Well the first time the 1.7.101 installed perfectly fine but now it does the same thing as the 102 and its really frustrating me that just the 1.6.109 works without any hitches.
The error is:
Installation aborted
___No Hydralogix hardware detected
NOTE: Praz slot one is not connected to hydra.
The only issue I have had with drivers involved ATI. For whatever reason the drivers quit seeing the 5870. The only fix I found was a reinstall of Win7. According to Asus and the manual slots 1 and 4 should be used for a dual card Lucid setup. Benchmarks seem to agree with this.
AVP single 460 - 40.5 Average FPS
AVP dual 460 - 75.4 Average FPS
Do you have any hitches installing the driver as in after the restart? Mine after the restart it the windows will begin to freeze and sometimes it wont even get to logging in before it freezes. If Mac or chew could chime in.
No, not any issue at all. The following method is what I have been using since before the board was released whenever I change the configuration. Uninstall the Lucid driver. Reboot and uninstall the video drivers. If using both nVidia and ATI I reboot in between uninstalling the two. Boot into Safe mode and run Driver Sweeper. Reboot and install the video driver. An additional reboot and install if using both nVidia and ATI. Reboot again and install the Lucid driver.
Using this method I have benched the following configurations without issue with 10 games and 3dMark06/Vantage over the last couple of days:
Single 5870
Single 460
Dual 460s
Single 460 and 5870 together
I am currently benching hacked SLI with the 460s.
That would work except I have no stability in windows without the Hydra driver. This is just really annoying me and im going to take a break from updating for a bit till the new driver comes out to support Black Ops.
Chew*, Mac or any of the other users experience anything like what im describing or should i just need to reinstall windows?
I would think a reinstall of Windows would get rid of the issues you are having. Video cards in slots PCIex16_1 and PCIex16_4 installing the 260.99 drivers and then the 1.7.102 Lucid driver.
Now should I use the chipset driver that is on the disc that came with the mobo or should I get the files from asus' dowloader?
I've been using all the drivers from the disk that came with the board. If there is an option of installing the USB Filter Driver don't install that.
Anyone know if there's any waterblocks available for this? I don't think any of the Formula blocks will fit the extreme.

Well I was looking at this board, but does anyone know if Asus will be releasing an updated version with a higher quality PLL that doesn't fluctuate?
It didn't seem that bad during the limited time I had to test it..Quote:

Its unlikely that they will be releasing anything new until Bulldozer and the 9 series chipsets.

Think it was Mips that had a fullcover block...
No, they don't have any waterblocks for the Extreme design. I asked them 1 week ago and they said, that's not available, because the demand factos is too low.Quote:
