My Dual Harper - Asus Z7S WS living review *56K warning*

[minhgi]

Just order 2 set of these. It is very similar to your ram cooler. I hope it work just as good as the Hr-07.

[jcool]

Yeah that should work. Just remember you need thick thermal pads to make up for the height difference between the AMB socket/chip and the ram ICs.

There is a Fry's Electronic here in the US that carry just about ever things an enthusiast needs and be happy. I would have to hit them up for the thermal padding.

Thanks for the advice.

STEvil,

I hope you don't mind me stealing your Asus logo.

Feel free

Anyone else who wants it can use it as well

hey Asus-guy!
Any word on a non-beta/final version of the latest BIOS 0105?

[jcool]

I think he withdrew into the shadows in sight of all the Asus-bashing going on here

[ZIO]

I didn't see him (the asus rep) offer anything to anyone, including but not limited to promises of an upgraded Z7S without the failure rate. A fixed MB would have been ok with me. Maybe one without the overheating NB? I think the big corporation sent him in here for some damage control to quell the loudest of this group.

Hmm, I might have to adopt that image as well. 5 Striker RMA's were a little much for me...

Hey guys I put it on its own photobucket account so mine wont get overloaded rofl



feel free to pass it around, anyone can use it

After 1 pointless RMA to Asus, I gave up on them entirely. Sigged! Oh, and 2000th post...

the sig is a work in progress and might be worth something in the future like fine art.

[STEvil]

Just got my rig oc to 3ghz. The memory cooler did the trick. Memory temperature now in the 40C.

[minhgi]

Hey GUys,

Now that I am able to push to 3GHZ, my PC would randomly shutdown. SOund like a under supply power issue. SO I went out a bought a Enermax REVOLUTION 85+ 950Ws online. That bad boyz is sure expensive. Supposedly it have 87+ AC to DC rating. One of the best PS in the world I guess. Going for 450 FSB next project after the PS comes in.

I also notice an improve response on my system after running my system at 1600FSB with snoop filter enable. Try it with w/o SF too at the same FSB. Seem to be better with SF enable. I guess the improve bandwidth enable the SF to work correctly this time. Maybe my brain is playing trick but the games sure does play better overall.

Any one here wants and unwanted 750watts PS with full cables and box.

[Jaco]

the option is called 'Snoopfilter Bypass' , so by enabling this option the snoopfilter is disabled . At least that's my understanding .

[jcool]

Yes, that's right. Performance is approx. 50% worse with SF bypass option disabled. See post 1, first line

I see....my snoop filter had been change since firmware update to.501

Notin new there...its had been a year since I read the first post. oop

[Snootch]

Yes, I do like to play games, but it is not my #1 priority. As my Q6600 sits now with it's single 8800GTX, I am satisfied with it's performance in playing Crysis. If I have to give up SLI/Crossifre support & OC capability to get multi-core multi-thread power for encoding, then so be it. I won't lose any sleep over it. Again, a big thanks to you all for steering me in the right direction! I'll post in the right section illustrating my build when I get all the parts.

As promised: http://sites.google.com/site/ultimatehtpc/

Again, thanks to everyone for steering me away from the Z7S for a new machine... This new build rocks!

Did you try to mod the bios of this board? I used AMIBCP and found some disabled/hidden options (CPU ratio CMOS setting, etc).

download AMIBCP from this thread (look for Bios Tools Pack)
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/showthread.php?t=529

[jcool]

Erm.. there already is a CPU ratio setting in Bios. No need to unlock that.. what I would like to unlock, on the other hand, is CPU VTT voltage.. but that can't be done, apparently. Would need a hard mod.

[STEvil]

Yeah we already covered that poki.

the board is a POS though so no point in digging for new bios options really.

Hey guys, been watching this thread for a loooong time. I've been running a Z7S WS since May 2008 and when I first found this thread it made me nervous. Thankfully I have had zero issues with mine (knock on wood). I've run it from day one with a HiPer 880W PSU, modified (to fit the AMB) MassCool aluminum heatsinks on the RAM, and Arctic Cooling PWM fans all around. I don't know if that is what is making the difference in my case or if maybe I just got lucky, but there it is. I have left the machine running for literally months at a time. The reason for this is that I travel away from home quite a bit and I still like to have access to my Outlook and Quickbooks data. I also use Media Center + Orb to keep up with my shows on Adult Swim while I'm away.

Anyway my intent is not to brag. Actually the reason I am finally posting is to ask if anyone has abandoned their Z7S and maybe has some Kingston HyperX KHX6400F2LLK2/2G FB-DIMMs sitting around that they want to get rid of.

Thanks!

[Syndil]

Wow, that was fast. I've purchased 4 HyperX FB-DIMMs from an Xtremesystems.org member, but I'd still like two more for a full set. Anyone else have a pair sitting around, collecting dust?
