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

[raptor1]

Hi! All

I've had enough - I have been more or less stable for the last week or so- but as usual this board has a mind of it's own

on a warm reboot reboot the hard disk light on the mb would come on and stay on and I would need to power off manually

on booting up the bios would say "last post interupted please run setup and load defaults" and my memory timings would have changed from 2T to 1T which I know this board won't boot up with any way, at least it would not for me at any time

I go in to bios and reload my oc profile and save and then it would boot up again

I have cleared the cmos and reflashed with 0704 with awdflash and still no good

on taking the board apart to put it away in to its box I noticed there was some artic silver had fallen in to the cpu socket and the pins looked damaged, as a result this may be causing my issues, I don't know

it's something to look out for as I was swapping my cpu in and out between my Maximus Extreme and SIIE

like you all I have spent hours, days and weeks to get this board working, for every step forward you take, you end up taking 2 back

i blame Nvidia and not Asus, Nvidia have a lot to answer for in releasing this half baked product and unfortunately Asus and other motherboard manufactures have to try and figure out how to make this crap work

congratulations slim in getting this far and I hope you get there finally - I will be reading this forum to see how all of ye are getting on

I will post my final settings in my signature which had prime95 running for 7 hours - the most I ever got
