    I forgot to mention this, but at the top of the board on the back side there are two tiny little resistors. When I opened the box to my board 1 of them was sitting in it anyone knows what its for?
    I could probably solder it back on myself, its pretty much by itself at the top. I havent had any trouble yet though, chugging 4.2ghz just wondered what it was for.

    You're probably slowly frying your memory

    RMA the board Bobby(strange calling you that). For the cost, it should have everything attached, resistors especially.

    i have the UD5 board and it came with a 2 way SLI connector, to fit perfectly to the 2 x16 slots....

    i have my 2 8800 GT's there and i cant enable sli......whats going on?

    i need help guys..........thanks in advance!

    the radeon 3870x2 worked and i could adjust both gpu's seperately...

    with the 2 8800 gt's i can adjust the temps on both fans, but the clock only on the main card...

    riva tuner and nvida control panel shows 2 cards but cant get them to sli....

    i have vista 64 bit, then just udated with sp1 and the display hotfix, and installed the newest nvida driver.....if i try to run ntune or accept the agreement in the nvida control panel i get a blue screen every time!! even when i use fail safe options in bios...

    cant get sli, i have them connect properly too....

    i did have an ati radeon card installed , shut down....then installed the sli, now nothing no sli....

    Well just don't get 12GB of ram, whatever you do. I tried for hours now, with 6 matched modules, and I just can't get the sucker of a mobo to boot up when OCed.
    Stock BCLK and 1600 memspeed - fine, passes memtest easily. Try BCLK of 180 and any ram mult and it won't post. With 6x ram mult it posts sometimes, but hangs upton entering memtest. Anyone know what voltage I need to raise to make it work? I raised all of them quite a bit to no avail...


    Oh yeah, BCLK 200 stable with 6GB of ram. Using 6x ram mult again, 8x means no post as well :S

    Crap... your the second one of that i hear that...

    I also got 12gb but not assambled right now, if clocking is a nogo with 12gb its a real let down... but somewhat expected (anyone remember the old A64 days? )

    btw what ram you got? the OCZ gold 1600?
    Cause the other case i hear had the OCZ, but the modules had a different SPD, thought thy had the same designation. ( and didn't even ran at DDR3-1333 )

    With the advent of tabbed browsing... pictures of course. Many many pictures.


    On a more serious note, does anyone know what the max safe QPI voltage is? I can't just put a 32x multiplier on a 125blck and let it run, I blue screen even with 1.38v on the cpu.

    have you tried 1.55v+ QPI/VTT

    No dinos, I haven't tried that high yet.. went to 1,45V max. But I don't wanna run that high a QPI voltage 24/7 :/ Gonna try tomorrow and see if it helps anyways.

    Hornet, it's 2x 6GB DDR3-1600 kit from Compustocx (Quimonda chips). The memory can handle it, like I said at stock/lower BCLK I can run 1600Mhz on the mem fine (even 1700 passed memtest at CAS 9-9-9-24 1,64V Vdimm).

    other thing i suggest is load the XMP profile for the sticks and then change RAM divider if it decides to go higher after you increase BCKL clocks

    only few mems have XMP, but it not really needed.

    I can tell more tomorrow, when i have my rig up and running.

    lazy manufacturer

    maybe next time get Corsairs
    they have decent XMP profiles for their RAM usually
    they dont always work great depending on boards bios support.....but with X58 for example no matter how hard it was to OC with a particular bios XMP profile was always giving me more stability.....newer bioses like F4f are easier to OC without XMP profile

    are you the same joe cool as that German benchmarker or another dude
    was always wondering that hehe

    while you are at it

    try to play with QPI/VTT and vcore to around 0.02v difference or thereabouts....keep them close and see what happens

    sometimes its the mixture of volts that are no good

    also try auto volts but use ET6 to see what bios selected and try manual set

    Naw, I'm not him, whoever he may be
    Using latest F4J bios, liked F3 better tho... and no I won't buy Corsair, as I would have to shell out almost the same amout of money to buy 6GB of Corsair than that 12GB of CSX cost me
    Anyway, gonna tell their tech support tomorrow I need an XMP profile.. shouldn't take long.

    ah ok so you are a different guy
    always wondered that heh

    wow big price difference

    XMP profile is a mix of timings and volts really....getting a really good mix of performance and stability on different boards is not an easy thing to do actually......these take a lot of tweaking actually
