cdawall · Apr 15, 2008

From nearest to the NB it goes dual, dual, single, single. It's the only way it will work with quadfire.

Been looking at this board now for a month. How does it preform?
and good luck with the vista install...*fingers crossed*

Have a fan blowing in my open case, so that should be fine for air, as far as performance goes, I have no idea how to overclock this thing yet since Asus has to rename all the AMD bios settings I know and love. It's going to be a process.

cdawall · Apr 15, 2008

are you kidding me well that ones off my list

farlex85 · Apr 15, 2008

Nice. I hope those scale well. Lookin forward to some benchies.

if ur selling any of those 3850s at a nice price lemme know (if they are 512's)

freaksavior · Apr 15, 2008

subscribed...looking forward to this one. and i want a score in my thread or i will disown/ban you from it :laugh:

erocker · Apr 15, 2008

Lol, I forgot I have to do a PSU swap with my other computer. It's been a couple hours already, I'm still tweaking Vista. Everything is going well so far.

acousticlemur · Apr 15, 2008

so far it looks amazing man. that is the board i was planing on using in my next build. after this is all said and done i would like your comments on it if you would. but DAMN that is a sexy ass computer!!!!

erocker · Apr 15, 2008

I'm thinking if I want these tests to work out correctly, I'm going to need a 512mb 3850. But here it is, at very unoptimized settings. There are some bugs with crossfire, so I'm going to give some other things a try, but I have to sleep.

First run with 3870+3850

Closest relative score on the 3dMark thread: 17, CrackerJack - HD2900GT X-Fire @ 800/1000 - 11428 - A64 X2 5000+ @ 3204.5Mhz - 200.3FSB

erocker · Apr 15, 2008

I'm having a lot of problems, most stemming from Vista and the fact I don't know my way around this board too well. If anyone can help me out, here's the link. http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=57817 I'm using both of the blue slots (which I thought were x16) but they are coming up as x8. I'm sure it's a bios setting or something. Help.

jbunch07 · Apr 15, 2008

i wish i could help ya out but asus changes so many setting in the bios i dknt know what half of them mean...thats why i bought the gigabyte board

MKmods · Apr 15, 2008

when you are in the bios go to "ADVANCED"

than in Advanced click on the "PCI Express Config" tab

the adjustments are there.

for 2 cards the blues are X16 and the blacks are X1
for 3 cards the order(from the top PCI E down) is X16 x1 x8 x8
and X8 X8 X16 X1
for 4 cards X8 X8 X8 X8

erocker · Apr 15, 2008

I've gone throught those settings already. My score with a single 3870 is about 9800 with the same clocks on the 5000+ so, crossfire is working, just not sure how well though. In CCC under crossfire, it immediately enables crossfire with two cards, that wasn't the case with XP. Also CCC says that it's not running at optimal performance. I'm plain confused now. :confused:

I have tons of issues with crossfire in Vista. It seems to work on its own pretty easily, but it never works just right. So I gave up and went back to XP.

erocker · Apr 15, 2008

Yeah, I'm about to give up on this crap for now. Vista sucks (there I said it), this motherboard is hard to understand, and there is basically no information on doing anything with it anywhere. I'm selling the 3850 to get a 512mb version, so check my [fs] thread on it and make me an offer. I'm going back to my other system for now. After countless builds throughout my life, I've never had such a hard time. AMD and or Microsoft really need to get thier act together with thier drivers.:shadedshu I mean, c'mon where is the support from AMD on this. Nothing on thier web page, and the crossfire section in the 790fx manual (on a board for CrossfireX) is talking about old school slaves, masters, and dongles for crying out loud! Pfft! :mad:

erocker · Apr 15, 2008

Ooh, and a whopping difference between two 3870's and a 3870 + 3850. :rolleyes:

There's just something not right going on here. I've pretty much concluded that my memory is horrible as I can't get it to do even 800mhz, and who knows what's wrong with crosffire?

jbunch07 · Apr 16, 2008

if your scores are that close it might be cpu problems

erocker · Apr 23, 2008

*Update. Ok, I have my 750quad moved into the AMD rig now, and trifire will be commencing shorty. Unfortunately I have this 5000+ bottlenecking my system but I will try running bench's at different resolutions to see if it helps any.

CrackerJack · Apr 23, 2008

Dude that setup looks AWESOME!!!

erocker · Apr 23, 2008

Thanks man! All it needs is a Phenom 9850. All erocker needs is some money!
