Thanks Dumo, someone has to cover it for TPU, clearly ASUS ain't sending me one lulz.

Thanks Cadaveca

Much simpler than Rampage IV


Driver and utilities

Thanks Cadaveca

NP!. I jsut re-read my post, might have been taken wrong...I am having shoulder surgery April 10th, so even if ASUS did want to send me one, I'd not be able to review it in a decent time frame anyway.


Eager to see what ya get, looks killer.

What's with the funky fonts?

 

[dumo]

Note: ***Activated with only extreme cooling on cpu***

LN2 mode

Put a jumper at location marked red

Bios with LN2 extreme profile 1 activated. BCLK boot @ 106, Multies @ 56 and mem. @ 2261 (same settings with profile 2, only main voltage settings are different)

Voltage settings LN2 profile 1

Voltage settings LN2 profile 2

Clearly you have no idea how busy the rep at Asus is.

It has nothing to do with ASUS, and you're a troll?




Read up a few posts....

This BIOSes are just mind blowing ..will LN2 become mainstream now ? lol ,thanks Dumo for this sneak pic

Ddr3 2933

Newest bios 0650 with higher dram ratios...DDR3 2933 and 3000

Xtreme tweaking: when enabled may improve some benchmarks performance ie. 3D 2001

 

[erocker]

Wow, 2.93ghz ram! I have processors running at lesser frequency.

 

[coolhand411]

this is still at 1.65V ?

 

[dumo]

this is still at 1.65V ?

1.71 Vdimm. Kits rated for 2400 Cas 9 1.65V.

I'm pretty sure there will be a bunch of new DDR3 2800+ waiting to be release once NDA is up...price will be crazy though

Best thing is to hold on to 2X2GB PSC, Hynix, bbse or even the old Elpida hyper...don't sell it yet!

Even those Samsung 4Gb YHKO 30nm can do 2933 @ 1.7 Vdimm on M5G

Edit;had to bump your thread in the other forum ..couldn't resist

 

[dumo]

Good memory scalability with most of DDR3 module

 

[cadaveca]

Nice. Looks like Z77 is gonna be fun for ram clocking!

 

[cadaveca]

It just keeps on giving! I am so looking forward to this!

LucidLogix Virtu MVP

Its GPU Virtualization assigns task to the best available graphic source while virtual Vsync gives soother gaming experience. Supports Win. 7, NV GF4/5/6xx and AMD HD5/6/7xx

Heres how to enable it when using discrete GPU (d mode)

Set primary display to PCIE and enable IGPU Multi-Monitor support in bios then install both Intel graphics accelerator and LucidLogix Virtu MVP

 

[dumo]

MVP d mode with 5870 Xfire...

 

[coolhand411]

yes, MVP won't work with multiple GPU's

 

[Woomack]

I couldn't make it work even with one gfx so far ( tested only with GF430 ). Lucid software is crashing at start ... will try on new system later.
I got M5G 2 days ago. I won't comment that was damaged because of box design or whatever, not shipping fault. Except that I really like this board.
I didn't have much time so I only made some fast runs on Celeron G530 http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2319095 .

I already saw this thread before I even had M5G, but thanks . Running on 0701 bios almost since beginning.
About MVP ... it's working fine on fresh system.
