Anybody knows when the DFI and Foxconn will release their 790i boards?
I am pretty sure the S2E has 4 high bandwidth slots, not just 2.Quote:

I think the issues of the x-fi w/4 gig were long ago resolved...
NVIDIA was made aware of a possible corruption issue reported by Anandtech. NVIDIA has been in contact with Anandtech and is aggressively pursuing any possible causes including extreme FSB overclocking along with certain types of high speed memory. According to all data collected thus far this appears to be a highly isolated issue. This article will be updated as needed if any issues are isolated.

You're going to have trouble on any board when you overclock 4 sticks of ram to 2000 mhz. I know the striker 2 extreme's slots are all 4 high bandwidth (meaning all 4 can do ddr3 2000). Whether you wanna call their bluff or not is up to you. It seems nvidia's product specifications are statements that are meant to be challenged to see if they're bluffing.Quote:

I know thats a challenge, but I just want to know what can I expect if I buy 2 more sticks (4 in total).Quote:

No, it will require just the SPD/EPP values. It's the stress on the controller and if it can handle that speed for all 4 sticks. With a striker I bet it'll be okay because this thing is tough (It's 100 more for a reason, not just a "rebadge") as nails. You shouldn't even bother with 2000 mhz stuff anyways man because it's just massively overclocked 1333 with compromised Latencies.
I know, Im not buying 2000Mhz memories, is just that I might want to try to OC them to those speeds just to test them :P
You'll be able to hit them, very likely. Just don't expect prime stability lol.
Oh well -.-"
Hey man, you push hardware THAT hard sometimes you ask for it. Personally I think the striker extreme is a tough mother:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::ban ana:, and it probably will work because DDR3 uses low volts.
Well yeah my goal is to have my 1600Mhz RAM to run at 1800 since I will have my FSB at 450Mhz (hopefully), but might want to try how it feels to run it at 2000mhz :D
OK Guys(and gals), I am getting somewhere here. I found out that my Qx9650 can do 4GHZ @ 1.344V(1.375 BIOS with LLC) vcore. The stability problems that I was having(With the system lockup) seems to be RAM related. I am currently running RAM @ 1780 1:2 @2.04V. Passed prime for about an hour now.

I also tried 410x10, but it required 1.408V(1.425V BIOS with LLC) vcore.

@GAR, try 2.04V for your RAM. It could be your RAM or it could be because of the PCIE overclocking, try lowering your PCIE frequency(I believe it was @ 125).
ALso, I don't understand how the tjunction could be greater than core temps. I think everest is reading it wrong or soemthing.
Once I am done priming, I intend to run 3dmark06 in a loop for testing
3D stability. I will post back the results.
The thread has been inactive in the last 2 days. Did everybody give up their boards already? :P
Nope.
But I'm doing some stuff that need to be done in a day or two :D
Hey bro, my pci-e was at 100 when i got the problems, also i lowered my ram frequency for now just to keep the system stable, well see what happens with the next bios release, i hope memory problems get sorted out.Quote:

Have you guys read about the upcoming 790i FTW? Sounds promising...
highly isolated issue... sure...Quote:

Broly, it IS possible to get 500fsb+ and 2000mem speed+ stable on 790, it just doesnt work on all boards and seems to be very tricky to tweak, while on x48 its easier. after all nvidia advertises the 790 as THE enthusiast chipset which can reach higher fsb and mem speeds than other chipsets... but all the sudden it turns out most of the chipsets actually oc worse than intel chipsets, and even the best ones nvidia can churn out are at best, as good as intel x48 chipsets or maybe slightly better, depending on the clock speeds your running.
and now nvidia is saying its an isolated issue with extreme overclocking?
doesnt nvidia say 790 officially supports ddr3 2000?
that was the main selling/marketing point from what i remember...
so now officially the max is 1333fsb with 1333 mem and 1600fsb with 1600 mem is already extreme overclocking?
Highly agreed with you saaya.Quote:
