Socket 2011 3930K Troubles......

PhIlLy ChEeSe · #1 06-25-2013

OK guys need some suggestions here, I have the asus RIVE 2011 and Intel 3930K CPU with two 60GB Intel Cherryville SSD'S in a raid 0, with two 7970's and a corsair AX1200PSU and finally 16 GB of 1866 RipjawX memory.

Kinda a long story as I'm not sure what my problem is here, started off I had over clocked the memory with a preset in the bios of the RIVE board. After a while I noticed I was having issue's (BSOD) and upon reboot I realized the memory was under volted while runnig at over 2400 MHz. From this point on the memory was an issue so I would just run it at default with normal voltage, and it seemed OK.
So one day I decided the memory is covered so i'll warranty it witch Gskill did no issues, while my memory was gone I had a pair of cheap ass ram i got with a PSU purchase from egg heads. Its an 8 GB kit of Vulcan 1600 memory, so only two sticks in the RIVE. I read the manual on witch slots to use, install and rebooted to adjust the settings everything was fine. Then I thought this is free memory so I cranked it up to around 1866 and upped the voltage and boom I lost the boot sector on my raid. So I killed the power and removed the cheap memory thinking ill be ok when the new Gksills get here. Upon return i installed and still no boot sector, so ok i got to lose what was on them. I deleted the raid then rebuilt it, and now it wont see my damm CD drive so I can install the drivers for a raid?
Did I kill the memory controller on the CPU, or the board, the memory is brand new so I assume it is ok. I was thinking of re seating my CPU then in bios set the defaults n see what happens..............

Suggestions

cleared CMOS no changes tried switching the Intel SSD'S to the other controller, cant see the damn CD player? ugh!!!!!! HELP!!!

I had an issue like this with an MSI board after to use powered down incorrectly. My issue was more with the pci-e bus. I had to reseat the CPU and let it sit for awhile without power plugged in. After putting everything back it powered fine with no issues.
But its odd that you you are having issues with your raid. Might just try breaking everything down and start with the basics.

Personally, I think it's a RIVE issue. Had the same problem on mine

What did you end up doing? Dumping it? I pulled the CPU and all connections, it is very dusty so i may wash it off.............or burn it. I may RMA the board then dump the cpu and use the mem fawk it all!

I have a 3960 processor and it still ran 3D benchs at 5.4 - 5.5ghz on SS. I tried to sell both but it didn't sell even at far less than I paid, so I'm thinking about putting into a gaming rig - have no idea yet how fast it will go on water

Yea Witchie 5.1 on SS. I never went LN2 with it. I don't think it would matter.

Got an RMA in the mail, I was gonna reformat with another board then put my SSD'S back in and see but already had a number so.......
Your correct WD im playing BF3 on an Ivy bridge with two 580's, and its a world of difference compared to the SB-E. I'm not sure if its everything is so different but, I get stuttering when im being shoot? My 7970's never had a issue with the game, I may put them in this and see. I love BF3 but this set up makes me want to not even play no more.........Is there a BF3 patch for SLI micro stutter? I never had this issue before that I can recall, as I ran these cards prior to getting my 7970's. I was leaning towards getting rid of it, now I may keep it and sell my IB board. I got the AsRock Extreme 6 it seems OK, but nothing noticeable to speak of. Got the stock cooler on the 3570K

Yeah if I can ever make it to Buffalo from here I may do some D ice runs to see what i can get out of it, just so much else going on right now.

yea I came from a 2600K , night and day, BF3 does well splitting the duty between cores, no patch I am aware of for SLI, but never had the issue and I ran 2x 580's prior to the Titans .... ?

yea for gaming more cores = smother game play.
