and another fact i'd notice since i've got sli is my overclock, it becomes very unstable... how to avoid this?! 102 pci-e clock ? bumping pci-e voltage? do anyone had this kind of problem coming from a single gpu config?

[KILLER_K]

When i said the 4th slot i meant move your sound card there. As why i mentioned the flex sli bridge if it was two tall for a hard sli bridge.

Increase IOH and ICH voltage. I need 1.2v IOH and 1.16v ICH for my SLI setup.
I find pci-e freq does nothing for me unless I'm above 205bclk.

Also, you may need to increase QPI.

[Mungri]

Just a quick question.

I'm running SLI with 2x 480's in slot #1 and #3, this blocks off my PCI slot for my soundcard, Do I have to skip this soundcard and use the built in one?

The board is designed for a PCI-E soundcard with either 2 triple slot, or 3 dual slot GFX cards unfortunately.

You could maybe sell your current soundcard and get a nice PCI-E one.

i'll do some trials.... i'll be here writing if something goes wrong/not as it suppost to.

quote, exactly what i've done!

[zoson]

Anyone try 1301 yet? Does it have tRL adjustment?

[p3gaz_001]

i'm on 1301 did not see nothing like that apart a new voice called "memory recheck".

[sprayingmango]

Just updated to 1301, running great. I have no idea what the changelog is though....haha

[cx-ray]

I'm wondering if the new Marvell FW and option ROM will possibly solve this issue? I don't have 2 C300s to test with, but the new BIOS I got from MrToad (SEE HERE) for the Rampage III Gene fixed all the issues I was having just trying to have the computer recognize the drive to install Windows. Might be able to input the same Marvell package into the 1301 release for the Extreme.

The problem must not be universal. I've installed Win 7 64 numerous times on C300 256GB drives connected to the Marvell controller. For what it's worth, in my tests I've always started from a secure erase state.

Bump up your Vtt (QPI) 1.30v is probably too low for DDR3-2000 MHz. Try something like 1.3625v (probably about 1.32v real) and see if that helps.

try running with HT off maybe and try manually setting qpi data link manually at closest to 6400 and then try toying with your rTL's manually as they tend to be choosen too tight or too loose when set to auto.

skuldarin, any suggestions on what to try with my rTL's?

Thanks to you two guys I finally passed linx. I think the biggest factor was the HT. That leads me to three questions.

1. I was able to pass prime95 with HT on at 4.6 but not linx. Once I turn HT off I can pass linx. How important is it to pass say 20 loops with linx if I can pass prime95. I mean other than benching and being able to post in the 4.5 club and stuff like that because linx is the requirement? Is it good enough, or in other words, is my system stable enough passing prime95.

2. Is a higher speed with HT off better than a lower speed with HT on or visa versa. For example, 4.6 HT off compared to 4.5 HT on.

3. Why the difference between prime95 and linx or what is the difference?

try changing that 4.6 is to high for it to runn TB

OK, I will play with that some also, or do you think I still need to since I've passed linx?




Also, do you guys have any suggestion on how I can bring my vcore down or am I pretty much stuck with where I have it for the 4.6GHz. If so would you say for 24/7 I will need to just bring the speed down so that I can keep the vcore no higher than 4.5?

3. Why the difference between prime95 and linx or what is the difference?

something to do with LinX and the libraries, it's not testing HT right and is pretty tough to get a 4c/8t or 6c/12t to pass on those speeds. it's been pretty difficult to do with HT on with high cpu speed AND LinX doesn't test 32nm chips at full potential either with HT on. Prime95 has been prooven to pull upto 10% more demand on 32nm chips.

as for your memory. alot of us have found a +2 / +1 different between RTL's gives the best stability. for you i'm not entirely sure i would start at around 57-59-60 or 61-63-64 for 2000mhz on there. for me it's 61-63-64 for 1866 on 12 gigs so you might get luckier with lower settings with your setup. for your tRL's put them all to normal and work your way up or down as needed. though if you're passing LinX with HT off, you really wont need to worry about this. if you want to pass with it on, this MAY help... but don't get your hopes up.

[KILLER_K]

@ zinsco, does your cinenbench crash @ 4.6GHZ. Mine crashes every time i hit start and now it is rather annoying. Just wondering if someone else is having that issue or it is just me. Also you are taking a big hit with you uclk freq that low and qpi speed that low.

[skuldarin]

KILLER K - what's your settings?

Zinsco - i forgot to add that if you're passing at 1.475-1.488 vcore at 4.6-ish then you're fairing better than i. mine required 1.53 something to be stable in the 4.6 range. but honestly if you're trying for daily, i'd back down to 4.4 and try vcore around 1.38 to 1.41 with LCC 100%. i got mine down to 1.4125 vcore for 4.4 and the performance different between that and 4.6 is hardly much at all for daily use and you lower risk of degrading your chip over time.

[KILLER_K]

@ skuldarin, i just tried his template and it crashed also. Not windows crashed, just cinebench only. All my other test runs fine. I think it is just cinebench being picky.

[skuldarin]

try not to copy everything exact to his template as stable voltages vary from chip to chip and mobo to mobo... well from product to product really.

[zinsco]

Haven't tried cinebench yet. I'll let you know when I do. Also, I thought Gulftown was only 1.5x the ram not 2x. Is it that Gulftown can go that low but at these speeds I should raise it to 2x and how high with qpi?

if you're trying for daily, i'd back down to 4.4 and try vcore around 1.38 to 1.41 with LCC 100%

Yeah, I plan on that. Trying to get 4.7 first. Actually, I'd like to get 4.8 before I back down. How high can we go on the vcore for benching and for how long before we cause damage? My temps are real good. My water cooling is doing really well. I'm real pleased with how it has held up, which makes it a bit of a shame if I can't really push it because of the cpu needing so much juice to stay stable. With my temps, I could maybe reach 5GHz.

Oh, and what is LLC?

[skuldarin]

^^
i meant LLC >.< tequila fingers don't do too well for spelling it seems.

for water cooling i've seen vcore upto 1.6 on 980's but even then that's pushing it and only on certain chips too. you've got a bit better chip than i have and you're getting stable at much lower voltage which is why your temps are so much better.

here's what i needed to get 4.7ghz (4.710ghz). this was also done with 2x uncore.

EDIT: only reason why my temps are so high is of a couple reasons... thinkin the EK block is a bit better for 1... 2, need to seperate my cpu in it's own loop instead of having one big loop on everything... and 3 get better luck next time with a couple chips that aren't so power hungry (i have two 980's, one more power hungry than the other, but both are starving).

[p3gaz_001]

Increase IOH and ICH voltage. I need 1.2v IOH and 1.16v ICH for my SLI setup.
I find pci-e freq does nothing for me unless I'm above 205bclk.

Also, you may need to increase QPI.

i've increased ioh to 1.24 and ich 1.20, and it seems to work much better, 985mhz with the two cards....that's ok for now, but the cpu is horribly unstable .... bsod very often while running 3dmark vantage ....

[CryptiK]

You have a multi rail PSU? Running cards and 8 pin mobo power off same rail?

[Raja@ASUS]

i've increased ioh to 1.24 and ich 1.20, and it seems to work much better, 985mhz with the two cards....that's ok for now, but the cpu is horribly unstable .... bsod very often while running 3dmark vantage ....

All that remains: QPI.
Remember, adding another GPU causes more QPI traffic(two gpu's talking to the cpu instead of just one).

Remember, adding another GPU causes more QPI traffic(two gpu's talking to the cpu instead of just one).
Here's my template at 4.2 200bclk:

***on-board jumper dependant

ok guys, thanks for the support, i'm doing a template for that right now!

i'd like to have 4.55ghz for benchmarks, (as before, single cpu)

@zoson, i have a similar setup .... it worked fine till the sli comes.

----------------------
so this is what i've got right now

this is a 4ghz cfg for normal using ..... from here i'd like to know where to start to get stable 4.5ghz just for benchmarks, if that's possible! thank you every one!

[skuldarin]

6-8-6-22-88 T1 is pretty good timings for 1800 , mine wont touch CL6 past 1730
i also didn't think about needing more qpi due to your sli setup. i forget about that all the time with having a dual gpu card probably why i need 1.375-1.38v for VTT and more ICH voltage even though i've been keeping my mem speeds near stock.

ye i was suprised for those timings, i'm goin to RS those timings in a second time.
Raja is helping me out to go get this 975 running perfectly with 2 580. at this moment i'm at 167x24 = 4362mhz and i've passed 5 linx loop .....

more updates later!

try not to copy everything exact to his template as stable voltages vary from chip to chip and mobo to mobo... well from product to product really.

Yes i know that. I was just trying to see if his would allow me to make cinebench work. As all my other benchmarks and apps works fine. Like i said i think cinebench is just showing its age really now. Hopefully he will run it and let me know what he finds out.
