Do you guys have LLC enabled? If yes, which mode?

[needforspeed]

Both QPI and CPU LLC on CPU 100%.. setting

[MKroenke]

Both QPI and CPU LLC on CPU 100%.. setting

Thanks, gonna try it. Had it on 0% as I had on the Classified. Everyone told me I should have it disabled for whatever reason on the EVGA.

[Kilyin]

So when you flash the BIOS does it flash both chips?

[Ghostleader]

No, you have to choose which one you want to flash.

I was able to run my HD 5850 at 1000mhz core/1300mhz memory with 1.2 v

And now since I upgraded from my Q9650 (lga 775) to my i7 930 (1366)
I cannot run it as fast as I could with the same voltage and overclock, when I play 5 minutes of Metro 2033, it always freeze and I get vertical green lines. My temps are below 60'C (even on the VRM )

I have my i7 930 OC to 4.3 Ghz with 1.3375v in BIOS

I'll have another HD 5850 in crossfire (x16,x16) in a week and it will be also watercool and I plan to Overclock it as well...

My IOH Voltage is actually at 1.19 v
My IOH PCIE Volateg is on auto

What should I do. Thanks Guys!

maybe ur psu can't cope with the new overclocked toys

[KaRLiToS]

Enermax Revolution 950w?? I had a OCZ GameXtream 700W before and the card was fine...

[fmsam]

try some other games just to be sure
Metro is heavy on the hardware, maybe bring your pcie freq' up a bit Im running 5870's at 110

[kill_a_wat]

Karlitos how does it play @ stock frequencies (I mean the video cards?)

[Marvin82]

@Karlitos
Green Lines at the ATI 58xx Is a Problem from the Vram clock
Its a xfx or?
Set 1320MHz or 1280Mhz VRam clock

Hi Guys,

first post here,

have browsed these forums for a number of years but never actually posted. so here I am.

Sporting a Brand new Rampage III extreme with Intel i7 920 D0 SLBEJ.
G.Skill Trident 3X2GB, ATI 5970

Full EK water block on RIII
Koolance water block on 5970

Overclocked currently to 4.2ghz, but not able to complete benchmarks in vantage due to BSOD.

still toying with BIOS

[zsamz_]

anyone else having bios corruption issues?

[justin.kerr]

so far, loving this board 4.5Ghz i7 920 24 hour prime95 stable...very nice board!! EK full coverage block, NB stays very cool, no way to check the VRM's with software?? maybe I just missed it. lol

[fmsam]

Great work Kortas

Welcome to the RE3 club :-)

nice looking rig you have, what part of vantage do you blue screen ?

As my set up is very similar to yours, I am running a 920 @ 4.2 with 5870s in xfire

with full w/c dual loop, ek all round,

Rick

Thanks fmsam

I'm getting the BSOD at 1st CPU test, few seconds into watching the pretty planes flying around it freezes, and or BSOD's on me.

Tried playing around in BIOS but I'm not getting anywhere to fast.

My target OC is 4.2ghz I think thats good enough for me.

Hi Kortas

Try increasing your Vcore alittle or your Qpi

What is your Current Vcore at ?

[kortas]

Hi Kortas

What is your Current Vcore at ?

HI Ka0sX,

My CPU voltage is 1.36 // Cpu pll 1.85
Qpi / Dram voltage 1.33

will try increasing them a little.

Does anyone know why a BIOS would overclock a multi without intervention? Im using 0702 and now my multi which is set at Auto in the bios shows to be 22 on CPU-Z. Isn't the 930 locked at 21 or lower? If not, isn't 21 the default multi?

With 0602 it was 21... any ideas as to why Asus would do something like that??

[=[PULSAR]=]

The i7 930 has a 21 multi across all cores, the 22 is turbo mode enabled on a single core.

[SkOrPn]

The i7 930 has a 21 multi across all cores, the 22 is turbo mode enabled on a single core.

Ok I see, so Asus just changed something in the new bios to enable turbo mode by default then?

Interesting thanks...

[J@mmer]

Not quite. 21 multi across all cores, 22 across 2 cores and even a 23multi on one core.

[ToMeGuN]

anyone else having bios corruption issues?

I have, I had 0c showing for cpu temp then reboot and be 60c reflash bios and it read 32c "Normal" then reboot and be at 0c again. I also had 1 board with a dead USB the next came with dead Firewire... I'm waiting on my 3rd now should be here at the end of the week. If it doesn't fly i'm taking refund and getting something else.

I never had any problems with ASUS but with this board i haven't had any luck.

[DBoone]

Turbo mode was enabled by default in both BIOS versions that I've used. I disable it when it reboots after flashing.

[Jeff Flowerday]

Any one check the dpc latency on this bad boy? Also what firewire chipset is it? I assume via.

I sure wish Asus would give us an option to disable HPET!
