so can someone clarify, if you use opt for 3 way sli, there will know longer be any more room for any other pci cards ? thanks in advance.

EDIT: actually come to think of it the EVGA does have the nb temps in windows, its the striker2 that doesnt
im on a different pc at the moment but i think even in windows software like everest its under MCP if i remember correctly
someone correct me if im wrong

just did the mod and it seems to be working great. just a few questions. i set 1.3 in the bios and its being reported as 1.28 idle and load. it hasnt budged from that ever even during priming and occt. is that normal, because i noticed that for others it would increase from idle voltage when under load. is that more desirable?
edit: never mind, i take back what i said above. i just set it to 1.3625 in bios at 4ghz and idle voltage was 1.344. now that m running occt its at 1.352
Letting the smoke out is B.A.D. BAD.Quote:

managed to get 4x 1066 1GB EPP modules. so 4GB running 1066 5-5-5-15 with 1.8V fully stable with a revised SPD im workin on...again tRFC was key.
Will try to post pics tomorrow, also posted over at the EVGA forum asking them to add tRFC to bios.
These boards could be some much more if they had all the tweaks for the end user to play with
Pretty sure the Striker 2 has NB temp readouts man, maybe ya everest software or co doesn't support it...Quote:

What's the best bios to use with an E8400 ? I have to redo the heatpipe, temps over 75°C on idle ( lol ) just installed windows added an extra fan that kept temps around 65°C level... but I've seen better here...
your probably right, ive been testing 5 different mb's in the last 2 weeks so i cant keep them straight.. lolQuote:

as for bios i only used the 9650 with that mb so i had to use the new beta bios.. 1001 i believe.. but from what ive read since your using the e8400 dual core you should have alot more luck than i did with quadcore.. atleast for me the strikerII and yorkie quadcore wasnt all that much fun
if anyone's interested, i took the 3x Raptors out of RAID 0 and disconnected power and just left one running and bingo, OCCT stable at 475*8! next step is see if the 3 drives plugged in cause the problem (not enough power) or if putting them in raid causes the problem (mobo is too weak).
Feedback welcome.
Interesting.......
What size is your power supply? More important, how much power can the rails deliver (Amperage)??
how old is your power supply???
Well I rebuild/remounted the heatpipe, get a nice 40°C on the NB... will try the QX9650 later on as I got some SLI loving test to do before I give the board to the client...Quote:

do you mean NB on the 780i? did you put some kind of external sensors on it or something to get the 40C?Quote:

Firstly, Thanks to GAR for his excellent guide.
OK I am wanting to know how to ensure MEDIASHEILD drivers are uninstalled.
ie. I was getting a random nvgts.sys error and yes I have a SATA DVD-RW, even at stock settings.
What I have done in an attempt to uninstall mediasheild is run the setup from original disk (XFX 780i v9.46) and de-selected mediasheild. Installer then said it would uninstall current drivers then install chipset drivers upon reboot.
Upon reboot it did not automatically install the chipset drivers but I was getting 'new hardware found' indicating the chipset drivers were successfully unistalled.
I then proceded to install the chipset drivers from disk minus mediasheild drivers.
Does this method ensure mediashield drivers are NOT present on my system ?
Everest mate, though I must admit room ambient is only 15°C or such :ROTF:Quote:
