The settings are applied when you boot Windows, and should therefore provide a much safer method than the motherboard's C'n'Q operation. Hopefully it will fill all your needs...
A little late now don't ya think............... I've tried Rightmark on several boxes with little success........
I wouldn't know...............Quote:

Not to nitnick, but we also need people who have working Expert or RDX boards to report in ;)Quote:

so if we own the org release of this mb how do we get a newer revision? i have the org release like may of you and mine wont let me change the voltages it will only work if i leave it on auto. with all the dead cpus from this mb im not about to go trying to figure out why its not allowing me to adjust the voltages. for now i just put my ultra-d back in until things get sorted out. will DFI rma this mb for me? kinda sucks to have 200 bucks tied up in somthing your afraid to use... i gues i can look at the bright side of things atleast its only 200 bucks and not a 1000 dollar cpu..
thx perc,
Ok. So far, so good. Building a new system using expert board with my old 3200 and OCZ rev 2 TCC5, running 10x250 at stock volts. Had no problems with initail start up. Haven't yet had a chance to see if I can get a higher overclock, still installing all my apps. This chip was 3d stable at 2.8, and prime stable at 2.65. Using shipping bios. Temps do seem way low, though. My case temp is 26C and SG is showing idle at 22C, lolQuote:

In that posting it was said that the revision number that is on the sticker on one PCI slot only indicates the BIOS version installed. That all Expert boads so far are the exact PCB, at that there's no way to tell newer chipsets from the revision number.
How the latter plays with the cuts we have seen on some but not all Experts I'd say is a good question/
No, I don't remember where exactly that posting was. But "expert" and 'revision" as search terms might do it quickly.
What board revisions are there so far?
I just received my Expert and i think...if i'm reading the right spot at least my revision is AAO? :S
Well once the board goes up in smoke and takes a 170 with it, it's a little late........ Read the rest of the thread.Quote:

I had read the rest of the thread, but wasn't sure exactly what you were referring to. Thanks for clarifying.Quote:

I get the same behaviour on my SLI-DR
It was suggested by AG @ the street to not use S3 when O/C'd on the regular boards and the same should apply to the expert
why? id just like to know how many people with dead boards there are, we all know that most boards work totally fine, but nobody knows how many boards have died already. 12? 25? 40?Quote:

i always run RAM in slots closer to CPU....so 1 and 3Quote:

Well, it's a poll and people use the number to figure how much of a chance there is that a random board blows something up.Quote:

k, lets make a new list with just the dead/faulty boards/cpus/memory then :PQuote:

its not that theres a fixed percentage of boards that goes belly up, at least thats not what it looks like if you ask me.
Instead of letting this thread slide off topic or get conjested with alot of "I haven't had a problem" post, how 'bout someone just starting a poll thread we can monitor.......:)Quote:

I wonder if DFI engineers have been able to reproduce this issue yet on the Expert? At this point I guess we aren't really sure what excatly the issue even is. Can anyone at X possibly get some sort of interim statement from Oscar Wu? Even a "don't do this" or "set this to xxx" while they are investigating would go a long way to help.
