have you tried playing with those standby settings maybe
i don't use this board 24/7 and i don't use sleep mode any more
it's either on or off for me hehe

+1 to that...sleep mode used to always give me problems, problems went away when I quit using it. Hibernation always seemed to work consistently.Quote:

I think sleep mode has always been borked in Vista 64, anyway here is an update, passed prime blend for a bit and memtest, seems stable

I am about to buy a 790I Board is the EVGA a better options then the S2e ? Also is there a NB Block that works with the 790I if I go with eVGA?
A lot of guys have used ViperJohn's waterblocks. Check Evga 790i forums for testimonials on his waterblocks.Quote:

Thanks!
EK has nice WC-blocks thats fits SPP and MCP on refereceboards and TR has mosfetcoolers on the way aka HR9 type4. Belive my S-Max for Maximus fits on the SIIE.Quote:

Donīt think so and you donīt have 2 chips to cool either with the NB-block, EK-NB/SB 5 is what is listed on EK-site to fit referece EVGA/XFX 790i,Quote:

I am not sure what to get EVGA 790 or S2E
what do you recommend?
Since you are talking about watercooling the NB, Mosfets, SB...I would suggest the SIIE because I am not using the fusion block and I get 43C on the SB at 1.55V and 44C on the NB at 1.45V. Economically, Watercooling the motherboard is not needed with the temps that I am getting. I own the SIIE and Love it. I cannot give a fair recommendation for the Reference boards because I do not have any experience with them.Quote:

I canīt recommend anything as i just ordered a EVGA 790i but not recieved it yet as the shop will have it in the end of april and the memory i choosen around friday as the 2x2 non EB i want is order-only items and the 2x2 EB:s are stock items and 90 more.Quote:

SIIE has also EPU and what i notised on my Maxiumus and read om asus forum the same thing is still present on SIIE as i think GAR was the first one to se or put attention on when you canīt load CPU 100% and that prevents the OC.
LLC that keeps v-core stable is a plus for SIIE but not a major point for me.
The price i got was the thing that turned me over to press buy-button on EVGA along with the BIOS support.
I donīt know if it was the right one but it feels like not having EPU is more worth than LLC and extern lcd-poster with R.O.G label on it.
I just Ordered the Striker2 Extreme with 4gig of OCZ 1600EB RAM
hope I didnt just make a mistake
Good boy =) I suggest replacing the factory TIM from the SPP, MCP and voltage regulator heatsinks and replace it with aftermarket paste such as Ceramique or MX-2.Quote:

I had this happen to me when I first got into water cooling with my 2 7800GTX got water log by moving stuff around and the barbs came loose and then I kissed goodbye about $1K of GPU's :explode2: So I will be back soon with it installed...Quote:

OK ive about had it, i get random crashing while playing games, im about to go to frys and pick up a DX48BT for $250 and sell this POS. Even when this damn system passes OCCT, PRIME Blend/small, and memtest, WHAT THE F***!!!! a premium POS this board is.....nVidia chipsets never again.

Since when has PRIME/OCCT/Orthos been the sole measure of a systems stability... I know it's how most people test but not me, I have to engineer 24/7 commercially warrantiable OCs and I ALWAYS do testing with Video decoding and other things to stress FSB under smaller loads aswell.
I just tried setting the GTL to +25 and FSB from 1.3-1.45 all failed with no success, im about to give up, even tho i dont want to, im really dissapointed at this.
Can you give me your settings for 450fsb......lemme give it another shot before i go to frys tommorow.......if i cant get this thing stable, im going to frys tommorow and this thing is going on ebay for 250 bucks free shipping.Quote:

I saw some others had success w/45nm using +15mv for their GTLs so I would start there. +15 - +25mv for all your lanes w/ VTT set as low as it'll go for you, 1.1V i think right?.. if it hangs goto 1.15VTT and 1.20VTT.
You can test stability with any 1080P H264 content you may have or HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Rips.
Just relax though m8, the problem is fixable with just abit of tweaking and patience.
Bump on the question aboveQuote:

