Can you run CAS Latency ( tCL ) 5 with BIOS 0512 mate ?

[funkflix]

Pushed my hardware close to the limits and teh system worked just great! Surfed a while in the net with those settings after the benches and had no strange things happen! Love that board!



This are my new 24/7-Settings with P03R2:


(Vdimm is 1.948V)

I can see some people are getting nice FSB. Also, whats up with this new BIOS? hopefully it is some fix to current problems that are going around.

Just out of curiosity what are some of you shooting for as far as 24/7 Frequencys on water? I'm really pretty new to Intel, and I'm not sure what I should shoot for for my 24/7 OC. I was thinking 4 GHZ... is that too steep? I have it running pretty stable, just need to work out a few kinks with WOW crashing, im Prime95 Stable for 12 hours so far.

Im looking at at least 4.5 I HAD A QX6700 AT 3.6 WITH NO PROBLEMS
THIS SETUP SHOULD DO FAR BETTER



IF I COULD GET SOME HELP WITH OVERCLOCKING IT

[RX7boricua]

I'm hoping for 4.2-4.5 with my current water setup once I toss in this QX9650 and S2E. I'm currently priming a friend's 9650 at 3.82ghz under a Xigmatek, and it's running 70,70,75,75 degC. I needed 1.38 vcore for this. I hope the chip I just got for my rig does better than this.

[antoine76]

I can't go in bios now on my xfx RMA ?

[3oh6]

32M runs not stable settings ... what we need, i can do some stupid screens at high FSB too (with E8400) but for what, when system is not Prime95 (OCCT) stable?

CPU-Z validation at 565FSB

there, now will you shut up already about the reference board being inferior to the Asus?

[faina77]

Hi guys,

I have some problem with OCZ PC12800, I'm not stable to 1600x9.5 and 1600 7-6-6-19, and RS to 1601x9.5 and 1600 7-7-7-19 with 0511
Today flash 0512 or flash ram spd.

Hi guys,

I am struggling with my newly bought hardware to get it stable.
I have s2e, tested with bios 0507 and 0512.
I cannot get any fsb > 375 and < 450 to be stable.
I just won't go past POST or get a BSOD while windows is loading.

FSB 450 is stable but I need to use high voltage:
PLL 1.5V
FSB 1.5V
MEM 2.0V
NB 1.7V
SB 1.5V
fsb 1800 with memory linked, CPU is 450*8 = 3.6GHz.

I could pass Orthos with no error for 6+ hours.
I tried to set the memory at 1800 unlinked (keeping the QDR at 1333) and the performance was awful: everest read give 8.3GB/s when I get 9.3GB/s with memory linked and synched at 1333 and 12.3GB/s with memory linked at 1800.
P1 and P2 are enabled.

Oh nooes.
I ran memtest86+ to check that my corsair dominator dimms were ok.
And I get multiple errors for one of the 2 modules, always in the same range of adresses.
I tried to set fsb back at 1333, and reset the timings to auto (relaxed at 9-9-9-24), and no errors.
If I set memory at 1800, I get errors with 7-7-7-20 and even 8-8-8-24 timings. Memory voltage is 2.0V.

What the hell?! Arent the modules supposed to be tested in factory?!
What do you guys think? Did I get real bad modules or could it be something wrong with my OC on the 790i?

I'm confused.

[OBR]

is there some problem with data corruption in bios 0512? I want to put SIIE back to rig, but i am affraid about my another disk (i have one dead from SIIE).

[pmp]

nothing bad happened to me whilst using 0511 neither 0512. 0512 finally have P1/P2 options available

I'm currently using 0507 + 0511, and I have the P1/P2 options ( don't know if they really work though )

Weird. With 0508 i had previously on my daily rig, i didn't noticed P1/P2. :|

I'm not quite sure if it was there in 0508.
But it surely is there in 0511.
Will have to check back later

[slim142]

When are we going to get an official non-beta BIOS release?

[GAR]

P04 should be available tommorow

[slim142]

P04 should be available tommorow

Is that posted on the eVGA forums?
Im want to see that changelog sooooo bad!, the bad news is for the SIIE owners... even when they been getting beta bios files every week, that is not enough for some of them.

How come a new BIOS release is good news for the eVGA owners, and bad news for the Asus owners ? [/QUOTE]

It should be out tommorow, no later than friday
