Well
I got another communication over at the ROG Forums,

"Hello,

They have just issued an advanced RMA per your request and pending stock check for this process at the moment.

Sorry about your issue and thank you for your time!"


:good:

Nice ........... :thumbsup:

I hope they have to give me a newer version of that board RIVE BLACK! :scared:

lil up date ,
an E mail response from Asus USA
[QUOTE]Dear Mr Settimi,

Thank you for your response and the images have been documented. In the meantime I'm waiting for the stock check result to come back for your replacement unit. You may have the unit shipped back to us first to proceed with replacement process. A prepaid shipping label will be provided and please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,[/QUOTE]

UGH!
You know by the time I get this back I'll probably find a job and be working..............

well at least it looks like it is going through :)

YEAH it does, he said they sent me an advanced shipping label? Where would I get it, he hasn't replied yet.
They did use Fedex? Would it be there?

should have e-mailed it to you ?

or on their site

Yeah he replied the label will be sent when they find the board............ ugh!

OK,
I got the RMA! I have to go to another town as they sent a pre paid shipping label to Fedex only one is in the next town over...

AWESOME!!!

NOT SO FAST :ohcrap:

Yeah,
My last message from Asus AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICES(read bottom to the top)
WTF are they testing, drop shipping? Thank god I'm in NY is all I can say :morpheus:

MY NEXT ASUS RMA PROCESS, sell it broken on E bay DONE!

Aaron,

I appreciate your efforts and the efforts of entire Asus team, However, it is possible I have not made it clear that this is motherboard is esential for me to make a living, What can I do to expidite this process? I simply cannot afford to be without my computer indefinantly. Please let me know a definative time frame that I can expect a replacment unit so I can notify my customers when i will be back up and running.

Sincerly,


Or tell him you are a professional spammer and you have his e-mail address .......... :laughing:

Haaaaaaaaa

OK well I miss read his Email as he meant testing the new motherboard, not testing the broken one. If its a new motherboard what is there to test? Seriously, I'll make sure it gets put through its paces :clapping:I hope its a black but then again the black may not work with SB-E? Oh well...............

Finally.................. Had to reformat as the raid was scewed. Gonna take some time to relearn this setup.:blush:

Mom's lil baby love shortnin bread :taunt:

The beauty of this board up to four GPU'S at once. sucking up some bionts, as always no world record but they r good boints. And I have no LN-2 or D ice (for now).

Keep rockin Philly, nice work bro .......... :thumbsup:

Thanks man! :good:

Keep burnin the torch Philly, :)

Trying man, these drivers are ridicules no matter witch camp.....................

Scores go down on three way 580'S? What am I missing? LN-2?

Got to bring more power to the party :ohcrap:

You mean volt mode and subzero temps or..............if I use the three way bridge the board shows the middle card as X1?

Overclocked 3930 = 175 to 200 TDP

3x overclocked 580 = 900 TDP

hard drive fans and so fourth, willing to bet you are low on power

what PS are you using ? just piggy back another one on you have laying around and run the two fo the cards off of that and see if it helps

LOL I already was, I have the corsair AX1200 but can only run two cards as all the CPU power plugs take all my extra pony tails. So I jumper pinned my test PSU for the third 580. It still seems like it's starving, any other hints? I'm open fer blowing stuff up :clapping:

Well if you ask me it can only be three things here

1. Power supply dieing

2. Video card dieing

3. Both Dieing

:ohcrap:

something is dying i beat three 580's with two 4890 :ohcrap: What about when I'm in windows i hit the thing on my GPU-Z and it show the middle card at 1X?

Inching along :cool3:

o yea there is a problem if that is the case bro ?

working it bro , awesome :thumbsup:

OK, well assuming the best, when I add the bench test PSU is when I have issue's. This AX is not even two years old, I bought it shortly after joining here. You are right the 580's draw a TON of power, I may need to invest in a second GOOD PSU. SO any way, I'm bringin out the guns............

You can see in this photo the PSU plugs on the mainboard, there is a third plug near the I/O/sound for multi GPU'S. with that plugged in I can only power up two GPU'S with double 6 pin's each. Second photo is the gun's, I was to lazy to unwrap them. First up is my 6950's, just two.

use a 6 pin x Molex adapter to power the PCIE lanes

the 1200 will struggle as 3 of them will tax your 1200 all by them selves with no CPU

or it will simply melt on the spot ... :laughing:

I would look at more power

take one of them and the CPU and perf's off one and two of them off a dedicated 850 or better

Thanks Bro!

Got it, be a while before I load Nvidia's back in, now have two extra 8 pin pony tails waiting for them. :thumbsup:

OK Fire strike extreme WTF am I doing wrong? I'm clocked out for now but score sucks ass? I tried turning every off/on, nothing changes it? HELP! :ohcrap:
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1383869

I'm lower than a laptop :laughing:

yea I get may ass kicked by that bench as well

Drivers are everything, at least from what I have found, went from zero to hero, now the 327 won't even run it ?

bad drivers? are you running performance or extreme

I'm clocked around 4900 with 1.5v and up Vssa(UGH that's for the IMC and I'm not clocking the memory), I turn off C states on the CPU. But leave everything else alone. I assume this is where my issue is........THANKS Bro!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Extreme, the SLI preformance on this bench sucks as well

However I think I have crippled my 3930K ......... :ohcrap:

WOW MAN!
I can feel ya, not cool! Yeah under the AI suite in windows i was going Extreme. I mostly bump the + v core, turn to manual on the CPU multi, then tweak it out in windows with AI. mine requires insane voltage just to run my memory 2133 witch is its speed, it will default the mem@1600 even then it volts it out at 1.6 or higher :scared:. I'm not sure why, unless its just a chip that likes a lot witch will get me no where fast I assume. May have to flee bay it, n start fresh.............or kill it first.

yea my IMC can barley do 2000 ........ :ohcrap:

tightens down nicely though, running 8-9-9-26 1T @ 2008 Mhz

can run 2133 but really have to loosen it up

sort of like an old girlfriend of mine ..... :laughing:

HA!

My old chip could do 2400, but this one wants to much voltage for that speed...Can I ram an RMA'D chip? Gonna see if I can get any XP love, idle temps are high not sure why.
