Looks too good to be true!

Added Bios menu pics and some more Installed pics. Didn't get to Benchmarking cause I OC'd a little and having OCCT running for stability and my girlfriend wanted to play with her new Creative Zen MP3 player. Will hopefully get benchmarks posted tonight, depending on weather since it's raining here, and when I get home.

Having some issues with the system guys so trying to determine what piece of hardware is the problem. OCCT and Prime95 keep reporting an error on either core 0 or 1 even at stock settings. Memory passed 3 passes of Memtest86 @ default settings and @ 1600 8-8-8-20-40 setting so I'm thinking it's a proc issue.

Sorry to hear that mate, hope you get it sorted

Nice info and pics ken! Very nice motherboard.

MKmods · Jul 5, 2009

I had the Crosshair II for a while and it was pretty nice. I hope the prob is something simple.
(tubing/wiring looks really nice)

Figured it out!! I had to enable both Extreme OV and CPU Load-Line Calibration.

Both aid in stabilizing the CPU V-core. Once I did that I was able to run OCCT CPU Test and Linpack for each one hour test without issues. GAME ON!!

You play MLB2k9 on your PC? or Console?

Can't wait for the benchies. :toast:

yes

http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=181&l3=896&l4=0&model=3063&modelmenu=1

and the boards price is lower because its amd + amd (incentive) no other reason and its low compared to other rogs. Its VERY fast/stable + 200 over MA for me anyway. comes with all the rog stuff. The page should answer most those qs above

happy OCing ken!!!!

Yes, the board does come with the Q-shield. The only thing I wish they would have added in the packaging is some crossfire cables but since most ATI cards come with one it's not a big deal. I am workiing on benchmarks and plain on getting ALL of them put up tomorrow night. Benchmarks are being ran with my 24-7 settings.

Didn't see ya there CDdude but to answer your question I play MLB2k9 on PC...screw consoles :laugh:

I just don't have the money for a console so my philosophy is to be against what I can't afford:shadedshu

He says , with his shiney new Crosshair III sitting inside his case

kenkickr · Jul 6, 2009

What can I say...I'm broke now

I tried to get some benchies(Sandra CPU and Mem, Kribi, Cinebench, and PCMark Vantage) but ran out of time since the neighbor upstairs can't drive his car yet and wanted me to run by the bank for him. I'll post some tonight and have all of them up by tomorrow night. Oh yeah, I beat the Cardinals 6-1 last night CDdude if interested.

WarEagleAU · Jul 6, 2009

Sweet. That Q-Shield is the best thing ever included in a Mobo. Im not too hassled by the Crossfire Connector, shit I have like 3 or 4 of them here from my cards

. Cannot wait until I get mine.

I seriously need to stop :eek:

I love and hate new system builds cause sometimes I just can't stop. Decided to buy some Xigmatek Dragoon N422 ramsinks, http://www.xigmatek.com/product/air-dragoon-n422.php. They just look so damn cool :respect:
