At best, you'd have to put a 3rd "dummy" link into the middle position and run some tubing between the two ports and I think you'll probably run into space issues trying to do that.

But, if you decide to give it a try, let us know how it goes. I like those SLI Bridges and if you can get it working, it would be prettier than other connections.

I have tried triple bridge on 2x GTX280 and it worked.

You can look at my 2000MHz settings for some reference and comparison if you like.

EDIT: ooops, sorry for double post.

just so you can see the number is above 2000? no performance difference you will notice, but if you do want it I would firt try the x31 multi for your cpu 146x31

There's a good combo using the 163x27 which I was running at first. It was about 4.41 or so with 1960Mhz 3920 Uncore which is very decent ;) i was running it on 1.39 vQPi so you can try that if you like. You may also need to raise PLL to >1.8. You see for daily use Intel max QPIv is 1.4 so you may need to lower the uncore below 2xDRAM to stay under 1.4. Up to you really :cool:

Im begining to give up now tried alot of settings still when i run prime95 instant bsod or one core fails.

mine seems to be one of those thirsty for volts

I can run a 215 with high qpi volts and qpi slow mode with a multi of 21. but its not prime stable. Still working on some voltages I'm gettin further each time.

I've tried running a 222 and 230 no go!

For me there is an incompatibility with the trident gskill ...... over 222 no post and led dram on .My Xeon w3520 whit msix58m and rampage gene 2 starts at 228 bclk and push in win at 235.

My Xeon....:)

Have you tried to run with lower mem freq at the same CPU speed?
And set the uncore to 1,5 of mem freq not auto.

kully i'm yet to see a 980 that cant do 4.2 under Intel Max volt specs so i'm pretty sure yours can unless you really are that unlucky

i woulda liked 4.5 under 1.4 but i wasnt lucky lol needed 1.43v

Well I could just sep it to CPU level up to 4.2ghz and let the bios do my settings and see where we go from there .

What's the highest vcore these babies can take safely?

water i'd say under 1.5 v
intels says 1.4v is safe:rolleyes:

Hi Guys,
Doing a new setup now, I have read on the forum that most of you guys are cleaning of the TIM from your motherboards and changing it out for another. My question is would you guys do this first or fire up the board check your temps, then maybe change if needed?
Thanks!

Linpack stable at 219, but graphics become lagging in bios & windows at 220+.
Also, for 220+, gpu<->host bandwidth test fails, and 2D graphics corruption is observed.
Really weird problem, which I never had on UT/UD7.

For bclk 220-222, CPU seems bench stable. 222+ blck not tested yet.

Tried:
vcore/vtt +0.1v,
ioh/ich pcie/ich/ioh pcie +5 notch,
cpu/ioh clock skew 0-400ps,
pcie 100-104,
And none of these helped.

What's the best bios for the 980x right now? I saw the 704 beta, any good for the 980x?

gonna run a memtest on memory see if any errors will leave it running for about 6 hours at least then we can rule that out.
06-16-2010, 10:38 PM
kill_a_wat

yeh may be a good idea to test individually and take it from there

btw have you tried just raising the cpu multi from 133 bclk?

Thanks!

The 800D has limited air flow unless you've added extra fans, I think it would be a good idea to run at stock to make sure the board is good, then try a mild o/c just to see if you have any obvoius nb temp issues.

the stock tim on the heat pipe assembly is really strange stuff and so many ppl have temp issues, I would change it for better quality compound.

In my case I just went ahaead and fitted the EKFB RE3 right of the bat.
good luck m8

thinking of getting this board but need to ask a few questions before i dip in

http://www.overclock3d.net/gfx/artic...123202322l.JPG

is this all the mem options it has?
if more can somebody post a screenshot all of it
and the rtl is it still +,,-??
or u can set it now??
