790 corruption issues?

[saaya]

The freezes are from "BAD GTLREF & FSB VOLTAGES" I don't know if this is a bug in the base code or the SPP itself or what but certain types of FSB traffic trigger immediate or delayed hangs and adjusting these voltages manually and carefully/methodically COMPLETELY CORRECTS the freezing...

I did some lengthy and thorough testing and charted the problem with a Q6600 @ 1600FSB using a infinite looping 1 minute 1080P X264 file and a stop watch. After endless hours of this I found that with proper MANUAL GTLREF and FSB voltage tweaking I could COMPLETELY correct the freezing or I could also cause the freezing to happen within 2-3 seconds.

(I wonder why it seems no one is paying attention to my posts on the issue)
:facepalm:

hmmm very interesting!
could you post some more details about this?
did you adjust the voltages in bios or with a mod?

Its when the ram starts to fail, not a 790i issue.

i think there are a few dozen people in this thread who wouldnt quite agree with that

i had a chat with mike, quite interesting!
it seems 790 always corrupts during windows shutdown.
from what i understood he can boot at a certain speed that is stable for dual 32m, he can bench etc, without any issues, but when he reboots, when windows shuts down, it corrupts and the next time he boots most of the time the install is busted and wont work or he gets corruption issues once hes in windows.

maybe this helps nvidia to fix the issues, it seems the corruption happens when the system shuts down, not when it boots.
