Hey guys.... wanted to share this with you. I have debated over and over about upgrading from my x58 990x Bloodrage to something newer but... it just keep kicking. Today I upgraded to a Samsung 950...

my community didn't renew website. ex3clan.com is gone :(

Just checked some old emails. 26x was my limit with turbo disabled on the P11 bios. If I enabled turbo then it would go past 33x. I have always had PPM enabled. P11 and G44 are the same bios. I hope...

I think the last beta bios made was the one that worked properly on my 990x..... can't remember its been soooooooooooooooo long

I couldnt get the riser to work but I might pop off a video card and test it on the x8 or x16 slot just for knowledge. I dont think its worth losing a HD6950 for an extra 100MB/s on a SSD drive. Im...

I have seen a few benchmarks in which they ran both cards on a x8/x16 slot and achieved faster speeds. Both cards top out at about 600 MB/s but are restricted to 500 MB/s on the 2.0 x1 slots. I am...

I couldnt get the ribbon to fit underneath the video cards... makes no sense to put 2 pcie 8x slots under 2 16x slots and can't use them!!!!
Any who... I installed the Asmedia card in the 1x slot...

therager is right... i think my second bios is either G42 or P09. I had issues with the P06 out of the starting gate with my 920. Just flash it to the P09 that you had before the P11.

hopefully i get both parts today or tomorrow. im excited to test them out.

good to hear that man.... bad mem can be a pain. i have had the least amount of issues with corsair over the years but it can happen.

did u clear the saved oc setting from before? i cant remember which one but the way the voltage increased changed in one of them. Never use the saved cmos settings for the overclocking.

I will post my results when it comes in. Im going to switch out my Sata III card too. I am going to try SYBA SY-PEX40039 PCI-Express 2.0 SATA III (6.0Gb/s) Controller Card on my setup and see how it...

I am curious on this subject. I have 2 video cards in the 2 red pcie slots. I can't used my other 2 slots due to the design of the board. Has anyone tried this? I want to use this for my bootable...

ok these are the results after installing the Highpoint Rocket 620a card in PCIE x1.

I don't expect anything crazy from the Rocket 620 but I am looking at max 220 read and max 210 write as it is. If I can get closer to 400 then it will work. I am going to wait till the end of 2013 to...

I ordered a Highpoint 620 to try to speed things up. The Corsair Force GS 240 seems kinda sluggish on the intel ports :-( . I am trying to get a lil more time out of this board before doing my next...

Merry Christmas

I went ahead and ordered the Corsair Force GS 240gb model for Newegg. I also ordered 6gb sata cables to just in case. I haven't ordered a sata 3 card, but it is still an option.

Thanks,
CXP

@ zanzabar - thank you for the reply. good to know.

I didn't buy it. I am kinda stuck on the fact the board is only Sata II. I am considering buying an PCI-E Sata III card but don't see much info...

Can this run on the Bloodrage? I have, I believe, the lastest beta bios. I see newegg has them for $150. I am thinking of treating myself since I haven't upgraded since last xmas.

Thanks in advance

i can't remember what I have but check my sig

P11 allows the multi to go past 26x with turbo on with the 990x. Voltages match from bios to cpuz which didnt on G44. Not sure about effects on 970.

G44 will work for 990x. P11 works better for 990x... I would start with P11 for the 970.

U have to change power settings in registry. Enable ULPS = 0 if not it will crash every change u make.

Unwinder posted about not using CCC overdrive in conjunction with AB... meaning the power control is should not be used due to compatibility issues.
On AB My MHz on core go to 1320 and mem goes to...
