That was a good review Zac. I especially liked the LLC testing you did. I'm sure your findings apply across all the Asus X79 offerings. Although higher LLC is good for benchmark runs, I don't run LLC above Medium for 24/7 duty.Quote:

Full analysis
So i want my money back from this board. Have RMA'ed once and it just never works correctly, not happy with any aspect of it. I work in an IT shop so i have replaced every other component in the system. I hate this board. ASUS has 1 and 1 chance only to make this right......
Who do i talk to?
only one vdroop!Quote:

If you are located outside NA then you will need to contact support in your region.

With me the display gets stuck on 30, but the RIVE never fails to wake up with a stable overclock (BIOS 901, 1005, 1101). It's quite common for systems to hang or stay blank after waking up when there's a memory prob. If it's not that I don't have any other ideas in addition to what's been mentioned.Quote:

Help!!
Just installed R4E and 3960.. but while I seem to be able to adjust the Multiplier Ok in bios and shows changed during start up ,, I always end up with a 12 multiplier / 1500mhz.. when in wondows
I did not do a fresh Windows installation.. could that be a reason.. I have even tried the cpu level up .. and when in windows a splash says its successful, but CPU Z and AIDA64 clearly show I seem to be stuck at 12multiplier. I am running the 006 bois now, but same with older one..
Perhaps I am missing something in the bios.. ?
I hope its human error not board/CPU.. strange .
Disable C1E and EIST in BIOS (CPU Performance Setting).
Tried that..thanks disabled both but still not budging from the 12 multiplier.. I am at a loss ...
Sounds like SpeedStep for sure. 12 is low multiplier used for idle state.
With CPU-Z open, if you load the system with Prime95 or LinX do you see the CPU frequency go back to full multiplier??
What are your basic BIOS settings? Take some screen captures and post them. Just what you have in Extreme Tweaker menu and CPU Settings under the Advanced menu.
Are you running your strap at 125?? (12 x 125 = 1500)
I am currently using the 125 strap and yes 1500mhz.. I did try and check cpu z under linx load.. same deal sticking at 12 multiplier. I will check to see if any templates I can use on the settings .. but to be honest think there is something else wrong..
In order to get the wrinkles out of your set up, try setting your strap back to 100, base clock at 100, and make sure you are setting your multiplier adjust for "All Cores."
Check and see if you are getting the correct speeds this way. Once you iron it out this way, you can go back and play with the strap and multipliers.
sounds like your LN2 Mode Jumper is @ Enabled position (BIOS shows ln2 mode ENable) & your Slow Mode Switch is flipped to ON
Wow!!... thats exactly the problem.. 1 minute.. fix.. multiplier running sweet now.Quote:

Mine stuck at 1200 & 1500 using fast setting, for 3 weeks. Tried every thing under the Sun. Last week I did a search again, (funny thing - when I clicked a link too this forum) throttling started working. Few days later I installed a revo 3 x2 with win7 64, still working great.
NOTE; I called Intel about this issue and found out they are having fits with the (memory-controller), plus I got signed up for a replacement when it becomes available. I also over-heard this was caused by disabling of the VT crap just before its release. I do not know if it includes the (X) series, I have the 3930K series.
I will have to add this one to my play book of answers.Quote:

I notice the points are there on the Formula and the Gene, kind of. The solder point is there, and maybe a resistor? on the Forumula, but only the solder/test points on the Gene. Just wondering if it those are OK to use... I really just don't need all the extra slots or the cost they bring.
I wish they just added the plugs to all of them :(
You should never miss an opportunity to admit you are an idiot. Its good for the ego. The first computer I built... 486SX... I screwed the Mobo directly to the tray. Stand offs are stupid, what purpose could they serve. I had never had an electricity class. Yet.Quote:

An error with installing the suite or to run a particular util in the suite ? The one for the Sabretooth and vanilla board worked fine here (all grabbed from asus webbie, never utilise the CD )
Installing error. I just reinstalled RIVE last night, grabbed all the drivers and utils from ASUS site and everything installs fine except ASUS Suite II.
I have here a P979X WS mobo that when I put this PCE-N10 wireless card into it I can not get the system to boot. The windows logo will appear and then just hang indefinitely. Pull the wireless card out and the system boots and operates normally.
I have tried this wireless card in two other systems and it works flawlessly. I have tried it in every slot on the mobo with no success. I have tried a graphics card in every slot and the graphics card works in every slot. Just not this wireless card.
Any ideas? Incompatibility? Bios setting? I have updated to the latest bios.
It takes a long time this way, but I installed the Suite just one or two tools at a time. I found that Fan Expert and Probe II were giving me a problem if I installed all the tools at the same time. Installing each tool seperately for me did the trick. It's a PIA but it helped. I find that EVO Turbo, Digi Power, AI Charger, and USB 3.0 Boost to all work well and are very useful for me. EPU, Fan Expert, and Sensor Recorded were all problematic, so I did not install them the second time around. Probe II worked fine when installed individually.Quote:

Grabbed the AI Suite myself last night and tried with my Sabertooth - flashed up to most recent BIOS. All is well. Hopefully you don't have another system instability causing issues....
System is fine, I installed everything else without issue. I ended up going back to the version on my pre launch install disk. Outdated but still works.
We stil have no improvements passed from R4E to Sabortooth BIOS? 3 months w/o update, find it hard to believe.
Most of the ROG updates are overclocking centric and those are specific to that range of boards. The St updates will focus mainly on any ucode/MRC changes and any major peripheral problems as and when.Quote:

I'm looking for some info on how this feature works before I go buy the drives. I am thinking about creating a EZ Backup setup with 2 x 3TB drives to store data from several external USB drives laying around.
1) Besides enabling the controller and installing the Marvell 9128 driver, does the OPROM need to be enabled as well?
2) If anyone has this configured, do you see the actual hard drive like it's natively attached vs. in a raid set? The Acronis backup software I use needs to verify a specific vendors drive is attached.
3) Does EZ Backup support GPT since these are 3TB drives? or do I need to drop down to 2TB disks?
4) Is the Marvell chip doing all the work or is there another chip involved, like a Silicon Image storage processor used in other Drive Xpert boards?
5) Is there any indication when a drive fails? Not much good if I don't know when I lost a drive.
I am already using an IRST raid set for my normal data storage, and would prefer to keep this data separately managed.
Thanks!
OK, I have developed an issue with my X79 pro. The board was running normally since I got it, and it was on the 802 BIOS that it came with. I had downloaded the 906 when it first came out, but never got around to it until last week. I noticed a couple issues since upgrading that the system was locked up some time after the monitors went blank (power save).
Yesterday I pulled my watercooled 6970's out of the system (one is sold and replacing both with a 7970 or two). As a temporary solution I was going to stick a Radeon 4350 in the system, but I could never get a VGA signal off of it. I thought it might be an incompatibility between the card and motherboard, as I took the card back out and put it in another system and it works just fine. The 4350 is a passively cooled card with no PCIe power connectors required.
Today I received the 7970 I ordered and tried to install it, but I get the same thing. I tried all the PCIe 16x slots in the system and still no signal. I have it seated firmly in the slot and the locks had flipped closed. I know the PCIe cables are secure, but I did notice that the VGA_LED light flashes briefly and then goes off.
Any thoughts?
Nevermind, I was able to figure out the boot issue. Turns out while I was moving things around and pulling out tubing the 8-pin motherboard cable came loose from the power supply. :am:Quote:

Heh, glad you figured it out :)
lol, you're not the only one. I was really worried when I wasn't even gettig a POST code on the debug LED.
Any thoughts on what may have changed in the BIOS revisions that could cause the blank screen lockups? Seemed like the USB might gone, too, as the DPI light on my mouse and the LCD screen on my Logitech G15 keyboard were off.
Is the system at complete stock or OC'd in any way (DRAM speed over DDR3-1600 etc)??
Currently running stock on everything with the 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600's running at Auto except for changing the speed to 1600. I think the only other thing I changed in the BIOS was to automatically load the Advanced setup and to enable the raid for the SATA 6G ports.
Now that I have the new card installed I want to try to let things settle a little, then I'll start testing to see if I can replroduce the issues I was having. I don't recall setting any other BIOS timings, etc in the 802 version BIOS that might be missing now that I went to the 906.
Thanks for your help ;)
Updated AI Suite for the X79 Sabertooth is due to go up in the next 24 hours or so on this URL:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/misc/...PVistaWin7.zip
Any info whether we might get the new memory profiles used here for the R4E? Samsung 4x4 might be interesting for some Corsair 2133MHz C9 users.
Any new updates for Asus P9X79-WS ?
Bios and drivers is from Year 2011 :confused:
That's a crock; If I thought I was buying a standard run of the mill board w/o support I would have bought one MUCH cheaper. ucode updates hardly ever happen. These boards almost overclock as good as the R4E and should have the updates as the R4E gets them.

