790 corruption issues?

[saaya]

first of all thanks to everybody for all the feedback!

my opinion now its one of the best chipsets for ddr3...

well with intel p35/x38/x48 beeing virtually identical besides the amount of pciE lanes, there are 2 chipsets on the market for ddr3... and yes, id say 790 is one of the best hehehe

2 x 32GB Mtron Pro 7000 Series 2.5" SSD 120Gb/s 90Gb/s RAID0 32Kb stripe size
Areca 1231DML SATAII RAID Controller 2Gb DDR2-533 Cache

oooooohohohoho, so your one of THOSE guys then... i see, i see

[QUOTE=eternal_fantasy;2892631]Upon closer tweaking/inspection, corruption happens when the FSB is altered from their default value (i.e. 333). Running the system at different CPU multiplier, the memory linked/unlink has no relevance.
Setting the system at a VERY relaxed settings:
350FSB, 9xMulti, 1400Mhz 8-7-6-21 1.9V Memory.
Windows were installed with default settings, and once installation completed, a system files integrity check was performed. Once the system files are found to be intact the above settings are applied. ORTHOS and OCCT are ran, 2 hours pass without error, system were restarted several times, 3DMark06 ran, system BSOD on 3rd run, after system restarted, system file integrity check ran. System files found corrupted.

Many people seem to feel their S2E is stable because they ran ORTHOS/OCCT for 6+ hours etc, but ORTHOS/OCCT don't access corrupted critical system files causing BSOD. Unless a system files integrity check is performed, you can not be sure your system is corruption free. I can do exactly the same thing, posting hours of ORTHOS runs with Screenshot of CPU-Z showing 4.05Ghz CPU, 450FSB, 1800-7-7-6 Memory. Followed by a . And maybe even a . BUT all of those are mute points when data are corrupted by the motherboard, which may not be obvious to the user in the beginning.
A screenshot of a scan for system file integrity should also accompany screenshot of your system settings after at least a few hours since the overclock settings has been applied, after some system restarts and stability test runs.

hmmmmm

To check if your system contains corrupted data:
System file integrity scan:
- search for "cmd"
- right click-run as administrator
- type in "sfc /scannow"
after scanning it will tell you if your windows is corrupted and weather it was able to fix the corrupted data(most probably not).

interesting, thanks for the guide! so windows might be corrupted but you dont notice it? could it be its corrupted yet you can boot fine and run almost all apps wituout issues?

and the evga board doesnt cause corruption for you?
could you have a dud S2E? could you try an RMA and check if the replacement board maybe works?

jody, your using the evga board or the S2E?
about P35... its the same as x38, its just that x38 was launched later = more recent chipset = better ocing results. same for x48...
im not 100% sure, but pretty much 90%...

dinos, is your board a reference reference board?
its from nvidia and an early sample, are you sure its identical to evga and xfx boards?

This thread should really be about data corruption with none or moderate overclocking that would otherwise be absolutely stable on another platform.

yes, maybe i should have made this more clear in the first post. but its still interesting to see that other than on intel chipsets where unstable memspeeds just crash or freeze the system, here with this chipset the install seems to get completely corrupted.

dose the 790i have the same sb as the 680/780i if so then that shouldent be trusted from the start

or is this looking like ram

thats true... isnt it using a last gen SPP or MCH as sb?
