The Z77 Sabertooth Club.

I did have similar issues as what your describing, I do still have the odd one from time to time when "cooking" the cards using the latest bios, tends to be whatever card is in the second slot moving them around doesnt make any difference, I might try the gen 2 fix as well to iron out the last few issues but touch wood 1805 bios seems to have mostly fixed it
 
Hi stuie, thanks for the info.

If the new BIOS hasn't fixed the problem entirely then I'd be inclined to stay at Gen2 and my current, outdated BIOS. Since I'm not seeing any noticeable performance drop with Gen2, I'd rather run at that and never have any crashes at all than run at Gen3 with a very occasional crash.
 
Me my CPU it's a 2600K, the second generation and not like your, i have no choice to run in 2.0.
I play at medal of honor and my CPUY run at 63...?
I have a CORSAIR H80I and i setup at the maximum cooling possible...!
I am going to put in part my CPU cooling beacose a folow what someone tel me to do and i jump at 80degre... And now io have to underclock my memory at 1333, my memorys are 1600 MUSHKIN REDLINE 6-8-6-24 and before this board i never have that kind of probleme.
I want to be shure my thermal paste steel allrigt after warming at 80 degre and i am shure my cpu TAKE A HUGE IT AT 80 degre, that scare me....

CASE.: CORSAIR GRAPHYTE WHITE T600
MOBO.: SABERTOOTH Z77
CPU.: 2600K
CPU COOLER.: CORSAIR H80I
RAM.: MUSHKIN 1600, 6-8-6-24, CL6
VGA.: EVGA 660ti 3GB

I am going to change my 2 fan on the CPU COOLER, 2x115 CFU.

When i dowload my ram at 1333, 1.5v i can O.C. my CPU on stock voltage but the probleme it,s at 3.8GHz my CPU, the nbormal setting he overheat whit prime95, it's far to be normal this.... That scare me a lot but all start after my CPU overheat at 80 degre.
The onlything it's not brand new on my computer it's my CPU and RAM, even the PSU it's brand new...
In my case i have enuff air to provoque a tornado so it's not the probleme....
I am just to start to be scare i screw my CPU...
 
Modern CPUs have thermal protection built in, it would be extremely difficult for temperature to damage them in the short term. 80c while not brilliant is perfectly acceptable, you get that with stock coolers. In real world use you are getting 63c and that is fine. My only suggestion would be to keep the memory voltage at 1.5v.
 
If i put ""TO MUTCH"" thermal paste, it's possible that made the CPU ""OVERHEAT""...?
Beacose i take out my CPU COOLER and i take out the thermal paste. He have so mutch of this butter that made some... (i serch the good word beacose i am french hihihi...) He have thermal paste kind of liking of my CPU COOLER....!
I take it out and put some new one but just a bit, like the size of the head of a computer screw we use for the hard drive....
At 1.22V, CPU at 4.0GHz i run at 37 degre, that sound normal for you, all the great gentleman helping me...?
 
My RAM is 1600, 6-8-6-24, 1.65V.
I put it at 9-9-9-24, 1333, 1.5V...
I underclock my RAM and my BIOS i put it like when you buy it, the only thing a made it's for my 2 raptor hardrive, i put it at RAID, no choice...

It's what i did, 1.5, 1333

That is fine, maybe try 1600MHz at 9-9-9-24 using 1.5v? Manually type in the settings like voltage and timings. Then use memtest86+ to test that it works, couple of hours of testing is usually enough, you can create a bootable stick here: http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

You want 0 errors and at least 2 passes.

It is possible, did you not use the pre-applied stuff? As long as you didn't use loads you should be ok, a small pea sized blob in the middle of the CPU is usually more than enough. The pressure of the heatsink/cooling head spreads it evenly as you screw it down.

37c idle sounds about right yes. What is it under load? With Prime95 blend?

Whit PRIME95, at 100% that go betwene (the first core to the 4 core), betwene 64 degre at 71 degre...
Core voltage at.: 1.20
Core speed at.: 4.0GHz, 95W
RAM.: 9-9-9-24, underclock at 1333, 1.50V

Something helse you need, information...?
 
It does seem a little high, is the room the computer is in very warm?

You could try a remount with a small blob of thermal paste in the centre of the CPU. Just be sure to clean the old stuff off of the CPU and cooler before trying. Use something like nail polish remover or even better some Isopropyl Alcohol.

What thermal paste do you have/are you using?
 
What do you meen wen you asking me.: the pre-applied stuff...?
My i use.: ARCTIC SILVER 5.
He have something helse bether you can give me some advise about it to get the best result possible...
Becose whit you, all of you answering me i lurn so mutch... It's hard to say only a sheap thank you lol.
I go in the french place beacose i am from Montreal and 200% french and the only thing i lurn it's how to laft about the mistake of someone... You take the time, patience and so many other everything to explane me, showing me and all the rest you did for me....
You are a so great comunity here, you all are gentlemen and i realy apreciate that...
It's 100% shure if i have other probleme or question, i am going to come back here my friends...
 
It's more than one houre PRIME95 run and ""EVERYTHING STAY STABLE...""". I am like a kid at Christmas time seeing all is gifts under the three.... I am so exiting to see everything runing so smouth at low voltage....
I would like to guive you a ""BIG BIG WET KISS TO EVERYONE hihihihi... (joke)""".
In 8 years, trying to do someting stable whit my computer and today.... IT'S DONE.....
 
it's not because you can run prime without getting errors that your computer is stable....
my 3770k can run prime for 20 hours 4.5ghz at 1.26V, but I get some strange crashs on Internet Explorer and sometimes my video driver stop responding... with 1.28V it is stable... so i left 1.285V
 
Prime shows only its Prime stable. Using the PC shows its stable for what you need it to do and is by far the most important stability test.
 
:DYes i understand but mine it's full stable... The only thing is crashing it's me when i play at ""MEDAL OF HONOR WARFIGHTER"" hihihi...
But steel you all give me real good advise here compare the french forum where they just laft at me.... And i ask the same question but in french....

Thank you verry mutch at all of you.
 
Ive just ordered me a new cooler for my asus sabertooth Z77 board, has anyone fitted this cooler yet to the sabertooth Z77

anything I should be aware of?

also ordered me some new fans

4 X 120mm Noiseblocker BlackSilent Pro Fan PL2 Fan
2 X 90mm Noiseblocker BlackSilent Pro Fan

also got some replacments for the sabertooth M/B fans, the little 40mm ones, iam gona swap out the standard cheapo fans for 2 fractal design silent series R2 40mm fans


Hopeing for a near silent PC as possible, I know the silver arrow SB-E can be noisy on full bore but iam thinking that 1000rpm should keep things cool enough.
 
Slight Issue, since I was still on the release version of the bios I decided to update it. Popped onto the Asus website and downloaded 1805. Booted into the bios, used EZFlash, everything has gone ok so far. It says the bios has been updated and needs to be rebooted.

Here is the problem. It reboots and it doesn't post. No picture on the screen at all either on the iGFX or my 7950. I clear the CMOS, it doesn't post, on the plus side it's no longer in a reboot loop. The only LED's on inside are the big green one which is solid colour and the DRAM LED which is solid red.

Any ideas?