Most DIMMs can be maxxed out using the Max MHz profile as a starting point. Check the R4E UEFI guide for further info on individual parameters if need be. If the memory is not stable using the Max Mhz profile at a given frequency, there is little that can be done. Other than that, MRC or uCode updates can be give or take for some DIMMs on newer UEFI builds - nothing we can do about that.Quote:

Hi all I have been trying on and off for several weeks to track down what's broken analogue audio out from the onboard realtek sound.
Optical audio out works fine but analogue is constant static and screeching. (no actual sound plays its just complete static and hissing/screeching.)
Ive tried rolling back drivers, bios and disabling various onboard components with no luck and am now at a complete loss.
I havent done any extreme 3930K OC past 5.1Ghz and only on water cooling. (no spills!)
Everything else works perfect and haven't experienced a single crash or BSOD in weeks.
Anyone have any advice?
Win7 64bit Ultimate SP1 everything up to date. (bios,drivers,etc)
Not heard of this before so if the system does it a bone stock defaults (no overclock), then I would suggest RMA.
Hello Raja,
I've tried running a Xeon (E5 2687W ES) on the Formula, but without success.
The debug display stops at 5A.
Can you help us there?
We are now two people with this problem (Maniac81 and I) :
http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community...855564-39.html
Greetings from Germany
Xeon support is generally WS boards. Check the CPU QVL on that board, if it's not there then it is not supported. If you want to push for support, then contact ASUS Germany. If it's ES, then you may have other problems when uCode does not support in future. ES CPU should not be with end-user anyway.
I am going to buy a ASUS x79 board but which one? So far it is either sabertooth, formula or WS... Extreme us out if stock here. To be added are revo 2, 6990, 6970 and essense STX.
Update for Asus x79 WS !
P9X79 WS Formal BIOS 0904 release
1. Update MRC to 1.0.007.
2. Fixed XMP voltage information is incorrect of Ai Tweaker in BIOS setup with some DRAMs.
3. Auto detect UEFI OS harddisk to create Window Boot Manager boot path.

Hi Guys,
I was able to OC my CPU up to 4.8-4.9 for these benchmarks. In order to keep up I tried to OC to 5.0. This is when I smelled smoke and immediately turned off my PC. I have checked everywhere on my motherboard, psu and video cards and I cannot see any evidence of burning whatsoever. I even pulled the PSU out and could smell nothing. I have an Corsair 800D and the smell came from the back fan on the top of the case.. Now I am unable to boot at 4.8 at all. I can now only be stable at 4.5. In your opinion is this a motherboard issue? CPU issue? I have warranty for all of my stuff. Should I just keep going with my current 4.5 settings and consider myself lucky? Or, is my PC a ticking time bomb waiting to flame out?
I forgot to mention that my CPU is watercooled.
Specs:
Asus Rampage 4 Extreme
3930k
GTX 680xSLI
OCZ Vertex 3 Raid 0
Silverstone 1500 watt psu
16 gigs of G-SKill DDR 3 2133
Corsair 800D
I'd really appreciate the thoughts of the experts.
Thank you.
When you smell circuit smoke, more than likely it's the mobo. You may want to use a flashlight and check your board, particularly around the CPU socket area, may under a chipsink. Anyway, maybe it's not a crucial circuit or chip that burned, that's why your PC is still working. Though not sure of its longivity now.
This annoys me in peoples level of responsibility; you made the choice to dump a bunch of extra current and voltage into CPU and motherboard, and yet you assume you have it 'covered' under warranty.
I flamed out a 980x CPU in 13 months from overclocking.. I ate the dough as I made that conscious decision. You should man up and go buy new parts and re-think your decision on over-clocking if you expect others to pony up the expense of your actions.

