That sounds like a sweet setup.
Also I managed to get the BIOS #1801 for the Crosshair V Formula off a guy from Guru3D Forums. He said ASUS sent it to him directly and should be coming soon for download off the website. Am I going to install it? Not sure :D

Hi , is it really possible to share this BIOS version with me? I just registered on this forum for this reason.. lol :) Would like to test and see if some random issues that occur on my crosshair v formula based system, will be fixed with that bios version.

Here's a description of my problem(s). (Offcourse all advices are welcome.)

Sometimes while everything's working good, my PC gaming monitor or my TV, go black and show nothing for some seconds (2-3 sec.) After that period the picture comes back to normal by itself and everything goes ok again until the next time it'll randomly happen. This only happens when the devices are connected through the HDMI port.

I've tried several graphic cards and have the same issue with whatever I use, so i've made the conclusion it's the motherboard. Currently I'm using the Sapphire HD7970 Ghz through DVI on a Benq monitor and that issue is resolved under that configuration, but when I connect my Philips TV or the same gaming Benq monitor through the HDMI on my current graphics card or even my older Radeon HD 5850, the issue is happening again and again. I have tried different HDMI cables and got the same result aswell , black screen pauses...That's it for the wierd behaviour #1.

Now time for wierd behaviour #2

Another thing is that I 'm also not sure if this motherboard has compatibility issues with SSD's because when I started using a Samsung EVO 250gb's I frequently got blue screens on all recent Windows OS and only while playing games (Win7 x64, Win8 x64 and Win 8.1 x64) Haven't seen them for years , while using classic HDD's or even Hybrid Drives.

I have 8 GBs XMS3 Corsair RAM @ 1600Mhz, Phenom II 1090T @ 3.3GHz, no kind of overclocking on anything and all the latest software and update one possibly could find and install.

(Really sorry if i'm offtopic here)

Thanks

I don't wish to contradict what you are saying but I have a similar setup a7970 and 3 ssds including a pciex one and none of those issues, its odd that you have the blackout one.
Sorry I haven't any ideas though.

Very nice indeed. I am hoping to upgrade my HD 6970 to a HD 8970 providing its worth the performance boost per $$$$. Or I will just wait around for the HD 9000 series. :D
Hi Super XP. It's been a long while, since I last conversed with you. There has been an invasion of Syria for the old oil war syndrome, a couple of police assasinations in St. Louis of unarmed black youth, an ebola epidemic in Africa that only happened because those countries have been bled dry by the imperialists so there was no funds to maintain infrastructure and insure proper nutrition of the people. All in a six month period. Oh I forgot the civil war in Ukraine that is pushing the world closer to war. In more mundane terms I have just started a regular futness program that isalready paying dividends in my well being. Hope life is good and hope your prime minister doesn't infringe on your privacy and build a police state like in the US.

it's been a wile indeed. Hope all is good. Yes it seems the world is going to hell in a hand basket.
The PM of Canada seems like a reasonable gentleman, and quite intelligent. I can't see him infringing on citizen rights and privacy.
But the powers above him may say otherwise.
We shall see, in the meantime.

ok windows 10 build 9926 won't even install they really mess things up it's not compatible with my hardware anymore it will crash before it installs. anyone else having that problem with their crosshair?
found a thread in a forum where people with the crosshair v formula z had the problem with crashing on install and it was the Intel network adapter that was causing it the cvf has the same adapter so I'm going to wait for the next build and hope Microsoft fixes it

i found a fix that would allow windows 10 build 9926 to install first you have to download win 7 network nic driver and put it on a USB stick then you unplug the network cable. then install win 10 when its installed you use the usb stick tp install that driver in windows compatibility mode win 7. then on reboot plug back in your network cable. and presto you are in windows 10 with internet

Thanks for the heads up, but wouldn't you think by now we shouldn't have to go through all the bloody steps to ensure we have the proper drivers via USB sticks by now LOL.

Hey what's up? Been quite busy lately. Not on TechPowerUp as much anymore.
My ROG Crosshair V Formula still rocking hard. But looking for a future upgrade, looking forward to see how the new upcoming AMD FX line of discrete CPU's perform. Rumour has it they are going to arrive either late 2015 or sometime in 2016. Not sure if it will be Pin compatible with Socket AM3+, perhaps it will be AM4+ or something. I am also hoping it either sticks to DDR3 or contain both DDR3/4 IMC's. Because DDR3 is the king so far and should be the dominating RAM choice for many years to come. DDR4 is way too much in its infancy.

WOOW Can't wait. I want my next upgrade to be an AMD, ASUS. Corsair and Sapphire Radeon Graphics. Brand Loyalty until they mess it up.

Will have to agree. Based on AMD's press release, they have built a brand new CPU Architecture from the ground up. This new CPU will be my next upgrade, provided it is what I expect. They are going to have one more GO at it with a series of Excavator Cores (Based on Bulldozer) before they put that design to rest once and for all.

The new top of the line AMD cpu is code named Zen and is a hybrid cpu having both a discreet x86 processor with up to 8 cores and a ARM processor. They will divide the tasks and make throughput very fast, The cache will be much improved as well each cores functions. This cpu will be available 3rd quarter of 2016. It will be on a new socket FM3. It still has the gpu function, but of course this one will be far more advanced in graphics than the current line of apu's. This will implement HSA 1.1, I believe. Hopefully HSA will be off the ground by then. Zen will run on DDR4 memory. This cpu will be on 14nm process.

QUOTE:: We already know AMD has a new architecture planned for 2016 and needless to say the following years are going to become very interesting for Red.

WOOW Can't wait. I want my next upgrade to be an AMD, ASUS. Corsair and Sapphire Radeon Graphics. Brand Loyalty until they mess it up.
My Past Brand Loyalty: OCZ, NVIDIA, Microsoft, AMD, ATI etc.,

watever.. i can find 0 subs from 960T..
I know I made them..+ 5-core too
westmere-ep + watever other 6-core chips i did must've trumped it.
960T still..is good
Mine does 6 cores np
I know I used it for a lot of 5-core stuff.
I really didn't want to cut my super-awesome teammate out.
4-core..pfft...960T is for 5-6 core
It's a Cadillac of a CPU, too.
A lot of things it does faster than Intel current gen stuff..that's for real
Watever.CHV is a bulletproof mobo.

The new top of the line AMD cpu is code named Zen and is a hybrid cpu having both a discreet x86 processor with up to 8 cores and a ARM processor. They will divide the tasks and make throughput very fast, The cache will be much improved as well each cores functions. This cpu will be available 3rd quarter of 2016. It will be on a new socket FM3. It still has the gpu function, but of course this one will be far more advanced in graphics than the current line of apu's. This will implement HSA 1.1, I believe. Hopefully HSA will be off the ground by then. Zen will run on DDR4 memory. This cpu will be on 14nm process.

Yes read about Code Name ZEN. Can't wait to see them in action. Will be going with either ASUS or MSI Gaming Motherboards when I am ready to upgrade.

Sadly. we won't be seeing Zen until next year though, hopefully in Q1, but most likely Q2. I'll probably stick to Asus for the upgrade, as I don't have much to complain about with my current Crosshair V, minus it sometimes looses connection on the USB port for my keyboard, causing me to have to switch it to another port...
