slim142,
Install only 2 drives the other must not be in the chain or attached to system.
2nd use only 174.xx video drivers.
DONOT use 175.xx.
It's up to you; but my friend has same system & noproblem in sli ect.
All 3 of us run 100% stable, sli ect.

I'm not having any issues with SLI as well.
Will sure try this... but later on. Im really tired of dealing with so much stuff right now (from this pc only) that I want to rest for a while. Give me a day or two since opening this bulldozer is really annoying... (got to move lots of stuff)Quote:

See if you can install that and try
"Bookmarked", will check it out this Monday/Tuesday ( gotta prepare some stuff for benching now for the weekend )
New NForce drivers are on the NVidia site:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_vista64_15.17.html
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_vista_15.17.html
Its either those nforce drivers, or these beta geforce drivers, or well, both.
But, i completed the first level of CoH:OF with SLI, usually i cant get 1/3rd of the way with SLI enabled.
Now i just played about an hour and a half of Crysis, no hassles.
Of course, now that ive said that im going to get a freeze.
But until then, im a happy chappy :D
Thats ok my friend :)Quote:

I did find slim, that my TV (inside the PC of course) is very jumpy with SLI enabled, it always has been, even when SLI wasnt so stable, but as for watching movies and crashing, i havnt had that yet (although i havnt watched anything really, just put on a movie for 5 minutes to see if it would crash).
Coupa, dont leave me alone on this man, Dont! :p:Quote:

To check your version, could you please go to NVIDIA Control Panel->Help-> system information and it should show you the driver version you have. I would really like to know this! (Even though you might be using a Vista32 only driver, this would still be usefull info)
Finally, bro, I know you are not a tester for anybody, but if you could please verify that video issues with SLI enabled are gone, I would really appreciate!. We all need divx, xvid, matroska codecs etc to watch videos/movies, so if you have any movie in your pc that uses this codecs could you just play it and minimize it and see if you freeze after ~5 minutes.
EDIT: I see it weird that I when I manually go to nvidia.com, then drivers, then nforce XP, I get 9.64 :S , how did you guys find out there were new drivers? :S
EDIT#2: Wow, when I try to download the drivers, it tells me Maintenance, The page you have requested is currently undergoing maintenance and will be available again shortly. LOL!
Version 177.26 for my Geforce drivers, and for the nforce drivers, someone posted the vista32 link in the asus forums, so i changed it to vista64, but while i was looking for the vista64 ones (before i gave up and just typed it in) i used the google site search for 15.17, and the xp drivers came up, so i just posted them here for you. When i manually searched i came up with the "old" drivers too.Quote:

NVM, the driver doesn't seem to work. When i Tried installing it, it said vista 64 and i still went ahead and installed it, but it doesn't work.
Thanks for the help anyways bro. Will see if by the time we get a new BIOS, the new drivers are back.Quote:

The link to the driver and the actual source where I found about it is here. Reading through that Forum, it seems like the only chane is the Ethernet drivers, maybe it will help Slim with his driver installation problem in xp.

Check it out. this is with onboard Nvidia mediashield

RAID 0+1 4 Seagate 7200.1 32MB Enterprise drives.
No so good
Are you planning on getting a RAID controller? I guess is worth it in your situation...
Watched a 40 minute avi file, no crash at all in SLI! Next i shall try a matroska and after that maybe a 700mb movie. Looks promising. And it probably is the geforce driver, as some guy on asus forums says that the nforce driver didnt work for him.Quote:

I hate this replacement board. I was happily running 445 FSb with my previous S2E before I bricked it. I refuse to OC without having a stable system @ stock settings. I guess I will have to go back to one of the previous BIOS(0704 maybe, 0603 was what I had with my previous board) and try.Quote:

Just wanted to know.
Is anyone else getting issues with SLI + a TV card? I just want to know before i start asking about the actual tv card and SLI being the problem, seeing as theres so many problems with this motherboard, its a good thing to rule out first.
It just keeps jumping...but it works fine with one card.
Edit: Turned Aero off, and now its working ok again, even with SLI. Odd, but good, thats easier to turn off then SLI.
Thanks for doing a comparison..looks like the Adaptec IS the real deal. I wonder how much better 2 SSD's would be on the Adaptec in RAID 0.Quote:

Tyke, if is not much trouble to you can you give a try on BIOS 0603 with same settings you have and see if the flashing screen persists...Quote:

My SIIE is on the UPS truck and headed to me now. I'm hoping I'll be one of the guys giving help here rather than needing it.
I do intend to immediately replace the thermal interface on the chipset and mosfet heatsinks with AS Ceramique. I've only done that once before so any tips would be appreciated. In this particular board's case would I want to use a bit more than I usually use on a CPU just to ensure good contact or do the heatsinks already sit well on the NB and SB (etc.)?
slim, I've been reading your posts on various forums. . . and I'm pulling for you! Though, honestly, I'd redirect my attention fully to that inability to install ethernet drivers. If that persists even after an OS wipe, I think you're looking at a hardware fault. :(
Well, about the heatsink. I recommend you leave the motherboard on that skinny plastic thing that it comes in and then you proced. This will help you out A LOT when you remove the screws since as you know, there are heatsinks at the bottom of the board and you need to make sure the screws get in place with them, leaving the board on the plastic thing makes this heatsinks stay in place so when you put the big heatsinks back in place, all you need to do is put it on top and screw it back, no messing with the heatsinks on the backside of the board.Quote:

And finally, yes, I dont know why this board would do this to me. Is not that I cant use the internet at all, but having to buy another ethernet adaptor just because this thing woulnt install, is really annoying. Well, I guess I didnt get the perfect board after all :shrug:
Found this guide specifically for the Striker (though perhaps not the II Extreme) on the Asus forums (with some replies from Slim). That seems like a *lot* of thermal paste in those screenshots. But the results are good so I guess I shouldn't question. Though any feedback regarding the amount of paste would still be appreciated. I'll keep googling.
(I've added my sig with my current system. Though that will hopefully be changing this weekend)
Slim142 STOP BEING PATHETIC !! AND RMA YOUR BOARD !!!
I have told you three times now to do this but you just won't do it do you?
You are like those old people that are always complain over there deseases and pain, just to get attention, and never seeing the doctor.
http://www.plasticnipple.com/images/...hore_beach.jpg
There are enough users with a SIIE that run SLI like a charm, so seems like your board is faulty, learn to live with it or RMA the damn thing.
But please stop asking and thinking and trying , and DO something !
Hope I shaked you awake now :)

Show me SIIE users using XP (OS that receives less drivers updates now)with SLI that are not having issues. Show me "enough" users to feel motivated enough to RMA my board now AND I WILL DO IT RIGHT NOW.

Slim I'm really hoping as much as you that we can raise our hands up in celebration when the lot of us figure out how to tame this beast, no doubt there is potential here regardless of the issues.
Cheers.
Tried with Plug & Play enabled, no change. I am getting the same flashing even with a Asus Sonar soundcard in the PCI-E x1 slot, so it seems to be a PCI-E error!!!

OMG!!! This board is such a PITA. I am very close to ripping my system apart and jumping up and down on the board. I tried 0704 and the system froze during priming with everything @ default speeds. I would strongly recommend against RMAing the board if you do not have compelling reason to do it.It seems like a hit or miss with what kind of SPP chip that you end up with on your board. Nvidia's "Ultra" chip binning is a joke. Anyway, my ranting apart am trying 0603 now, which worked for me with my previous board and hope and pray everything works without any data corruption.
Edit: This is after an overnight and sucessful run of memtest 2.01(about 6 hours 11 passes).
Thank you very much for the support.Quote:

For anyone that still has the freezing issues, i suggest they still try and find and run the 177.26 drivers, cause that worked for me. Although of course, loosening RAM works for some, and not for me, disabling CPU cores works for some, not for me, etc etc etc. Might just be my lucky thing.

what are you talking about? (Sry... long time since ive been here...) WWhat did it solve?
I had this issues where the ethernet drivers wouldnt install. Even after installing XP 20 times, nForce installer would install the SMBUS and IDE/SATA drivers, but when the ethernet driver started to copy the files to the HDD, it would get stuck in the middle and then not respond. I wasnt even able to install the drivers manually cuz it wouldnt let me anyways.Quote:

Yes I know this is weird, but what can you expect from NVIDIA? One day works, the other it dont.
slim - i tried to replicate your video issue with 9800GTX@SLI (double) by playing mkv file over the night, and it's okay. though i'm still getting weird trisli problem, need to check my bridge later.
qx9770/c1, 4x2gb @ 1600 7-6-6-15-2t, latest bios and nvidia driver for nf and gf. rest of all set to Auto.
Edit: Nevermind. Was just good ol' CD autoplay. Disabled in registry and the heartbeat has stopped. I think I'm only noticing it because I have SATA CD/DVD drive for the first time and the LED on my other system doesn't register older PATA activity.
Hi All,
I haven't seen this issue on a computer I've built in a long while. And, honestly, it's barely an issue and is more a paranoid concern on my part.
My IDE activity LED has a "heart-beat." As soon as I load into Windows, it starts to flash rhythmically. About once per second. And it never stops.
I've seen this caused by CD drive autorun and other issues long ago. But haven't seen this on any of my recent builds. Looking at my system running side-by-sid in sig. . . it has no heartbeat.
XP 64-bit. PATA ports disabled.
Can another Striker II Extreme owner here confirm that you're getting this too so I can move on to more important things? :)
Well, that's odd. Either my backplane or the BIOS has mislabeled ethernet ports. I'm on 0704 bios. I have #2 disabled according to the BIOS. But #1 on the backplane is the one that's actually disabled. I've googled, but I seem to be the only one to have ever noticed this (or thought it worth pointing out?).
Sorry for the mundane concerns. But rest assured that after my initial overnight stress tests, the overclocking will begin in earnest tomorrow. I also plan on putting in my other 8800gtx to test for Slim's SLi video-watching issue.
BTW, my board is revision 1.02g. If that matters.
I have the same issue, but mine stops within a few mins.Quote:

Q9450. At stock speed and BIOS defaults (mostly), Real Temp 2.60 is reporting my cores at 46, 44, 42, 42 at idle. Load temps get as high as 57-60. Room temperature is about 82f/27.5c
I've remounted my Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme three times now. Last time, I used the bare minimum of thermal paste. No change.
I undervolted the CPU and underclocked it drastically (something like 1.6GHz). No change.
Is there a known issue with cpu temp reporting on this board? The Bios is reporting the CPU at 28-29c!

Real Temp records my Q9450 at 38-40C. And i only have a Zalman 9500. So...maybe your temperature sensor is wrong or something?Quote:

Since the calibration only allows a max value of +/-3, calibration isn't an option for me as I can't get anywhere near the target of 29c idle temp (21.9+7).
So, I think I'm about ready to just chalk this up to faulty sensors and/or other odness. There's someone over on [H] that is getting nearly identical readings as me with a Tuniq Tower.
The fact that the CPU returns to idle temp quickly from load temp and that the load temp is only +10-12c different from idle persuades me a bit that the cooler and as5 are applied correctly. So would you all agree that it's just time to stop worrying and ignore these temp readings?
Interestingly this review suggests Asus recommend 1.70 for the S2E:Quote:

Interesting to see, that according to this table, 790i ULTRA doesn´t support 2GB modules running at 1800Mhz and at 1800Mhz we can only use 2 slots.
So, in teory, if we want to run our memory at 1800Mhz,or more,we are LIMITED to 2GB!!! :mad:
i´m wondering if someone around here is running 4GB (2x2GB or 4x1GB) at 1800Mhz?

I know my CPU(X3350) will do 1802 stable but my OCZ RAM is only rated for 1600Mhz so I don't know if failing to run at 1800 would be because of the ram or 790i Ultra not supporting it as you say. I'll report back after I try again tonight.
1760Mhz linked and sinked? Have you done a SFC?Quote:

I have run it in the past..it says file are corrupt...reboot no changes at all run it again it passes. It's not truly able to tell you if you have corrupt files in my opinion. You can also run it with an OC and it fails..reboot at stock settings and it'll pass.Quote:

Memtest 2.01 twice, passed both times. Took about a half hour each time.
Ran Prime95 for an hour. passed 4 tests no errors, I stopped it after an hour.
Ran Super PI ok
Ran Everest Membench..good numbers.
Hi Magic,
I was running 4x1Gb sticks of OCZ PC3-16000C9 2000MHz at 1800 sync & linked (see earlier posts 868, 873 & 875) but backed them off to 1720 so that I could squeeze a bit more from the CPU and run tighter memory settings at CAS 7 and 1T command rate with the 0801 bios. Partly this reduction in FSB speed was also due to the NB temp reaching 70+ even after replacing the heatsink tape with arctic silver.
I have read somewhere that a 2000FSB can only be achieved with two DIMMS in A2 and B2 sockets but never managed to get a successful boot in either A1/B1 and A2/B2 configurations.
What I hate from NVIDIA is the low # of "officially" supported memory
Trigger5521 can you post your settings with 1760, i will give them a try , since a really want to run memory linked and sinked.Quote:

Forceware 9.64 (WHQL)(installed all of it)
Video 174.16 beta(not WHQL)
SoundBlaster Beta drivers 2.18.000
No, I can only get 1800MHz in the white slots.Quote:
