I figured someone would be posting up some big numbers with this MB by now? Is everyone too busy or is there a problem with the MB? I've seen a few result at lower clocks but that's about it. Maybe the results are posted some place else and I haven't found them yet?:shrug:

Getting mine later today. Will post back after she is assembled. Newegg was the first to have up for purchase so they got my money. Today is going to be a long day of class. :brick: :zombie: :brick:
After the OC3D Review & Video I'm feeling about as confident in this board as I am keeping solid foods down at the moment.
I hate being sick
Ok I got it but there is one goof up I notice in the manual. 1. Old version of the manual E5987 2. Item 4 on the layout components it lists LGA1366 CPU socket in the table. Other than that I need to stop drooling over this thing.
I have the CH4E which was shipped with the 243 bios now where do I get the newer bios? Just in case the 243 doesn't work out.:D

After installation of the Board drivers windows acts funny and crashes so I have a feeling that my driver disk I was sent is bad and am going to pull the drivers from ASUS directly. I really hope it isnt a problem with the board.
Thanks MacClipper.:up::)Quote:

Might be worth a read if you haven't yet
Im still in the process of installing software and haven't gotten to adobe yet. I only just got windows to work after installing the Hydra driver.
So let me see if I got this right. If I wanted to run w/ three GTX460's I would want to use slot 1,4,5?Quote:
Originally Posted by MacClipper

I have tried slots 1, 2 and 4 without issue, runs at x16 modes for all 3 cards - has better spacing this way too.
Slots 1, 2 and 4 is what the manual suggests also.
Well then I may have to buy my first AMD system in a very long time and try some 3-4 way GTX460 action. With the layout of this board I could fit 4 videocards, my ioXtreme, and my soundcard no problem. I don't suppose anyone has tried a GTX460 1GB + a GTX460 768MB together?
I ran a few tests this afternoon more of a shakedown than anything else. The system appears to be alright so far. I didn’t really hammer anything but I did want to clock the processor up a little so I tested under chilled water to save some time.
I guess I should have researched this systems combination a little more before I bought it? I remember reading somewhere a while back about the HydraLogix and dual GPU graphics cards not working together or at least something to that effect. I don’t remember in what combination of installed GFX cards that applied to at that time but I must have forgotten all about it?
Fast forward to today and my first test which I had planned as a mixed GFX card Vantage test. I installed my Asus 5970 into slot one and two Evga GTX 260’s in slots two and four. When I started Vantage I was greeted with the message “Hydralogix does not work in crossfire mode” (the 5970’s two GPU’s being internally crossfired). I removed the 5970 and installed a 5870 which allowed Vantage to run. I didn’t try the 5970 in slot 2 which may allow it to work with the HydraLogix controller in the X mode for all I know, maybe tomorrow.
I’m not stating in any way that the Crosshair IV Extreme with the HydraLogix controller is a bad product. I’m simply saying that using the GFX card configuration stated above that my 5970 would not work with HydraLogix controller. What I did notice though was that during the graphic test in Vantage the FPS would drop dramatically and at times the image on the screen would stop for the better part of a second before speeding back up.
Oh well the shakedown test results are below. Each test was on run once. The GFX cards are at default clocks.

Hey Oltimer, Show off, :p: nice runs with the mixed setup. should have tried cinebench OpenGL test.
Ill do some benching later today. My CPU is at 3.64GHz because my memory does not want to clock. But Mac with the FSB have you noticed at all on the Original bios that the FSB will weirdly be set .9 above what its suppose to be? Say I set 260FSB in bios but in CPUZ I get 260.9 returned, so I tried it with 259 and I got 259.9 returned. Also when will asus release a new bios for the board?
Oldtimer during my preliminary testing I got the same stuttering where the fps would drop to 1 but it would go right back up to 80+FPS right after.

Dual core graphic cards not being support by the Hydra chip should be in both the owner's manual and the release notes from Lucid.Quote:

If so, i have been waiting all this time and now we find this out, im better of getting the latest gigabyte board at least i know my card will run great.
Also when will the next generation of mobos come out eg 990fx + new AMD chips, as i might skip this generation since they say from 790fx to 890fx is not much of jump or improvement.
What do you all think ?
You should be able to use them in slots 1 and 3 but not the other slots as Hydra does not support the dual GPU cards. Expect the 900 chipsets at the same time the Zambezi's become available.
native X fire works, hydra does not with X2 gpu's.Quote:

phew that was a close call. i will become a asus member once again, cant wait.
I think someone on here said the price point for the uk for the extreme is £290, if this is correct to me thats just ripping people off, fair dues the board seems really good but i bet you then next gen boards from all companies will all be doing this multi gpu support and most probably improving the technology as well.
I dont see the 990fx boards from all manufactures selling at that ridiculous price ?
Hello,
I have some questions about this motherboard and hope good answers.
1.) The Asus memory list is not really long and did anybody try any tests with another memories like Corsair Dominator or OCZ (more than 6 GB)?
2.) Blue tooth can be switched off in the Bios? I don't like any access possibilities from outside.
3.) How is the overclock chance with more than 6 GB memory?
I want to buy this motherboard for a good and stable overclock.
My wish components:
1090T
Crosshair 4
Corsair XMS3 Dominator 8GB (4x2GB) CL8-8-8-24
Any SSD from Intel (Postville G2)
GFX will be a ATI or Nvidia (it depends from the experience with the overclock)
PSU will be a OCZ (~800W - 1000W)
What do you mean about this?
Thanks in advanche
8 gig is more cpu dependant than the mobo........the mobo can do it fine if the cpu you get is up to snuff.Quote:

Once again OCability with 8 gig relies on cpu more than the mobo........if the cpu has a strong IMC than it will be fine.
And the 1090T should work with 8 gig no? Or it's just a luck/bad luck to get a CPU with the right IMC, which can be good for an OC?
Do you have any good cpu steppings for this?
I am sure, that nobody did test it with those Corsair memories. Asus doesn't have those brands in their list, so I "will" get any troubles with them.
I would opt for some PSC based ram, seem to be a tad more forgiving. I think gtx 3 is psc based.Quote:
Originally Posted by GNU

Hmh, it seems, that I will need enough luck to get the right components for this.
For the Dual Channel mode. I will better use 2x4 GB instead 4x2 but I need a guaranteee for the memories, which are compatible with the ASUS. I will ask Corsair about this and share the information here.
I have one question for BIOS settings in CH4.
What is this voltage/frequency ?
CPU PWR Frequency
GSKill Trident PC3-12800 works flawlessly in 2x2GB mode. Runs at 1600 or 2000MHz juuuust fine. My CPU hates 4x2GB though... I just can't overclock it too much or it won't handle them.Quote:

Wow 5G cpu-nb benchable! Congrats on that namegt! Any more benches at 5G cpu-nb to show?
Anyone had issues getting dual channel to post? Stuck on the dram diagnostic led.. Single channel works fine.
Tried a C3 965 + 1090, and two pairs of RAM, one of them is on the QVL. Same issue with bios 0243 and 0402.. :shrug:
Am I missing something? :confused:
What's wrong with Asus ?!
It sounds discouraging, but the fact is this board with 0243 bios has the same bouncing problem of volt./HT/CPU Freq. as C4F....WTF :shakes:
As a customer, I expected a lot more from a HKD2,800 board !!!
We got best HT results with Hyper rams... some issues on our sample with the Gskill Flare kit and the 1200 ram divider...Quote:

With my Sempron I couldn't get the 1200 divider to work, with PJ's CPU seems to be no biggie... though we only had 0243 bios...
What's very impressive with this board is the high HT clocks and ram speeds ( similar to the 890FXUD5 )
I tried installing they Hydralogix driver 1.7.102 that was released on monday and it will not install. The driver gets to the point of restarting after uninstalling the old driver but when you restart the system becomes unstable because the system doesnt have a driver for PCI device 27 (Hydra 200). When you go to install the 1.7.101 or 1.7.102 drivers they will get to preparing to install and fail because they cant find any hydra hardware. 1.6.109 works just fine and is the only driver I have that works. 1.7.101 worked before but will no longer work. There is something Lucid changed in the installation system from 1.6 to 1.7.10X. Anyone else have problems installing the drivers.
Troubleshooting History:
Tried installing inside windows ---- Failed
Tried installing in safe mode ------ Failed
Reinstalled the 260.89 driver ----- Failed
uninstalled 1.6.1 driver manually -- Failed
I haven't had any problems with 1.7.102. Using 460s in slots 1 and 4 with 260.99 drivers. Win7 64Bit.
Well the first time the 1.7.101 installed perfectly fine but now it does the same thing as the 102 and its really frustrating me that just the 1.6.109 works without any hitches.
The error is:
Installation aborted
___No Hydralogix hardware detected
NOTE: Praz slot one is not connected to hydra.
The only issue I have had with drivers involved ATI. For whatever reason the drivers quit seeing the 5870. The only fix I found was a reinstall of Win7. According to Asus and the manual slots 1 and 4 should be used for a dual card Lucid setup. Benchmarks seem to agree with this.
AVP single 460 - 40.5 Average FPS
AVP dual 460 - 75.4 Average FPS
Do you have any hitches installing the driver as in after the restart? Mine after the restart it the windows will begin to freeze and sometimes it wont even get to logging in before it freezes. If Mac or chew could chime in.
No, not any issue at all. The following method is what I have been using since before the board was released whenever I change the configuration. Uninstall the Lucid driver. Reboot and uninstall the video drivers. If using both nVidia and ATI I reboot in between uninstalling the two. Boot into Safe mode and run Driver Sweeper. Reboot and install the video driver. An additional reboot and install if using both nVidia and ATI. Reboot again and install the Lucid driver.
Using this method I have benched the following configurations without issue with 10 games and 3dMark06/Vantage over the last couple of days:
Single 5870
Single 460
Dual 460s
Single 460 and 5870 together
I am currently benching hacked SLI with the 460s.
That would work except I have no stability in windows without the Hydra driver. This is just really annoying me and im going to take a break from updating for a bit till the new driver comes out to support Black Ops.
Chew*, Mac or any of the other users experience anything like what im describing or should i just need to reinstall windows?
I would think a reinstall of Windows would get rid of the issues you are having. Video cards in slots PCIex16_1 and PCIex16_4 installing the 260.99 drivers and then the 1.7.102 Lucid driver.
Now should I use the chipset driver that is on the disc that came with the mobo or should I get the files from asus' dowloader?
I've been using all the drivers from the disk that came with the board. If there is an option of installing the USB Filter Driver don't install that.
Anyone know if there's any waterblocks available for this? I don't think any of the Formula blocks will fit the extreme.

It didn't seem that bad during the limited time I had to test it..Quote:

No, they don't have any waterblocks for the Extreme design. I asked them 1 week ago and they said, that's not available, because the demand factos is too low.Quote:
