This appears to work with Forceware 177.XX drivers and up only I believe. Provided you have those initial drivers installed, after you install the newest PhysX driver v08.07.18 (Link to download driver) go to the Start menu, open the "Nvidia Corporation" folder and you should see "NVIDIA PhysX Properties" there. Click on it and check the Settings tab. Should look something like this:Quote:

Interesting...
Question / Issue
I have random black screen or blinking when connecting to a DVI LCD monitor.
Answer / Solution
This may be due to a timing issue. One thing to try is to go in to the NVIDIA control panel under display select “manage custom timings” and you want to click on create, and then select advanced down at the bottom right hand side, and there are options for the “timing standard” select “CVT Reduced Blank” click test and then click ok.
Thank you EVGA forums.... I think that fixed the problem. I wonder why I never ran into this before today.
On Vista X64 the PhysX panel is in the 32 bit control panel!Quote:

It looks like my video card did go south. Now I have green dots all over thescreen and this forum has purple lines everywhere. Time to RMA to evga :(
Edit:
Picked up a new 9800GTX and a Corsair 1000Watt power supply... this will make me feel better. once the RMA comes back its SLI time.
Sorry to hear your card went south, would be nicer if you could use the step-up program and get a 280. :)
Is everybody free of corruption on this board now?
The dust seems to have settled since BIOS 901 I think, so far everything has been stable 24\7 for a few weeks now. Finally get to really enjoy this board the way we were meant to. :up:Quote:

1702 linked and synced @ 7-7-7-22 is my max stable but I'm pretty happy with that considering I'm running 2x2GB of ram. Overall I have to say I'm quite happy with this board, if you want SLI it's the way to go IMO.
No corruption here either. Everything is nice n smooth
Hey guys i need a little bit of your world famous experience. I seem to be geting BSOD's everytime i start up. It will only happen once, and then i can use the PC as normal. I get no freezing during games or videos and the system really works well. This only started happening recently, but i havent changed any settings in my bios. Has anyone else had similar problems and what did you do to fix it?
What RAM are you running? Sometimes the bios has very low ram voltages depending on what your sticks are rated for.
Sorry i forgot to leave my specs,
Q9550 @ 3.82 Ghz Bios 901
OCZ Platinum 1440 8-8-8-20 1T

The OCZ Platinum 14400 didn't work well for me. But isn't it 8-8-8-24/28 what their rated at? at 1.90v?Quote:

It looks like the new drivers loose some in 3dmark06 but gain a lot with vantage(mostly because of the Physx support). I think 200 points is just too much to be considrered within the margin for error of multiple 3dmark runs. I hope this improves with the actual WHQL drivers as not all games have Physx support.
Oh yeah, I just watched Micheal Phelps win the gold medal in the 400M IM.
GO PHELPS!!!!!!
finally 1002 works for me...dont know the prob but i reinstalled vista and installed 177.79+15.17.
on the other hand i gonna get rid of this board as soon as i get two 4870x2, alrdy have a rampage extreme.
s2e just a failure ~.~
Not sure if I would say it's a failure but I won't argue it was a bumpy ride to get this engine to run smoothly. Now that it is, I can say I'm actually having fun with this board these days. Just needed a good BIOS and lots of patience. All those hours of tweakage were definitely rewarded. Happy camper over here.Quote:

don't know the deal...0804 is stable but it seems there is some corruption.
maybe the difference between the 2 is the vnb. 1,44v nb works fine with 2x gx2, 4x1333mhz corsairs and 0804 but the same setting freezes now again with the 1002.
do u thing i should increase the vnb? the rest is @ stock setting

Also, posting NB temps would be great :D

Just one question, did you try CPU and NB Refs on Auto?

I have tryed CPU GTL REFS on AUTO but windows doenst load with that setting on AUTO it keep´s rebooting. So i think that CPU GTL REF is very important when overclocking QUAD´s! :yepp:

M@G!C, I dont understand how can your NB be so cool with such high voltage lol mines is at 60 already with 1.38 lol.
Also, your CPU seems to have nice idle temps. What heatsink are you using?, is it cold on Portugal?

