yeah that used to work if it happened on non-subzero cooling for me too

it is very rare for them to revive after subzero with FF

but i have seen one of them spring back up i think >> not for long :thumbdown:

Oh man, that sucks.
Really sorry to hear that it all went tits up at the end.


Put me down as another 790i hater, I had high hopes when I had mine, but it was just one issue after another.

yeah i had high hopes too
it was a great board my first one and really was very little trouble for me which was a bit of surprise cause so many ppl reporting all sorts of issues

but i killed it with condesation i think

errr then it started goin to shit one after another
only was without issues was that digital PWM but i could not get past 580FPS so i gave up on 790i altogether

true tho, i think this board is great, and very very fast, but it does have a hell load of problems.

yea dinos, thats why i got so ANGRY. cause with the eraser, it just died after running fine..

makes me not believe in erazer :?.

nah my cpu can tank it :D. If anything's going to die, my cpu would be the killer ^_^

Every single time I ran into an FF problem, all I needed to do was pop a different cpu into the motherboard and it booted up.

Its of worthy note that I was going between the yorkies and kentsfield processors in order to get out of the FF blues. So it may be related to the cpu's stock fsb rating e.g. 1066 vs 1333 vs 1600 mhz. But I'll tell yah, it worked immediately.

Good Luck Vivi.

I wonder if the small amount of eraser that I used on the Rampage Extreme may have been the issue. Dunno but I was in windows just fine, no video corruption with eraser covering the entire gpu pcb. Go Fish i guess, the RE is poopoo.

press on the bios chip pretty hard..... trust me ;)

also check and see if you have a red LED near the fan header... lemme know

the motherboards that i hated in my overclocking history was 680i and 780i so i never touched 790i :))

here an advice, dont loose time with it :P :P

what erazer though
cause there are some shit ones that sweat very quick

Not again!
All your sessions seem to be doomed recently
I was wondering where you were, was hoping to hear some scores, :(
Unlucky about the board, but im sure youll have another pop at it next weekend ;)
