Nice finding. :up: Try different CPU PLL voltages, you might be surprised with the difference in stability. ;)Quote:

Does anyone know if it's possible to run the SATA 6 controller in RAID while using a RevoDrive X2 with the 1207 bios?
Ok just checked out the Sync Mode feature with bios 1207. Asus has changed things up a bit. Surprised it wasn't mentioned in the changelog..Quote:

TurboV Evo has a new feature now that I have not seen before. Did you guys ever have a 'Save to BIOS' button? It seems as if due to the problems in the past with hardware failure using TurboV Evo, Asus has seperated the Sync Mode to just Windows or to the BIOS.
TurboV Evo reads all my manually set voltage settings properly. And if I change any voltage and hit 'apply' it works. Confirmed with CPU-Z. But hitting 'Apply' only changes it in windows. If you restart, BIOS will still have previous voltage settings. If you click 'Save to BIOS', then the voltage changes in Windows AND the BIOS. I confirmed this by raising VCore and saving to bios, then re-entering the BIOS to see if it changed. It did
P.S. Also ICH PCIE and IOH PCIE voltage show as 1.51106v in TurboVEvo. That is the lowest setting.
Thanks mate for detailed test and explanation! :up:Quote:

Does 0003 have this feature? I haven't gotten the opportunity to flash to it yet.

Has anyone else noticed that with 12gb ram you get way higher temps on your cpu with Linx if you test with 8GB instead of ALL memory?
Also way higher GFlops with 8GB instead of all.
Just when I thought I was about to hit the home stretch, I noticed this....

Yep, the molex connector is blocked by the MB tray brace. Once again, take it apart, mod and repaint! :mad:
This MB has 2-8 pins and 2-4 pins and of course the 24 pin. Really, how much power does this MB need?
Looking for Donmarkoni............
You only need the 4 pin connectors if you are running triple or quad SLI.Quote:

No problem. I'm running 2x 560's in SLI without the 4 pin connectors. It's to make sure that you don't burn the atx24 pin if there is high load. If you're worried, you can plug one in. You don't need to have both for sure.Quote:

@ Donkarkoni and anyone else that could help?
I bought a 980x from ebay, 2nd hand - DOA. The seller and I communicated, and I decided to do an RMA here in Australia, since he had posted the HSF etc.
Today, a BRAND NEW 980x turned up, and it's currently running in my system.
My problem is - I'm only getting 4GB of my 6GB Gskill Tridents. I've tried a ton of variations in BIOS settings, default, different RAM speeds/voltages/everything I can think of.
Still - all my system sees and can use is dual channel 4GB.
What has happened to the other 2GB? I put my old i7 930 back in, to see if I had somehow damaged a stick in the CPU swap over - and voila - I'm seeing 6GB again.
Then, put the 980x in, and bam ... 4GB. It's frustrating as hell.
If anyone can help, I'm at my wits end ..... /beg
Oh dear, sounds like you have a similar issue to me with my Trident 2000C9's/Corsair 2000C8's. Seems there is really weird CPU/Ram interactions with this board.
My tridents drop a channel and/or cold boot with my 920 and W3570, and my Corsair 2000C8 kit just has cold boot issues with both my CPU's, but with the 950 at the shop I took it back to get tested at, the kits are both fine. Details of my issue are scattered over the last few pages here. Essentially with either kit, if I just run 2 sticks, I have no issues at all. It's just when I drop in that 3rd stick that all hell breaks loose.
There are reports of people not being able to POST with a certain ram kit and a bloomfield, then they changed to a Gulftown and bam, POST and stable.
May be worth trying different BIOS if you haven't already. Check you CPU socket pincs, CPU pads and ram slots and ram contacts too just to be sure it's not something simple.
If you figure it out let me know!
I'm just about to flash the new bios 1207 ... it's really frustrating to hear you have this problem too - with no possible solution. I really need that 3rd channel; I've moved from a 930 to a 980 ... and I'm running 3 x 580's - if I hand wanted a dual channel board I'd have switched to Sandy.Quote:

/stressed
no I believe Cryptik is having problems with both his bloomfield cpu's so it is not isolated to gulftown. I would drop a channel whenever my oc was unstable but to be getting this all the time is ridiculous:shakes:Quote:

