I still think the bios needs work, and looking at all the 980i boards so far (whcihc are good no doubt), it's takeing all the manufacturers time to work out all the knots.
In truth most seem to have been solved, but there's a few still needing work..

Absolutely wonderful...
4.4ghz orthos stable 6 hours...i terminated
Also 4712ghz OC
Well done man that is a great oc, I got my x6800 coming soon. Will test on rd600, maybe striker later if Ineed to buy another, my first one died...
Still a great 24/7 oc. Is there any chance you can stick up an 8 hour blend test run? I found I was having probs on/around the 6 hour mark...

Raja
Ill kick it off tonight...Quote:

NOTE: I use different drives for benchmarking. The high mem timings will corrupt the install pretty quickly if you tighten too much but notice the desktop icons and you will see its still me...
Also heres a superpi at 4.6

Thank you sir...great mobo and still a lot of tweaking to be done :)
hi all,ill be setting mine op this weekend ,wanted to know which controller is best to use for 4x disks in raid 0? nvidias or image sil 3132? nice results there sdumper ;)
The onboard 3132 controller supports the 2x eSATA ports at the back panel. So the fact that its external, and only 2 ports basically answers your question.Quote:

Keep in mind, when loading your OS, (I'm assuming you're using some form of XP), you may have to slipstream the nvidia drivers for it to load properly. I used nLite v1.2.1 found here: http://www.nliteos.com/

ok thanks ,so nvidia it is .slipstream the nvidia drivers .is it not enough with setting the raid drivers from asuses cd on a diskette enough?and install them when installing xp?thats how ive always done it on 975 chipsets .Quote:

With your late bios on the board looks like more are coming through , stock cooling isnt too good on this mobo as you already probably read but if you change to another cooler for nb and sb its quite good , good luck
Anyone tried the 0802 bios? I get horrible vdroop set 1.768 bios for 1.44 (everest)
Hi Vdroop should be less in 0802 , that seems a bit bad !
It isn't the Vdroop that is causing this, the mobo bios has an issue that it locks the Vcore at a certain strap eg I don't Overclock that high (my cpu doesn't like it :( ) so I run 24/7 at 9 x 400 with bios 0802 it hardlocks at 1.37 volts no matter what I put into the bios. if you go higher on FSB it hardlocks at 1.44-45 volts. I reverted back to 0402 bios that one gives some heavy vdroop but at least you can fiddle around with the voltages like you want it !! Read up here

Andy can you post your settings to boot at 500mhz plz, would be fun to compare, my highest yet was around 476 but it wasn't stable enough
Currently testing 8 x 450 ( infact it's 453 Thx Raja had some issues booting up at 1800 strap lol due to the hole) Mem is all still set on auto, survived an 8 hour Orthos prime and now folding for about 12 hours, no issues..., I needed to up the NB voltage to 1.45 otherwise windows wouldn't load, I tried your settings Raja but at 1.4 it's a no boot it locks up at the loading screen. I put a big 120 mm fan blowing over the memory and the Northbridge...

Hi , It would only boot at 500fsb once i had changed the northbridge cooler for an alternative solution , first used swiftech mcx159 and now on mcw30 both worked fine but the water is a bit better. bios nothing special there in the setting but if you want me to but some pics up ill do it later

Hi , this is most of it

Thanks, but how Unlinked mode works? I have not problem, but friends mobo is after Unlinked unstable at any settings ...
Hi , i will try it again later , but i think for me its the same , wow just noticed you got a lot of mobo's
Thx for sahring info Andy, I'm still on 0402 bios as it gives me control over the voltages (although with massive Vdroop) will ahve to wait then for my MC30 to arrive then I wil get rid of this ineffective dreadfull spaghetti junction...
Hope Asus delivers a decent bios 2 in the near future
For some reason, it tends to blue screen for some people when loading the drivers normally during windows installation. You could always try it the normal way first and see if it works for you. If not, slipstreaming will solve the problem. Sorry for the late reply... you might have already done all of this.Quote:

Hi , anyone running nvidia raid array with vista 32 , if so where did you get the drivers , like the make disk ones as for xp. thanks
ive heard you dont need them for vista ,not sure though .dont asus have them on the download section?
Hi yes they do its called RAIDnVIDIA116 but it threw me as i was expecting a make disk application but there is just setup exe ,so i guess your right
I thought Vista wouldn't run on the 680i chipset?
