What would be causing the card to be stuck in x16 1.1 mode?

very nice

thanks elmor

Only thing I don't like on it. I have a feeling the UD5H is going to be quite the performer, probably just as good or better than the top tier OC, if it is anything like prior generations.

Wow Hazzan, that is sick! I know that the RIVE clocks higher, but the MSI board is very efficient, strong run dude.

I like how you think:) 3x boards 3x cpus 2x cards . . .because it is MSI and you just never know. Last night on the GD 80 vcore is maxed out at 1.95v and I get 1.89v idle to as low as 1.85v under load and then it would randomly spike to 2.04v. You gotta know the cpu likes that excellent power delivery:D

Best way to go is have one of each card for last minute changes, unless one shows up broken lmao.

Wow so much fail, and here I thought 1.92v was too low:p Gotta give Asus props for giving you the option to pump up 2.4vcore and 2.4 vdimm:D Hopefully with Haswell other vendors will follow suit and allow higher vcore/vdimm.

I still have not benched my 7790, it just showed up today. Glad to hear you have a (hopefully) working cold slow bios man, makes me glad I went that route.

nice Vivi!

Just got down with the vas on the most recent Z77 OC Formula since there have been so many sessions with cold on the memory. Yes it is a bit messy at first the peace of mind of a condensation free session is totally worth it I think. For just cpu, no need to go that hard if you live in a dry climate, but if the board is going to be benched cold on cpu, gpu and memory and is a permanent bench board then I don't think there is anything wrong with the vas treatment. Also I don't think you need Hondacity style vas treatment with an inch tall layer of goo covering everything, just a thin layer and then melt it with the heat gun so it goes everywhere in those hard to reach spots.

All Costa over here and quite the opposite of brown hand I think lol. I usually pick winners like you when it comes to binning Ivy, but I guess I got lucky this time.

Solid!

lmao both same batch, 5Ghz 32M <1.31v 4c 4t:) Will retest later today when the new card gets here.

Thanks Albrecht, hopefully the twin backup cpu that clocks identical on air, is just as menacing on cold:D

Not on this board lol

Have no idea Leeg, I have all this nice BFR, CFR and MFR and no desire to run it lol. I was thinking Samsung, but the RipZ kit worked so well I was hard pressed to remove it especially with the -110c cbb coupled with the fact that all clocks were booted from the bios as my OS does not support ME installation.

Agreed it is total fail, except for this bench.

@ Calathea yup all on air, 1.88v I found out tWCL 7 is broken and slow, like many things on the MPower lol @ Hazzan thanks bro, there's a bit left in it I think as the mount was pretty bad upon tear down, will revisit.

7790 looks better by the minute lol

Thanks guys!

still waiting for hardware, first GTX 560 Ti 448 came borked:( Hopefully everything shows up in the next few days. Good luck Eeky!

Set tWCL to 6, and make sure to run the slots closest to the cpu.

No I just started to reply and then I . . . . actually started benching:D Maybe time to start doing some more of that:)

Troll much? Fan headers blowing up personal experience there bud? Seems as though you may be doing a bit to much back seat driving, and watching from the sidelines instead of actual overclocking. Usually when I defrost the session is done, so who cares about water when thawing, you just let it sit for a few hours and you are ready to go again, not even sure why this was mentioned. As for the de humidifier option, I have seen this in the bios but since I am actually overclocking I don't really bother with it, as it does not help max clocks, not even for bclk world records:p All of the retail boards I have had have solid readings for vdimm and vcore and others can verify so maybe check your dmm. As for the false advertising about digital vs analog, I can agree but when it runs better than most other vendor's digital PWM how can you argue? And tell me how any of these vendors have any interest in what is good for America or the American economy? Where do you think all of this money is going? Back in circulation in the US economy? Come on your smarter than that. As a corporation their best interest is in increasing profits, not what is best for the consumer and that is every company, not just Asrock so moot point imho. And to err on the side of caution, I would still insulate the motherboard on top of the conformal just to be safe, and really pouring cola or deionized water? How about just benching the board and posting some results good or bad? I am sure we (the users) will figure out if this is marketing at it's finest or an actual good idea. I know you have lots of hate for any vendor other than Gigabyte and that is ok with me, but I usually like to choose whoever has the fastest, easiest to bench boards (with proper bios support) regardless of brand so if everything is dialed on the Gigabyte like I keep hearing you will see me benching a Z87 OC X.