Other guys cant restart without a full power off, I can only restart if I don't power off the PSU or wall socket! This board seems really picky about what you can and can't combine on it from what I can see. Some people get lucky.
You can try a ram kit that is on the QVL and see how you go. However I don't think its a guarantee it will work as you'll notice the GSkill Tridents are on there, but only certain Trident variants in 3x2GB, others are 2x2GB kits but the QVL says it can handle 3 dimms (which it can't it seems, as mine has issues with them too).
As sugegsted try adjusting RTL's, and maybe try BIOS 00003 or whatever Shamino posted, and set the tRL's a bit looser.
I noticed the molex 4 pin connectors help give stable power to your cards too, even if you're running just one high powered one.Quote:

I'm tempted to just pick up a different brand of RAM and sell on these Tridents. They work flawlessly with the 930.
I'll try some different settings, but I've already set a variety of QPI's and other RAM setting,s and am now using BIOS 1207. All to no avail.
Would 0003 be any different?
I think 0003 is 1207 but with tRL option added for each channel. tRL being too tight (or set wrong) can cause channels to be dropped.
I think our issues are similar in that its not a CPU alone issue, it's not a ram alone issue and its not a board alone issue. Combine all three though and there's a problem.
I'm assuming this issue is happening at stock speeds?Quote:

Try dropping in your other cpu copy down all the timings with your basic x-x-x-x xt manually coded. then use those timing with your 980 and see if that helps. My 980 does wonky stuff like that during overclocking with different uclk speeds.
another thing to try... are you running 1.5x memory spd uclk? or 2x memory spd uclk? if your running 2x back it down to 1.5x see if that helps.
Yep, this is happening at stock speeds. I have also tried both 1.5x and 2x uclk; no luck.Quote:

I've also tried some other DDR3 from another machine in Channel A. Only B and C are recognizable.
However, A is discoverable and works fine when I use my old CPU.
What's the chance that the 980x Intel sent me for an RMA is damaged? I guess the only way to really work this out is to drop the 980x into another 1366 board and test; unfortunately I don't know anyone else around here (rural area) with a 1366 board.
I can't think of anything else I should do - the 980x just does not want to run channel A. I've reseated it twice, and can't discern any problems with the pins etc.
Could the R3E be the problem? But if so, why isn't it the problem when using a 930? Gah.
you lost channel A on the cpu
a had a 920 that lost channel B
no matter what ram i put on that channel ....
you gonna have to rma the cpu

Woooooo!
i still can't seem to get past the 4.5 mark on my 980x...
just curious though... does anyone seem to have issues with clocks between 4.5 and 4.599 but yet do fine with 4.6+?
i ask because i can run 4.4 perfectly stable it seems and barely scratch at 80*c for full load temps with about 1.40625v and about 1.3125v qpi. as soon as i go to 4.500.5 (this being the bare minimal mark) vCore wants to be like 1.46-1.47v and temps sky rocket WAY out of ratio for only 100mhz...
EDIT: also, it seems if my QPI voltage goes any higher than about 1.33, my system refuses to save that setting on startup and doesn't show a display at all... just black screen (no signal). funny part is, i thought that maybe it was due to IOH needing voltage or increased pcie to like 103-105 range... but it's not an issue of posting. it still starts up and goes to windows without the displace like it's not intializing video bios...
hello, I have one question
I have also Asus R3E, I want to buy a sound card X-fi Titanium HD and graphics card Asus 570gtx DirectCU II
The question is: Will the video card very warm sound card?
Video card will have a very big temperature they do not have good space for exhausting air?
sorry for my English
So many posts in one day... A lot to catch up. :D
Yes, 0003 doesn't have Sync Mode any more, so it's probably same as 1207.Quote:

Hello guys I'm scratching my head here, I've just switched from the R2E to R3E and I've got a little problem. I had one 5970 and two 5870 running on my R2E but after the switch CCC only detects the 5970 in the first pcie-slot but sees one of the 5870's and says its not propurly connected with a cfx bridge, device manager also only sees one of the 5870's. Now for the tricky part they are all watercooled and not so easy to swap around and I suspect that either pcie-slot2 are dead or the card is dead and the 5870 in slot 3 is alive but not connected directly to the 5970 so cfx is not working.
How do I test this?
I've connected both of the extra power connectors and swapped the pcie powercables around.