Yes I also heard Diablo heatspreader is really nice. Covered up to 2.1 in warranty and I read on a review 2.2 is still not even warm. Anyways is just safe to leave it running no higher than 1.95 so keep it safe :up:
Yeah! Believe it, these things dont warm up at all !!!Quote:

Slim what do you think of my everest results?
I can run the test at 8-7-6-19 but it makes no diference at all in the results...
In regards to the GTL ref tweaks I've since set them back to auto and all is still good. Not sure that is the issue but rather I do believe PLL, NB, SB, VTT, & VCore all have a serious impact on stability.
Tightened the memory timings back to 7-6-5-18 as well and no more lock ups as previously. Again having the right voltages was key for hitting that sweet spot.
Good job M@G!C, glad you got your machine purring. :up::up:
Safe is always good :up:Quote:

1) Download the lastest version from everest from Here
2) tRC at 45, with such a nice pair, Im pretty sure you should be able to lower this and this will bring a huge improvement so try lowering this in small steps to test and see. (Mines is at 30, but I have 2Gbs and 1600Mhz, just a reference)
3) Read the Anandtech review (google "mucho bang mucho buck") and go to the Memory Timing section Part 2 (advanced timings). There are some that must be left at auto and some that must be changed.
---
I messed with my Advanced Timings and I didnt have to change voltages of anything so Im pretty sure that will make you brake the 12k barrier for sure :up:
Remember tRC is the most important one in the advanced settings.
Good Luck
I agree with Slim, maybe setting TFAW to 29, TRC to 29, TRW to 10 & TRRD to 1 will do the trick according the timings he's using. It helped to boost everest scores by a landslide here.Quote:

Temps..my NB is under water and second in my loop after CPU. Your NB is amazing on air. Love the ram cooler on the NB great idea.
Edit: room air temp right now is 24c.
In fact i have read the Anandtech settings and have tried all that but made no difference at all on my read scores... :(Quote:

You can see from my last post that working on timings does not gave me an improvement on read scores.. And i think that at 1800Mhz running the memory at CAS7 or CAS8 will not give such an improvement on bandwidth ... in the other side if you give an increment on FSB from 1800MHZ to 1850MHZ this will give a big jump on the read scores!Quote:

Also update the Everest with the link I gave you, is always good to be up to date.
I just did the same test, drop to 29 from 36 for TFAW and TRC no noticable diff in scores for me.Quote:

are you linked and sync'd? Looks like your getting good results there in that last shot. Right around where the rest of us are for QX9650 around 4ghz.
something from me :D but its not 100% stabile :(
Some more Striker II Success. I almost fell over when I beat my last score by 14.5K!http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/1...rk03slilu6.jpg
Fusion: What settings are you using for the 9.5 multi? (ie; voltages etc) More importantly are they stable heh.
Awesome score btw, making me tempted even more to get some ugraded GPU love. :up::up::up::D
Same settings you posted for 9.0.... cept I bumped Vcore to 1.5. Its not prime 95 stable for sure, but It passes all the 3d benches. I think its close to being able to post at 10X multi but I need to remount my water block before I dare to try to push for 4.5 GHZ
I kept toying with my core clock and my memory clock, and I ran 105,905. Woo hoo. I couldnt get it to go any farther, kept blue screening with more FSB or more Core clock.
1800 with 4GB @ 7-7-7...nice what type of ram is that?Quote:

