Oh crap I just bought a 1200w Toughpower to use with this board. I'll let you know how it turns out. If I have problems, the PSU stays, the board goes!Quote:

I'm allready starting to think about a replace with another brand, any one knows a site that ships world wide, I'm thinking DFI or Asus.
I had a bench session tonight with the TT1200w with i7 920 at 1.55v under cascade & hd4890 CF and didn't have any problems with multiple restarts. The psu handled it well.
afaik there are a couple of different revisions of the psu range. Mine is a W0133
what the highest bclk anyone has gotten out of this biotch?
I havent tested long under the cold with the board. I can boot & bench at 222x21 with a C0 920 under cascade. Haven't tried higher yet.
My max BCLK is 221.9 Mhz. There are rumors that PCI-Express clock is bottleneck for BCLK and raising it over 110 Mhz will solve BCLK wall, but I can't stabilize even 103 Mhz PCI-E on EX58-Extreme with 8600 GT (or old PCI S3 Treo64, same sh*t :)), so I can't proove or disproove it.
It is not about multi. rstarts, it's about trying to boot from cold boot after pushing the PC.Quote:

I'm reading some old posts on this thread and found out that lowdog has the same problem as I am!
Hmm.........now is this a gigabyte issue or a Thermaltake issue....?
I've used 3 different PSU's by 3 different manufacturers (not just brands, manufacturers) and all three worked flawlessly. I'd lean towards TT being the issue.Quote:

without any problems, now you couple it with a gigabyte x58 and the mobo sometimes won't boot!
I think it is a gigabyte problem.
Whatever. Sell it, get a new board....live on.
asked for advice right? its not unheard of to have compatibility issues :p:Quote:

Is it someone here that have tried or heard something about this batch: 3847A764 ?
My Gigabyte mobo and 920 D0 is coming tomorrow:D
Exact same batch as I have, up to 210x21 no problems, but above that it starts screaming: "more volts, more volts":p:, since my gpu refuses to work with increased pci-e clocks I can't get past the 222 barrier, so can't tell you how much higher the chip would go. 1.33 vcore in bios (1.30 according to various apps in windows under load) gets the job done fine for 200x21 24/7 at 100% load on all cores with HT on.Quote:

Done, I've put the EX58-extreme back to its box and it's place in my Spedo case now is the Rampage 2 Extreme....works like a charm! not a single cold boot issue!Quote:
