Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe, SG08 Build
- Thread starter Moogoos
- Start date
Nice man. Really like to see how the SB performs on that board!
It's not available here in UK either. It's been listed on a few web stores for a while but no stock and no-one has any reliable date. The other Z77s were available right from the word go - all very fraustrating as I have a 3570K and SUGO 6 waiting. More and more tempting to give up and go Asrock.
I the meantime I'm just hoping owners (few that there are) can post their experiences with getting low-profile air coolers to fit or not (e.g. Samuel 7, Scythe, NH-L12)
I'm not too sure, this is really the only thing I have ever 'waited' for. And I seem to be extremely unlucky as it got recalled a month ago when they were over here in storage ready for dispatch. Now for some reason they aren't even being released any time soon. I found a website over here saying they are going to be up for purchase on the 6th of the 6th. Where another website said they were 'sold out' and it would be 2-3 weeks before getting any more stock. eBay has none listed on it either! I was really looking forward to making this itx build, but it's getting kind of rediculous now.
edit; and like the guy above said; every other single z77 board was availible straight away! Discrimination against ITX!
Very nice job showing everything you've done.
Could you possibly comment on the noise levels and performance of your build? As expected?
Also, just wondering if an after-market cooling solution is needed if I plan a similar build in that case, but not to overclock.
cheers.

I really think this is because of the popularity of this board. Newegg in the States sold out in less than a day. I can't say if it's because of low inventory or demand for this board. My biased opinion is because of the popularity of this board due to the potential.
I'm not sure I follow. This item has not been for available anywhere in Europe. A few Asrocks have been seen and that's it. Asus even said it sold out in US before it had actually gone on sale when asked where it was. So they must have lost many thousand boards somewhere on the high seas because they don't seem to know where they are. Normally companies go out of their way to be helpful pre-sales and get stuff into retailers. Especially when there is demand .
I could be mistaken but I thought there were a few guys in the UK that were able to get their hands on these boards. This is a hot item. Be patient. It will be out shortly enough. I waited for 3 months for this board and I'd wait another month if I had too.
This was a great build. I am waiting on the board to become available again on Newegg. I had been waiting for for months and checked Newegg every day. The one day I didn't check the site is the day it became available and sold out. Kind of pisses me off, but I know everyone that was able to get an order in was probably waiting as long as I was. I just can't believe that, as much as Asus pushed this board before its release, they are now having supply issues. I would think that someone at Asus wouldn't have approved a "Let's market the hell out of this awesome board and then not supply enough of them to last a day on Newegg! Muahahah!!!"
Those are the same fans I'm using! They're currently running at 300 rpm
Edit: I just noticed the cute doggie!
Hey Miss,
How do you setup your fans on your H80? what config?
And are you a girl? Cause I was gonna say maybe you're a brother from a different mother but then your name suggests maybe a sister.
I run them manually in the UEFI. CPU Upper 70, CPU Max Duty 100, CPU Lower 20, CPU Min Duty 20. You can also play around with settings via Fan Xpert, but the above is fine for my silent needs. BTW, you want the pump connected to the chassis header and the fan(s) connected to the CPU header. Otherwise, the fans won't run below 40%. Yes, my name is Jocelyn. I'm originally from Philly and started getting into this stuff when I moved away from home (Pittsburgh, Madison, WI and now Oklahoma City).
Edit: Oh I almost forgot. I use a PWM Y splitter cable, so both run off the CPU header. If you need one of these, make sure you get the one from Gelid and not OKGear. The Gelid has only three pins on the second adapter (four on the first), which is what you want, while the OKGear has four on both. Lastly, I bought the Gelid from a third party on Amazon, but they sent me an OKGear. Again, if you need one, I suggest buying it from MWave. I can confirm they're selling the right cable and the $1 shipping takes 3-5 business days. - http://www.mwave.com/mwave/SKUSearc...pagetitle=Gelid CA-PWM-01 PWM-Y Cable Adapter

