create a local account and set up windows to do next start in safe mode, change the setting on bios and wait for the system to boot up on safe mode, change to initialize again normally and done.

I wonder how many takes it took to shoot that part where he ate those 0's and 1's, i'd imagine there was a lot of laughing
Let me say 2 unpopular things:
That intro IS AN INTRO
I LOVE that intro
hahaha I laughed out loud when you ate those bits at 1:39 thank you
dude i love the fact that whenever i need some highlevel knowledge on an osdev topic, mboy linus always pulls up w/ that usb stick pls reply
Stop telling me to subscribe pls. Kthx.
i am telling you to subscribe
u have to SKUBSKRIBE
*subscribed years ago*
linus is such a goofball. gotta love him
Please please please please please make that intro an outro, please
How hard might it be to land a job at Linus Media Group?

Very hard. They dont need anyone atm

That Blue screen scared the hack out of me for second ... !!!!
stop it. get some help.
(i'm talking about the intro)
Many thanks for the link to switch between ide and AHCI. Saved me a lot of time.
I think the intro would be much better suited at the end of the video.
That AHCI animation where he ate the bits was on point!
That intro is actually slick. Well done.

Did you get the problem? It's not very quick when zou add a intro
Apart from the bell icon not being straight
Should be an outro

AHCI is supported out of the box on Windows Vista and later, Linux-based operating systems (since version 2.6.19 of the kernel), OpenBSD (since version 4.1), NetBSD (since version 4.0), FreeBSD (since version 8.0), macOS, eComStation (since version 2.1), and Solaris 10 (since version 8/07).[4] DragonFlyBSD based its AHCI implementation on OpenBSD's and added extended features such as port multiplier support. Older versions of operating systems require hardware-specific drivers in order to support AHCI. Windows XP and older do not provide support out of the box.

what's up with the flicker? 3:37 missed some frames that should have been deleted?
Can you make a video on:
What's the difference between 2.5 and 3.5 inch HD ? Can you use 2.5 instead of 3.5 inch with no compromises ?
2:32 our hyper Multimedia PC back in 2006 already had native AHCI and SATA :) #best Windows 5 PC.
