thats for ROG Connect same as before with ROG motherboard

wow, Hazzan that is the craziest memory profile page:D

Those mem profiles probly will take rams to 2700+:D

Thanks for sharing Hazzan!

Those memory presets are crazy! So much want... :D

Guys....... this Perfect Compact Machine and to many feature hidden on this board....but I sure in later its can be easily unlocked the hidden feature on it :D

wooooow nice pict mas dab :D

OMG those settings are crazy :D just like hazzan! hahahhahah

What hidden feature,something different than lucid feature?

this board is fantastic btw.... :D

bios 0650 with higher dram ratios...DDR3 2933 and 3000

Xtreme tweaking...when enabled may improve some benchmarks performance

is 3k the highest memory divider?

im kinda disappointed that there is no coax over rca SPDIF

I am stoked that there is no NEC Tokin 0E907 decoupling cap nested between the smoothing caps for the power phase, right ontop of the socket. Also memory profiles so sexy :D Gonna have to add one of these to my collection i think.

That board looks fantastic, can't wait to see a MVE

Got that board yesterday and i really like it. Where did u find that bios 0650?

you have one too?

I am out of the loop:)

it is an awesome board, especially with the right cpu/memory.

Awesome run there OC:up:

Info about LB...

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6181/screenshot192u.jpg

Latency Boundary:

Simply put you can set the biggest value of 14 first to find the limitation of your DRAM/CPU after which you can try setting 6 or 9 (which are good compromises between stability and performance) if you think your setup is able to run it.
LB is tied to secondary and tertiary timings
Setting 1 if your ram can keep up..

Thanks Dumo!

The board clocks extremely well. Can boot at 2800mhz+ but my memory has reached its limits, so 2600-2666 is about tops for now.

For my BBSE tRP must be higher (to pass PI32).
Anybody tested BBSE with XMP?

nice to know however I was able to pass 32M with the above settings.

I will try the XMP, I usually never use them so not sure what it sets on Z77.

RipjawsX for SB (mainly PSC /BBSE based )
RipjawsZ for SB-E, quad channel kits usually Hynix and Samsung

i cant believe the ETA on these boards is 30th april here in Aust.
reading these results is literally painful.

Yeah it sux, but they look great, I cant wait to get my hands on one. I might even grab two, one for my water gamer/benching rig and one for dedicated single stage testing/benching.

Good times ahead.

:)

0805 still the latest BIOS for this right?

EDIT - Nevermind, looks like 0880 is the latest now.

Thanks kagula:up:
Mem. used Gskill TridentX 2800

Is the Asus t- topology built into these boards? Or is it for later gen z77?

I'm keen on a formula too depending on its price vs the sniper3

There is so much tweaking that can be done on this board, I can just keep playing around with memory without getting bored.

I put the Samsung 30nm kit back in to try 2600 again. After doing a little reading at KP Forums about the board, I was able to get them benchable at 2600 10-12-12 with Latency Boundary 6, by adjusting the Transmitter, and Receiver Slew. Need to play around with the 2 settings a little, but this seemed to work with this kit. With my GSkill's, the best I can do is LB 8, so the 32m time was a bit slower.

Awesome OC:up:

What combination of trans and rec slews for samsung 30nm? I'll stop by local micro center to get this ram:D

The guide said setting 2 was tyically best for samsung, but I kept failing, so I tried setting them both to 3 and that seemed to do the trick.

Not sure what Im doing yet but this seemed to work.

My next mobo:D

Just got this board, so far I havn't been able to install an os, have tried 6 different os's and 4 drives + various rams in different slots but it refuses to install.
One thing I really do find puzzling though is I've noticed most of you guy's are on 0880 bios, I've just been on the asus download page and it only lists 0602 & 0701 avaliable for download and what's even stanger my board shows 02** (can't remember the other two numbers).

ahci or ide?

ahci, ide and raid

What does it do? Does it post? Can you see the hdd in bios? Windows tries but can't see your disk? Etc etc

This will help greatly.

:)

Yes it post's, I can go into the bios, make changes etc. Can go into the win7 installation menu, can load raid drivers from the disk, but when I try to install there is a message saying something like "setup cannot find any partitions "bla blah blah". Win XP install disk does not even boot at all, bloody wierd:shrug::confused:

I will be flashing to a new bios when I get home (07.00 GMT), hopefully that will sort it out.

sure its not a hard drive error. can you test it on another setup?

The only other setup's I can try are another cpu and other psu, I have another psu but not another cpu, apart from that all the drives + os's were working perfectly with my previous board (asus p8p67 pro b2).

Hers a link with the bioses posted by Shamino over at KP Cooling Forums http://kingpincooling.com/forum/show...20&postcount=1

Thanks, will give it a try later.



***UPDATE****
Problem sorted, I flashed to 0880 and I was able to instal os successfully, thanks all.

http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/q...linxhwinfo.jpg

which one is more accurate?

CPU temp is pretty much heatspreader temp (temp around the socket or so). Very inaccurate when far away from calibration point.
Use Core temps.

I'd stick to RealTemp / CoreTemp.

Hooked up my runmc phase change last night, evap temp stays between -40 and -42c :up:, saw -39c for a few seconds running wprime. 5400mhz max benchable, 5.5 bootable but not benchable, have not hammered it with vcore yet. 2933mhz memory so far with the TeamXtreme 2400mhz kit. Was hoping to play more tonight but the wife has company, and they dont seem to want to leave :mad:

@owikh84 Unless tjmax is 120c I would guess RealTemp is not reading correct. Maybe UncleWeb can help with this.

coretemp user reportin in.

Ive been looking at the 2600mhz kits available, have you tried going any higher? If you do, please post your results.

Playin with my Gene now. Lots of memory settings.

damn, where did you buy the 2800 kit from?

Switched to the Crucial 1866 kit. Cant get them to run very high, but they do fairly tight timings at 2200. First try was 2200 9-9-9 LB 12, second run 2200 9-9-8 LB5.

Needed to set Rec. slew-2 and Trans slew-3, to get Latency Boundary 5 to pass at 9-9-8. With tight timings, lost about 1 second in 32m going from 2600c10-12-12 with the Samsungs to this.

Asus just updated their M5G website to support the Ivy CPU's:

try not going too specific first and just set 2600 ratio with the primary timings desired and set CHA/B Data Vref to 0.500

I got my second CPU a 3770K . But imc looks verry bad ! Same settings with my 3570K is not running . I always get Postcode 23 .

ok now change the settings one by one back to where you were and tell me what caused it to fail? :D

edit
1.88v is vdimm is too much for those sticks under non-ln2 conditions, they get worse at that voltage on air, you sure thats what they like?

Board posted a few times and now won't even make it to BIOS.
Any thoughts?

If I make it to 62 it normally boots. You on latest bios, 0881?

62 says Installation of the PCH Runtime Services.
