but instead of qpi at 205 x 18 i am running 205 x12.
all i did was change the qpi link speed to disable
so far performance wise no difference from gc benchmark etc
will post later..
just sold off my gc's just a few minutes ago.
sourcing some new gc's hopefully atomics'

I have tried it in all slots (except the 4x slot since it is physically an 8x card and will not fit)... I have played with memory lowgap (up to 2560) with no change...
Has anyone got a RAID card to work in PCI-E slots 1, 3 or 4?
tested one for office a areca pcie 8x two ssd on raid no issue. on the middle pciex 16 slot. aka pciex 3Quote:

Defective board? or

Something overlooked in bios? or
Something else going on....
Answers on a postcard ..... ;)
Edit: Just tested with an Adaptec host raid card that i had lying around and that works just fine so it is looking like a LSI / DFI incompatibility :down:
Anyone got one of these working with a LSI Megaraid card?
well it also worked fine with my asus xonar d2x which is 1x.Quote:

Can confirm that a Highpoint RocketRAID and Areca card both work in all PCI-E slots.Quote:

Apparently the 8888ELP card is causing issues to (saw it regarding P45 boards) so I was wondering if it is a PCI-E 2.0 issue (my LSI works flawlessly on PCI-E 1.0)...
What bios? Currently using the 16/06 release and have tested the Adaptec fix release....
Been trying out BIOS 06-16 the last day and a half and cant get my system to work at same clock as I did with 05-08 without BSODing all over the place. Reverting to previous release...
no diff for me.Quote:

hi guys!
my new Ci7 920 D0 Batch#3845B260 end new WC setup:
WC:
[Laig 3.2+XSPC ResTop] -> [XSPC RX360+3xYate Loon 1440RPM] -> Sapphire (Core i7 920) -> MCW30 (x58) -> SW16 (Digital PWM) -> MCW60r2 (GTX285)

ambient - 24
water IDLE - 26.3
water Load - 32

Factotum: You might be having a problem with Turbo throttling at full load. That's when your +1 Turbo will rapidly cycle on and off so your CPU multiplier will bounce back and forth from 21 to 20. That is likely why RealTemp is reporting 20.8 for your multiplier.
Try running i7 Turbo and keep an eye on what it shows for the Calculated Multiplier. Run Prime 95 Small FFTs and see if it is steady at 21.000 or not.

If your Turbo is cutting out at full load then there should be an option in your bios to turn this off.

While Prime95 Small FFTs is running, the Calculated Multiplier should stay steady at 21.000. If i7 Turbo 6.1 shows that it is constantly less than 21.000 then that is a sign of Turbo throttling. Your bios looks like it is setup correctly. Try turning on the Log File feature of i7 Turbo so you can go back and see if the multiplier drops down for 1 second which might be reporting error or if it is constantly changing and dropping below 21.000. Post a piece of your log if you see a lot of numbers in a row below 21.000.

anomaly?
Factotum: How about reducing your overclock down to about 190x21 and run Prime95 Small FFTs again and see if this problem goes away?
Based on your bios settings, your CPU shouldn't be throttling but it looks like it is trying to.
Edit: Before doing that maybe try turning off Everest. This might be interfering with i7 Turbo.
confirmed!!! Turbo/RealTemp have conflicts with EverestQuote:

many thanks @unclewebb
Testing my new toy,

Low volts, but high temp. I think its time to watercooling :rolleyes:
Edit-Promising,

I received today my dominator gt, and reading the elpida graveyard post, i have fear to kill them too fast. What vtt is usually needed with elpida chips?
Wow that temp is rather high IMO...by the way what batch of yours (3520)?Quote:

3845A935.
I have no problems with pci and my 295. Im using 0508 official bios.
Depends on mem and bclk frequencies and cpu multiplier used - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=227580Quote:

I need some help for my friend, he got his new setup today (DFI X58 + G.SKill Trident + i7 920 D0) and the mobo is only showing 2 cores instead of 4 (@BIOS on CPU-Z etc), we tried everything and still shows 2, any idea? please any help would be appreciated...