Now I throw in my QX9650 and I am getting freaking memory dumps like crazy. I can not even stay stable at any settings? I am back stock for now.. Just wondering why is this happening to a 1K CPU and not my $200.00 CPU? I have a idea for ASUS why don't they PAY US to work out all of there kinks on the S2E and give us our boards for FREE. Note to self never ever buy a new mobo with a new chipset, if so plan on being the ginnie pig with many headaches..
it doesn't help the 790i chipset plagued by untuned GTLREFs that the C0 stepping 45nm quads have a GTL related errata which hampers OC'ability in the first place.
I feel your paind, im going to stick with this board for one more bios release, if nothing stable is produced im going to swicth to intel, no other choice, everytime we get a new nvidia chipset, a million problems come out, and not small ones, HUGE ones.Quote:

In your case it also can be a memory hole - I am getting such things at 400 MHz and 450MHz exact numbers somehow ...
hi,
i search a pencil mod for evga 790i,
the vdrop is 0.7 0.9 v
HELP
Hi there,
I have drastically improved stability of my s2e. I installed Vista 64bit SP1 a week ago, and no corruption so far (I test every day).
I use the following bios settings:
fsb qdr ddr at 1800 linked & synched
CPU multi x8 (3.6 GHz)
RAM timings 8-7-6-20 2T P1/P2: enabled
Voltages:
Vcore 1.325V in bios
LLC enabled
PLL auto
VTT 1.44V
VDimm 2.0V
NB 1.66V
SB 1.6V
the rest is on auto.
Prime95 & memtest86+ are stable for 10+ hours.
I had very frequent lockups in vista while playing games or just idling on the desktop after 1-2 hours of up time.
I changed my RAM from 1T to 2T, and it really helped a whole lot.
Now I still get lockups, but it's very rare and hard to reproduce... Usually I get it when there is a joint stressed activity of HDD, CPU & RAM.
It can happen sometimes when loading a level in a game, for instance crysis or company of heroes, in the middle of the progress bar when all textures and stuff are loaded.
Do you guys have any clue what I could test?
I have the feeling the freeze can only occur if there is a lot of disk activity. It does not happen during video playback or within a game like it is the case for others.
What would you suggest:
- increase SB voltage: 1.65 or 1.7
- increase frequency for PCI-e and MCP<->SPP
- loosen the ram timing further
- play with VTT volts and GTL REF
Please help !
GAR, are you having those issues at stock speed? or oced?
I think GAR is having those issues when OC @ 450mhz FSB, and I also think he should keep his settings at stock for the time being.
Wow, is almost end of april and I gotta decide what board Im gonna end up getting... I dont want to deal with corruptions, BSoDs and lock ups.
450FSB, but this to me is more related to the memory controller on the NB, its got some weird holes........also high fsb around 463, with mem at 925 corrupted my steam, i had to reinstall everything.....the corruption is still there and i dont feel safe doing anything on this board knowing that it may give out at anytime.......one day my settings were good, and next day they were bad so im confused with this board at this time.Quote:

I'm still testing 0601 but I'm not sure if it's as good as 0507.
I will keep it updated for sure...
I hope by the time I have my money ready, all this problems are solved.
BTW, I have the same question as QuadSLI, are the black slots the only ones that can run higher than 1600mhz FSB???
Because I just got 2Gbs RAM kit and I would like to go to 4 gigs one day...
The Black Slots do 1801 and up.Quote:

I think the issues of the x-fi w/4 gig were long ago resolved...
NVIDIA was made aware of a possible corruption issue reported by Anandtech. NVIDIA has been in contact with Anandtech and is aggressively pursuing any possible causes including extreme FSB overclocking along with certain types of high speed memory. According to all data collected thus far this appears to be a highly isolated issue. This article will be updated as needed if any issues are isolated.
http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/n...p?p_faqid=2166
You're going to have trouble on any board when you overclock 4 sticks of ram to 2000 mhz. I know the striker 2 extreme's slots are all 4 high bandwidth (meaning all 4 can do ddr3 2000). Whether you wanna call their bluff or not is up to you. It seems nvidia's product specifications are statements that are meant to be challenged to see if they're bluffing.Quote:

I know thats a challenge, but I just want to know what can I expect if I buy 2 more sticks (4 in total).Quote:
Originally Posted by Broly

No, it will require just the SPD/EPP values. It's the stress on the controller and if it can handle that speed for all 4 sticks. With a striker I bet it'll be okay because this thing is tough (It's 100 more for a reason, not just a "rebadge") as nails. You shouldn't even bother with 2000 mhz stuff anyways man because it's just massively overclocked 1333 with compromised Latencies.
I know, Im not buying 2000Mhz memories, is just that I might want to try to OC them to those speeds just to test them :P
You'll be able to hit them, very likely. Just don't expect prime stability lol.
Oh well -.-"
Hey man, you push hardware THAT hard sometimes you ask for it. Personally I think the striker extreme is a tough mother:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::ban ana:, and it probably will work because DDR3 uses low volts.
Well yeah my goal is to have my 1600Mhz RAM to run at 1800 since I will have my FSB at 450Mhz (hopefully), but might want to try how it feels to run it at 2000mhz :D
OK Guys(and gals), I am getting somewhere here. I found out that my Qx9650 can do 4GHZ @ 1.344V(1.375 BIOS with LLC) vcore. The stability problems that I was having(With the system lockup) seems to be RAM related. I am currently running RAM @ 1780 1:2 @2.04V. Passed prime for about an hour now.
http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/7...rimeol6.th.jpg
I also tried 410x10, but it required 1.408V(1.425V BIOS with LLC) vcore.
http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/4...5041vd4.th.jpg
@GAR, try 2.04V for your RAM. It could be your RAM or it could be because of the PCIE overclocking, try lowering your PCIE frequency(I believe it was @ 125).
ALso, I don't understand how the tjunction could be greater than core temps. I think everest is reading it wrong or soemthing.
Once I am done priming, I intend to run 3dmark06 in a loop for testing
3D stability. I will post back the results.
The thread has been inactive in the last 2 days. Did everybody give up their boards already? :P
Nope.
But I'm doing some stuff that need to be done in a day or two :D
Hey bro, my pci-e was at 100 when i got the problems, also i lowered my ram frequency for now just to keep the system stable, well see what happens with the next bios release, i hope memory problems get sorted out.Quote:

Broly, it IS possible to get 500fsb+ and 2000mem speed+ stable on 790, it just doesnt work on all boards and seems to be very tricky to tweak, while on x48 its easier. after all nvidia advertises the 790 as THE enthusiast chipset which can reach higher fsb and mem speeds than other chipsets... but all the sudden it turns out most of the chipsets actually oc worse than intel chipsets, and even the best ones nvidia can churn out are at best, as good as intel x48 chipsets or maybe slightly better, depending on the clock speeds your running.
and now nvidia is saying its an isolated issue with extreme overclocking?
doesnt nvidia say 790 officially supports ddr3 2000?
that was the main selling/marketing point from what i remember...
so now officially the max is 1333fsb with 1333 mem and 1600fsb with 1600 mem is already extreme overclocking?
Highly agreed with you saaya.Quote:

Nvidia released a brief announcement admitting that its latest nForce 790i
chipset for Intel CPUs cause data corruption under overclocking conditions.
The problem was reported by many enthusiasts that tried to overclock a 790i-based system
by changing the processor system bus (PSB) as well as the memory clock speeds.
Reports indicated that this procedure could lead to data corruption on hard disk drives.
"Nvidia has received reports of data corruption when using certain high speed memory and overclocking
the front side bus," Nvidia admitted. "Our engineers are currently investigating
this issue and as soon as we have more information, we will provide an update," the company said.
Apparently, Nvidia is preparing a new BIOS update to fix the problems related to the most
expensive chipset around.
Consumers had also experienced similar issues in the past caused by the Nvidia nForce 4 based
motherboards.
Nvidia's 790i platform is designed for current and next-generation Intel CPUs,
including those that support a 1600MHz frontside bus (FSB). It supports DDR3 memory,
PCI Express Gen 2.0, and the new Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA) communications protocol
for the real-time monitoring and control of PC components. The nForce 790i Ultra SLI MCP
is also certified to run 2-Way, 3-Way, and Quad SLI GPU configurations.

I got another S2E and no corruptions problems anymore. But I can't get any stable oc on this thing. I've played around w/ all voltages and all I get is fail on Prime in less then 1 min and BSOD, every single time for the past 4 days no matter what fsb set. My Q6600 did 400x9 or 450x8 on P35, X38 and 780i before without a sweat but this is ridiculous. And to keep it worse, after reading this forum carefully for the past 2 weeks, I'll probably get random freeze if I finally get it running.

I got my S2E Mine is running like a champ running X3360 at 3995. RAID 0.. with OCZ 1600EB Ram. I think Ram setting have alot to do with getting this board stable.. I had a few issues until I got ram right.. I RAN OCCT for 12hrs and 3dmark 06 for 6hr Rock Solid!
Anyone know the fix for Distored Audio when Scrolling Website? Appears When ever I have HD Access or like scrolling in the forums I get Distored Audio.. Very wierd. when I dont Overclock I dont have the issues I ve tried the onboard audio and SB X-FI Both PCI-E Cards..
any Ideas?
Check your SATA/PATA controllers channels modes, probably your HDD has fallen-down to PIO mode.
forgot to mention I am running RAID 0 with (2) Seagate 1TB 7200.11 drives
I also tried running the default drivers and the nvidia drivers for raid
I have the same ram and showed no errors on memtest running 7-6-6-24 2T. 1T got 1000+ errors in 2 sec. But then again I don't think is the memory, it's the mobo itself.Quote:

Sure I can pass memtest86+ for multiple hours; but when I load windows, play games and start actually using my PC, I get lockups. The system will freeze at peak activity with combined stress on CPU/RAM and HDD.
Going from 1T to 2T helped a lot and made the lockups much less frequent. Basically I can now prime for 8+hours with no freezing. But if I run Crysis benchmark tool with hundreds of runs (2 loops each), I will end up with a lockup [99% of the time when the level is being loaded].
If I disable P1/P2, everything is fine. So yeah it is really a matter of getting the ram work @1800 with certified timings and P1/P2 enabled.
well, so its rock stable with p1 nd p2 disabled?
then its def the chipset, some can run p1 nd p2 enabled at high speeds, some cant... if thats really the problem then nvidia should bin the chipsets properly and sell the 790ultra as p1 p2 at high speeds stable and the 790 non ultra as p1 p2 fail at high speeds...
isnt that what nvidia initially said they would do?
so is everybody here only having corruption issues with p1 and p2 enabled?
or also with p1 and p2 disabled?
x2beach, did you ever have any problems running that ocz 1600 EB at stock? like lockups and restarts etc? im having problems getting my S2E to run stable even at stock settings and auto volts, it keeps locking up in games and during stress tests, ive tested a QX6700 & Q9450, and 7600GT & 9800GX2 and now ive tested a set of 1600EB OCZ ram 2x2gb & 1333 ocz ram 2x1gb and it locks up everytime.
tell me what volts/timings are you using for your ram? ive just manually changed the ram divider to 5:8 in the bios to see if the 1:2 divider is what is causing the problem
(i just received my motherboard back today as i RMA'd it since i couldn't figure out what was causing the problem and didnt have a second set of memory to test at the time and the store said they found no faults with the board)
Unfortunately you are not the only one with problems with this combination of motherboard and memory:Quote:

Hope this gives you some inspiration to solving the issues. I still doubt the RAM as such are faulty, the combination is just bad or the motherboard sucks/is faulty.
Indeed rock stability has to be redifined for this board:Quote:

My board is rock stable with P1/P2 set to auto (=disabled), but then bandwidth is so poor.
When they are enabled I have to raise NB to 1.7V, loosen the ram timings a lot and it's almost there but still not stable.
And I just run at fsb 450 linked and synched, CPU only @3.6GHz. Maybe others are lucky with other boards revision (mine is b1) or different ram.
thanks for those links holmer they help a little, after i made that last post i decided to test a theory i had and i changed the ram divider in bios manually to linked 5:8 which downclocked the memory to 1066 instead of the stock 1:2 divider at 1333 and ive been playing cod4 for the last 40minutes without any lockups whereas before when i was using 1:2 divider it was crashing after about 20 mins or so. perhaps it is the motherboard that is causing the problems im going to try leaving it to prime and see if it locks up.
andymg350, Here is what I changed from AUTO in the bios for RAM
bump the Voltage to 1.9
P1: Auto
P2: Auto
tCL: 8
tRCD: 8
tRP: 8
tRAS: 24
Command clock: 2T
PM me if you need more help.. My ram is stable at those setting
No corruption, Air Cooling (waiting for WC parts), memory voltage is 2.0V, core voltage is 1.392V:

I also found out the same. P1 and P2 @ Auto is very stable. As soon as enable them, I am getting random lockups when priming or just even browsing.Quote:

guys how much bandwith do u lost same settings just linked or unlinked on everest?
