Javaneze, why change the settings in LLC? I leave mine at Auto and just wandering what do those settings do? I know the options are Regular, High, Ultra High, and Extreme. What do each of these do exactly?

Hi all new to the board and to this thread. I just build my first rig and I love it everything turned out great.

ASUS Sabertooth Z77 Mobo
Intel i7-3770S
Coolermaster 212
16GB Corsair Vengence Low Profile
Antec EarthWatts 750
Corsair Obsidian 650D Case
Samsung 830 128GB SSD for the OS
LG BD-ROM DVD-R

It even booted up the first time no issues. I installed the OS at work using a DP monitor and the iGPU and did not have any issues. When I brought it home I connected a Dell DP>DVI adapter and booted up to see no video. Brought the DP monitor home from work and booted up with native DP and viola video again. Does this mobo support DP>DVI or is the Dell converter jacked up? I know this is not quite an overclocking question but it is related to the mobo. Overall the rig is solid. Been ripping Blu-rays and compressing down to 720p for storage on my NAS getting almost real-time encoding with an average of 20-24 FPS pretty damn good. Built this rig primarily for Blu-Ray ripping/encoding and to server as my Plex Server. I am using Server 2008 R2 as the OS. If anyone has thoughts on my video output conundrum I would be most appreciative.

LLC is used to deal with the vdroop effect.
Helpful reads on vdroop here and here.

Practically, you get a more consistent vcore as you put a more aggressive setting, and a more accurate result to what you manually set for vcore in bios

Leaving it on auto can cause what an auto offset can cause.
More or less voltage than that really needed.

For example, on my current settings, multi 45x, vcore offset +0.005, speedstep & C1E enabled, I get the following results

LLC Regular: idle 0.918v - Load 1.15v / bsod under linx
LLC High: idle 0.968v - Load 1.192v-1.2v / linx stable
LLC Ultra High: idle 1.032v - Load 1.288v / linx stable.

As you can imagine, I stuck with high. biggrin.gif

Hello all,

Im planning on buying this board in the next couple days. I have a strange request though, I live over seas and will be shipping this board home, where i will then pick it up when i visit next week and bring it back to the middle east with me along with my new ram, CPU and CPU cooler.

My question is, is there an way to test all my new equip without greasing the CPU? I want to make sure everything is in working order before I drag it all halfway around the world. SO, would it be safe to just rig everything up real quick without thermal paste? I just want to make sure the board posts and the ram is recognized.

This is my first build and i may be going about this whole thing wrong, feel free to set me straight if thats the case, im here to learn.

If you're getting a CPU cooler, it'll probably come with TIM. To be honest, you'll probably be fine as if the CPU did get too hot, it should hit the TJ and shut off. I'd use TIM anyway though, even a dot is enough just to make some contact between the two.

Can any1 pls help setting up kingston NON xmp memories with sabertooth z77?
This is the memory
blu - 4GB Module - DDR3 1600MHz CL9 DIMM
Part Number: KHX1600C9D3B1/4G
HTS: 8473.30.1140, ECCN: EAR99
Specs: DDR3, 1600MHz, CL9, 1.65V, Unbuffered, Spec Sheet PDF
Profile 1: 1600MHz, 9-9-9, 1.65V
Profile 2: 1333MHz, 9-9-9, 1.5V
It only shows as 1333 and with no XMP available for this I need to adjust several things except the 1600mhz and the 16,5v
these are the kingston instructions but the uefi is quite different from the bios they referring and not sure how to do it.
"Adjust the FSB (Hyper Transport) and the CPU ratio as well to raise the speed of the whole system to match the 1600 MHz speed of the memory, not only the memory clock to the 1600 MHz.

Try to raise the voltage of the Northbridge as well as the module voltage by 0.05V each time. After some try/fail settings you should be able to run the system on the faster timings, even though we cannot guarantee that it will run on the highest one, because the whole system’s stability is also influenced by the other components (HDD, Graphics card, etc) "

Im trying to avoid having to remove any paste when i rebuild later, is that silly? now that im typing it out it seems silly.

Have a special project that I need to start ASAP for a client. Basically start a temporary production environment either using ESXi 5.0 or Workstation 8 while the real production servers are ordered. Just so happens I have the Sabertooth z77 still sitting new in a box and going to use it as a base.
So basically my questions are;
1. I just ordered the 3770 (non-k) this morning specifically for VT-d. Has anyone confirmed that with the latest bios and a non-K IB cpu that VT-d is exposed and not just VT-x?
2. Has anyone installed ESXi 5.0 with the Sabertooth yet? The Intel nic should do well and everything else.
3. Looking to max out the memory at 32gb, but the QVL memory is way too expensive. Looking at Corsair Vengence 32gb kit (4*8gb) of 1600 (CMZ32GX3M4X1600C10) or 1866 (CMZ32GX3M4X1866C10). Neither are on the QVL, but do not see why there would be an issue. Thats a big chunk of change less than the 32gb kit on the QVL.
Thanks

Lord 666, I'm wondering if you have confirmed vt-d support on the Sabertooth z77 board. I'm looking for a board to support ESXi (with vt-d) also and would like to go with this board if it indeed is confirmed to work.

thanks,
Winchenbach

Odds are it will just keep underclocking/undervolting and not even shut off. wink.gif

Wolfie84 it does sound a bit silly mate, why risk damaging it?
The paste can just be wiped away with a cloth or napkin, no need for anything more.


@Tiktok79 you are welcome mate smile.gif
