more and stronger competition towards intel is better for us. I'm up for seeing nvidia making cpus in the future. hehe. :D
Why not now? :D
I'll tell u what now. ASUS and Nvidia need to make a 790I ultra Bios that works.Quote:

Is it the same problem the reference boards had with P04 that is now fixed in P05? ( here ) If so i assume Asus don't have a fix for that yet.Quote:

We can just wait...
^_^
To be precise - 780i based Asus boards (P5N-T Deluxe, Striker 2 Formula, P5N72-T Premium) have already alpha BIOS ready.
790i - should be ready by Tuesday.
Can't seem to find it for my S2F... I assume you have a (download) link for the alpha BIOS?Quote:

Thanks BZ!
Thats good news, I just hope this BIOS works nicely paired with 175.16WHQL.Quote:

Still not stable with SLI :(, showed no improvement whatsoever.
Wait, does this fix the SLI issues or is it just about RAM performance improvement?Quote:

Is there any word on when that will be fixed?
What SLI issues are you talking about guys ?
Are you talking about the video freezes ?
Didn't that occur in single card configurations as well ?
No
Single card=no freezes at all
SLI= freezes when watching videos. No matter what player/codec, BIOS/driver. ~20 after watching videos->beep->restart.
Trying 0801
I'm using SLI with 8800GT's I have not had any video freezing issues. I've played all kinds WMP11, mastroka, divx, huge 1080P movies too.Quote:

And No, I havent tried benching w/out the sound card neither. How much did your score increased without the soundcard?
I dont think this is Prelude related because people with Xtremegamers and other cards are also having this freezes.
Im going to give this a last try, going to install 175.80 Beta with 0801 from scratch but Im going to make sure I create an image with Acronis this time. If this doesnt work, I hope tomorrow when I wake up I see a post from pmp saying "new bios 0802 changelog-> fixed isolated video issues" lol!
What m8 does mean?
I understand your point, what I am suggesting is that the PCI slot is somehow interfering with the performance of the board. It probably does not matter what card is in there. My memory scores have definitely improved, and surely it is worth a try|!?Quote:

I just finished installing XP. I only installed nForce drivers (all), made an Acronis image, installed geForce 175.80, K-lite mega codec pack 3.9.5 and VIDEO FREEZES STILL PRESENT.

And I second ya statement, some boards are fab out of the box, some will never ever be....
Remind yourself - when it was keeping in mind when nF680i started...
I'm not trying to discourage anybody of using nVidia chipsets, but my belief, now after so much time is that is the only way to push nVidia to create USABLE chipsets - or abandon them at all. It wouldn't be pity...
I started using SLI because of my personal love for large LCD displays, but what it gave me ? A lot of work to do :) Life is too short to spend every night on trying to make nVidia chip stable more or less...
From engineering side - keep in mind that QC of nVidia chipsets - basically sucks. This is the reason one board could be so much better than another one, etc. This also makes BIOS develompent much more complex than you imagine.
I guess this is my last NVIDIA board. Next time, Ill make sure instead of spending $400 on 2 8800GT, I will buy one REALLY GOOD card paired with an Intel chipset. This is it, I cant believe after weeks of getting it estable and no corruptions, I end up with SLI problems. Thats ridiculous.Quote:

Just want to ask you (pmp) something before I start looking deeper into Intel boards, was your tuesday release the BIOS 0801 that you gave us today? Because if it is, then I guess Im going to start a revolution demanding NVIDIA for a BIOS that makes SLI work...
I'd abandon this board in a second if someone would release a single card soloution that would drive my 30" to my satisfaction... but since there isn't a sloution like that, I'm f'n stuck with this POS :(
I were. For two years. Frankly, last month i kicked out 3 home PC built on nVidia chipsets. I spent more time with working with them, than on them...Quote:

I moved my 2nd PC for Intel chipset, and guess what? No need to pray! :clap:

To clarify what you didnt understand. Remember when you said this

Well, according to this, I think you meant a new BIOS would come out (tomorrow tuesday june 10) for 790i fixing this SLI issues, but then you came today and gave us 0801. Is this what you meant? Or should we expect a new BIOS tomorrow that finally fixes SLI issues?
Oh yeah I forgot
I dont know if this has anything to do with my problems, I see it weird cause many people mentioned this. Im not a motherboard expert but does this seem strange? :para:
http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/5909/irqvn0.th.png
Hah, now i get what you were reffering to. No, there's another build of nVidia code floating around, not included in 0801... ready for new build ? :rofl: check the thread tommorow :DQuote:

oh god, I just finished opening my tombstone (50+ pounds) and moving my Auzentech to the last slot.

My hopes are now on the new release that pmp is going to bring... if that doesnt work, Im going to be really pissed for the first time on NVIDIA and Im not going to Nsist on Nvidia anymore.
Sorry to that you guys are still having problems over here in the land of the 790i. When I first got this board I loved it the layout is the best. But when one spends this much money on it and can not OC it without problems it get a little frustrating. I really do feel this board will have a REVISION to a second one. And when they get this thing fixed I will be back for sure... My BlackOps seems to be working fine for me now just waiting on the new 4870 X2 to throw in it. Small learning curve in the BIOS other then that very easy. I got my board and was able to get my QX9650 to 4Ghz no problems. Now I am looking for better memory, for my e8400 cpu. Good luck to you all and Slim142 I hope this will work out for you.
Thanks broQuote:

Hi all, newbie to the forum but user of the S2E. From reading this thread it certainly is a roller coaster ride with this board. Slim any chance you've tried different vid drivers? Used to have major issues running 175.16 WHQL with this board and 8800gtx SLI, had video troubles and audio snap crackle pops etc. Since then I've uninstalled them and now use 174.74 beta, no problems. Video runs fine no glitches, not to say this board still isn't 100% glitch free. OC seems to be a bit of another adventure. Good luck to us all heh. Take care.
Slim btw forgot to mention my details, QX9650 Vista 64bit SP1 BIOS 704

Seems from reading on many other forums, it seems to boil down to driver/bios issues rather than a board problems but I'm not an expert. I certainly did find conclusive issues when running SLI with these cards on this board. I use an Auzentech Prelude and once SLI was enabled all hell broke loose, especially with the latest drivers. Once SLI was disabled, all was well go figure. It is a bit frustrating paying top dollar for a motherboard only to find it runs worse than my old 386 at times, especially when I try to OC. Sad really. Guess we just have to either be patient, or else jump on the bandwagon and grab a different board altogether. Wouldn't feel as bad if it was slightly cheaper that is for sure.
Cheers.
I'm getting Lockups at Idle with 0704 and a single video card, I can't figure out what. Damnit.
BIOS 0801 E8500
1882 x 8.5 linked & synced 4ghz rock stable
1902 x 8 " & " "" BSOD, os corrupt.
I can see BSOD, but os should NOT bork!!!!!

Alright folks, I'll probably be done with the review in about 12 hours.
After that I'll do some testing in SLI & single card to check out the video freeze issues that you're having.

guys, i have no problem with SLI of Two Ultras with 0704 ... problem is in your settings ...
About freezing in videos - Yes i had it, i lowered CPU clocks and now is everything OK!
Hi All, my first post so i'd like to start by saying thanks for an informative forum. With 0801 I can now run my 4x1Gb sticks of OCZ PC3-16000C9 2000MHz EB at 7-7-7-20-1T running 1760FSB synced and linked. Before it would not boot with a CAS of 7. I find this combination works better and more stable than a higher FSB and a 2T command rate. There are definately holes in certain FSB settings where performance drops off - I guess it is also memory dependant.
Are SLI corruption issues also happening with single 9800GX2 card's ?. I am running an EVGA SSC one with no issues so far but not tried playing videos other than in iTunes. Will try that one tonight.
I guess there is a way to add my specs and settings in the signature file ?.
Has anyone tried tweaking the LDT Multi yet?
P.S. I just got corrupted OS when Trying to boot at 1800mhz on Memory.
I haven't had any problems with my 9800GX2 in terms of video corruption or freezing or whatnot. Pretty sure this appears to be limited to two separate cards working in SLI.Quote:

Thanks Mackintosh.
Need to work out how to do quotes here :confused:
With 0704 bios I would run 1800FSB with 8-7-7-22-30-1T timings and a multiplier of 9 for 4050Hz on my QX9770 C1 stepping. 3d Mark 06 20477 (project ID 6899103) but it was not prime stable. Since changing heatsink from Zalman CNPS9500 to Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme and reducing the FSB to 1720 (sorry not 1760 as last post) and a multiplier of 9.5 to give 4085Mhz I am now prime stable. The 3dMark06 dropped to around 19800 but with the 0801 bios and CAS set to 7 it is now 20300+. I have a CM Stacker 832 case with 2 120mm fans installed on the right of the side frame blowing onto the NS,SB and DIMMS.
Nuclearjock - I will post my voltage settings when I get home.
Bios settings are as per attached pics ........ Vdim is 1.9v
Just running benches to see if P1 and P2 enabled makes any difference with this bios but don't expect to see any. Pretty happy with these settings for performance and stability especially with 4x1Gb sticks running 1T with a good CPU overclock on air.
Im going to die... because of this crap
Yes have my cards under water (EK Blocks) and my X-Fi in the lowest slot, a bit bend :DQuote:

I installed XP again and when installing nforce, for some reason ethernet drivers wont install, it gets stuck in the middle of the installation. Whats going on?
Is sound card placement crucial when using SLI on this particular board? Using a dual 8800gtx setup with a Prelude X-Fi in the middle PCI slot inbetween the graphics cards. Would placing it in the lowest PCI slot make any difference to avoid any issues?
just installed the 177.26 forceware driver for visitax64 (with modded disp.inf) and and now i'm gaming smooth on my 790I with SLi enabled :)
driver is here ready to install
vistax64 only
i hope they work for you guys
more drivers can be found over at Guru you will need to mod or find your disp.inf for your OS there are more disp.inf modded over at guru aswell

That seems to be some strange issue with the X-FI´s, some ppl got problems with it on 780i & 790i and some don`t. For myself i can say that my X-Fi works without any problem into the middle of the 2 GFX cards (Forceware 175.80)Quote:

To all of us that have a X-FI card and are having lookups in games and crappy sound, maybe worth give this a try:

Fixes:
* Resolves issues of intermittent and random application/system crash when playing games or running applications that use EAX®, DirectSound®, OpenAL and/or ASIO features.
* Resolves issue of volume mapping leading to very soft volume level in systems using Windows Vista with Service Pack 1.
* Resolves issue with distortion and noise occuring in systems with 4 GB of RAM or greater.
You say that the creative drivers don't like to be installed before nvidia drivers. But before that you say you installed the creative drivers first and all's good.Quote:

I just bought a D-Link PCI ethernet card. DGE-530T 10/20/100/1000/2000 Gigabits network card cause I cant tolerate this BS anymore. XP installed 20 times just to get it stuck on ethernet drivers. Give me a break. Even tried 0801, safe mode, Guru3d driver removal but nothing. If for any reason it installs itself, it will tell me, Cant get connection, limited or nule. Nvidia gave me the hardest time in my life with this and adding the SLI issues, this makes the 790i the worse chipset I ever owned. Ill make sure next time I stick to NVIDIA Gfx cards because I dont want to ever deal with nForce or nTune ever again in my entire life. SLI issues were good enough to feel frustrated, add this to that and we have a useless machine which cant even go to the internet.
I have 0801 with my 2 gbpi gskill, and I am still having issues (bsods). I didnt try to install the second pack, it would cause total unstability...
In fact, there hasnt been a bios release that says "enhance memory compatibility"...
Just would like to see some settings of other Q6600 users to compare them with mine, i finally found a primestable setting for my pretested (1.324V @ P35) Q6600:

The SB+NB voltages might be a bit too high, i will try to put them down a bit (or simply somebody say "yes you can do for sure") Oh yes, Bios 0801.
Still waiting for the miraculous BIOS that will fix SLI

What makes you think that because I have 4 hard drives they might be the reason why my SLI freezes? AFAIK, if I was using Tri-SLI, then yes, the SB might have something related but is all on the NB and my pc is Prime95 25+ hours estable.Quote:

I just installed the D-Link DGE-530T that I had to buy because of this stupid nForce drivers that wont install and after 24 hours of no-internet in my Striker II, I just want to play some CS and enjoy what I have rest of this day. Is ironic how this d-link card has the same Marvell chip as the Striker, E881116 lol.
BTW, talking in general, dont count on me on keeping overclocking this system. I had the worse nightmare for 5 minutes (and I was awake). For some reason after installing 0801, I tried 1800 Sync, Linked. When everything seemed to be estable, out of nowhere all my HDDs and Optical drives dissapeared from BIOS!. I have no idea what happened but I was sweating a lot because I thought RMA time, Nooo!, I thought "last chance, load defaults" and that did the trick, but since I have no needs to keep OCing, I prefer not to.
