Here you go Ion Sorry its been a couple of days, busy days this time of year, so i left it running over night and all of today. My gpu is running stock and has done for most of its life, only the occasional oc for benching but its been a while and they weren't high oc's by any means. I...

Thats a shame. So far ive just downloaded and set it to work, just got back from work and now going out, so will trawl the threads tomorrow looking at how to better optimize. Cheers guys

After reading the news and seeing the amazing achievement everbody here has contributed towards, ive now felt compelled to chip in myself. I seem to be spending less and less time actually using my pc so while its sitting there idling it may as well do something useful. Quick question, can...

Could be a corrupted bios but if your happy with the way everything else is performing i wouldnt bother. As instg8r said your not missing out on much with a 670. The lucid software works fine for me and its breathed new life into my 6950, i avg 5-10 fps more in most games i play now. Only...

Very strange. I set all mine up with the 6950 as the main display so have not yet actually plugged into the onboard. Wish i had an Ivybridge to see if i would have same problems. I take it all other options in bios have been left at default settings whenever you last cleared cmos?

Every asus board ive owned and there's been a few, since my P5wd2 premium have all had the origonal released bios on the driver cd.

Glad your getting there. Remember to install the intel graphics drivers, reboot then in bios enable the igpu multi monitor otherwise when you try to install lucid virtue mvp it wont recognise youve got it. You might wanna reinstall the chipset drivers too.

I got the same motherboard (Asus Z77-V) a few days ago as a replacement for my P8P67 pro that blew its vrms and my 2500k. Anyway from 1st boot on origonal 0705 bios i had all the options open that you dont, also upgraded to latest 1205 bios with no problems. Only thing i can suggest is...

I just got the asus z77 v and noticed a similar thing when trying my first oc, no matter what i set it stayed at 3.3ghz. Opened up realtemp and unticked the disable turbo check box, all problems gone now :)

Hi guys, just had to setup my old 775 rig because my Asus p8p67 pro decided to blow its vrm's the other day and take my i5 2500k with it :cry: So back to a Asus P5Q3 deluxe and an e8600 for now :D (forgotten how much fun it is to oc properly!) Anyhows, this is what i currently set in bios...

Shame your not in the uk, got a e6420 and e6750 doing nothing. Good luck in your quest

I hope this rumor is not true, i was really looking forward to the next gen console and this has seriously dampened that. It would be a seriously bad move imho. Alot of my games are pre owened and i prob rent a couple a month. Everything you buy through your life you can resell, how can they...

Maybe trash talk but im sure they're gonna take the performance crown again. What i want to know is if they can challenge in the power efficiency, AMD (Ati) seem to have that sewn down especially in xfire/sli

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.

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...
