Dinos, does the F4F bios have the constant reboot issue?? does it have any vcore issues like others have reported, do you like it more than the F3??

please link them
I believe Guacamole was the one having the vcore issues, but i have a rebooting issue when using 200 base clock. Pretty much what happens is, if i shut my system off, 19x200 3.8ghz fully stable, never crashes, never hangs, but if i completely shut the system down, and start up again, i get the two boots, remember back in the days of the ASUS 965 Deluxe board.Quote:

i will try this with my setup
so if i bench with certain settings past say 200MHz bus, shut down, pull the power cord and then turn it back on i should get this sort of issue every time
we have the same PSUs so it will show for me if it is PSU related :)
gar,
at the bclk you are rebooting, take a look at 3.3v rail reading in bios if its there and make sure its not bouncing around. i threw 2 more hds in my box tonight, and 3.3v began fluctuating heavily for the first time in a while, and yeah basically the whole system became unstable since a lot of input voltages on board use 3.3v supply. i had to switch a few of the modular cables around between connectors and move sata power cables around to fix it. i've had that happen just from setting voltages too high in the past as well, i love my hx1000 but the 3.3v is piss weak and generally reads about 3.18v.
that is interesting
i never had issues with 3.3v with this psu nor HX620 but i did have issues with 900W Seasonic with similar problems GAR is having with X48 board
I got same problems and same psu ,i got one velociraptor, one blu ray burner, mcr355 and 6 fans.
Board get stuck at 68 69 message before restart.
Thinking to it it happen exactly the instant the water pump start rotate, will try change cables slots :)
I have the same and exact behaivor with my I7 setup. It's not a big issue.Quote:

More or less... I could install it, but every time i boot Vista got a Easytune upgrade message. For twice i played with Easytune but once i had a BSOD and i uninstall it and never tryed again.Quote:

My first 920 had the same problem...
19x200 = stable
20x200 = reboot
19x211 = stable
Edit: btw Bios F4F have problems with multi GPU systems.. If you have SLI or CF then donīt use it!
wow weird manQuote:

I'm with bios F3. Tryed 280GTX SLi and worked perfected... What a great performance! :up:
the FIRST thing i suggest you do guys is flash to F4F bios
i found that one easiest to use for bus clocking :up:
report back afterwards :)
No f4f for extreme still, we on wait for the announced on test, f4g :)
About easytune trying get some statistics so far 75% of people on vista 64 cant run it, think only people with old vista upgraded after to sp1 get it running, vista sp1 oem is a sure no go for easytune
oh sorry yeah i'm on UD5
maybe flash to latest beta bios
Just info:
GA-EX58-Extreme/GA-EX58-UD5 BIOS
F4g:
Fix: F12 boot
Bug: AHCI/IDE
F4h
Fix: AHCI/IDE Bug
F4i:
In test,nothing negative
are you saying they use the same bios
No,of course.
It's mean in test is UD5-F4i and Extreme-F4i
I am using 19x200, its 100% stable, like i said, once i get into windows i am rock stable. I have 4HD's installed, it might be a PSU problem i guess.
GA-EX58-UD5 BIOS F4i
what are the changes
i assume this is the UD5 version??
i guess i could always check the email if they sent it through with changelog heheh
UD5 and Extreme,both came out with F4i.Detailed changelog,except posted above I don't have.Check your email and let us know.Quote:

i was trying to make 4.4GHz CPU tests stable on SS last night and i managed a few runs but a lot of them were lockups
my evap temps go down from -44C to -38C or below when they manage to JUST scrape through
that's -44C after the 3D tests ;).......so in game (vantage) drop of almost 15% at with a CPU at 4.4GHz and 1.42v :shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked:
that is just downright :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing ridiculous beyond ridiculous
what the hell is going on here. Is Intel going back to those old Pentium nuclear plant reactors or something :confused:
i was planning to test 4870X2 in Crossfire but it turned out that one card was dead. I didnt even realise as i havent even tested the damn thing but it took me a bit to finally figure out what the hell was going on...at first i thought it was drivers lol
single card with 860/980 and CPU at just under 4.4GHz got just over 18.5K Vantage score. Not too shabby at all :up:
Dinos, you need to watch your amps to know what the single stage can handle.
When watching amps you will see the exact limits of any cooler, this should be used in any professional heatsink review in the future. You are experiencing the amp runaway due to the capacity of the cooler.
