There has to be somthin wrong of I just have a crappy MB and CPU!

lol your board is one of the best, your CPU sucks tho most likely, that is how it is not many people are able to do 4.8ghz stable with Ivy Bridge. At least not with your cooling. Try lowering CPu PLL. Perhaps disable power savings and turbo.

Thanks for reply.

I did try and also install 296.10, but it would not let me (when checking for compatible hardware it says I don't have any). I will see if pre-296 drivers do this too.

I did plug in the usb cable yes. I installed the bluetooth driver successfully I think.

Edit:
I tried the 295.73 driver but it said "The graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware".

Also, when I start my computer I get a pop-up from WiFi Share saying something similar to "Unable to detect the WiFi card!".

Conners, can you please tell me where to find these newer BIOS's (F6a?) for the G1. Sniper 3.
All I can see on the Gigabyte website is F3 and F4.

Thanks.

Edit:
Nevermind, I found it on the TweakTown forums. Thanks for bringing that to my attention though, it fixed my Nvidia driver crashing problem!!!

I take it back. I am still getting nvidia driver crash errors with my gigabyte gtx 670, even with the F6a BIOS.
Sigh, this really sucks. I guess I will try all the different beta BIOSes on TweakTown.

I'm having a tough time keeping temps down, even with a slight 4.0GHz overclock. Cores reached 76, 84 86, and 81 degrees in Real Temp. Here are my specs:

Sniper M3
i5 3570k
Kingston HyperX Genesis DDR3 1600Mhz (4x2GB)
Zalman CNPS8900 Extreme CPU Cooler (with Arctic Cooling MX-4)
AMD Radeon 6670 HD
Antec BP550 Plus 550W Power Supply
LG DVD-RW
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB HDD
Silverstone Grandia GD07 Case (includes three 120mm fans)


The only settings I've changed in the BIOS are:
- set the Memory profile to "Profile 1" which makes it automatically run at 1600MHz with 1.65V.
- turned off all of the power saving features (C1E, EIST, etc).
- CPU clock ratio to 40
- VTT down to 1.02
- PLL down to 1.5

I never touched the CPU VCore so it remains set to auto. In CPU-Z the Voltage shows as 1.020 and the clock of course at 4000Mhz. I ran an IntelBurnTest (Times to Run = 10, Maximum RAM) and it passed, but as mentioned the temps were very high. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I know some chips are better than others but these temps seem abnormally high for this amount of overclock. I also noticed large jumps in temp in RealTemp. For instance, a core would be moving between 64-66 degrees when at 99.9% load, and then all of a sudden would jump up to between 79-81 at 100% load in a just split second (maybe this is normal for an IntelBurnTest, not sure).

Thanks,

Mike

Changing BIOS versions won't do anything. There is something wrong with your GPU, Windows install or running something that conflicts. Disable everything under MSCONFG start-up and see if it still happens.

the vcore on auto at 4ghz is not at 1.02v that is actually your CPu VTT voltage, get the latest version of CPUz, 1.60.1 and use it. Set your vcore to 1.2v and then go down from there. It is probably above 1.2v right now. Or perhaps even try 1.15v. Also set LLC to high.

Hey man actually only one thing I would change to make life easier for you, just set DRAM timing select to quick instead of expert. Quick allows you to set all the timings for all channels, while expert requires to to set all the timings individually per channel.