I do not expect anyone to pay for this. I'll happily pay for it to be repaired if there is in fact an issue and Asus says it is not covered under warranty. I'd appreciate it is you would keep the bad day you are having to yourself instead of trying to ruin mine. Thanks.
These boards are "made" for OCing extremists. Mfrs know they will be tortured. They build them for one purpose, OCing! They should still be under warranty regardless if you don't intentionally hardwire a 120V directly to the board.Quote:

I'm fully aware of that, been over-clocking since the IBM AT (80286) days; but its always at their discretion.

Maybe your board (Dual CPU) sabertooth or mine P9X79Pro Asus might pull the your not covered for OCing statement but I doubt it. Asus have posted screen shots of all there boards overcolcked all over the web and in my experience they are just not that petty, atleast not in the UK
Do you own shares in Intel or Asus? or have shares in a company called ANAL, Your kind of post annoys me :0Quote:

I have checked the board multiple times. The smoke smell is gone and my machine runs fine. I am able to hit 4.8 again now after a windows 7 reinstall. I am pretty sure that if I rma'd the board as is they would just send it back saying it is fine because it boots up. I will have to take it out of my case to fully check for damage. I will post back if I find anything.
can you see the VRMs or are they underneath a heatsink ?
Latest X79 Pro bios seem to work, but my overclock is -100Mhz from before. Still no fix for the auto overclock that is causing so much pain when you change certain settings. I have found it repeatedly overclocking my RAM past its limit because I changed an unrelated setting elsewhere in the bios. Honestly Asus this "feature" is terrible, just remove it already.
What is the "unrelated" setting you are changing elsewhere in BIOS? Chances are the setting is related and that is what is causing you the problems. In which case it's easy enough just to run a manual OC without relying on the auto feature.Quote:

Hey good question, When you look at the inside of the 550 the steel is raised up in a smooth curve right at the edge of the motherboard so I doubt more than the standard ATX size will fit. Had the board tray been flat well you know the rest.Quote:

I'm looking to assemble a new X79 rig, upgrading from MaxFormulaX38/Q6600 (What great combo!) now I used to buy the top board so I'm looking at X79 Deluxe, Sabertooth, the WS edition and the RIVE.
I want 8 DDR slot, I don't plan exotic overclock so the RIVE look like a wastle of $$$ and time to tune it. The Sabertooth has crap NICs, the WS is the most expensive but 2 Intel NIC and support for ECC DDR (I'm thinking to buy the Xeon E16xx because in my book keeping tons of RAM no ECC stable isn't that easy , think about at 32 GB, 8x4GB), but it's 3.2Ghz with ECC or 4.2-4.5 without ECC, a sizable difference.
What are the under the hood difference between these model ?
In last few years I've lost a little the touch with the latest release of Asus, so i'm a little confused from this large lineup.
The stability is the most important factor with 8 DDR slot filled.
thanks.
I suggest you look at the P9X79 Deluxe. It clocks nearly as well as the RIVE without all the hardcore OC features and comes loaded with features. I have one in my son's rig and we love it.
The Sabertooth offers the most in terms of pricing, but then again a ~$50 difference isn't too relevant for a high-end build so you should really choose what suits your needs the most in this situation.
I'd go with the Deluxe or WS, they're both quality boards with dual LAN and won't have the slightest problem achieving a moderate overclock. 32GB isn't a problem either with the right sticks, G.Skill is usually a safe bet.

I use AIDA64 with RIVE, but AIDA can't read information for "opt_temp" and temp "PCH",
AIDA's staff told me this
it's possible to solve the problem?Quote:
The mentioned temperatures are only available via bank switching on the EC (Embedded Controller) chip of Rampage IV Extreme. However, switching the bank on the EC may cause a system crash or BSoD if other software or the BIOS also communicates with the EC. Hence we cannot risk of a bank switching as long as Asus refuses to implement synchronizing in their software (AI Suite). We've already contacted them about that, but they don't seem to care about 3rd party software
I only use AIDA64
Thank you very much :)
I don't think ASUS is going to open that up for third parties Titsou.
With previous platforms, there were no problems
I'll be disappointed (and those who use AIDA64) if Asus did not do :(
I have a cold boot since I passed OC 4.5GhZ, it can come from what?

the rest in AUTO
for info, to 4.3GhZ (and same settings, and the vcore down) there is no cold boot
other info, if I switch from 4.5 to 4.4GhZ after the bios, boot the PC directly, when I go to 4.3GhZ after the bios, the PC shuts down and then boot

