That's fine, these newer builds display that.

Thanks. Is there an eta for a fix?

Where?

[Budwise]

I went to the Asus Website, went to the motherboard, downloads tab, its there.

Hmmm...shows 1015 as the latest for me.

I mistyped, i meant 1015, my apologies.

No, I don't think this needs patching, it is just the way it is.

Does anyone know if Asus is making a Rampage board with 4 PCI-E x16 slots. Even if only 2 will run at 16x and the other 2 at 8x.

Cna't say too much on this at the mo, it really depends on demand.

Hi Raja,

Another issue to report with megaraid. I have installed Nvidia 690 and that makes megaraid vanish from all slots except first full speed slot, put back in 7970 and it comes back.

[NoGuru]

Hi Raja, just want to say you and Asus are doing an awesome job. It's far to often you hear what is wrong with this or that and not what's right, so thank you!

I wish my Megaraid would work in ANY slot...

I have reported the LSI card issue to HQ, so await them to patch. Not sure on timeline.

well what wrong for new Z77 mobo about bios recovery if we setting for OC and stuck at Debug code 10, it'll can't recovery after press power button to turn off
and turn again it still stuck at code 10 same time and loop boot up always. but if stuck at other code oc recovery still working

Thanks

What setting in the bios do I need to set in order for my cpu to reduce voltage when idle?

I'm using manual mode, I don't want to use offset mode, because it's giving me problems, I don't like the fact that when you lower the offset voltage it also lowers the voltage when the multiplier is at 16, plus when I reduce the offset by -5 and reboot the voltage is at 1.026 which is not enough for my 3570k 4.5ghz overclock, which causes the bios to freeze

I did disable Asus Multicore Enhancement and enable Intel speedstep, my core multiplier is down clocking, but the voltage is not, any ideas?

Is offset mode the only thing I can use to lower my voltage when idle?

For decreased VCORE at idle Offset Mode does need to be used. Using a combination of offset voltage and a particular LLC range you should be able to find settings that will give acceptable idle and fully loaded voltages.

[jackbrennan2008]

I run my 2600k @ 4.5Ghz with offset voltage and it works fine. Asus multicore enchancement is disabled and all power saving features are enabled.

Have a play with the offset voltage as it's a very useful way of managing your overclock

Raja quick question after a failed and resetting CMOS, upon booting into the bios I notice that vccio, vccsa, vcore are at high values (1.25vccsa 1.35 vccio 1.38vcore) until I do a load optimized defaults and then everything is back to true default voltages.

Mine does this too, but what is the question?

sorry what I meant to say was this an issue with 0881 or this just normal behavior?

I will flash the latest 0078 tonight and test again.

[NoGuru]

Yeah, it is normal to shoot the volts up, probably just to boot. Every time I clear CMOS it will show those volts on the first boot no matter what BIOS version you run.

I have a card reader Akasa AK-ICR-07U3. When connected to the USB connector Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe computer either does not start (error b4) or runs a very long time. After disconnecting the reader everything works fine.

I will report this to HQ. Patch could be a while if they can get the card. Some card readers do create detection issues during POST.