And closer to R180...
damn, i just don't know what to do know atm, keep the s2e or switch to my rampage extreme + buying 2 new atis...
1,44vnb wasn't enough for the 1002 (1,44v worked fine with 0804, but had corruption) so i just set it to 1,56 and disabled all spectrums @ bios since i'm sick of playing with the nb voltage atm and it "seems" stable. no freezes yet.
1,56v is quite much to run the 2 9800gx2 and 4x1gb 1333er mem without oc atm.
on the other hand the nb temp is about 38-42°c during load so not that hot at all.
what do u thing? any advice? rly don't know what to do atm...
So you tried 1.44 in BIOS, or 1.44 real voltage?
Because my spot was on 1.44 in BIOS (1.46 real)
Try 1.30VTT, 1.56PLL, 1.55SB. Disable all Spectrums.
What kind of freezes are you getting? Maybe I can help, I used to have a lot of them...
Hi was to give up on this board and buy a Rampage Extreme too, but as last resort i decied to buy a new kit of memory (4GB CSX DIABLO pc3-16000)Quote:

So now i have nothing to complain about and i´m very happy with my settings.
There´s no way i will move to Rampage Extreme now.
What FSB are you runing?
well with 0804:
bios: 1,44v real: 1,46v
at the beginning "auto" on nb worked fine for me with 2x1gb 1333 corsair dhx. but after i upgraded it to 4x1gb i got some freezes. so i raised it to 1,44v and everything was well, except some corruption problems, can't count the amount of vista installations...
but 1,44v seems to be to less for the 1002. so i just gave the nb a kick to 1,56v (real: 1,57v)
atm:
nb 1,56v, all auto except spectrums. @ auto: pll: 1,5v ; vtt: 1,1v ; sb: 1,5v
well what kind of freezes...the screen starts flickering and then the system freezes or it just freezes, think it could be the same kind of freeze like i used to have with nb @ auto and 4x1gb earlier.
running just some poor 1333mhz atm, 12*333 ^^ actually i would prefer 10*400 or 9*450 but at first i have to get rid of theses freezes.
well maybe i already lost the freezes, don't know. 1,56vnb works since yesterday, no issues so far...but well, we all know murphy's laws xD
Maybe because of LLC? Try disabling it?
Any chance sarg can post pics of his bios settings? (ie; voltages, cpu config, mem settings etc) Might help us narrow down the problem a little. Should be using BIOS 901 as well.
Sargatanas can you tell me what Vdimm have you set on BIOS?
i had/have this freezes even with stock clocking, so without llc.
gimme a sec, i'll have a try ^^
If you have freezes even at stock settings, then I recommend you Clear the CMOS.
If problems persist, RMA your board with ASUS and include an explanation of your problems
well not at stock.
2x1gb works with any vnb and bios
4x1gb works with 1,44v & 0804
4x1gb works so far with 1,56v & 1002
so the board should be ok, seems to be a voltage issue.
here some screens:

http://sargatanas.gwebspace.de/s2e/bios6.jpg
I might recommend to upgrade to at least BIOS 901 before we proceed as it's been the most stable for most users. What RAM are you officially using so we can maybe verify the correct timings for whatever speed you want to be at, (ie; Manufacturer & Model #).
i'm using 2 sets of corsair cm3x1024-1333c9dhx with a dominator fan.
sure, i can flash back to 0901 as long i do not have corruption like with 0804.
well but it wasnt stable with 1,44vnb too.
Well with 901 I haven't had any corruption issues so far so you should be ok.
Now lets try some settings at 1333FSB first, (btw anything I don't mention below is left on [Auto] or as is):
AI Overclocker Tuner: Manual
FSB Memory Clock Mode: Linked
FSB Memory Ratio: Synced
FSB QDR: 1333
Memory Timings:
9-9-9-24 is the correct rated timings for those sticks @1333Mhz, but another thing to consider is that for the retail versions of those kits, the timings are to be set at 9-9-9-27. You might want to try the latter settings if 9-9-9-24 still gives you problems.
Command Per Clock: Leave on [Auto] for now
Rest as is.
CPU Config:
All [Disabled] Except for the CPU Core 2, 3, 4 & Thermal Control, leave those [Enabled]
Voltages:
CPU Voltage: [1.25V]
LLC: [Disabled]
PLL: [Auto]
VTT: [Auto]
Memory: [1.68V]
NB: [Auto]
SB: [Auto]
Rest on [Auto]
Spread Spectrum:
All [Disabled]
Try those for now and let us know if it helps.
Cheers.:up:
P.S. If you are still having trouble I might also suggest upgrading your RAM, it really helped with being able to achieve a stable OC here.
Well same prob I used to have earlier. Think NB: [Auto] is just not enough.
Guess it could work if I only use one set of the Corsairs but it's kinda hard to get em out ^^
http://sargatanas.gwebspace.de/PC/mm/3.2.08oben2.jpg
Maybe try it backwards: how much vnb would be ok until I kill the NB?
1,56v @ bios should be quite more than I should need but at least it works so far me (nb @ idle: 36°c load: ~42°c).
So wouldn't it be easier to decrease the vnb step by step until I find the point?
Well which ram shall I take? Don't care for the Manufacturer as long as it is stable and I have 4gb on it.
EDIT:
I just found one german shop where I could get the CSX Diablo 4GB DDR3-2000 kit for 246€. What do u think, shall I give 'em a try?
Max vNB to be safe should be @ 1.60, I wouldn't go any higher than that.
Be sure to try those mem timings too because according to an article retail versions of the same kit is different, (9-9-9-27).
And yes that is ALOT of tubing in there heh, I see what you mean. As far is which manufacturer it's all preference but you can never go wrong with Corsair Dominators, love those kits personally.
Good Luck.:)
I think M@G!C uses those so he might be able to give you a better opinion on how well they perform. For that price it isn't a bad option to consider. I really think the current kit you're using is what's holding you back, possibly a conflict with using them in all 4 slots but I cannot verify that since I haven't tested that scenario for myself.Quote:

well I could try a Corsair 4gb ddr3-2000 kit too, wouldnt matter.
Need some help here guys...I'm trying very hard to get my system stable @ 1800 Linked and synced.
What should I focus on when I get the following from MEMTEST 2.01
Memtest locks-up or freezes within 2 mins..no errors. (more NB or CPU?)
Spits out tons of errors then locks up.
Screen goes nasty with corrupt gfx then locks.
Starts and then goes blank and reboots.
Spits out 1 or 2 errors but completes without freezing.
Completes no errors for a full pass, reboot and try again get an error right away(this is the most success I have had @ 1760)
Oh one other strange thing with my OCZ RAM I have a stable config of 1702 @ 7-7-7-22 If if try to up the timings to say 8-8-8-24 or 9-9-9-28 and test at 1702 I get failures in memtest. Why would higher timings fail, doesn't make sence. I have more memtest sucess keeping mem at 7-7-7-22 but I think it will be impossible to hit 1800 at 7's.
Are you running 1T or 2T? Cause if you are on 1T, then thats your problem.Quote:

With this, your RAM will most probably run at 1333Mhz 1:2 with the CPU and also at 9-9-9-24 2T (as long as they dont have EPP).
Run memtest86 in DOS and also prime for a while to see if you get any error, this will let you know if the NB needs more voltage. If this happens, I would increase the NB voltage to 1.38 and try, if not, 1.42, if not, 1.44. Check again memtest86 and prime.
If this fails, then maybe a ram stick is defective? or could it be a defective RAM port? (rare). Cause seriously I dont think @ 9-9-9-24 2T with 1.44 NB can be unstable...
Also, idk if this helps, but I found out once that my computer would be stable longer time with 1.44vNB than with 1.46vNB. Dont know if it was because of temps or because my NB didnt like higher voltages. (most probably for temps)
I'm running 2t, well it seems that 1002 works better for me.
Have to check the lowest vnb @ weekend since I do not have that much time after work but I know that 1,46v won't be enough.
Guess the problem are the 4 sticks...cause 2 sticks do not need that much vnb.
But I thought I'll test something before I get to work and well not that bad at all ^^
http://sargatanas.gwebspace.de/450mhz.jpg
Rock solid, pc was still benching ^^
All on [auto] except: cpu: 1,45v (rly poor QX sample >.<) nb: 1,56v and all spectrums @ [disabled]
And btw: Which tool shows me the "real" vcore @ windows? Cause CPU-Z reports 1,44v and Everest even 1,5v.
Rly need some serious ram so I ordered a CSX Diablo 4GB DDR3-2000 kit and a Corsair TW3X4G2000C9DF kit
Those are some nice RAM pairs! Let me get the CSX if you end up not using them :D
Well, all I can say for now is to wait for those RAM and test them.
Well I guess it would be cheaper for u to get em at a local store but maybe I would trade em for 2 4870x2 EK blocks :D
On the other hand, I will need some for the Rampage.
just testing:
1002
1,5v (bios and real) with prime for about 1,5h not errors or freezes yet. If it keeps stable I gonna try 1,48v etc
No CSX in USA :( :( :(
No 4870x2 blocks in my house neither lol!
But seriously, I wish I could be in Europe and grab 2 pairs of that memory right now.
Guess importing em isn't that cheap.
Well we can change places for a few shopping days :D
U get some CSX and I get more MM towers ;)
Haha, sometimes I ask myself, how come such great stuff are not available in US, oh well!
When are you getting your memory?
Well there is alot of stuff u won't get at germany too like watercooling parts ^^
Could get the dominators tomorrow, depends how much time I have to get to the local store. The CSX could arrive on friday or monday.
Right now i´m running my QX9650 at 450FSB with a multi of x8.5 giving 3825Mhz. I tried to run a multi of x9 to give 4050Mhz and gave a bump on the vcore but i allways have errors in Prime 95 and allways the same core (core 4) just after a few seconds. Any advices what i can do more?
When you get your Diablos, make sure to post some pictures, I love those memory sticks :D
Are 200Mhz going to make a difference? :rolleyes:Quote:

4Gbs of RAM @ 1800Mhz 8-8-8 + Quad Core @ 450mhz FSB, dont you think your NB is hating you right now? :ROTF:Quote:

:rofl: I dont think so ..... Is only running at 50º !!! :ROTF:Quote:

Will try that...
Anyone knows if PLL voltage is important when overcloking Quads?
I had to bump my vcore up a little, plus PLL up to 1.60 (bios). NB is @ 1.58 but all temps are kosher. Stable baby. SB is bumped to 1.60 as well. Temps good, no freeze, prime95 and OCCT are good, happy days.
im also at 1.6 PLL, that was the trick to get stability for me.
Long time ago 1.56 PLL was the trick for me
Tried that Slim but no sucess....Quote:

I will try play with GTL refs...
Another thing that is driving me crazy, is Nvidia GeForce drivers, wich one should i use to get the most from my 9800GX2?
I currently use 175.19...
currently running the 177.83 on my gx2 quad
175.12 worked the best for me till now
177.83 is what Im using. Is WHQL and comes with PhysX drivers. Havent tested performance yet.Quote:

I´ve instaled 177.83 but physx is not working...
In the physx control panel it says NVIDIA physx processor not installed...
Weird... it should be "GeForce PhysX" with the green dot.
?? Green dot where?Quote:

M@G!C: First post on the top, have a nice lil pic for you there so you can see what it should look like. Page before this one has a link to the newest GPU driver as well, top post.
haaa ...okQuote:

Cool, yes that installed part just refers to if you have an independent physx processor like an ageia card. Should be good to go. Flags move in GRID now, woopie? :)
Glad everything is working now :D
I think i might be able to be stable at FSB 462.5 - 1850Mhz that with a multiplier of 8.5 gives 3931Mhz for the CPU :rolleyes:, this only raising the Vcore to 1,36v in BIOS (1,4V real).
But i´m not to confortable to run my $$$$ QX at 1,4V .... :explode2:
1.40 is my max on 45nm
I try to keep it 1.39-1.40 :)
