Which version are you using now?

Which version are you using now?

Not sure if that was directed to me, but if so, I used 1707, 1604 and 0021. I've been trying to push double-sided MFR to 2800 and need C12 but I get code 55 every time. C11 will boot oddly enough, but it isn't stable enough to bench. MSI Mpower Z77 works fine with them at C12 2800, enough for Super Pi 1M.

[Raja@ASUS]

Try setting CAS Write Latency manually.

Try setting CAS Write Latency manually.

Tried that already, should be set to 9 for Cas12. Code 55 either way.

[Alex-Ro]

Most likely a RTL setting problem,you guys should check what values you have on other mobo's when setting CAS12,easiest way to see is memtweakit timings#2.Then manually set in maximus bios exactly same values(tcl,twcl,rtl,rtl delay) and it should work.

[Shiranui Gen-An]

I decided to hook my MVE back up, and this happened.



After reconnecting everything I booted into the BIOS to try 2800 again and I noticed the settings were already there and then I realized it was running at 2800. At first I didn't believe it as I've had times where I manually set my speeds, timings etc but booting into Windows everything was at stock, so I imagined that happened here. Turns out it didn't, it really did boot into Windows with the RAM at 1400MHz C12. I even managed Super Pi 32M whereas I could only manage 1M with the MPower. The only thing I can think of that I did differently was to connect the FDD power connector to the board. As for how the two mobos set RTLs:

MPower


MVE

Try 1908. If it's not that it might be some weird ME fw corruption.

Life has been crazy, & I just got around to trying to fix this.

1908 doesn't work. I still have the same issue after bios updating. I've tried updating the IME & chipset. The first & third slots work for video. I guess I'll have to RMA the board.

hello

Raja@ASUS

is asus stop bios development for P8Z77-i dlx ? i need a new one

thanks

[Raja@ASUS]

What do you need a new UEFI for? You may contact ASUS support with any issues and take it through there if you have a bug to report.

[Davids40]

for exemple since bios 0704

The bluetoth controller can not be disabled. Also if it is switched off from BIOS, it's always detected by Windows.

[Raja@ASUS]

I'd go via ASUS support for that.

What do you need a new UEFI for?

Would be nice to have Intel Microcode Update 19 for IB CPUs, we are still on 17, and 19 has been out since June.

[Raja@ASUS]

We only make the updates if we have to. Some of them screw memory clocking or have impact on required VCC. Which gets more complaints than thanks. If you still want to pursue that, contact ASUS Support.

That's unfortunate.

ok for ASUS support

Doubtful. This thread is for ASUS motherboards.

[CrazyNutz]

I can't get SLI to work. Windows 7 won't see the 2nd card.

Anyone fix the issue of the second pcie 16x (pciex16_2) slot not working on p8z77? I have the same problem, and Iv'e seen a lot of reports of this issue but no resolution.

would love to get my second hd7870 doing something.

[Raja@ASUS]

Maybe check the CPU socket for misaligned pins (left/south side of socket is mainly PCIe.)

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have checked the CPU socket, i did not see any bent pins. I just picked up a asrock board to replace it, I was afraid if I got another p8z77 it would have the same issue since iv'e read numerous reports of people replacing this board and the issues remain. when i get it swapped out ill do some more testing/investigating with the board.

I am most likely a few versions back when it comes to the bios. Is the MAXIMUS V EXTREME BIOS 1903 stable and prefered bios?
And is there a way to reload my current settings after doing a bios update AND factory reset? Will the saved bios OC profiles still work?

Whichever UEFI is on the support page will be the latest official release.

Saved profiles won't carry over, you will need to re-enter all settings. UEFI updates and changes sometimes alter various parameters so profiles are wiped (best to start again to avoid any potential conflicts).

I'm planning to SLI 2 nVidia GTX 680 on an Asus P877V-LK board. Would I have any room anywhere to fit my Creative XFI PCI sound card?

[Raja@ASUS]

Looking at board layout, you have an X1 slot above the primary PCIe X16 slot.