Hey Don, it's ok. I'm surprised it was a seating issue, it's not like I don't know how to align a processor in the socket. I think the tension was too high on my waterblock - and I've read that it can have a negative affect on a CPU being able to run all RAM channels. I suppose the tension screws with some pin alignments?Quote:

I've got 4.45 rock solid, still fiddling around to get the 4.5 - 4.6 good. But, it's my first day with the 980x.
I have to thank Intel also. I bought a second-hand 980 CPU from Ebay, only to find it dead on arrival. I contacted Intel here, and did an RMA. Total turnaround for the RMA was about 1 week.
I later discover that the seller had done a cold run (LN2) for 30 minutes .... on the CPU I bought from him .... lol.
Anyway; I don't have any hard feelings against the seller, he was helpful and willing to refund me.
Just good to see the professionalism of Intel, and that they are willing to support their high end products.
Toritechie - if you get 4.5-4.6 going decently, could you post your settings for it? i can't seem to get my 980 to go over 4.4 for the life of me. i've tried countless BIOS and a good number of different bclk's and multipliers and hours of voltage play. no matter what i do, i can't seem to get 4.5+ without BSOD'ing.
Skuldarin if your CPU needs ~1.31v for 4GHz stable your chances of 4.5GHz stable at sane vcore are slim to none IMO. Max VID on 32nm 980X is 1.375v and abs max is 1.40v so be careful when pushing for 4.5.
Oh god, read please !

actually, 1.3125 vCore was just to get 4ghz to pass in LinX, it runs perfectly stable at 1.28 rather easily.Quote:

guys, do the new bios has new features on the fan control?! i've discovered that... the cpu fan, either i set it on manual silent or turbo duty mode, or what ever the cpu fan speed is always at 2000rpm, (the max fan speed) should work like that, other fans does not behave like that, all fans are the same, cm 2000rpm led blue / red, so what's wrong?! is fan connected on the cpu failing, or what?! ... this is just one of the strange behavior i've been whatching from 2 weeks till now!! need some help ...
Thanks will have to give 0003 a try after 1207. I also can't get past 4.46GHz :(Quote:

4GHz requires 1.28v and 4.4GHz takes 1.39v say...interesting vcore scaling. That's 0.0275v per 100MHz which is less than usual from my experience. Sure thats comparing fully stable 4GHz to fully stable 4.4GHz?Quote:

ya fully stable, 4ghz and 4.4ghz running stable at 50 passes in LinX with full memory at 1866 w/ CL7 timings (7-9-7-24-72-2T / 58-59-60 RTL) with 6 sticks at 12gb. i've tried going to 1T but the voltages required for that is far beyond what i'd allow (i've gone to 1.82v and still doesn't see more than 10gb, that includes increasing CL and RTL times to be obscenely slopy).Quote:

i will test my sister tower (same exact build as this one that i built for my father) and see if it's 980 is any better. if it is... i might just do an old switch-a-rooo as the old man will never need more than 4ghz for his setup.
gosh :( the cpu fan is a normal 3 pins fan ..... so must buy a pwm fan :shakes:Quote:

Prime95 1hour | 4GHz @ 1.171v
http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/w...1hourprime.jpg
I'm stuck at 200bclk. :(
I can never fully stabilize at anything above.
Current settings:
4210MHz
Mult:21
BCLK: 200
PCI: 100
CPU Config: all disabled, except HT and ALL cores enabled.
vCore: 1.3750
vTT: 1.33750
CPU PLL: 1.2
vIOH: 1.20v
vICH: 1.16v
vDDR: 1.65625v
DDR: 2000MHz 3x4GB 9-9-9-25-110-1T
With the above settings I'm fully 100% LinX stable with both ALL mem and 8GB mem. Running 8GB results in 10C higher temps during LinX runs than ALL mem does.
If I even go up one mhz to 201BCLK, it seems no matter what I do, I can not get stability. Linx will stop on error after the 2nd loop almost every time.
*sigh*
I was able to boot at 25x180 with 1207 bios tho. That was not possible with any bios before for me.
guys listen
got beta bios 1301 today with following fixes
Updated SB RAID Option ROM to v10.1.0.1008
stay tuned for next official bios update with these fixes
can you share the new bios 1301 please

I keep getting Cpu Led. The computer won't post. I check for extra standoffs. That's not the problem.
Is it possible that that light keeps coming on because I don't have the cpu fan hooked up. The cpu, mobo and the graphics card are all water cooled. I did take the cpu waterblock off the and put my finger on the cpu. It's not getting warm?? What do you think. I also tried re-seating the cpu. No good.
Any ideas would be gr8!!:confused:
Thanks
I had this problem some time ago, the PC will not post and the CPU LED was lit ...Quote:

Quite honestly, I hope it's the cpu because the mobo is watercooled and I don't think Asus will honor their warrantee!!! I am hoping for a few more positive suggestions that may lead to a quicker solution. I will change out the cpu tomorrow and post back if that is indeed the problem. But please drop whatever thoughts you might have!!!!
And Thanks.
Did you check for a bent pin in the lga socket? Is you block applying too much pressure on the cpu socket? Why wouldn't they warranty the board? All you did was put blocks on the board. And i'm not sure if you did the nb/sb also though. But what reason are you thinking they will not warranty the board?
I just got my R3E back from ASUS.
And was able to achieve 4.3ghz @ 1.25vcore with my I7 970.
Not going any higher due to stock cooler.
When my WC System is ready I'll try to push 4.5. :D
4.3GHz @ 1.25v - very nice especially on the stock cooler, that Prime95 / LinX stable for couple of hours?
Fire4Wire - Also interested in the new BIOS, along with the new firmware, does it still have the tRL settings like BIOS 0003? I certainly hope so.
so i swaped 980's with the sister tower, here's hoping for better voltages.
UPDATE:
yep... the other 980 is a voltage hungry baddy
980x # 3013A489 = bad
980x # 3013A540 = good
previously at this speed (4.27ghz) with the 489, core voltage needed to be about 1.34-ish to be realitively stable. now at again 4.27ghz the 540 is sitting realitively stable at 1.28v.
the only thing i have concerns about is the core temps...
reading off of RealTemp GT, from left to right, core 2 and core 6 seem to be between 7 and 10*c hotter than the rest... and it's not just this specific cpu, the 489 had the same thing. i've reseated a good dozen times with the same results, is this normal? or could it be due to the water block (koolance 360)?
So your fathers was better or was yours? Either way 4.27GHz @ 1.28v is pretty nice :up:
Temps on Gulftowns are terrible, all over the place. I use RealTemp and calibrate them to the same temp under load and idle. I take about 80% of the hottest core, set it, then standardize the remaining cores to that point. I do the same with the idle temps.

haha, the old man's core was better, so i'm stickin with the swap out. he'll never need more than 4ghz at the most for the next 4-6 years... if he does he'll just have me build him a new system again.
i'm testing this one now with 4.5.
so far it's already much more stable at 4.5 than the previous core. i'm still having to increase voltage just a tad, but i'm at 1.38125v as i type... stable enough to do most things, haven't tried games yet and it's passing 10 rounds of LinX with 1024mb mem supplied rather nicely at roughly 78gFlops average. gonna do full mem test in a bit and go from there. i don't think i'll need any more than about 1.41-1.42v at the very most.
Did some IMC testing real quick just now......doesn't seem too bad :D

Nice one, but 88*C is kinda toasty. Keep an eye on those load temps when you game/encode etc it could get up there.
Just a note I have found that Prime95 stresses the Gulftowns more, and what will just pass LinX won't pass Prime, and with prime it pulls the vcore down that little bit more. Eva2000 logged the power draw at 10% higher with Prime than LinX with the Gulfies (whereas bloomfields were the opposite, pulling 10% more power running LinX than Prime).
Hey Killer K:
I didn't check for a bent pin, but I will shortly. I don't know if I was applying too much pressure to the cpu. How would I know that?? The block is off now. Also, it's an EK block and it wasn't tightened up all the way.(a little past 3/4's)
As for the warrantee, I really don't know? Will Asus cover a mobo that I took there air-tube cooler design off and replaced it with an EK water block?? What do you think?
Thanks
Should be fine warranty wise, so long as the board is otherwise undamaged. Would help if you still had the stock thermal paste on the stock heatsink. Just clean off the stuff you applied, shape the stuff left on the heatsink to where it would touch the chips and attach it. They could remove it and inspect it, but with QC the way it seems to be they probably cant guarantee what the assemblers use. I had what looked like grass bits stuck to the thermal pad of the first R3E I had and it looked like a 3 year old cut the thermal pad with some safety scissors - I posted a pic a few pages back.
Hey Cryptik:
That's good to know. I have everything still so that's no problem. I can clean it off and make it look as good as new. This evening, I am going to change out the cpu with one that is currently working. If that doesn't work, I guess it's the mobo. That will suck, because I have been working on this project for a few months already. Cutting out and putting all the freaking little peices of themal paste that came with the mobo cooler was a major PIA!!! Not to mention, now I have to contact EK and have them ship more. I was just hoping it would all come together... what a pipe dream!!!
Thanks
if you put it back together nicely..chances are they wont even notice its been apart....they would have a cheek to not rma it for you even if they did its an over-clockers board what do they think your going to do with it?Quote:

