nForce 790i SLI/Ultra chipset mobos - Reviews/OC/Guides

[saaya]

Saaya, if the new program SPD in my memoirs Cell-Shock then I worked well the other motherboars (X48, X38, etc.)? A greeting.

si, con el spd mas acutal deberia funcionar en cualquier placa madre con cualquier BIOS. si la placa madre no arranca con ese spd, algo esta mal con el BIOS pues, o se quemo algo en el sistema

just started Prime but it will run for days like that.
Ram left on auto but I would wind it back in.

LMAO! 8-12-12? does it need trcd and tras that high? :o

I am having a real hard time getting any kind of OC on this board. The max FSB I can do on my QX9650 is 350. Any thing over that, I cannot even run SPI 1M!!!!. Here are my parts

try just a single hdd, if possible even IDE.
i suspect something is up with the SATA ports on that board...
How high can you get in bios or memtest without a hdd connected to the board?

A trend forming anyone?
On another subject I have flashed my EVGA 790i with the P03R2 BIOS, and the memory performance is on par with the ASUS S2E!!!
However the BIOS will not post with FSB past 425Mhz when restarting the system (including after save setting & exit BIOS menu), only boots from power off. Very strange...
Oh well can't complain too much I guess
Now just the droop mod...

fsb hole?
did you try to jump higher by 10 or 20mhz fsb? :/
maybe that helps...
and more chipset voltages maybe?
the new bios seems to be more agressive so maybe it needs higher volts...
hmmmmm

One of the things I hate about the eVGA is the vdroop and vcore problems...
Well as someone else said before... I guess Loadline Calibration makes some people buy it hehe

well, does it really matter?
as long as you CAN get the vcore you want, i dont see a problem.
if vcore is higher in idle than load... i couldnt really care less as long as its where i want it to be under load and its stable there

Q9300 tested, and max FSB i reached is 480MHz ... 500MHz dont work ...

hmmmm with what multi? 6x?
did you notice any fsb holes?

EVGA droop >>> ASUS Data corruption + random BSOD

I have both boards, but maybe I've just got a ty ASUS board, giving me more grief then EVGA is giving me droop. (if that makes any sense... )

hmmmm this sounds just like 680 all over again to me...
both reference and asus boards seem to have roughly the same strengths and weaknesses.

i corrupted both SATA and IDE drives

reason = too agreesive RAM timings heheh

on 790 you mean? are you sure it was the mem?
fubarswe said the speeds were 100% stable with an IDE drive, so it must have to do something with the sata ports...

Like Dinos said with P1 and P2 enabled thanks to 3/14 bios (thx eternal) i have big memory boost!
I gain over one minute in Pi32mo and memory bandwitch is over 12400mo/s (with 4Go and 2T), before with P03 if i increase FSB past 400mhz performance were worst.

what memspeed and timings is that with?
you mean everest read bandwidth right?
nice results!
