dont waste your time with cpuz
you can use everest (4.60) and probe II (1.04.52)
Is there a performance difference from running 2cards in SLI in the top and middle slot opposed to the top and bottom slot?
I guess it depends on the cards that you run. Remember that the middle slot is PCI-E 1.1. If you run a PCI-E 2.0 card in the middle slot, there MIGHT be a difference. I could check it out for you with heavily OCed GTX 260s in SLI with vantage.
Edit: It looks like it does affect the performance. I lost 2k in vantage.
This is with my GTX 260s in slots 1 and 3.
and this is with them on 1 and 2
Also, when I put the cards on 1 and 2, the responsiveness of the system was pretty bad too. There was a lot of stuttering in vista. I have 4 raptors in raid 0+1 seagate+1 DVD drive all on the MCP with 1.55V. Considering that the middle slot is connected to the MCP, the MCP might require more volts if you have something like me(with all 6 sata ports occupied).

Hey guys i am having some problems running Quad SLi on this board. When i first setup the system i ran 3d Mark vantage and some of the benchies were only running at half screen, mainly the feature tests 1 & 2 and Test 3 was fullscreen but it flickering quite badly. Games wont play either, grid will show me an intro and then crash, crysis crashed after a few minutes of real jerky gameplay and when i tried the GPU benchmark, it crashed immediately. I tried both cards seperatly and they worked fine, and then i tried both pci-e slots and found that i got better average fps with crysis benchmark in 2nd blue slot by about 3 - 4 fps.
This is my setup

2X Evga 9800GX2

Any ideas?

I use everest and believe it's measurment, but I'm sorta on a mission to understand why cpuz works with so many other boards and not the S2E.
I went to the cpuz forum and the moderator/author requested a register dump.
I'll provide him with that today when I get home from work..
I'll kepp the thread posted if there's a resolution.

Thanks for doing that for me, that provided a lot of great information!
I took a look at my board with a flashlight, and it looks like I am the cause of my problem. It looks like I may have damaged the board when installing the video cards, there are a few scratches in the PCB right where the video card mounting tabs notch into the case. It looks like I took out some ciruits going to the 2nd and 2rd PCI-e ports. It looks like I'll be stuck with one video card until I get a different board. Thinking about trying out the EVGA 790 FTW. Maybe I'll use my SE2 for some Dry ice runs to practice.
Just wanted to ask real quick
Is this the end of the S2E? Cause this thread has been going from inactivity to instant death (fatal1ty mode)...
I think so. I have a feeling I subconciously damaged my motherboard on purpose. Maybe its time for an Imac. LOL
If it matters at all, CPU-Z voltage never read correct on my 680i Striker either. Of course, BIOS monitoring on both boards is wrong too....if I compare with a DMM.
Vcore, SPP, MCP, and Memory voltages all read higher with my DMM than with the bios monitoring. I think my Everest shows exactly what the bios monitoring shows....but I'm not exactly sure. I'll check if you want. Let me know....and please keep us posted.
Edit: Also, I have a P35 Gigabyte board that doesn't read the same vcore either....cpu-z vs. DMM.

LOL... For me itīs not the end.... because i decided to push a bit more form my S2E....
Was running my QX9650@3825Mgz 1800SFB linked ans sinked with 4GB of memory running at 8-8-8-21...
Now testing QX9650@3910Mhz 1840FSB linked and sinked with 4GB of memory running at 8-8-8-19....
Rock stable at the moment runing Prime95 for 2 Hours.....
Will post screenshot later..

Thats great M@G!C
I will also spend a lot of time overclocking my stuff, CANT WAIT!
Btw, Do you run prime more than 8 hours? I recommend running prime95 for 8 hours, more is worthless. If its stable 8 hours, then you should be good for anything and make sure to run Intel Burn Test at least 100 times![]()

I still haven't made bench runs using my e8400 yet, I've been spending a lot of time setting up a Liquid Cooling bench I have been using the SIIE as my 24/7 machine while I get the wc testing gear ready.
hello there, ı am a strıker 2 FORMULA user and i am not happy with my board because of the overheating NB and SB 200 chip (which would almost cause me to break the full heat pipe system)
i decided to change my board
anyway,
ı expect you to be really objective as a striker EXTREME user.
does thıs board have an overheating problem , is it a good overclocker, any problems with the bios...(does its bios enable us to reach the awesome fsbs)
in summary did nvidia790i satisfy you ? or is it better to go on with intel x48
i really need your comments to benefit from your experiences thanks a lot..

1. Enhance compatibility with certain memory modules.
2. Fix system might be unable to wake up from S3 status via certain Gaming USB Keyboard with USB2.0 Hub. (Might be the Razr or OCZ keyboards)
3. Fix "System Properties" under Vista OS might report incorrect CPU frequency of certain Intel CPU when EIST is set to enabled as well as CPU multiplier is set to any N/2 value.
Note: Please use either AWDFLASH or AsusUpdate version 7.14.01 to upgrade BIOS when your currentlyl installed BIOS is prior to version 0402. You could use EZflash to upgrade BIOS from version 0508.
