I'm currently on Vista 64 and I just ran a windows update and it showed new nvidia Sata drivers for me to update. They were released yesterday (May 7). curiosity got the best of me again and I updated them and rebooted. I'll do some testing. Anybody else get this update to show up in their windows update?
Will check windows update drivers. However, I dont think they are in the nvidia site are they?
It might be just it! I have faith in new drivers :)Quote:

Both "old" and "updated".
mind you, this is for the "way above DDR3 2000Mhz" chipset nvidia was hyping... ;)Quote:

cool, thats at least something :)
Ill add it to the first post of this thread
Thanks bro, in the bios i set vcore to 1.425, i get 1.39 idle, and 1.33 loaded in prime 95, also reminder i have the eVGA 790i, not SEII, good luck manQuote:

I have no answer why but IBM drives work now.:up:
so before the driver update the drivers didnt work, now they do?
but initially they worked even without the update, right?
saaya, what happened was I got 2 new IBM drives & tried to install vista 64 4 x times & corruption issues everytime.Quote:

This time I installed IBM drives again with vista 64 & sp1, along with nvidia updates from windows update & no corruption this time at all.
I can't answer if the updates made a difference at all but this time it's working. I never changed any settings thats all I can tell you...
Thats pretty much the news I was waiting for!Quote:

:up:
Evga 790 Vista 64 sp1 maxtor 500gb external HD: was having trouble transfering 30gb+ folders with multiple files/music from the maxtor
after 25gb or so it would just lock up
Did the windows update (optional).......... restart #1 same thing lock up ...restarted in safe....restart #2/3......and problems gone just transfered a 100gb folder no problem
Hope this helps
hmmm so you couldnt even finish the vista install before, right?Quote:

well.. i dont think the drivers fixed the corruption issues then :/
is this the same set of drives you used before?
or a different set of drives?
did you change anything else?
I got my S2E for 2 weeks now : never had any corruption problems running @ stock and clocked to 1600 FSB.
Using 2x 74Gb raptors 16Mo RAID 0 array running on XP SP2 first then vista 64 SP1.
I also test different bios (511 601 603) and never get any corruption problems!
3D stable? And have you set bios or is it all auto.Quote:

Rest on auto.
Also i noticed that the northbridge can become extremly hot, I bet without a 120mm on it this could lead to a lot of troubles.
with SIIEX BIOS 0603 are corruption issues back in my rig ... after some days after updating i have to reinstall OS, games are crashing, rig is freezing (at the same FSB + CPU, MEM setting)
you might be onto somethingQuote:

now the funky part >>> i could could still not actually load windows any higher than 530 >>> but without CPU skew control alternation the board refuses boot even at 535 let alone 580-590
some more testing needed definitely....it could be the answer on Gigabyte Intel boards at least how to push past your average FSB into monster FSB i can do on P5B DLX 965 C2 chipset :shrug:
Ok, i just set that, and i just played 2 rounds of Call of Duty 4 without crashing (a record).Quote:

Can you tell me how in the world you have the IFX on your Striker II?Quote:

Wouldnt that slower the performance?
I noticed no difference in performance, apart from not crashing. About to do some serious tests on it now.Quote:

hmmm did you leave the timings and vtt and gtl ref at auto?Quote:

LDT aka hyper transport multipliers, yes, lower means less bandwidth, but so far there has been no situation in which i noticed lower ldt multipliers degrading performance. i think the bus is fast enough even with 1x and 2x to satisfy all bandwidth needs.
