almighty15 maybe you could trade for the UD3P? It's a downgrade price wise but the Extreme seems to give you trouble so.

Moving back to an Nvidia chipset

Sod it im keeping it, gonna lose to much money on it.

Now the problem, RAM!!

My current Geil Black Dragon RAM was holding my so i bought some Apogee GT 1150Mhz RAM which is rated at 1150Mhz - 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1v

Now the board doesn't boot with it installed, it just keeps looping and looping and looping in a continuous loop.

The Memory support list on the gigabyte website says has Apogee 1100Mhz ( 50mhz less then my RAM ) list as being compatible.

I'm running the latest BIOS and have also tried an older one, now i've tried to run Corsair Dominator 1066Mhz RAM in this board before and it never worked

If i can get it running with the new i'll be laughing

Any idea's??

You can't get to BIOS? I hope its not bad slots.

Nah it wont even get to BIOS, the old 800Mhz memory works fine though

have you tried using old ram and upping the ram voltage to like 2.1 or whatever your new ram requires.

Yep, still no good

I have a ? for you guys how bad would it hurt running 2x 4980s in crossfire on this board in 8x ? i got a 24inch lcd so i play games at 1920/1080.

Quite bad depending on the game but the improvment in performance would out weigh the loss

they arent that bad of a hit it seems and only around 5-8% slower then full 16x on both cards.

I actually tested it myself with a GTX 260, 95% of games will be fine but there's a set few which suffer from it quite bad, Crysis, Flight Sim X and the STALKER series all suffer a bad hit when running x8x8

What most people dont relise is that the PCIEX is used to send information to the GPU and if you have a game that streams heavily ( like the games i mensioned above ) the the bandwidth provided by x8 just isn't enough, if you use textures packs on games ( I have Crsysis with Rygels and the STALKER games modded to hell with texture packs ) then you WILL notice a drop in performance and that drop gets bigger and bigger as the resolution increases.
