Well, I've got until July 10 to get this board stable before I send it back to Newegg for replacement. At which point, I'll probably sell it as new/unopened (assuming Newegg sends a new one).
I'm still getting SLi freezing in games (Lord of the Rings Online). Though I was able to play for about four hours last night before I froze (got my hopes up!). My detailed specs and experience are above. But just to summarize:
BIOS 0801
XP 64-bit
Q9450 @ stock speeds and vcore
15.17 and 177.41 drivers
NB: 1.52v
SB: 1.55v
Memory: 1.9v @ 7-7-7-20-2T @ 1333
2 x GTX280
X-fi Platinum PCI-E
Tyke and OBR, have either of you tweaked your RAM subtimings? Would you be willing to post yours? I got some guidance from the Mushkin forums for my sub-timings. But they conflict with Anandtech. And, actually, I haven't noted any real difference in stability between leaving the sub-timings to "auto" and setting them myself.
I'd rather not go any higher in NB or SB volts on air. Has that been the key to either of you getting your rigs stable in SLi?
Seems that both of you are "under water" as well. Though that's probably just coincidence.
Best,
H
