Oh yeah when Im trying to bench PI sometimes it takes me 20 minutes to get 54x to boot at ~200Mhz lower than I can run 32m. Have to try different bclk and hope for the best.

Hi,

Please, please help me out here!!! I flashed the motherboard with @bios from F3 to F6 (started with default setting, hyperthreading off). Now it keeps on trying to boot, but doesn't even get into the bios boot up screen. Isn't the Dualbios supposed to take over here? Bootdrive is an intel 160 gig SSD.

I pushed the 'clear CMOS' button, but that didn't do a thing.

When I look at the display on the motherboard it goes up to '26' and then just powers down and reboots.

Before the computer worked just fine. I got a Geil GVP38GB1600C9DC memory kit (2 X 4GB CL9-9-9-28).

--> is my bios fried or maybe my memory is not compatible with the never firmware?

Any help is more than welcome, as I'm just beginning to learn the overclocking world

Here bios F8X Eldonko Vcore @ 1.58 with SS

Dang..pretty difficult board

Great overclock, well done!

Anyone running sli on this board using the 16x1 slot and the 8x2 slot a friend of mine has just got this board and we are having trouble getting it to work are there any bios settings, voltages or drivers we need in order for this to work?

both cards work fine on their own...

Thanks. I just found the reason of the problem: the Geil memory is not supported anymore after a bios upgrade OR downgrade.
My solution was putting in other memory that is supported. Getting the computer to boot into windows. Power down again. Remove memory. Put in Geil memory. System works again!!!
Now, since I don't really trust this, I just put in other memory to be sure. But it is possible to use the cheapo Geil memory.

I'm ruuning SLi 16x X 16x on the nf200, works np at all...

yep cards are both detected fine when both in the x16 slots, we are trying to use the top x16 slot and the bottom x8 slot so that we can fit accelero extreme coolers on the gpus and still have access to the pci lane, for sound card.

[dinos22]

switch cards around, ive had SLI not want to work sometimes unless the cards were put in order they like

but it should work man ive tested both 16x slots and 16 and 8

Yes it works
Are you getting anything from nv cp? no sli detection?
drivers? card type?
I had it working using two 580's first x16 slot last x8 worked ok.
gpuz read disabled in but thats because it reads gpu 1 not gpu 0

[Psyco]

no the issues look like the 8x slot does not work properly, using only one gpu (580) it works in all slots except the last one (no screen on when gpu in x8-2) does not show up in device manager or nvidia cp (when in sli)

we tried using a 1x sound card to test the slot and that surprisingly worked, very strange...

thinking about leaving it running x16 - x16 with stock coolers until the board gets replaced because of the 6 series fiasco

[truehighroller]

This is such bull !

I want this motherboard and now that I have the money, they're all~ goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

[Falkentyne]

Truehighroller,
arent you the person who got asus to fix some q9650 cpu margin bug on a p5q bios way back?

I just tested it for you & I have no problems running SLi bro.

Yesr

Do you have a spare board for me just because I did that back then ? That would be~ sweet~.

[truehighroller]

Thank you very much for looking for me, I appreciate it. I called them earlier and they said they returned all theirs to Gigabyte.

[Nostromo]

Well, after much frustration I found that my system likes nearly all the voltages to be set in auto.
with ram volts in auto (corsair vengeance) and vtt/qpi in auto, I have been running well with 16 gigs of ram at
1600 9-9-9-24 checking easy tune, it set vtt/qpi at 1.05 and ram at 1.52 .. checking in bios it shows volts
at Vtt/qpi 1.064 and ram 1.52 been playing with large ram disks 2x4 gigs and system seems pretty stable.
if i set Vtt/qpi and ram manually to above voltages, I get instability. this is with CPU at 4.9 CPU volts set manually.

How can i check to see what speed a non GPU PCIE card is running at? I have a gtx480 in slot 1 and a raid card in slot
3. just wanna verify it's running at 8x

[Falkentyne]

Yesr

Not unless you want a p5wdh with a burnt 4 pin connector....

Sorry to hear that. I found a guy with a shop by me that has a MSI P67A-GD65. I thinking about just saying hell with it and getting it for now as it seems to be overclocking just as easy as these other motherboards.

I'd just have to put up with a sorta buggy bios I reckon from what I've read so far about it...

Forget it, ask cowie with 580 SLI, the x8 decrease completely the performance of the card in ......... with AMD cards is not a problem, but with Nvidia, don't know why it kill the perf on this chipset.

BTW I never had a p5b deluxe. I just read the thread from time to time because I had considered getting one for awhile (and also wasn't sure about the ud3p) and because it was interesting visiting it...

BTW the board still works, but with the burnt 4 pin, it's very unreliable if not at stock (and dangerous to use), thus I was forced into the SB upgrade. pushing a QX9650 at 4.2 ghz and 1.45v and pencil droop mod was too much for a 4 pin connector....

[PatRaceTin]

What if i use low BCLK & high multi like BCLK90x57 = 5130Mhz

[andressergio]

well guys finally all things arrived to my country thanks to ma mate The Real 7 for the great help

this are my 24/7 Clocks very happy
