Official eVGA 780i Discussion/Review/Overclock/Guide Thread

Not sure where you got the impression we are discussing x38 MoBo's. My problem IS with a 780i MoBo. If I mentioned x38 MoBo's, it was in reference to an issue I had with two x38's I got BEFORE the 780i.

This is in no way a discussion about the x38 (or any other MoBo's).

My issue is with SATA DVD writers and the 780i board. When an application trys to use the SATA DVD writer, I will sometimes get the BSOD. The error that comes up is with nvgts.sys. This is the MoBo driver set (I assume for the drive controllers).

The other issue I now have discovered is that when I try to actually write to the SATA DVD writer (with Convertx2DVD in this case, which I think is using the Nero drivers), the application says preparing to write and a time to finish. The time to finish keeps Increasing! And when I cancel, the entire application hangs and the machine will not restart, I often have to power off.

Any one else seeing this issue? I am at the point of trying a IDE drive to see if I get the same issue.

read the first post of the evga 780i thread......we have discussed this in that thread.

Thanks guys.... so what do some of you all set these GTLVREF lanes to? I'm setting mine back to auto. I dont see the point. Some have said it makes it unstable but poo. I will see with prime95.

Also is cpu fsb voltage the same thing as NB? How do I adjust my NB voltages?

What is NVMEM test? Is this a good memory testing tool? I have EVGA 780i with 2X2 OCZ reaper DDR2 800 4-4-4-15 @2.2

Also I tried to download memtest but it says I cant because it's not compatible with 64 bit OS or something like that.

What, that this is a 780i board discussing? Or that there are issues with SATA drives on this MoBo. Further update, verified that the IDE burner works just fine, no change to software, so I have sent a note to eVGA to see what they say about it. There shouldn't be a problem with mixing optical drives and a RAID array.

eVGA has just informed me that this is a known issue with the 780i boards. They also advised me that a BIOS update is in the works to fix this issue.
