EVGA 750i FTW Overclock Thread

[Malisk]

USB storage devices are not being recognized by windows on my system, including my iPod. My USB mouse and keyboard are fine though...like it just didn't get the storage driver or something. I was able to get my iPod to be recognized by vista but it still doesn't show up in iTunes. Pretty sure its still an issue with the Storage driver though.

Yeah, thats a driver issue, not motherboard.... Apple hardware + Microsoft software


As for the GTLRef voltages, just tried +20 +95 +20 +20 1.3875v core, 3.6GHz and it froze first cpu test in 3DMark06

Back to the drawing board... the second lane in the GTLRef is always at +95mv @ 3.4 and when I try 3.6 it goes to +110mv if set to auto so maybe I should try +120mv....
Its just a very cloudy subject as to what they do and how they will affect the cpu in the long run

I just ordered this board and was wondering if anyone could tell me. Is there a down side to running four 1gb sticks as opposed to 2x2gb? This is the first time I have switched motherboards. Will I have to reinstall XP?

It may hinder your overclock, most of us have found best results with 2 sticks.. But it wont be tha big of a problem, If you have 4x1 already, just go with it for now. If your ordering yo can get 2x2 for under 100$

Yes most definately, new motherboard will have a completely diff set of drivers...
No big deal tho, I do it ever 4-6 months just to get rid of the crap im not using

Aww, I was so excited when I first read about the 3.6 stability with those voltages, to come home from work to find out it didn't work oh well thanks for giving it a shot.

That doesn't explain the flash drive though? Isn't it the motherboard manufacturers responsibility to make sure the drivers allow for USB storage on each OS?

Let us hope it works for our particular "setups" and see how many more updates it takes to get everyone's "setups" fixed.

Thanks for the linky.

I never had this video corruption bug people seem to have, lucky me! I assume its because I only use my gaming pc for gaming, I have another pc I do all my emailing web browsing etc on.

I am getting this board soon, does the latest bios update include all the prior bios updates, or must I install all of them?