Oh nice. Thanks for the tip. What about the fan config physically? How are they setup?
I grew up in Milwaukee. Have a lot of friends that went to Madison.
I hate to go OT, but I loved everything about Madison. How the city is setup, the people, just everything. I miss it dearly. As for config, I edited my post above. Does that answer you question???
Good people. Good people.
I meant I need some advice on if the fans are sucking in or blowing out.
I want to say intaking down, especially because of positive pressure (you'd have dust entering the case from the sides if your fans were exhausting up), but I'm not entirely sure tbh. I'm obsessed with having front to back (SG05, etc.) or bottom to top (FT02/FT03) airflow, which is part of the reason I didn't buy an SG07/SG08. However, that's not to say that it can't or doesn't work
I'd check out this thread and work your way backwards. I'm sure there are others with a similar system - http://www.overclock.net/t/541767/club-for-those-with-beastly-matx-itx-rigs

He used a PWM splitter cable like this:

I thought you had to use your SSD as a cache for your hard drive to use RST, you can do it if you partition your boot drive?
You're referring to rapid storage, while I was referring to rapid start
No, I meant Rapid Start, I thought you had to install the memory sized partition on a Rapid Storage cached drive. If it works on a boot drive, I'll probably buy the Asus and do that.
Cool. Just went to my local parts store and grabbed a couple of these. Thanks!
Were they Gelid? I only ask because OKGear makes some crappy ones that have 4 pins on both connectors. One of the two extension connectors should have four pins and the other should have three.
Not sure who makes them. They are 4 pin all the way though. Generic from my local Central Computer. They seem pretty solid. I'll take a picture later. I have to turn the rad 180 degrees tonight so it will not interfere with the new card.
I can look at mine later to see which pin, but you only want three pins on one of those cables. Otherwise it will report double the speed and it can mess up auto fan control. You only want to be using one "sense" pin. It's either the second or third pin and as mentioned above, I'll take a look in a little bit.
So I made a few big changes. The first was the H60 had a leak. It was so small that I never noticed it but when I was installing the GPU I felt a little bit of liquid. Booooo. Newegg was cool and RMA was approved. Went to my local shop and saw the H80 and thought I wonder if I can fit that thing in there. So I went for it, rethought the wiring and now am really happy with the results. With the 2 sythe PWM fans, one on the CPU the other on the chassis fan header, it's very quiet. Already 2 degrees cooler than before and much quieter.
Wow. Not a whole lot of clearance with the H80. I was hoping to have a build ready in time for the Diablo III release, but I guess I'll have to pull the trigger on the Asrock board instead. I really wanted the Asus, but I'm dissappointed with the lack of availability.
H60 leaking?! that's bad! Did you figure out where is it leaking from?
How do you connect the pump's power? I need some advise on my build. I was planning to plug the pump into the chassis fan header, and the 2 pwm splitted and go to the CPU fan header.
It was leaking right where one of the hoses connects to the rad. It was very very small that I could barely see it. I took it out and shook it and sure enough a little water or whatever odd fluid that's in there came out.
I took a picture to show to Newegg in case:
I connected it directly to a molex adapter. It's optional with this model.
It's your call. I think you can do this but I figured the pump doesn't really need to be adjusted. Just plug it in and let it roll on direct power, use the chassis and CPU header for management of PWM fans. You can split the CPU header fan though too. MissJ84 has set hers up this way.
That's a good idea. Maybe i can do a molex to 3pin for the pump, then pwm on CPU and chassis header. Still waiting for my pwm fan... 5 more days before they will arrive...
I also was able to use Intel's Rapid Start on this machine. The process for doing so is to create a hibernate partition the same size as your RAM.
Per: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/p/19410148/19963290.aspx
I have 16GB RAM so:
a)
<hit enter>
b)
( select disk 0 means select the first disk, select disk 1 will be the second disk, you need to select the SSD disk)
c)
Then run the Rapid Start software provided by ASUS and it should work.

I heard that WOL and hibernate do not work wells together on cold boot. Can you give it a try later on?
Yeah I can try it out. What is the test case here? Enable both hibernate and WOL and cold boot it and see what?
Should try to enable WOL and wake up the machine from cold boot, then enable WOL + the new intel thing and see if it can WOL cold
I can't get the hibernate to work. It says it's enabled in the icon tray and I set the power button to go to hibernate. When I press power it fades to black but when I hit the spacebar it boots showing me the BIOS screen. When it does come back it's very unstable and shaky. WOL disabled.
