Have you lowered your "LDT" multi or whatever it is called? It is likely at 5 for stock settings, and you probably should have it set at 2-3.
My eVGA 780i A1 = CRAP...NEED HELP

the last 3 evga boards i did builds and overclocks on all had outdated bios. i had crashing problems as well, all three with q6600's though. on a 680i it even changed the multiplier from 8 to 9. that's a really big difference

update your bios, it fixed all of my problems.
edit: pretty sure those instructions above are for a quad, im not sure if its the same for a duo though.

Yes, but I only showed the settings so he can see what I am talking about when I say LDT multi.

im already on the P08 bios.

Thanks, now i need some more people to verify these because in a bunch of threads ive seen people have the virtual / execute/ both disabled.

Ignore the settings, I just used that to point out where the LDT setting is. Just change the LDT to 2 or 3 and ignore the rest! I found this off another site about the EVGA 780i, so it should be under "overclocking" I think. Again, I don't have the EVGA, just drawing from my 780i experience as I also found it a hassle to OC on.

ill agree that the 780i is rough. ive heard of about 3 friends now having troubles ocing quads on it, but not q6600, higher series weird ones.

ya my ram is unlinked and actually running at 800mhz instead of its 1100mhz stock. this board is just being so damn frustrating compared to when i had a 680i a1. so are u saying to leave my lanes at 0 and if i have a problem raise what ever core it is to 50 and go from there?
Originally Posted by PizzaMan You shouldn't need to touch the LTD freq. If you want to play with it, it is found in advanced>clock setting. You should be able to run pretty close to 2000 FSB. I would also leave your multi at stock since it potentially raises NBCC. You should also be fine leaving te GTL lanes on auto with a dual core. If you do play with them this is what I've read. On a dual core, lanes 0 and 2 are linked to core 0 and lanes 1 and 4 and linked to core 1. If core 0 is the culprit for errors raise lane 0 and 2 to 50 and test. Then continue to raise them +5. Also, make sure you have your ram under clocked while you and testing for a stable CPU OC. |

Most likely not. Take the 750i cousin. It's basicly the same NB paired with a different SB. It's able to run 2000 FSB and doesn't even give you the option to change LDT freq. He prbly just needs some more vcore.

honestly im ready to throw this board out the window, but at the same time i dont want to spend money on a new board.

Dude, I can link you to a few threads a few weeks ago of mine with the same thoughts on it. Once I figured the board out, I can reset CMOS, boot and have all my BIOS settings set in a minute or so, and it boots everytime. Just had to get used to what it likes and doesn't. Give me a sec, and I'll post a link to my frustrations...
You can tell how frustrated I am by the "tone" of a few of my posts

I was SO close to throwing in the towel with this board, but I'm glad I perservered and I really like it now.

Could be, but with MY 780i board I need to lower the multi to maximize FSB. I have to run 4x multi to be stable at 400 FSB. If I up to 5, it boots but doesn't make it through post, regardless of voltages set. Side note - I use max vcore until I find my OC, then reduce vcore as much as I can while still being stable.

in my owners manual it says "Disabled", hopefully this will solve the issue. i can't believe i over looked this after checking my bios TONS of times, lol.
