It's also possible that you VCCIO is too high, try lower.

Thanks sneekypeet,
just looked at power plan and it was indeed set to performance. Changed to balanced and seems to have cured the Eist/Speedstep problem.

At the mo all voltages are at default auto setting as are all other bios options except CPU and Dram volts (1.18 and 1.6)
Heres a screen of aisuite reporting voltages at the moment, currently running ram at 1600mhz coz im in slot B1.

What is intels recommended setting or how low do you recommend i go? Things is i never touched this before and it used to work, this is whats frustrating me.

try 1.125v-1.15v VCCIO. Do not set CPU volts to 1.18v, leave it on auto.

try 1.125v-1.15v VCCIO. Do not set CPU volts to 1.18v, leave it on auto.

Ok tried 1.125 and 1.15 and setting cpu volts to auto, also tried both sticks in B1 and B2 still just powers on,off,on,off etc

In the screeny ive moved the stick back to slot A2 everything auto except ram volts timings and setting speed to 2133mhz.

One thing i noticed is when setting a different ram divider from slot B1 or B2 the pc shuts off before rebooting, whereas in slot A1 or A2 there is no shut down between ram dividers.















One thing i noticed is when setting 2133mhz then rebooting the pc shuts off

Could be but why did i not have these problems before.
Thanks for all your help Cadaveca but i dont think im gonna get to the bottom of this, thinking of raising an RMA instead.

Was it you that did a review of this board or similar and did you say you were getting the same set of ram to review aswell earlier? If so will be interesting. If you havnt alreay DONT UPDATE TO BIOS 1704!!!! :laugh: , its probably just coinsedance for me though.

Sweet, look forward to the review.
As a last resort ive posted my findings on the asus forums but not expecting to get anywhere, just a last ditch attempt before Rma'ing. There is one other person who seems to have a simular prob so i'll try and get them to do what ive done.
A beta bios was posted up the other day, tried that with no luck either.

On a side note i just put my finger on the vrm heatsinks to see how hot they were and they are warmish but the southbridge (if thats what its still called) heatsink is very hot, can only just keep my finger on it. Cant be normal can it?

I won't be reviewing the memory. I do motherboards only.

SB heatsink being hot is a good thing, means it's working well, but at the same time, I've reviewed quite a few boards, and not one had a chipset go over 50c.

Psst, it's probably the board. I don't think you damaged it, although it's always possible.

I have a similar problem with a CAS7 kit. Cannot run at its rated timings because ASUS is ignorant about issues with their boards.

MSI has been pushing out BIOS updates with RAM fixes, ASUS has yet to do anything about it and I've had this board for 2 months.

Ironically, I was originally going to switch boards to resolve this issue (but later switched due to other stability issues) since my RAM was on the QVL. Turns out 4 DIMMs didn't work properly, an issue that MSI had fixed within 3 weeks of reporting it to them.

So, like I said; Based on what I've been reading (and experiencing) over the last 2 months, it's probably an issue with the board ASUS has yet to resolve in any BIOS update.

Just a little update on my shannagans with this board.
Last week i tried one more attempt at fixing the problem, tried to go back to an earlier bios than was shipped but got the usual 'this bios is too old' crap and there isnt to my knowledge a engineering sample of afudos for this board to allow that.
So, i went back to origonal bios that shipped (1502), rebooted, cleared cmos, got into bios loaded bios defaults, rebooted again and then she was DEAD!!! Fans spun up, harddrives a whirring and nothing else, not beep, video display nothing. Oh and the red led by the cpu staying on which is supposed to indicate a problem with the cpu.
Quite a few people have apparently had the same issue but the pc just shut off while they were using it.
Some actually did have a dead cpu, others said it was the board and cpu was fine, for a few peeps both had died.
A discussion has started now as to whether or not this board is actually killng cpu's.

So, i sent my cpu and board back to Novatech and now await the outcome of their testing, anyday now. Personally i hope its the board as i never got round to playing with this setup and the potential that my 2500K might of had.:banghead:

Update 2:

Received phone call from Novatech today confirming the motherboard was indeed dead and thankfully my cpu was still alive. Should be receiving cpu and new board back tomorrow.
I hope someones in when they (parcel force) deliver, i'm at work all day and their depot is miles away.
