[Official] ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 Owners Thread/Club - Page 64

Hi all,
I have spent all morning reading this thread and finally decided to join.

Waiting on UPS to get my order from newegg here (and thermaltake).

Have a Thermaltake Armor+LCS (With the clip for the 1155 socket on its way from Thermaltake).

Ordered myself a Sabertooth, Core I7-3770, and Corsair Vengeance 1600 (4X4gb) Ram. Here is to hoping I dont have any issues but this forum has been amazing with all the watch outs so far! (crosses fingers for no DOA parts).

Hey Navit, thanks for trying to help me. I tried downloading the VGA drivers from the Asus saber tooth website but when I try to install it,
It gives me an error message saying" This computer does not meet the minimum requirements of installing the software."
Do you think I have to uninstall my GPU drivers and remove the card in order for it to work?

Once again thank you.

Don't go to asus, go to intel site and get it off there and glad to help

I finally solve it.
I uninstalled my Nvidia drivers, removed my GPU from my case and than it worked.
Thanks bud.

Hello all, I have a Triple Head Nvidia Surround Gaming RIG with 3 Dell Ultrasharp Monitors powered by 2 Nvidia GTX 570 Video cards in SLI. I purchased my 2 Video cards and my 3 monitors like 6 months ago, and I've been wanting to update the case, mobo and cpu on my system for a bit, so I just ordered a new Haf-X Case, IB i7 3770k CPU and an Asus Sabertooth Z77. I might update my SSD also...

I need some advice on memory guys, i got DDR3 2000 Ram on my current setup, but I never got it to run even close to that speed, so i kinda wasted cash there....I don't want that to happen again this time....so I just read all 64 pages of this thread to see what people use....I see a lot of people use DDR3 1866 Ram, I see Corsair Vengeance in a lot of signatures, some others use faster memory up to DDR3 2400.

I'd like to get 16 GB of ram that it's super easy to setup, I plan to do a mild overclock on the CPU but I don't have much free time lately so I like to keep all things simple this time, I'd like to buy ram that runs at specs without any special tweaks.....so i can just focus on the cpu overclock and enjoy my system....

so i'm looking at the QVL for tested ram, i see a G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB 1866 Kit (Model F3-14900CL9Q-16GBXL) kit that it's in the QVL and it's super cheap, that's one option.....The very popular Corsair Vengeance 1866 Kit in the QVL it's a 2x4GB kit CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866 Model CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9R so I'd have to buy 2 of those for 16 GB, I'd prefer buy a 16 GB (4 x 4GB) Vengeance kit but that one is NOT in the QVL, are the modules on the 16 GB kit the same ones on the 8 GB Vengeance kit that is on the QVL? if that 16 Gb kit it's 100% compatible I might get it over the G.Skill kit....

there's also faster ram at cheap prices, but I'm afraid I'd need to do a lot of tweaks to get them working..., what do you guys think? what would be your choice for Memory for this Mobo if you plan to overclock you CPU?

thanks in advance

Thanks for the lead. I researched overscan and it seams to be a monitor/tv problem and I have no adjustments for this. I called ASUS Tech support again and this time told them that I have updated BIOS and it fixed the problem for theBIOS Screen but did not fix the problem in windows. The guy told me he sees this about 5 times a month and I need to replace it MB if the BIOS update didnt fix all problems. First new egg RMA for me.

Really? Did you go to your desktop and right clik to bring up the properties? You are running your Igpu right? If so do what I said and look for graphic options, overscan is in there.

When I connect my corsair h60's 3 pin fan connector to my lamptron fc5 instead of the motherboards's cpu fan header I keep getting "CPU fan error" in bios and it won't load into windows, even though both fans connected to the rad are running. What am I doing wrong? When I connect one fan to the CPU fan header on the motherboard I can get into windows, but I want to control all my fans using the Lamptron.

Also these Assistant fans are doing my nuts in. Even when I select disable they refuse to turn off and spin at 3000rpm. Either I am doing something wrong or there is a bug in the AI suite.

Can someone please help with the above problems?

Well if something is not plugged into the cpu header then you will always get that error, I always just plug a random fan from my case into and never have a problem. have you gone into the bios and tried to disable the cpu fan?
