790 corruption issues?

[bingo13]

i really really dont like that FAQ...
it sounds like only anandtech had this problem, and it sounds like it only happens if you try really strange fsb/dram combinations that dont really make sense to run... and they say 1600 is out of spec? but at the same time they advertize 790 as ddr3 2000 capable?

and they say a bios was released that fixed the problem.
thats not true... they make it sound like the issue was fixed a long time ago, when its still happening! the situation has improved, but the problem is not solved!

That text is for the P05 BIOS that was released last week. We had it earlier than that for testing and it resolved the majority of data corruption problems we could replicate on a consistent basis (400/1600 was repeatable). I am still testing it, but for the data corruption problems that were consistent in our testing, they are fixed. I am sure there can be other instances where data corruption can still occur because the GTLRef/VTT tables are still not quite correct.

ASUS, starting with BIOS 0703 has implemented some of the base code from NVIDIA, a full update will not occur until next week from all indications. With 0703, increasing SPP and MCP voltages slightly while manually tuning GTLRef helped solve about 95% of the repeatable corruption problems we had.

As far as the first line of the text, NVIDIA knows other users have had this problem, our name is on it as we seemed to be the only "website" that reported our findings to them. It appears that telling the emperor he is not wearing any clothes is difficult for some. I find it funny that certain websites dismissed our claims and a few hours later, NVIDIA admits there is a problem and releases a BIOS update for it.
