Thanks, how about the RAID setup? Will the Virtu MVP works under RAID setup?
Sorry you are having problems, but as you can see its OK for me.
Great to see it working for both of you. Any tip to solve my issue, running the same bios as you btb and x64 Windows 7 too. Older releases activates without any problem, could it be driver related? :S Running latest WHLQ drivers from Nvidia for my 580gtx and latest chipset drivers 9.3.0.1021.
I don't about drivers, but you could try uninstalling, then manually delete the Lucidlogix folder under your user name (C:\Users\yourusername\Lucidlogix), reboot and try a fresh instal.
Failing that put the previous version back. Sorry, wish I could be more helpful.
I finally solved it! The activation issue was caused by the newest Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver 11.5.0.1207. After downgrading it was activated instantly without any problem what so ever. I don't understand how this can interfere with the activation, but that's another story...
Great, always satisfying when you solve it yourself. I tried that RST version, but went back to the previous one because of the memory leak, that was before updating Virtu.
On my MVG, I'm having an annoying issue. I've been moving my pc around a lot from the desk to the work bench, as parts come in for my watercooling, so I've been plugging and unplugging the PSU a lot. Every time I unplug and replug the PSU from the wall, the red LED "moat" at the bottom near the supreme FX chip turns itself back on. I've disabled it in the UEFI about 8 times now; it just keeps coming back on whent he PSU gets unplugged.
UEFI version 1101
ErP enabled
RAM set to 1600mhz @ 1.5v
Everything else is at it's stock setting

I'm using it. It gives a faster boot time.

I just flashed to this Bios 2 days ago. So far no problems. Reentered my OC settings all benches the same. Voltages are identical.
Like DKS said boot times are really fast.
Funny story right after I flashed the bios everything seemed great. Got up later that day to play some BF3. There was insane frame skipping. I brought up the perfoverlayvisible graph and there were CPU spikes going half way up my screen. I almost had a heart attack thought the bios update must have screwed something up. Turns out it was just EA having network problems or something. Terrible timing for that.

that's not funny with BF3! I was close to checking/cleaning cooling, bios upgrades, driver and configuration changes that would for sure break my 100% stable computer
it's good I've seen people on chat complaining and then read on EA forums heart attack situation indeedI got a pretty simple question here. I know enough to build my own computer but not alot more than that.
I just bench tested (for the first time) my ASUS P8-Z77-V Pro with the memory, cpu, GPU, SSD, DVD drive, and firewire card. Actually i worked my way up in the number of components and everything seems to be working fine.
Once i installed the SSD, it still posts and i see the drive in BIOS, but the boot device LED stays lit and after leaving bios the screen says "Reboot and select proper boot device, or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key." I don't have an OS on the SSD yet. So is that the proper response i should be getting? I'm guessing without an OS, this is what i should see?
But why is the boot device LED lit?
Thanks. Jerry.

That sounds normal. If there is no operating system on the SSD it technically isnt bootable.
The LED is just telling you thats where it froze on the boot process. Once you install an operating system everything should be fine. Put your windows disc in the DVD drive and that light will go out because it will boot from the DVD. Then you can install windows on the SSD.
Just make sure your SATA controller is set to AHCI mode. It should be by default.
Good Luck

I just installed the newest 1406 BIOS on my P8Z77-M PRO. On rebooting I was forced to enter the BIOS setup, where I saw that my manual memory timings were all reset to auto. Is it always the case that BIOS settings are reset on an upgrade?
As far as my experience goes, yes.
Does the 2x Intel (gray) SATA 6 Gb/s ports perform better then the 2x SATA 6 Gb/s ports by ASMedia?
Or is the write/read performance equal? (Don't care about the Intel Smart Response/Intel Rapid start/Intel smart connect Technology that comes with the Intel ports). Are there any benchmarks available for this? could not find any at google.

Hi all and hi Raja
I just got the z77 sabertooth and i have to say it the best looking board i have had.
So the install of the board went good booted up with no problems.
Ok now befor i pick up this board i seen you raja in a youtube vid using a tool in AISuite_II_
call auto tune.
So i install AISuite_II_ and there is no auto tune did aus take that app out for some reson
I know every one is going to say just use the bios to o/c but the truth is i suck at it.
I have a H100 for a cooler not to sure what a safe o/c would be for that
anyway will auto tune be in the next AISuite_II_ for the z77 sabertooth.
thanks guy and raja

I have the same board too and was also curious about the differences.
Yes this is normal.
It is actually recommended that you load optimized defaults, save, reboot and then make your customized settings after flashing your BIOS. I've actually had instances in the past, although very uncommon, where not doing this has caused odd and buggy behavior until loading optimized defaults.
That was probably JJ in the video, not me
The Sabertooth does not have Auto-Tune AFAIK.
Download the Z77 UEFI guide (link is in the 1st post of the thread) and post any questions you have on overclocking here.

Thanks raja for looking at my post.
I have a quiton that i can not figer out.
I have a gtx 670 sc 4gb card
This is my set up.
And this is my moms setup
it has the p67 pro.
Any way i took my gtx 670 card and ran 3dmark11 on my set up and then i put it in to my moms set up.
Bother pc just had a fresh install of win7 with all updates and newest driver from asus.
same nvidia driver same o/c on the cpus 4.3 and + 25 onthe gpu and memory offset.
so all the was after the updates and driver was 3dmark11.
so with my set up i got p8941
On my moms set up with my gtx 670 pluged into it it for p9268
And i ran the bench like 4 times on each pc and her set up alway beat me.
so my qution is what do i have set up wrong should not my set up beat her set up
do,nt the z77 have pci-e 3.0 to make you card a bit faster
and the 3570k should out pre form the 2500k.
Did i wast my money on ivy and the z77.

PCIe 3 wouldn't make a larget difference (if any).
What you should look at is where you're losing the points, in the GPU tests or the Physx test .. forget the overall P score for now.
RAM makes a slight difference but I doubt that would explain the 300 point difference. Another check is to look at the GPU clocks during the run, is it downclocking in your system for some reason, etc.

Hi raja .
I want to o/c my 3570k
should i go with a offset voltage or manual
if offset what offset should i start with
if manul what manual valtage should i start with.
Can i use xmp if i o/c
Should i leve llc on auto when i star my frist o/c or should i set it to high
so what i am asking what setting should i change in the bios be for i o/c for the frist time.

I assume these numbers represent the video card at the limit? Then they're about 3-4% different, and I'd say the video drivers behavior or some difference in the host HW likely changes the timing slightly for the worse for this video card - the host doesn't have to be slower, just different. I would view this as something more like margin of error than one machine being faster than the other.
I haven't tested it myself, but typically the Intel ports perform better than 3rd party (actually I've never seen 3rd party controllers perform better except on high end add-in RAID cards). I can't imagine ASMedia/Marvell etc. writing better drivers than Intel either.

Just checked...
New BIOS 1504 for Z77 mobos from Asus - ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1155/
choose the folder with your model and voila

Offset is preferred but you will have to put in some time testing the full load voltage as you proceed.
