I've actually tried both cards individually in this build and got same results, but I'll try that and report back.

Lowering clock speeds didn't work, but I did increase the voltage slightly and it hasn't crashed yet.
Edit: Doesn't work either.
hi,
i don't know if this is the place, feel free to move if i'm wrong.
the situation is this, my first gpu card heats alot. and the asus smart doctor app i think isn't configured right.
what are the recommendations of the fan configuration on the card ? (asus 6790dcii) 10x
on some games the card went up to 95c and fan didn't accelerate. so i had manually put 100% above 75C.
Raja@Asus or anyone ...very please.... can you tell me what for is the 4pin power connector above 1st. PCI-E 16x slot on the left side ?

Do i need to plug that in or is it just for an extreme OC or QUAD SLI ?
I appreciate any help... thank you
wow 8 minutes :D :D that was fast! Thank you very much.
BTW the guy who designed the Formula X79 layout should get a Nobel prize.
A little help guys, im having problems going to 4.7 or 4.8ghz, i am 100% stable with 4.6ghz at 1.325v with 46x multi, 4.8 @ 1.43v which is 1v over 1.32 just for 200 mhz, which doesnt ake sense. Seems ok in some games, then out of no where i get a bsod, now prime will run stable for an hour as well, this is with 1.43v. Vcssa is at 1.1v vtt is at 1.15v, i used this guide as well with no luck. system specs are below, using the latest 0802 bios. I have a feeling this might have something to do with my memory.

HelixPC,
With 32Gb of ram, I'd increase your vtt to 1.2-1.25, and vccsa to the same. See if that helps.
Is that the newer Vegeance with XMP profiles for the X79?
I think its memory as well. Have you tried any of the presets in the BIOS? Rampage Tweak "Mode 1" seems to help quite a bit for those with Gskill, Might be worth a shot.
Hello,
Just installed my RIVF mb and aisuite II V10211 from asus RIVF download page. Now i have this little "problem"
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~mobsters/Problem/Thermal.jpg
Is this intended or how i can fix it, or can i fix it. The AIsuite is also missing some items that should be there and some other have older version number. Little disappointed at this point :down:
any answers regarding asus smartdoctor ?
and about the asus saberthooth bios ... any option to change opt fan low limit ? my noctua fan is 300 rpm and because of that always bios alerts me on that.
yup that's what i did, i hope this will be available on next bios releases.
Raja, any idea on my problem? I believe I have a memory issue as I was able to run it fine using one stick (still need to do more testing on that), but I would like to know what you think it might be.
What memory do you have and what settings? I can see Gskill 32GB DDR3-1600, is this a 32GB kit or two 16GB kits combined?
If one module works fine then you will likely need to increase VCCSA and/or relax some of the sub-timings. Set VCCSA to around 1.10~1.20V, and try using the Hynix profile. If that does not help, try the Max MHz profile and then tighten down timings slowly.

I run 32GB of Vengeance and found it can bring instability at higher CPU clocks. Like Raja said, I had to loosen some secondaries and increase VTT and VCCSA. You can also try removing 16GB and test for stability and if that is stable you know it is mem related.
I'm using a 32gb kit. Here's the one:

VCCSA was set around 1.2 by using auto settings. I recall trying 16gb and it was ok. Didn't really get a chance to test it though. I take it Hynix profile is a setting in the BIOS? Along with Max MHz profile? By tightening you mean increasing timing from say default at 9 to say 10/11? I also recall seeing the memory run at around 1.65 volts at default, even though the sticks say 1.5. Should that be a problem? I'm kinda new at overclocking. :)
I'm at work and don't have access to it at the moment. If you could, give a quick step by step on what to adjust so when I do get home, I don't have to spend much time looking around for it, since I won't have much time tonight. Christmas shopping and all. :)
Thanks Raja!
In the memory timing section of UEFI, select the Hynix profile. The Max MHz profile is very loose and will reduce system performance a little so that's why I said tighten the timings slowly after checking impact on system stability. Set DRAM voltage manually to 1.50V if operating at a speed of DDR3-1600.
If you have the same kit I have, Vengeance uses Micron 43nm and doesnt really scale with voltage. You can actually get instability from more than 1.60v so I would use that much or less.
I run mine at 1.5v:

As you can see secondaries are quite loose. Since then I tightened up the tertiary timings but not by too much. 32GB puts a lot of stress on the IMC so it is a little more difficult to find that sweet spot.
Yeah, BIOS was defaulting to 1.65v even though it was at DDR3-1600.
Just to clarify, tightening the timings means to increasing the settings? Example Cas latency and other ones? I did find this while searching G.Skill's site:
