Thats wierd, i hear alot about these stories of boards just dying, atleast eVGA has an awsome RMA program.Quote:

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 ?

Im confused. I see everyone using Everest to monitor MCP temps, but all i have that even could possibly resemble the MCP is a sensor called Auxilary. I have the latest downloaded from Everest's webpage, and i have a license code that i've activated. I dont see MCP :(
As far as I know the only Everest versions that are 780i capable are beta builds. I've used 4.20.1257 Beta and now 4.20.1285 Beta. There have been some newer version but I haven't tried them.Quote:

I have read almost the whole of this thread, and being the noob that I am :shrug: , haven't found an actual step by step guide to O/clocking?
The graphics card is self explanatory, although the CPU is not.
All I did was up the FSB in BIOS, I'm guessing there is other stuff I have to do, but all I can get my Q6600 to is 2.61. Any higher and it won't boot.
You guys talk of 3.2 and 3.4 etc. How the hell do you get to those speeds considering this CPU is suposed to be a great o/clocker.
It is the SLACR G0 version.
Any help in a step by step guide would be much appreciated!!!!!
Cibby.
your q6600 should do wayyyyyy more that 2.61....
i suggest you re-read this thread...a few people have posted their bios settings..try to copy them and see what you can do
Thanks, I must have missed the bios settings.
I'll re-read and see how I go.
Cheers.
anybody get decent results with the vdroop pencil mod? i got it to about 105k (closest i could get) and it did zero for my vdroop. i set 1.46v in bios, and its 1.41v measured. and it drops to 1.37v at 100% load. same as before i "modded" it. and yes, i am sure i did it right.
edit also i have been noticing that guys are monitoring their southbridge temps with everest. is there any significance to this temp? i mean does it really matter much if its low or high? as it controls the third pcie slot, the one that is not pcie 2.0, shouldnt high temps only affect guys running tri-sli? and is there any way to monitor spp (northbridge) temps, or is there not an included sensor for this?

Do you get better ocing results if you run the RAM linked???
How are some getting there TRAS down to 8? I have mine set at 15 and couldnt even boot at 12.
What is the max some are getting 24/7 stable with the E8400?
for me it has always been better to run unlinked....cause your ram and cpu can have different limits...Quote:

That's it!! After reading this forum I knew I had a "time bomb". Man... this sucks big time.
I'll get a replacement from EVGA, thank God their cs is awesome, but no more!! Had enough of nvgts crashes, checking MCP temps every day and testing a new driver every week hoping this time I'll get better scaling and a few more points on 3DMark from my SLI setup.
Time to unsubscribe. Good luck guys!! Thanks for all the help and info. Nvidia no more!!!:down:
When i get my board this saturday, i want to get same setting stable i have currently on my X38 mobo
450x8 @ 1.4V
What are the key values ill need to raise on this mobo and to what?
In the bios settings listed above. Why is the SATA Spread Spectrum Disabled? What does the Spread Spectrum do? The default is Down Spread. What does all this mean?
diasbled is better, but you can google it for a more acurate definitionQuote:

I'm really wondering if I should get a 780i board. I've read a lot of horror stories about them, and I have heard that the 780i doesn't OC as well as the X38 (If I don't go 780i I will go X38). What is the maximum stable OC that people have been able to get with a Q6600? (As long as it's 3.4+GHZ average I think I will go 780i)
no probs here, I love mine. Some peeps just expect too much.
I don't expect a ton, just the ability to get 3.6-3.6ghz on a Pentium D 915 or 3.4ghz on a q6600. As long as it overclocks decently, is stable, and supports SLI I'm happy.Quote:
