like i said, my G620 ran for 2 days with onboard gfx (think thats HD2000 though) never tried it with my 2500k, although i have plugged my hdmi cable into the onboard hdmi to see if it saved power whilst watching a film, and it successfully did that. but again im not 100% sure whether that still partially used the gfx cards as they were still fitted.

You need to try it with sandy bridge.

do i need to physically remove the cards, or just swap the monitor cables?
how long roughly til the BSODs and can anything be done to replicate it quickly?

chippy08 · 11 Jul 2011 at 23:15

Yes you need to remove cards and normally about 4 hours but could be less but to be honest not worth messing with your pc when its running fine.

paradisiac · 12 Jul 2011 at 12:53

watched 3 films now, so that must be pushing 4.5-5hours with cards removed and no BSOD yet.

what vcore you running ? are you overclocked or stock ?

4GHz, vcore on auto (0.9* idle, 1.35/6 underload), LLC level 1, multi x40, short duration 230, long duration 200, current core limit 230, dram 1.50

Ok i see not all your setting are at stock but one concern asrock had was the 0.9 idle.

seems to run fine for me, it jumps from 0.9**-1.0* a bit, but had no BSODs at all. cards back in now though, trying to get games to work

Ok thanks for trying anyway.

i ran it all afternoon without gfx fitted (fresh install on my new SSD with my Silver Arrow also added) without any errors :confused:

i did however get the BSOD with the gfx fitted running IBT on a 4.6GHz OC due to not enough voltage on ram. so are you 100% sure its a mobo fault?

yeh, but it could just be that maybe certain memory on this mobo needs more volts than on a different mobo?
just odd i cant, as much as i try, make mine BSOD with the OBV.

chippy08 · 20 Jul 2011 at 00:00

There is many more people with same problem and have tried upping volts and so on with no success.
What memory you using mines the corsair xms.

chippy08 · 20 Jul 2011 at 00:14

Tried and not fixed the BSOD/Freeze issue:

1. Increasing the IGPU voltage to +50ma
2. Changed the dram voltage to what's printed on the ram spec.
3. Reinstalling the windows
4. Move the ram to another slot
5. Replacing the processor
6. Updating from 1.20 Uefi to 1.40 and to 1.50 and to 1.60

im using team elite 1333MHz ram. its rated @ 1.50v, i had to up it to 1.56v to stop the BSOD.

paradisiac · 22 Jul 2011 at 16:38

hi chippy. just finished building a system with this mobo and an i7 2600k chip for a customer. its running onboard gfx so a tad concerned about your issues, even though i cant replicate them on my machine.
do you think leaving it running a video on repeat loop overnight would cause the BSOD if it was to suffer from this, or does it need to be doing more intense stuff.

chippy08 · 22 Jul 2011 at 16:46

You can do anythink go on the web or watch a video or run prime 95 if you wish it dosent seem to matter doing something less cpu intensive or running full pelt.

I actually had a message today fom another user from tweaktown saying he has same problem.

ok cheers

its been running since about 12:30 (but thats been installing windows, drivers, updates.....so not perminantly) so will leave a video on loop (disconnected from net so no pesky windows updates can restart the pc) and if its still running in the morning i can assume it doesnt suffer the same problem as yours?

will have a proper read of that tonghit when i get home. so far i have had no ill effects from running with the OBV.
actually im quite impressed with playback quality.
everything is on stock settings, and on original bios (i imagine 1.10, was that the first one?) havent looked, just a quick enable usb 3.0 legacy, cd boot..... and then into windows install and setup.
