I forgot to mention this, but at the top of the board on the back side there are two tiny little resistors. When I opened the box to my board 1 of them was sitting in it :( anyone knows what its for?
I could probably solder it back on myself, its pretty much by itself at the top. I havent had any trouble yet though, chugging 4.2ghz just wondered what it was for.
You're probably slowly frying your memory ;)Quote:

but but but, what will I do in the mean time? perhaps should try out a p6t till it gets back or maybe the tpower? ;)
man, I'd try the ECS before both of those lol.Quote:

i have the UD5 board and it came with a 2 way SLI connector, to fit perfectly to the 2 x16 slots....
i have my 2 8800 GT's there and i cant enable sli......whats going on?
i need help guys..........thanks in advance!
the radeon 3870x2 worked and i could adjust both gpu's seperately...
with the 2 8800 gt's i can adjust the temps on both fans, but the clock only on the main card...
riva tuner and nvida control panel shows 2 cards but cant get them to sli....:mad:
OS?drivers?
i have vista 64 bit, then just udated with sp1 and the display hotfix, and installed the newest nvida driver.....if i try to run ntune or accept the agreement in the nvida control panel i get a blue screen every time!! even when i use fail safe options in bios...
cant get sli, i have them connect properly too....
i did have an ati radeon card installed , shut down....then installed the sli, now nothing no sli....
Didn't i read somewhere that the X58 only supports the new 200 series cards for SLI, I an just going by what i remember reading but that would make sencewith your issues.
its got a 2 way sli connector tho and the new 200 series are 3 way and have a different connector....
From what i just read on google that they should be supporting the 8000 series, i wonder if anyone has done it?
please help LOL cause the 200 series only has the wide sli clip, everything else use 1 piece......
I will be joining all of you soon... my 920, extreme and 3x1 kingston 1800mhz should be here soon!
Well just don't get 12GB of ram, whatever you do. I tried for hours now, with 6 matched modules, and I just can't get the sucker of a mobo to boot up when OCed.
Stock BCLK and 1600 memspeed - fine, passes memtest easily. Try BCLK of 180 and any ram mult and it won't post. With 6x ram mult it posts sometimes, but hangs upton entering memtest. Anyone know what voltage I need to raise to make it work? I raised all of them quite a bit to no avail...
Oh yeah, BCLK 200 stable with 6GB of ram. Using 6x ram mult again, 8x means no post as well :S
Crap... your the second one of that i hear that...Quote:

btw what ram you got? the OCZ gold 1600?
Cause the other case i hear had the OCZ, but the modules had a different SPD, thought thy had the same designation. ( and didn't even ran at DDR3-1333 :p: )
what do you guys need 12gb of ram for anyways
With the advent of tabbed browsing... pictures of course. Many many pictures.Quote:

have you tried 1.55v+ QPI/VTTQuote:

other thing i suggest is load the XMP profile for the sticks and then change RAM divider if it decides to go higher after you increase BCKL clocks
I don't think they have an XMP profile.. or I can't find where to load it :D
only few mems have XMP, but it not really needed.
I can tell more tomorrow, when i have my rig up and running.
lazy manufacturer :p:
maybe next time get Corsairs
they have decent XMP profiles for their RAM usually
they dont always work great depending on boards bios support.....but with X58 for example no matter how hard it was to OC with a particular bios XMP profile was always giving me more stability.....newer bioses like F4f are easier to OC without XMP profile
are you the same joe cool as that German benchmarker or another dude
was always wondering that hehe
while you are at it
try to play with QPI/VTT and vcore to around 0.02v difference or thereabouts....keep them close and see what happens
sometimes its the mixture of volts that are no good
also try auto volts but use ET6 to see what bios selected and try manual set
it can be very handy manQuote:

Using latest F4J bios, liked F3 better tho... and no I won't buy Corsair, as I would have to shell out almost the same amout of money to buy 6GB of Corsair than that 12GB of CSX cost me :D
Anyway, gonna tell their tech support tomorrow I need an XMP profile.. shouldn't take long.
ah ok so you are a different guyQuote:

wow big price difference
XMP profile is a mix of timings and volts really....getting a really good mix of performance and stability on different boards is not an easy thing to do actually......these take a lot of tweaking actually