well i left the tower running all night with a bunch of automated programs including a couple games going on at once that had TONS of AI going and whatnot and it's still here kickin and screamin' :)
oh and 88*c was the top average i took after the hours of 100% load time i did, so i'm sure my water was a bit heat soaked at that time (case temp said 51*c on the water sensor, it was gettin soaked). otherwise, even with everything OC'd to the max, when gaming i don't really have heat issues.
Just upgraded to the Asus Offical 1207 BIOS and noticed after updating using the BIOS's EzFlash that the old settings in the BIOS where still intact including all my OC Profile information.
I've don't ever recall updating any Asus BIOS without the old information all being reset back to defaults, in the process wiping OC Profiles.
Did anyone else notice this? Anyone have any idea why the old values where still in the BIOS? Thoughts?
P.S. 1207 seems to working great!
TIA
Prime, Linx, And Interl Burn Test Stable. :DQuote:

I like 1207. Gonna put 0003 on bios2 and try it out since everyone seems to like it too! So far 1207 is the best for me.Quote:

i think there's something wrong with my mainboard... for the past 2 hours i've finding what's wrong, it doesnt se no more 6 gb, only 4! cpu z and everest says that i've got 3 modules, but bios windows, airflow pro, asus ocs and cpu gadget say's i'm using only 4 gigs!! what tha hell is goin on?! i've update to 1207, no way, the problem still persist..... please guys help me to know what's wrong now, i'm a stock speed on cpu and ram... but WWWWWWWWWHy is telling 4gb nonsense?????
I am now at 4.5ghz 1.35vcore prime stable.
I refuse to push for higher clocks considering my temps.
Once water cooled i will try for 5ghz.
You need to update your Linpack libraries so you are properly stress testing using LinX.Quote:

well... 24 hours and still kickin at 4.509ghz @ 1.40625 vcore, 1.3375v QPI, 155x29 w/ 2954 uncore (1866 @ 7-9-7-24-72 2T w/ 1.73575v)

for now i can't push any further as temps during full load is in low 90's. though it seems nothing i have on my computer is even capable of pulling more than about 45% load and temps haven't gone over 59*c across the board.
it'll pass just about all LinX tests i throw at it but full mem is still showing some errors within the first 10-15 rounds.
My Linx is updated to the latest release. You need to follow the thread, as I commented this only happens when using 'all' memory and 12GB.Quote:

Lastly, when you quote voltages, what are your real load voltages as per CPU-Z (vcore) and everest (everything else)? BIOS voltages are not real voltages and are not what your processor is running at.
Could have dropped a stick, tested them individually? If they all check out one by one, try re-seating them and if that doesn't work re-seat the CPU.Quote:

1207 seems not too bad. :)Quote:

Hey guys:
I can't locate my original mobo cooler that came with the R3E. I have to rma the board. Does anyone know where I can pick one up? If anyone knows they don't need theirs I would be very happy to purchase it. I'll even ship it back to you once I get my board back. Let me know.
Thanks
i can give u mine, but i'm in italy ... :|
:p:Same here but I'm in NorwayQuote:

My temps are way too high for stress testing reaching 90 with stock cooler.
When under water i will take pictures while running prime and linx.

Made this second linx ss to show the difference between allocating 8gb vs using the all option with linx:
8GB

All
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...2ghz21linx.jpg
And yes, my linpack is updated to the latest from intel's site.
My apologies. I didn't see you were running 12gb.Quote:

well ...... it costs something like 20/25€ here..... i think,,, if u are really interested i can get moar info in my post office :up:Quote:

i was very disappointed after installing 12GB of memory,
i have same clock as you zozon 21x200blck.
when i run LinX with full load (12Gb) my GFlops Drop to 56/58 dont know why.
yeah share 1301 !
