PCI-E Gen 2.0 Bug X38/ X48/X58

[STEvil]

Indeed STEvil, I must admit I was concerned when I saw 102C and informed Mike that his GTX 480 was running extremely toasty. For comparisons sake a GTX 295 (Single PCB) in my system runs upto 86-88C after one whole hour of Furmark @ 1920*1200 16XFSAA. I think that is "safe" as during heavy gaming the card never goes over 70C (according to eVGA precision tool).

You are right, I think the DX58BSO had this issue fixed in a BIOS update.


Listed as a fix for July 2009?

Also in May 2009


But then again I know nothing

If Intel can fix the bug with an ACPI table update then all that needs to be done is to club some engineers at assus/msi/etc and get them to properly validate their ACPI tables...

edit - For the record, ACPI tables have a long history of being horrible quality, just look how badly they're broken under *nix most of the time lol.
