Crew Leeghoofd Posted September 23, 2013 Crew Share Posted September 23, 2013 lo all, I recently benched 2 x GTX580 SLI. The only benchmark I couldn't run my 05-06 stable settings on was 3DMark03. Not a lockup, but a complete shutdown of the setup occurred, mostly during GT1. Only one out of 10 runs completed succesfully. Very frustrating... Hardware: ASROCK Z97 OC Formula (1.8bios)4770K ES8GB 2666C10 Corsair RAM2 x GTX 580 296.10-327.23 driverWin7 (yes I know XP is better, but couldn't get SLi properly working)Corsair AX 1200i PSU No idea what exactly was going on, as the GPU clocks and CPU clocks were rockstable in 3D06. Running the 580 cards at stock didn't help a bit, so we could rule that out. Switched OSses and GPU drivers, no cure either. Only lowering the CPU clocks gave me more stability. However this should not be the case as again the above clocks were stable in other benchmarks. One thing that increased stability was to disable the threaded optimization in the Nvidia control panel. 7 runs out of 10 passed, improvement, yet randomly still a shutdown occured. Only way to get better stability on my setup was to lower the uncore (from 55 to 50) and reduce DRAM speed drastically ( from 2600 to 2133-2200MHz) then again could I run the CPU speed at +/-6100MHz Has anyone else also had the same experience ? This behaviour really puzzles me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustytheclown Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 DUDE... the exact same problem with Sofos and me this weekend... trying to run 3x7970 3dmark03 was no go... cpu could run 6.3 06 cputest but not 03...very frustrated... After some hours we let that go and started playing Pro Evolution Soccer instead... We will revisit of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted September 23, 2013 Author Crew Share Posted September 23, 2013 Lol how many FPS under LN2 ? 600 ? could you guys try to see if lowering the ram divider and co works for you guys ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjc Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 No such problems for me, I can run 03 at 6.4ghz and 1750+ gpu. Only had a couple of runs for a quick test but it works fine. FPS is alright too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustytheclown Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 they only thing for sure is i lost about 10 times from Sofos... The things we tried: higher vcore,higher vcache,higher pch voltages,plug 6pin to motherboard for pci-e,second psu,lower temps than usual but nothing worked we will give it a shot next weekend maybe... i think the problem is with win7 and many cards...

jjjc Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 XP or win7 Jjjc ? Ah righto, didn't realise we were just talking about 7. I can do it in 7 but lose 100mhz no matter what I'm benching. So aquamark and 03 both at 6.3 on 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraRaptor Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Maybe VRM frequency is a key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted September 24, 2013 Author Crew Share Posted September 24, 2013 Nope tried all them settings on the ASRock Z87OC, only lowering the DRAM clocks helped here on my setup... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Vivi Posted September 24, 2013 Crew Share Posted September 24, 2013 ooh! In XP i can run 03 at 6.5, in win7 i can run aqua at 6400 and VERY hard to pass 6430, so same as JJJC we losing 100 mhz in win7. Something is up! I did notice my cpu take heavy strain on nature in 01SE xp when i OC'ed the titan past 1500, like there was some serious communication going on between the lanes. My F1 DARK with all that copper became hard to keep the cpu temp stable, had to double up my splashes! (imagine i was still on gemini) So maybe SLI just amplifies that? maybe the PLX boards are better choice? or like terra said PWM freq. i always thought my chip couldnt run 6.5 3d, but i dropped my uncore from 6000 to 5500 then it ran easy, and 5700 was doable but close to limits and instant shutdown. Changing memory divider didnt do anything so i think the IMC is strong enough on this chip for samsung. leeg try change the input volt frequeny plane shift settings (cant remember the exact names) but i believe i got better cb with it shifted +5 units or so. Haswel is such a give or take CPU. if your CB is -100 and you go from 1.5v to 1.6v you might start cb'ing at -95, or if you add uncore, or if you add uncore volts, or if you OC gpu, its like the cb gets worse the more stuff going thru the PWM of the cpu. i had success getting better cb by lowering PCH / VIOA / VIOD volts. my vioa gets -.05v already haha haswell is a fickle misstress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Addict Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 give more vrin if you have shutdowns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted September 24, 2013 Author Crew Share Posted September 24, 2013 Why shutdowns only in 03 Michal ? 01-05-06 all run fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 ^moar input:D Will give this a spin on all of my dud cpu's just pulled all the 580's out of storage, time to start playing some 3D, my brain hurts from all the 32M:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 George, quick heads-up, don't be shocked if you see no loops or init values in 03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinos22 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 no issues here. I've mainly benched 03 on Win7 and it is harder to get max CPU frequency to work but i did get it. straight shutdown could be the result of moisture in first DIMM slot maybe?!? The fact it's only 03 is weird, try a new HDD and new install LOL try a different board maybe also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted September 30, 2013 Author Crew Share Posted September 30, 2013 I can even replicate it on Air Dino So for sure it is not moisture related... It is so weird I can do everything, besides 03 till I lower the ram divider... Somebody from GB PR took my Z87X board away It's never coming back snif snif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinos22 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 i meant to say try any board. to see if this is specifically bios or board related. not always trying to push giga lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Leeghoofd Posted September 30, 2013 Author Crew Share Posted September 30, 2013 Sure I'm aware Kenny, but dropping my 2600 whatever stable 10-12-12-21 to 2133Mhz seems out this world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I know, it looks wrong but it won't dent your score by much and hey.... it's better than not getting a score at all Great catch on the nVI setting though Wait a sec.... have you tried a different PSU? "Random shutdown" with high CPU + RAM clocks. What are your PSU rails doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted September 30, 2013 Author Crew Share Posted September 30, 2013 Tried the CM 1500W and the AX 1200i, not PSU related. Either it's the board or the CPU which has issues with my settings and 03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
