Have you tryed any different boards?Quote:

Hi guys! Please help me. I bought the UD5 board today with i920 and I have a GTX285 videocard. My question why is my videocard going into and out of 3D mode when using explorer and windows :S Its annoying plus the videocard makes this horrible hissing sound from components when in 3D and to have it regulary in 2D is just awful plus it should not go to 3D in windows!
And what is the best bios for this board right now and where to get it?
Can you actually notice it going in and out, or are you just obsessing on the temp app? I ask, because mine go in and out, and I don't notice it unless I'm starting at Precision tuner app.Quote:

I mean I have never ever had this problem in 2D with other systems, today I buy a X58 system and pow, i get the videocard sounds in Windows 2D. And with Rivatuner I see the clocks going up and down like crazy just while opening a IE windows or smth. WTF..........
nothing to do with the X58, i7 or rivatuner. It's 100% GTX285. Either suck it up or RMA it. :up:Quote:

hey guys, i need a bit help please,
how do i know if my i7 920 reached his max blck? i just oced my 920 to 4200 mhz and when i run 3mdark my screen is flickering like hell. but no bluescreens at all.
btw, which voltage do i have to raise when i want to reach higher bclk frequency?
thanks
I just put together my friends new computer.
Comments and suggestions especially for reducing ddr3 latencies would be appreciated.
I was hoping to get ddr latency down to 40ns or less.
I have OCZ PC3-12800 1600Mhz with a XMP profile for 1600 and 1866 Mhz.
DDR on Extreme with 40-6-6-12-88-6-24-1 and 6-6-8-9-9-9-6-5-1-6-6-1 subsettings with 56-57-58 round trip set.
All cpu options including turbo are disabled except multi processor support.

It's a driver issue if it doesn't go in and out of 3d mode not a card issue.

After tonnes of research and testing (i've tried underclocking my gpu, increasing its fan speed, changed power setup, etc).... I have tentatively concluded it is a RAM issue. Just watching a movie last night with Windows Media Player an error message popped up "Insufficient RAM to run application" and then nvlddmkm errors started up again. I have 9gb, so no way in hell thats accurate, but even windows task bar on the side said that my RAM was 95% utilized and pc was just chugging away (no other apps running). :shrug:Quote:

EDIT: I was just looking online to see what new Corsair RAM would set me back and I noticed that at 1600 the RAM modules are spec'd to run at 1.65V VDIMM. I have my BIOS set to 1.540V. I think I should maybe try bumping the voltages up before going out and spending money.
EDIT: Found a trojan on my box last night. sigh. Prepping a BART PE disc at work today to see what else found its way on. Man, diagnosing system issues is almost impossible. Is it the OC / Voltage / Nvldmmkm driver issue / RAM fault / Trojan activity? But in a way, also kind of fun.
I get all 5 leds on at 4.0Gig and at 3.8 i get 4 leds on. I get the lights flashing on and off like crazy on cold boot at 4.0 Gig so i am back at 3.8 at the min untill i can do a bit more tweaking but volts at 4.0 gig will run prime stable at 1.425 volts , i have been reducing it and priming it and i am suprised how low its going.Just need to get over this initial startup problem , i am on F5 bios ,is this any good or is this why i have this issue?Quote:

There are much smarter people then I here though, so hopefully they can help you out. But you might want to try F5G and see what happens, as that seems to be the current flavour of choice (aside from the F4J holdouts).Quote:

Ok i have pined down the problem i have with every bios higher then F6a.. semes theres a bug when i put qpi voltage higher then 1.30V (the last setting berfore 1.3V is 1.295V).
If i go one notch over 1.3V i get the boot issue. GB said they fixed it, but it seems they haven't.
Cause i can boot with 150mhz blck (3ghz) with 1.295V qpi voltage but can't with 1.315+.... duh.. GB get your stuff fixed -_-|.
Have you tried leaving your qpi as auto and just set your ram to 1.9v? You have to remember that for whatever reaseon the memory needs to be .5v higher than the qpi or it will become very unstable. If I have time tonight I will put f6c back on the xtreme and test this again. I have gone up to 2.0v on the ram and the qpi set to auto runs up to 1.5v's. mind you I don't think that this would be good long term though!Quote:

looks like a good cpu :) just had to tell, get max 60c loaded. be back later :)
I found F5g needed lower VCore and QPi/vtt voltages for the same overclock than subsequent bios releasesQuote:
