ben 805 did you receive raid drivers with your board? I'm wanting to install raid0 using 4 raptors and had no success using the drivers I had on floppy for the dfi board from the F6 promt.

Yes it can :)Quote:

Thanks, never noticed that before.
please read my previous post, you'll need to load the default bios setting to reset the APM, it's a bug. ;)Quote:

Bens doing a great job here and lets have it said
the thread deserves Sticky
Thanks ben, got it.
ben - great thread!!
here is where i am at so far with my setup - opty 170 / a8n32 /ocz plat eb:

Good to see u in in 'arctic-k20' I am 3dmarko3 27279 but mem well out off syn.
Dont forget to put that mem in the post for me ;)
Here's what I got with mine...
The 3dmark05 score seems low though. Not sure yet. Stock clocks on the 7800GTs.
What are you guys getting for Mobo temps? PC Probe is the only software that seems to read this board right now. Not sure how reliable it is though.

Ben, after your tips I have tried two CPU's and they had the same problems
CPU's: Venice 3200+ and X2 3800+
- both are RS @2.4Ghz (with the same voltage in the BIOS)
- both boot @2.55Ghz
- both don't boot @2.6Ghz
I sure that is a mobo problem...or mobo CPU voltage problem!
In windows CPU-Z, AI booster and PC Probe reads three different voltages..
From BIOS, when i set 1.5V system don't boot. When I set 1.3V + 200mV (= 1.5V) the system go fine.
I can't belive I have foud the only two cpu's in the world that aren't stable over 2.4Ghz...but don't know what doing more... :(
If anyone can help me...
hey did anyone ever figure out if this mb was defualting to less v-core on the dual cores or not? i read somthing about that in this thread but cant seem to find it now. fixin to instal this mb so was deff woundering about this...
btw: does the shipping bios need to be flashed to somthing beter? im deff going to have to read this whole thread front to back...
thx perc,
0703 seems to be the favorite.
mine shipped with 0703 !!
Measured with a DMM at the MOSFET's mine over volts on default vcore with a X2-3800+. MaxTcase shows it as a 1.35v chip, my Ultra-D set it to 1.35 on auto {DMM measured}.Quote:

Only way I've came up with to get close to 1.35v is set vcore to 1.2875 in the BIOS and that gives me 1.344v actual.
blue078: ive noticed something along those lines as well..on my board i set the vcore to 1.5 and it was showing 1.392 - the only way i could reliably get the vcore to where i wanted it was to drop it down to 1.3v and do the 200mv over volt function - then it tracks properly.
I'm having success with the 805 beta bios. My overclocks on both mem and cpu went up considerably. Much more stable. I'll see if my results are the same as ben805 when my mach II comes in. He had issues with phase with the beta bios. My voltage that I am setting in the bios seem to be extremely accurate. cpuid and pcprobe agree. When I raise the voltage in bios the temps also rise accordingly. I haven't measured at the mosfet yet (not sure where to check *Blue078* can you show me where?)Quote:

No comment on my 3dmark05 score? Is that low for sli? Also what about my mobo temps? I regularly get 115 to 120. Is that high?
*A bit off topic but* I know this is ben05's thread but there are others that are trying to contribute here. I didnt want to create a seperate thread so I post here trying to help. I have posted many times and my posts seem to be ignored. Why is that? Is it because my results are different? I'm not having any problems with my board. With voltage, bios or otherwise. Don't get me wrong, ben05 has done a great job but his results are not the only ones that are gospel. Do I have to :kissbutt: to ben05 to get any response? Ok here you go. I'm not worthy :slapass: , you guys rock :party3: and :moon:
thanks!
If you want individual recognition of your results, you'd be better off to start your own thread. You really can't complain about no one commenting on your results in Ben805s thread. No offense, just a bit of advice.Quote:

i just got up and running im having trouble running the top 16x pci slot im having to use the bottom one to get it to boot? anyone have this issue? im going to try poping it back in now that ive gotten it to boot and have had some time to go into the bios and set a few things. man this bios is WAY differnt then the DFI bios im going to need to study this thread cause im lost on the settings... ok guys any help please bring it on i havent had an asus mb in a very long time!
peace perc,
I don't need a congrats your awesome or anything like ben05 regularly gets, just acknowledgement when I do post. I ask easy questions and simple advice and i'm just ignored. I thought it was silly to start another thread on the same topic. He got his board early, so did I. It's better if we all contribute I thought... I have noticed the same trend in some other threads as well. I try not to get offended honestly but it kind of sucks. :down: I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, that's why I waited so long to say anything. I'm still new around here and I guess I just didn't know that's the way it works. Anyways back on topic! Sorry guys....Quote:

They are just spread out on several pages and called some different things. It took me a while of playing around just to figure it all out. What settings are you having issues with? Ben05 posted some bios pics in the beggining of the thread if you want to reference them. What version bios you using? Try going back to the 703.Quote:

yeah man i did reseat the card but the case could be wraped im not sure from what ive read in the manual the top and bottom 16x slots can be used in single card mode so maybe ill just keep the card in the bottom for now hell beter air flow with the card away from the cpu socket anyways.. as far as bios settings i just need to dig in and get to playin around with them. im just soo used to the DFI and the bios that this asus is just plain wierd. im not even sure what bios this shipped with yet? ill have to look at cpu-z or somthing and see what version i have. well hey thx ill try reseating the card and go back to page one and start reading i gues it cant hurt any... so far so good i like the mb and im sure ill get things sorted out..
thx guys, perc

Something else I though of... check your pcie1 slot. See if there is anything in it that would block your card and check if there is any of the little gold paddles that are messed up. (the little things that make contact to the card)
Yup, exact same problem here. Regardless of what I set the Vcore to, with the cpu overvolt disabled it would only run 1.4/1.39v. Cpu overvolt enabled and everything works fine.Quote:
