Hi everyone, i'll first introduce, I'm Kanzen, french, 24 yo and the reason i'm posting is that I have issues with my mobo and mostly its BIOS.

Like everyone I had corruption data error when I ran my E8400 overclocked (CRC errors, Photoshop registration data loss :s...etc), then I saw a BIOS update that fixes this, the 0704 (I had the 0402). And so I updated it, and not only it didn't fix the corruption data issues but I can't overclock my E8400 properly anymore.

Before I updated it, my E8400 ran stable for almost 6h of Orthos @ 3.8 Ghz (1.3v watercooled), now I can barely reach 3.6 Ghz, any further increase of FSB leads to a crash under windows (vista ultimate 32 bits genuine).

I tried to increase voltages but nothing (1.34v vcore, 1.9v memory, 1.6v NB), lower my memory timings, but didn't take either, and so I'd like to know if anyone has/had this problem and how he or she managed to fix it (fix this data corruption bug while being able to overclock nicely).

It's a real shame that a motherboard this expensive which vocation is gaming and overclock, can't even overclock, even though I should have went for X48...

Thank you very much for your help.

Sounds to me like they CASTRATED THE PERFORMANCE AGAIN... to stop the issue..(Edit: Typical NVIDIA Modus Operandi)

It makes alot of sense I'll buy a $450.00 Enthusiast MOBO to experience Data Corruption, and Performance Castration. That's the ticket !! Yep !!

790i Continues to be as Pathetic as all the other NVIDIA Chipsets...

How can a Company that can be so Dominant in the Video Card Arena Be so Malignant in this sector of the Market ?? I swear that their chipsets are made in some Factory that is in Orbit around URANUS.

You should Raise Hell With ASUS and NVIDIA !! They Deserve it !
