CAS 7 will not run 2gigs error free because i'm sure 100% 1 is now bad.
If I use the 1 good one, I can run 7-6-5-18 @ 1T 1800MHz - 1900MHz all day.
Viper 1800MHz 8-8-8-20 @ 2T 1.9v is rated speed, do you guys think the 1 stick will still cause problems in the system with the above noted information?
I can't use the floppy version because it doesn't like Vista 64. I dl the bootable USB version 2.01 and stuck it on my USB stick.Quote:

Mine works, I made a bootable ISO cd.. I just hit F8 & boot from the cd I made with v2.1Quote:

So this guarantees that no more corruption issues? Am I still on the brink of corruptions (still on 0703)?
I still get them, They are mainly effecting my windows installation. I've had to re-install windows about 3 times so far.Quote:

Well... you can wait, as I'm crazy enough to test all of them.
But it will take some time as I have several reviews to finish.
Oh noes!!!
Im getting video freezes :shrug:
I can move files (tried 7gbs big) around HDDs, install 4-6gbs programs, surf the net, download stuff, run 3dmark 20 times, run prime95 for 25 hours but whenever I watch a video it freezes after 20 secs??? I have reinstalled windows and also codecs but nothing...
Wow, Im not 100% estable after all :down:
Is this a sign of corruption problems? (read my above paragraph cause I doubt this)
I think I will give 0704 another try soon...
Grrrrrr......... I want a solution to this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you freezing in windows or BSoDing? or BDoDing before getting to windows? details plzQuote:
I tried that, didn't fix it, I just got another corrupt issue, damnit. Same area, always is the "\Windows\System32\config\system"
Will try that for sure! (Read above), but sometimes the RAM speed wont change until you increase like 20Mhz, thats the problem.Quote:

i used your settings ... read my post in the other thread 790i.thread...
BUT im on 704... no video errors so far ...
I finally got my rig stable at 1800fsb with 1600 memory, but it doesn't seem to like doing any higher on the memory because i tried sync and it would lockup mainly during any stress test.
But 3.6Ghz at 1.325 is sexy, I want it to have my babies now. But if i can get it working at 1800mem that would be nice too.
Back on 0704
Going to start from scratch to find my sweet spot on this BIOS since I dont want to be left out in the dust of brink of corruption.
I cant believe how estable I am as long as I dont watch videos on 0703... thats just dissapointing
27 mins remaining, testing at 1850FSB 1650mem, so far so good. It seems this unlinked divider is good.
Yesterday i watched something on youtube and suddenly the sound was kind of weird... "OH NO!" I thought ... "The same video problem?" But nothing more happend... Even 4 Gig videofiles run smooth.Quote:

You're lucky. I am unable to get past 1840MHz on my S2E, whatever memory setting I use. Is there something I could be missing? On a positive note, my 1600MHz rated 4GB memory, easily did 2000MHz at 9-9-9-24 2T on stock voltage, although the memory benchmarks were slightly better at 1840MHz with tighter timings. This puts me off upgrading to some of the faster new memory coming out (OCZ 2000MHz RAM has 9-9-9-28 Timings!!) , which basically offers these same timings, albeit probably with 1T command rate. How much difference would the 1T make?Quote:

I've got an audigy 4 chip ... maybe its similar to x-fi chips... So what did you find out?
to your prob...
Perhaps you can try "my" settings ;)
with 1750 FSB and 1600 MEM...
That sucks Justfire, I got through memtest ok with those setting..I even passed lowering RAM volts to 1.9 now. BTW are you cooling your RAM? I bought the silly OCZ fan cooler for the RAM because I happen to touch one of the sticks when priming and it was amazlingly hot. I now have one of my ESA temp sensors stuck to it to monitor the temp. Gets upto about 58c. Think heat maybe your issue?Quote:

When I restarted the PC, played all my songs, none of them had crackling sounds!!! Happy music (bass for me :p:)
Hope that helps you guys :D
with Bios 0703 Rams works max with 1763MHz and now with Bios 0704 it will run with 1929 MHz now 3h stable
http://freenet-homepage.de/Leippi/191.JPG
now i'm also having those video corrupion problems..reinstalled vista today turned on vista dreamscene and i get artifacts using 0703 tho' running 1800fsb and mem 4ghz 7 6 5 18 1t
Guys just a heads up, video drivers 175.XX are still not working 100%
I run 9800GX2 & can't use any of the 175.XX, I'm not the only one who has this problem.
I was also getting video corruption ect...
If I use 174.74 works 100% with no video freezing & driver has stop working are gone.
Ohhh & it's just not the S2E board thats causes this problem...
Also make sure you run memtest86 v2.1, if you get errors on memory this will also add to video problems. TRUST ME
I already had my Plug & Play OS enabled in the bios so I move the soundcard to the other PCI slot...problem solved no crackling. Thx for the tip SlimQuote:

Start playing with my QX9650 soon
Wow, finally we can share ideas about this cause Im also having those problems! I have been around ASUS forums and eVGA forums and there are 9999 users with the same problems. That means my OC is 100% estable but SLI is causing my freezes and lock ups while watching videos!Quote:

You will also see that alot of others also can't run 175.XX.
What do you mean when you sayQuote:

You mean you got them to work (174.74) as they should? what do you mean with recovery?
I gave the settings Trigger suggested but I ended up having to bump my Vcore a lot higher than 1.325 to get it to post. What do you guys think is a safe limit for a 24/7 voltage for the QX9650
installed 174.15 yesterday and flashed to 0704 same crap
i better try thaat one
here using gx2 and i keep getting artifacts on dreamscene but no prob at all with movies
might be a corrupted installation of vista
edit tried for the first time the audio and it sucks tried to dl a newest driver from asus and it's the same crap on cd drivers
Hi guys. I am having the same problems with 175.16 drivers, crappy sound. I just installed 174.74 again and all correct.
I guess its an improvement over the last one, the striker I dealt with before this one was a bastard.
Same problem. Had Vista SP1 x64 and pixels was flying all over the screen with just simple Aero. Trested all 175.* drivers. Gave up, installed Vista x86 with latest 175 beta - looks okey. Have yet to test the ingame stuff, but 3dmark worksQuote:

Hey HardCase
You are using 174.74 Beta right? Because when I try the WHQL version, it tells me it cannot find hardware compatible with the driver, I installed with modded INF and my VGA wont work with this 174.74 WHQL :(
BTW 175.80 sucks, pc freezes in less time than 175.16
slim142, the 174.74 I'm using is WHQL, It supports my card 9800GX2.
Maybe it only supports this list:
WHQL certified driver for the following GPUs:
GeForce 9800 GX2
GeForce 9800 GTX
GeForce 9600 GT
GeForce 8300
GeForce 8200
GeForce 8100/NVIDIA nForce 720a
NVIDIA nForce 730a
Thats probably whyQuote:

From my understanding it don't make a difference if sli or not.Quote:

Just recieved the Q9550 I've been waiting all these months, put my S2E rig together and problems already!
The board does not boot with the EVGA 9800 GTX. Does the typical 1 long-3 short beeps and LCD posted displays VGA BIOS at that time.
- Tried 0402, 0508, 0703 and 0704 BIOS versions
- Tried another PSU
- Tried the card in another board (works perfectly)
- Tried the top blue and the white PCI-E slots
- Tried with my 8800 GTX and 7900 GT cards (both working). Didn't have another PCI-E v2.0 card to test.
In one way who cares? I never planed to run the 9800 GTX with this board; I just traded my v-modded 8800 GTX with this card so that I use its 90-day step up for the upcoming GT200. But I surely hope there is no issue with PCI-E 2.0 cards in general and my S2E board.
Great settings! Worked great for me, stable on prime.Quote:

:up::up::up:
And so after many, many frustrating hours of messing with BIOS settings and trying various BIOS versions (0402, 0502, 0503, 0701) and having Win XP corrupted 2x, I have managed to overclock my E8400 to 3998Ghz on my ASUS Striker II Extreme.
:D
I did this on air too.
I am using an Thermalright IXF-14 with AS5.
It only fits because I "machined" a custom made bracket / clip from a 1mm pump shim (I will probably change it to 2mm thickness for extra support)
I ended up using the original BIOS of 0402.
It's Prime95 stable (after just under 3 hours), 3D stable (3Dmark06 x3) and stable with Memtest86+.
Temps are about 40-42ºC Idle and 47-53ºC on load depending on whether I close the case or not...
I managed to pull of 18,994 3DMark06 points! Sweet. At stock settings (3.0Ghz) it was around 15k.
Seems as though there are many people out there with much pain!
There do indeed seem to be many FSB blackholes.
No matter what I tried I could not use 1600Mhz as the FSB or 1700Mhz.
Strange considering the board is rated past 1600 and my RAM is rated at 1600 Mhz too.
Here is an example of the weirdness: I could get it stable at FSB=1777 but not FSB=1735.
I think I can get a little more out of this board / cpu but it's stable so I don't think I'm going to mess with it too much more!
Anway here are the settings I used. Hopefully other people will find them useful...
CPU multiplier = 9.0
FSB = 1777 (444 x 4)
RAM Link and Sync
RAM = 8-7-7-23-2T (rest in Auto)
CPU V = 1.3625v
CPU PLL v = 1.45v
CPU VTT v = 1.36v
Memory v = 1.92v
NB Core v = 1.46v
SB Core v = 1.60v
CPU GTL_Ref0 Ratio = +42mv
Ref 1 = +39mv
Ref 2 = +39mv
Ref 3 = +42mv
All other settings in Auto.
:up:
***
I just thought of something...
Sometimes (and I have no idea why?!?!) I get BSOD on cold boots (i.e. PC off for a day or 2 and then turn on).
:down:
But ONLY in XP. Windoos gets to the login screen and then...BSOD. It's always OK on the restart though...
XP is stable during normal running, which is what I find weird.
I wonder if I have "mild corruption" in XP? Not sure if "mild corruption" is even possible...LoL
NEVER get any issues in Vista.
Weirdness.
:shrug:

I couldnt update to 0704 with awardflash, had to use EZ Flash, anybody with same problem?
OMG :eek:
Things get weird with this board/ram.
Prime 95 blend test is stabil @ 1742 synced 7-7-7-24 2T P1+P2 enabled @ 1.90v, memtest86 still give lots of errors (test 4+6)
After lots of errors in memtest86 v3.4 i decided to check one dimm at a time.
Dimm 1 passed without errors, Dimm 2 passed without errors :shakes:
So i know for sure now it isnt the ram whats faulty.
Put both dimms in the blue slots, errors again, put them back in the whites where they were all the time, errors again.
Lowered the FSB to 1333 and keep the ram speeds at 1742,
test 4 passed without errors, test 6 errors again :(
Disabled core 2 and 3 (0 and 1 enabled) and upped the fsb back to 1742 synced.
Test 4 passed, test 6 errors again :mad:
Is it possible memtest just cant handle the qx9650/790i/2x2GB ram ?
I think it's strange that some people on this forum can run memtest without any errors, where others have a hard time getting it pass.
And why is it prime stabil where it fails within 5 minutes on memtest? :shrug:
Those without errors in memtest, what is your NB/SB temperatures ?
At the moment 4450 mhz @ vcore 1.4750v (1.52v in bios) vtt 1.6 pll 1.6 prime stabil (468x9.5 or 445x10, both ok)Quote:

OK
Tested mem with vista memory test utility (some guy from ocz on a forum advices to use this instead of memtest)
No errors found.
I think it's time for me to say : Fcuk Memtest !
Altough it served me for years, at the moment it just doesnt seem to work as it should be.
Going to test further with prime and vista mem tool :up:
no errors with vista mem tool ... but errors with memtest, right?
Well, I keep having lock ups at desktop. I can run prime95, and OCCT all i want and be stable, But let it idle at desktop for a few hours and it locks up. I'm confused.
Try EZ Bios, but I flash using USB works 100%Quote:

I think my OCZ sticks are not as capable as yours. Most of the attempts actually crash memtest or cause it to reboot..not actual memory errors. Weird.Quote:

I had errors when I used OCZ (2000MHz rated) memory often with Test 8, no errors with Corsair. Either OCZ don't like Memtest, or OCZ don't like S2E!!!;)Quote:

Bottom line... Never trust memtest 3.4. 2.1 on the other hand seems to be trustworthy.
I think it's safe yes.Quote:

Just watch the temps.
Ill start creeping up the voltages and see what happens. what kind temps are you getting (with core temp if you use it) at 4450?
Niice! Finally the battle we were all waiting for!

This makes me REALLY (you dont know how much) happy :D
At least Jensen and the rest of Nvidia are not sitting and waiting for mercy; they are all locked and loaded for the biggest fight of their careers.
Sounds to me that Intel can't get there own way.Quote:

Now NVIDIA's next-generation GPU is just about the worst kept secret in the industry, and to that extent there's been plenty of speculation on the features and size of such a GPU. 1.2 billion transistors is consistent (if not a tad higher) than what rumors have been floating about so the size doesn't come as much of a surprise, but we are surprised that NVIDIA would publish such a fact for a product that doesn't exist yet. None the less, of all the rumors we can at least lay those about the transistor count to rest: NVIDIA's next generation high-end GPU will have around 1.2 billion transistors, and that's right from the horse's mouth.
Intel is very worried about not having Sli...
Without NVIDIA they wouldnt have such high sell rates. Many buy them to pair with 680/750/780/790. Also, Intel is in the top 3dMark ORB because of SLI.
However... now whats next? I really want to see whats going to happen with both of this companies in the next few months :D
Time for Nvidia to start making cpu's...Quote:

I had the same problem with memtest86 v2.01, I had to adjust timmings to stop freezing.
This also made system 100% rock stable.
With what I have seen with S2E, Memtest freezing usually means you need more juice for the SPP and/or relax your timings.
I'll try more juice first... if not I'll relax. Lol sounds like a regular weekend.
i have a new pc,but i have some problems too.
my pc's parts are:
mb:extreme striker II
pcu:q9300 quad core penryn@2.5
graphics cards:2x8800gtx 768mb
ram:gskill 1333mhz 2gb
os:xp sp2
The problems are in the software.
i tried to connect to the internet with a usb 56k modem for a while and it freezed.Every time now i put the mouse on the icon of this connection for a sec it freezes again and i have to reboot.
an other problem is that i can't install photoshop cs3, when on my old pc i could.lol!!!!!
i can't install autocad 2008 but i can 2009.crazy.
when i run 3dmark06,after it finishes, the start menu can't open.
i have done bios updates in versions 0402,0511,0602,0701,0703 but no difference.
any ideas??????please.
goal make sure your ram is working 100%
run them at stock timings and stock voltages, everything else on auto
disable SLI
try 0704 and see what happens
i already have done this and ram works perfectly.i will try 0704 and let you know tomorrow.
That would be a disaster they can't even make a functioning motherboard how in the world could they make a CPU???Quote:
