hey guys the RIVE seems an amazing mobo for SBe just like the MIVE for SB
im itching to have a 6 core and just read again that ivy wont be 6 dang so maybe i jump on this platform, since gulftown i want one lol
i read somewhere that new stepping 7 OC better, intel corrected the virtualization an other stuff
the new stepping should be out on sales in some days
cheers

He plugged the CPU fan into one of the black 2 prong voltage reading ports. I have the P9X79 in my son's rig, and I guess I can see how it could happen. The port is near the CPU fan header....it's just that the voltage reading port looks nothing like a fan header. I mean its not even close!! :shrug:Quote:

Hi Raja, see if you confirm with me on this being a BIOS "bug", if I set my Dram Volts, to 1.65, "Auto" shoud set VttDDR to 1/2 of Dram voltage. Also the DDR CH[a-d] [Ctrl |DATA] are fixed at .5v, should that float higher/lower with Dram voltage?
On my sabortooth OVP/OCP doesn't see to be disabled when disabled is selected. The board powers off when under load at 5GHz and 1.55v (LLC) even though temps on VCORE are < 90. I hit 80 often, its like the board isn't right when VRM cooling. Yes I have a 120mm 72 CFM fan blowing on it.
Thoughts? Mostly the UEFI behavior, then if time the 2nd paragraph.
Side not, on all the Dram timings the Jedec Acronyms should be used. Its not like we don't have room for proper help in the F/W now with UEFI.

1) VTTDDR will be at half of VDD, the voltage is derived by a resistor network that is set to 50% by default. Ignore what BIOS reads. This is also unconnected on most modules so will have no effect.Quote:

3) If the shut off temp is breached the board will shut down regardless of OCP and OVP. Either way, you are at one of the limits and the board is shutting down to protect from a failure.

Where can i find the Latest beta bioses for Asus x79 WS.
Is there any thread like the thread: "GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS"
For some reason, I'm getting random lag spikes in game, mainly TF2. Even more noticeable when a lot is going on at once. Servers I play on range around 30-40ms and when using my other computer, I don't experience this. Even got a new modem and router (needed one anyway) to make sure that wasn't it. I checked for latest drivers and even tried reinstalling the ones that came with the disk. Is anyone else experience this? Could it be the fact that I have TF2 installed on a HDD while my OS is on an SSD? Networking really isn't my strong point. :/
Thanks! :)
Hi Raja,
AI Suite should be smart enough to know what the values are and display them correctly. if VttDDR is in fact 1/2 of Vdd of the drams, it should NOT be showing .5, when I have my RAM set at 1.65, nor should the other voltages for DRAM.
All auto settings should show currect true values; else what is the point of the program? You can't make valid logical choices when the application you are using is lying to you.
Another thing, the BIOS should display the chosen 'auto' value and put it on that line next to auto so we know what it did. I don't like CPU+auto-offset to display the total.. I can't tell what the BIOS is thinking or doing to correct up or down with any degree of accuracy.

So just to answer your last statement about displaying the offset, .5 represents 50% of DRAM voltage (DRAM voltage X 0.5). To find the actual voltage just multiply whatever you have set by DRAM voltage. Or leave at 0.50X to track 50% of DRAM voltage.

Any insight Raja? I've talked with my internet provider and everything is fine. I am able to run BF3 just fine so my guess is something with TF2. I did talk with a steam friend and he said people he knows still have problems to this day with tf2. I'm about to try a single gpu and see how that goes. My old computer which was built in the GTX260 series on 1366 socket doesn't have this problem so maybe it's an sli problem.

Bios 0906 was pulled from the asus website, is there something wrong?
It's not pulled, server issues which HQ are trying to rectify.Quote:

Also talked to my isp and they said everything has been fine for the past 5 days so I don't believe its that. When this stutter does happen, my ping doesn't go up either, so I'm leaning to a source problem. I did talk to a friend of mine and he knows people who still have this problem to this day. I just don't know why old computer runs it fine. Guess I'm just waiting for Valve to hopefully fix this.Quote:

Hm..does anyone experianced some CPU bclk strap issue?
I'm using 3930K + Sabertooth X79 w/ 0906 UEFI.
When I run 100Mhz CPU bclk strap it's fine. (100x45)
However if I change to 125Mhz (125x36) it will POST for the first attempt.
Then any system failure (e.g. 0x101 BSOD) will cause the system always fail to POST with the same setting.
Any workaround / solution for this issue please? I'm pulling my hair out and having a hard time playing 125Mhz strap...
Hello everybody. I am a newbie member here but have been a lurker for ages. I have always had a bookmark here to read and learn from the wealth of knowledge that lives here. I am a system builder and recently switched over to the Asus Sabertooth X79 board after many months of using the Sabertooth X58 and P6X58D Premium. Anyway, I ran into an issue with booting Win 7 Pro 64 SP1 and was only able to PM until the admin turned on my account on for posting here. I went back and forth a couple of times with Raja today and bingo, all is good! Thank you Raja!
My question at this point is what is the consensus here regarding a page file? with 32GB or 64GB of memory, is a page file even needed? I could see if someone was a power user of the Adobe CS5.5 suite and had all apps open and editing many large files but this is a rare instance and even then........
Thanks for having me here and I look forward to giving back to a community that has provided for so long.
What memory frequency used at 100 BCLK and 125 BCLK?Quote:

16Gb ram - 125 strap - 2333 ram 10-11-10-27 - works fine here , but needed a lot voltage tinkering...Quote:

You need to set it at 3000min 5000max for general useage. The new 79XX vidcards have 3GB RAM so 2 of them will take 6GB right off the bat. Just go to taskmanager/performance and see whats going on. I have a long discussion thread about no pagefile or RAM drive, some guys deleting the hiberfile etc., but the bottom line is 3-5 min max works best for 32/64Quote:
