Any1 using both of these or perhaps have knowledge on these products?
I am having some problems with my PC (freezes randomly during DOTA2) & i think it may be due to the combination of these 2 products (where the BIOS stated my SSD as IDE rather than AHCI/RAID & it will only run at SATA2 3.0Gbs rather than the supposed SATA3 6.0Gbs)..

You mean BSODs?
Check OCZ website, they got a firmware update for all sandforce 2281 driven SSDs (I believe Agility3 uses Sandforce 2281), they used to have frequent BSODs.
Oh and btw, you need to have the SSD in AHCI mode not IDE mode for the firmware update.

No BSOD, it just freezes with the sound repeating nonstop..

I tried changing to AHCI mode, but still it shows as [IDE: OCZ Agility3 ...] in the Boot menu..

It is also run as SATA2 rather than SATA3..

Go to a shop and ask them to look at it and give you an estimate of what they think it takes to fix it. It should be free.

tis brand isnt available in Malaysia..
btw it's called a Quotation afaik..

You sure you have plugged it in a SATAIII slot?
You may want to check if your motherboard BIOS has a firmware update aswell.
Might fix the AHCI, IDE problem.

1. to use AHCI mode u need to install the OS with AHCI mode turned ON.
its possible to activate AHCI afterwards aswell, but it needs some workaround (google helps)
2. get newest ssd firmware
3. make sure u really use the sata3 slot + sata3 compatible cabel.

Any shop that fixes computers.

funny thing is when i plug it to either SATA2 slot, everything is fine..
But when i plug it into the SATA3, it shows up as IDE only..
i think the problem is either the SATA3 cable or port..
