Got a Costa Rica 3244D195 3770k at the weekend and its a pig.

Needs 1.325vcore just to get 4.4Mhz stable. I was pushing for x45 but gave up at 1.425. Atleast the temperatures werent too crazy. I...

Bios 1616 is out now for P8Z77-v

Thanks for the info! food for thought. I've just removed it for now. :up:

How you finding running Asus turboV evo and Aida64? I had to completely un-install AI suite as it was causing polling clashes with Aida64 and making the PC unstable. In fact the pc would often trip...

Thanks for a more detailed response.

Don't get me wrong I love the product but it seems like greater resilience 'could' have be built into the AI suite to have it work nicely with other 3rd party...

Yeah but its still tripping the anti surge protection with probe 2 uninstalled from AI suite.

Its not just the voltages - it has also told me I have a negative degrees C motherboard temp.

Note...

Yeah I've experienced the same issues with AIDA64 and a P8Z77-V. I've made a post on the Asus forums and received the same advice - to only use one monitoring software. Its does seem a bit weak...

Things are improving. Maybe it was a combination of the long flight home I had before installing the board and being unfamiliar with the UEFI/ Asus UI. I am back and running at 4.6Mhz. Have left the...

New P8Z77-V owner.

Installed motherboard yesterday and it hasn't been plain sailing. I am coming from a p67 board and using a 2500k. Nothing has changed but the motherboard. I am used to 4.6 with...

Well it was a close run thing - but I just plumbed for a p8z77-v. I am a huge Asrock fan having loved their P67 Ex4, but I came from an Asus deluxe on 775 (which I also loved) and when it came to...

Wow those results with oc'ing 2500k on z77 are surprising, also the heatsink maybe. I may swing for a ex6 after all - there's actually quite a jump from a ex4 to ex6 in japan.

Its always good to...

I wonder if the Ex4 p67/z68 asrock heatsinks would fit?

Hmm.. I think its generally a good cut about bloatware - but you don't use it which is your choice. (I've had one of these boards well over a year and only just getting round to toying with it.)

Had a quick search but couldn't find much discussion about the xfast LAN or xfast Ram utilities. Are people actually using these? they appear to offer some nice benefits. However I've a few questions...

Ket did you disable the aggresive link state option in the Bios under the ACHI?

I've just had my second BSOD - stutter, freeze then Crash. Without doubt related to the SSD.

I've also added to...

Anyone else running a Sata3 Sandforce 2281 SSD and this motherboard?

I've recently added one - Corsair GT series. Had great results with a OCZ Vertex 2LE (Sata2) and performance appears to be...

12GB fully installed and playing nicely together so far. Knocked it down to 2T so there's an extremely minor drop in benches for the time being.

Goodbye page file! hah.

Hmm in answer to my own question and confirmation from Gskill forum.. we dont sell them in kits for no reason... Guess its going to be a crap shot if they play together..

Quick question regarding RAM... (i tried to use the search function but it was too damn slow returning results)

I've just bought a Ripjaw 8 GB kit. (so 2*4Gb). I currently have a 4GB kit installed...

I have one core consistently lower than the other three. I am more inclined to disbelieve the sensor reading (or software) rather than the IHS isn't functioning properly.

NH-d14 £65.39 at scan.co.uk. 2 fans and 10g tube of decent TIM. It ain't as expensive a cooler as some think.

But great write up Ket.

Noctua Nh-d14 sell the fans on ebay and go passive!

I am wondering is the MMIO option needs enabling when the O/s is first installed.

Official 1.80 Bios wiped saved profiles for me. WTF? I thought they'd solved that - or is there something new which meant all profiles needed to be created a new?

2X2GB FTW @ 1600Mhz. All you'll ever need in most cases - unless you're going to use a RAM drive or specific RAM apps.