I owned r4e and an Asus hdav 1.3 slim(pci)
Is there any adaptor pci to pcie exist?
Is there any other option to separate audio hdmi(blu ray dtsHD) from video hdmi?
There is a new version of the rom RSTe 3.1.0.2101
Asus will update it in the next bios?
Or if anyone can change, I know it is possible
With drivers AHCI/RAID 3.1.0.1085, you have to do manipulation in the ownership of each disc, otherwise the write performance is extremely low, and the boot is very long
I don't know if this update will change anything
Anyone else have any thoughts on the new BIOS files for the X79 series? I just noticed there are a 1010 and 1104 for my X79 Pro.
Guys, I'm getting into 2011 late (since Ivy was not really worth waiting for ...), I just bought a 3930K with a mobo but I am not keen on it (Asrock Extreme9) and would much prefer either a Gene IV or a Rampage Formula, is the Gene a good performer (as other Gene's are)? The most vid cards I may have will be two for benching, most often just the one so I don't really need the full length mobo. What do you guys think? Also what is a good ram for benching and gaming? I do have four sticks of g.skill BBSE but I also have a pair of 2400 Team Xtreems, what can I expect out of either of these with x79? Any other rams you guys would recommend? I heard that x79 does not offer very high mem clocks but I have not been through this thread yet, if I can get up around 2600 I wuld be more than happy.
Any input would be great.
:)
I just flashed my R4E from the 0604 BIOS to the 1202, but now it’s stuck in a continuous loop with the iROG-1 firmware update.
When it reaches 100% it says firmware update successful it restarts I get the splash screen a few times and it goes back to the iROG-1 update, pressing delete doesn’t get me into the BIOS.
Try the other BIOS chip.Quote:

No, not planned on current boards. Afaik the update is all about SAS so no point sticking these on current designs at all.Quote:

If that does not work contact ASUS Support and ask for RMA. It is worth replacing the PSU too in case it has a faulty rail (you cannot test it properly with a DMM orm cheap PSU rail voltage tester).
I did try with another PSU, but the result is the same. The current PSU is working on another PC perfectly fine. I'll have to return the motherboard to my supplier than. Thanks for the help.Quote:

And 1.34v for the vcore in h24 is reasonable (WC)?
Thanks

A while ago I complained about the EPU and other power saving technologies causing inconsistent performance in Windows in regards to my P9X79 Pro. Just wanted to come back and say that it was just AMD's rubbish crossfire technology and that now I have SLI the power saving is causing me no problems or stuttering at all.
About the Offset with RIVE. With an OC to 4.5, 4.6ghz, it's better to use the "Vcore fixed" or "Offset"?
For 4.5ghz, is stable at 1.285v (LLC High)
To set the offset, must be put Vcore to Auto, reboot, and if the Vcore is 1.35v.
I have to 1.35v - 1.28 = 0.07
Offset = - 0.07v
That's right?
LLC to "Medium" ou "High"?
The motherboard does not risk anything with these rising tensions (~ 1v idle and 1.30v Load)?
Thanks ;)
Greetings,
I know Ive allready posted this on HARDforum ( username: CADharsis ) but I thought, more eyes on this might be helpful to solve this issues.
so here it is:
I`m constantly getting a systemfreeze, when trying to enable CrossfireX (or shortly after) on my two Firepro v8800. I`ve never had any problems with this cards in my old system and both of them seperated are working without any issues in this new build. I had even tested them together (Crossfire disabled) in luxmark and and Aida64 with no Problems.
my System Specs:
MB: Asus P9X79 DELUXE (BIOS 2002)
CPU: i7 3960x
GPU: 2x FirePro V8800 (Driver 8.911.3.3000 isv)
RAM: 2x Corsair CMX32GX3M4A1600C1 (64GB)
PSU: Corsair TX850W
SSD: Crucial M4 256 GB
O/S: Windows 7 64bit Professional SP01
I did a clean Win7 installation I updated every driver and the MOBO (2002) BIOS... recognized that the newest chipsetdrivers are more than one year old.
I also tested older GPU drivers.......no luck
The system is prime95-stable both cards did very well running Furmak.
Memtest shows no issues.........
The cards are installed in slot 1 and 4, as recommended. Ive allready tested the other ones with same results
My old System had never had any problems running both cards in CF
All Temps are OK.....I don`t know what to do anymore
any suggestions?
thank you
