Hi All,

I'm on my 2nd MIVE B3 and seems to have the same issue as the first . Has anyone installed the latest (or any) RST driver successfully? I've tried the ones on the Asus website, but they don't work (stall on restart). Current bios is 1101, but I'll be trying 1485 tonight .. hopefully that works.

I'm downloading those now and will test them on Windows 7 on BIOS 1485. Download is running a bit slow right now, unfortunately.

Thank Raja@ASUS, hopefully the new bios is the key, let me know how you make out.

You aren't use AVX, use the linX I linked above...

@Deachus

Ahrm pls pls research 1st... I sad last linX, if you did a bit of research you would have noticed that it brought a new HT implementation that gave a pretty nice boost with the whole 8 threads.

My post in LinX club...

Instead of starting an argument why don't you read my above post fully and see that I was saying you where correct that a new version of LinX fixed the 4T vs 8T problem and I was going to retest my system. Some people are so quick to argue or tell people they are wrong What is XS coming to, used to be such a helpful place.

What problem do you have?

seba84_2005, which bios are you running?

I have 1485 and W7 x64, but from intel site I can't install latest RST.

[Silver Bullet]

What problem do you have?

Whenever I install the Intel RST drivers (on a fresh install), Windows stalls on startup. It would seem the new bios (1485) fixes this issue. Will be trying it out when I get home tonight.

[seba84_2005]

I found latest Intel RST: 10.5.0.1022

Let us know how it goes after flashing the BIOS. The latest BIOS version on our support site is 1204. I'm not sure what differences there are between 1485 and 1204.

MASON@ASUS what is the correct driver to use on this board running on the Intel SATAIII for a OCZ Vertex 3 drive?

MASON@ASUS what is the correct driver to use on this board running on the Intel SATAIII for a OCZ Vertex 3 drive?

The driver included with the board works fine along with hot-swapping set to enabled. I haven't had any issues with the M4E/Vertex3 and received the drive 2 months ago.

Remove DVD Drive and try again (if you have it hooked).... I had this problem with all my X58/P67 mobos... and lastest RST drivers... I think it's an Intel problem... i guess they just screw'd up something with the new 10 version of RST...
With X58 i could just use old RTS Driver (9.something) but not in the P67, so my solution was using usb dvd roms drives...

I have a problem... I now run 4.7Ghz with 1.4v and ram on 2133 10-11-11-24-1T and its rock stable. Actually i cant get 4.8 rock stable without using 90v on the cpu :P
Anyway the main problem is: I have now manual timings, cpu v and dram v manual and cpu pll overvoltage enabled. The rest is all auto. If i now set YES on Load Extreme OC Profile and restart the computer it will not boot, well it does when it has tried to start up 3 times and then i get OC failed. I go in the bios again and just pressing F10 and it boots up fine, but now the problem comes...The boot logo screen in the beginning is not showing. It goes directly to that screen were you usually get told that you should press F1 bla bla bla and overclocking failed bla bla bla. Going fine into windows and then there is no sound or internet???? It happens every time the boot logo in the beginning is not showing, then i know there will be no internett or sound. I have tried everything on doing something in bios to make it boot with sound and internet, but no luck. I have to reset CMOS to get it restored
Any ideas?

Some results ...

With a fresh install of Windows 7 SP1,

1204 + RST 10.5 = works
1485 + RST 10.5 = works

Some observations & concerns

- RAID5 dropped the #5 port drive after both bois updates (deleted and rebuilt array afterwords each time, since it was empty - but after there is lots of data on it this could be a considerable problem)
- Explore freezing and not responsive ( can't get driver CD to open, can't update my Windows Update settings, can't install Windows Essentials AV - seems to be a bad install - will be re-installing again tonight - but if this is a real problem could be deal breaker)
- Bois 1485 also seems to have included an iROG firmware update

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and help, hopefully another clean install tonight will clear up the explorer freezing issue.

Silver are you talking about explorer freezing for a few secs at a time?
If so I had the same problem, I download the new chipset driver & it seems to have fixed that problem.

Dated April 21 so it was just released...

Thanks TheHardCase, I'll try that when I get home. I guess pushing the leading edge has it's drawbacks (waiting for drivers), it's advantages too . 4.5Ghz+

Update:

- TheHardCase, thanks the driver find, worked great (though I did need a fresh install to get them working)
- Everything else seems fine. Will hopefully get time Sunday to start tweaking ... P9389 for 3Dmark 11 with everything stock and default.

I dont think you can downgrade bios if it contains any kind of firmware update or am i wrong? Cause i just downgraded the bios from 1485 to 1303

Has anyone tried the ROG connect or RC Bluetooth with there smart phone to OC the MIVE? I finally got it to work kinda of cool to see your Temps,Vcore, and reset or shut down your system.

Yes.. It's pretty cool but not for HC benchers. I used it on iPod connected via wireless.

Shut down your PC with it when your sister is on it whole day - priceless

[gjeewaytee]

I have connected it with my android and its really cool indeed, but is useless for me cause i would not dare to use my mobile to OC my baby

So, still one now lingering problem ... the DVD-Drive won't read anything, if I stick in a disc (the driver dvd or say Starcraft 2) and open my computer and click on the drive, it just sits there and eventually crashes explorer

Anyone else had this problem? I'm going to try moving the DVD drive to the marvell controller and see if that helps.

How can it be now that when i adjust the Bus speed (default 100) it only affect dram freq? I mean when i did that some days ago the cpu freq increased aswell and not just the memory.... Now i have bus speed at 105 and 45x multiplier and cpuid shows bus speed at 100 and 45x multiplier, but the memory is almost at 2000 now
What have i done now lol ???

It's a mis-read as both buses are tied to the reference clock.

Can you guys please post up the RTL value reported in BIOS. I need RTL, CAS and memory frequency please. Just working on something here and I could do with a broad range of data to confirm it works.

Thanks
