I've had it up to 200, but I need a bios update, the bios is D7 from like June. Problem is, I cant seem to update. I keep getting error messages.

Can do with bootable USB,FLASHSPI and BIOS F5e.

Ok here are some shots of my i7 rig with a cable managed tech station :laugh:

I also got the top deck to screw in all the way and not have a gap like it did before

All unused cables were zip tied together behind the station out of the way

was that the post where he had like three of them in the picture? He's always posting shots of different heatsinks, and many of them too!

Didn't see that one. That pic I linked was from the thread of said cooler. Sure do like the one with both the Noctua and IFX-14 in it. I can't wait for it to come out. I'll hopefully be able to get it maybe a little after new year. Paying back school bills are killing me. :cry:

Do what you gotta do bro, it's just a cooler after all.

yeah I did. It was the sound card. I re installed it with some new drivers and a different PCI slot and it's all gravy now.

The card is badass, got me 26.6k in 3dmark 06 no volt mods single card. Can't complain. Get a good 50-60FPS on Crysis Warhead maxed out @ 1680x1050

Tommy Hewitt?

Oh, I'm done. I just am regretting paying back the money I should have sent back instead of spending on stuff I didn't need. Now it doesn't look like such a good idea. Oh well, you live and learn.......then you get luvs. :laugh:

With PPU = disable, yeah.
Enable, no.

I don't think the checkbox for disable PPU was hit on this run.

With PPU on what is the average score for i7 920 @ 4ghz?

thanks

This board is doing rather well. Very surprised with it's ease of use and stability so far. However, I still want more

Got some new toys coming that should fit the bill nicely:

Heatkiller CU 3.0 Nickel-plated
Bitspower motherboard & mosfet blocks
A second D5 pump
Two EK 665 tops
BIX quad rad
A handful of Bitspower fittings
And some 3/4" OD tubing

Hope to have it all in within the next week

Oh, thought I'd pick up an ECP panel while I was at it

Fitseries3 · Nov 6, 2009

damn T... can you order me the ECP too? would save on shipping for me

For the dude with the trouble dloading bios update. You need to save the bios file to hdd before auto update then use update program to patch manually worked for me.

Asylum · Nov 6, 2009

My new SSD setup. :laugh:

I wish i had enough memory to make a drive.

Fitseries3 · Nov 6, 2009

wow...i should try that. i have 12gb ddr3 now.

Asylum · Nov 6, 2009

You could set up a 10Gig drive maybe.

Look at that cpu usage! I think the ram drive raped the cpu and now the cpu owes it money! :laugh:

OMG that X58 is gorgeous...

Thanks for the advise, but the problem runs much deeper than I thought. This board had a permanent bios. It's a rev 0.1. that was for testing only. It never was to be sold to the public.
I've already been refunded by the (VERY GREAT) Ebay seller. :toast:

Asylum · Nov 7, 2009

Got some time a couple days ago and tried lowering my voltages.
I now have a new 24/7 voltage setting.
Been running it a couple days gaming and video encoding and no problems at all.

shevanel · Nov 7, 2009

this is as high as i can get it while trying to stay under 1.3v...

it passes 10 ITB runs.

Nice Fits, but why do they keep on putting IDE and floppy headers on these boards? It just makes no sense at the price I'm sure they will run.:shadedshu
