Hi. I've wrote on asus forums about the debug code 00 error some time ago:

http://www.asusrog.com/forums/showth...sible-solution

Also happened to me. Seems like LN2 switch is the key...

Yeah its what pazza said above

[FedericoUY]

Yeah its what pazza said above

I can see that, I'm just showing that several months ago I've found this error or a similar one.

Is the "GO" button really a good thing to use for boosting to a higher OC temperariliy?

Also how does it work exactly. The manual says to press it while in OS. Does this mean the boosted OC is instantly effective and really safe to use for when higher OC is needed?

thanks

Anyone help with the above please? thanks

[andressergio]

Anyone help with the above please? thanks

Sup friend ?

well i never liked this tools or AUTO OC cauz they always give more to all as there no way to see how a chip will OC like we test, so i really never use those

u can do that with AI TWEAKER from inside WINDOWS also

Hi all!,

I am about to purchase an Asus MIVE and would like to know which ram would be better?

Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
G.Skill Sniper F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (2x4GB) DDR3

Thank you for your help, I couldn't find a thread which specified which ram is more preferable!

Regards,

[Leeghoofd]

All of them rams will run good out of the box. Depending what you want to to do ... if it's for gaming purposes 1600Mhz is a nice balance, more speed is always better for a faster overal setup... Ocability will differ from brand to brand... The vengeance 1600C9 according others doesn't seem to have much headroom...

[andressergio]

i would buy patriot xtreme 2000 CL9 2x4 im runing 16GB at 2133 9-11-9-27 1T and i can go to 5600 no HT with them same timmings

80 dollar per kit blast all i tested many and the ones u say above have nothing to do with this

u can get it here
http://www.ramexperts.com/ddr3/perfo...op-memory.html

tested on GIGA UD7 and MIVE

for me its your best choice

cheers

congrats boulard great pics and system

poor the bottom card almost touching PSU but i see the fan its off it

cheers

@Andres
The top card heats more then the bottom one. 72°c and 65°c after 2x 3Dmark11 run.

1 more question.
I just installed windows on the Revo. had few trouble. Wasnt able to install windows at all with the SLI installed.
GPU1 on PCIe #1
GPU1 on PCIe #4
Revo on PCIe #3 ( in between cards, like on the pics )

Cant see the REVO when installing windows, tryed IDE, AHCI, Raid, Disabling evrything in boot order, disabling other SATA controller, nothing made it ... Removed second GPU, boot AHCI, everything enabled and able to install windows in the exact same PCIe slot for the Revo.

Didnt tryed to put my second GPU back in but its currently running with the Revo on the PCIe #3 and a GTX570 on the first slot.

If i put the second GPU back in and its not booting on the drive, ima little screwed .... cant use my 2 DCII and Revo in any other configuration. keep in mind they are 3 slot .. good cooling but reduce other way to install.

[lukeharvest]

Obviously the main difference between the P67 and Z68 versions is the 'benefits' of the Z68 features, but when it comes down the Maximus, is one of them more stable than the other, or does one overclock slightly better?

Well 1 and 3 slots are x8 native and the others are nf200 my cards are on 1 and 3
Did u try this way or there's problem with space ?

My experience on z68 are on giga boards and p67 is way more stable

Hi all,

Thanks for the responses for what brand of ram to use!

I have another question, is there a guide on overclocking with the Asus MIVE? I am very new to overclocking and would be good to use a guide of some sorts if one is available!

Thanks!

[MonsterDK]

Thanks m8 for answering. Your a real asset to this forum. Always willing to help noobies such as myself

lol we are the guide the xs ppl on this thread

but u can start on loading xtreme profile wich is an OC profile with all things u need disabled

then u just set vcore on 1,4+ / vccio 1,08 / pll 1.7 / internal pll = enabled for now / vdimm 1,65

and try the magic numner 50 x 100

good luck mate !!!

[rentay]

Thank you for the reply! I am really looking forward to ordering parts next week and starting my build!

I have yet another question haha with this motherboard, I will be doing some overclocking and running 2 GTX 580 in SLi, would a 850W or 1000W powersupply be enough?

Also, what brand? Corsair or Silverstone? I would like to keep the powersupply modular aswell.

Regards,

[humeyboy]

P67 is mature and has lots of Bios updates, until 2 weeks ago the Asus Z68 ROG had only 2 Bioses (2XX / 4XX) with the one after those being pulled from Asus site (6XX) but now has 2 new Bioses (7XX Final / 9XX Beta)!

All Mobos are same when young and can improve!

I would not go out and buy a P67 today if anyone asks!

I think its officially a NO-GO

I tried the revo (windows is now installed on it ) in every single slot with one GTX570. Boot, post, load windows and i even tryed ATTO and speed are similar for every single PCIe slot that i have ( tryed 5, got 4 PCIex16 and 1 PCIex4 ) Some of the PCIex16 are by default passing through the NF200 chip so if the NF200 was the issue i think it should not work in some config i tested.

At last, ive put the GTX570 back in slot #1, Revo in slot #3, leaving my last PCIe alone and free to install the second GTX570. Reboot, booted windows, all good in the exact same slot that if i was running my SLI but no SLI.

Installed the Second GTX570, boot, NO REVO ..... nothing. Can only load bios and the revo isnt show anywhere.

I dont have any other choice as for my SLI PCIe arrangement since my cards are 3slot, i MUST use these slot, slots that all work without SLI, But FAIL when SLI ...


My only last try is going to give a chance to 2 new BIOS. Im on 1850, there is a 1904 and 2001 out but they are mostly for compatibility with CPU and memory. Ill give it a shot as soon as i have time.

sorry my friend i feel bad for the advice my friend is runing the 580's not those, so i guess your cards are covering the needed slots i should have looked better damn
