It seems to be a lot more gpu, aside from the DP. Unless you're planning to use it on MW it still seems like a fair replacement offer. IMHOOriginally Posted by FourOh

Are you sure it's not the psu? I'm just wondering because what yours is doing is one of Bipolar's typical moves. Since I replaced the psu, she stopped rebooting at will.Oh boy. RAM problems are back, on the new board this time
Again, system seems to be stable with a 2x8gb DDR4-3200 kit, while randomly crashing (no blue screen, just quickly shuts down) with the 4x8gb DDR4-2400 kit. Is it possible I got another bad RAM kit back from RMA? Do I need to go through all the testing again?!? Or is the universe trying to tell me I only need 16gb of RAM on this machine??

Yep, I think I'll take the deal. I'm working on Collatz now, where it should really shine. I'll decide what to do with it after that and the Pentathlon.
It acts a little bit like a PSU issue... bonking out without a BSOD. But it's a new EVGA 850W Platinum PSU, and everything seems to work fine when the higher speed (and higher voltage) 2x8gb kit is installed. It could be a software issue, after all I did change out motherboards without reinstalling Windows 10. I cleaned as many of the old drivers out as possible, including a fresh NVIDIA (not the toxic release) install. And I would think if it's a Windows issue I would get blue screens instead of crap-outs. I've checked all RAM and cables to make sure they're all seated properly, disabled ECO mode on PSU, disabled CPU overclocking... still with the crashing
Yeah, it sounds just like a Bipolar move. It was one of the things that made her HER. Overclock, no overclock, underclock, ram -- all the of the above too, more voltage, less voltage....didn't matter. Sometimes she would run for weeks without a problem. Then, clear out of the blue, she'd start one of her fits rebooting every few minutes for hours on end. With windows xp, she would blue screen with the dvr card in her. The rest of the time with no dvr card, no matter the OS she was running, she'd just reboot whenever she felt like it. She was actually happiest with 8.1. But she would still start doing the reboot dance occasionally. She has done it since I first built her with all new everything. I actually started thinking it was the psu last year when I added the r-boxes to her/her psu. One by one, I had to unplug them until I was down to only 2 of them. With her most recent stunt, not powering up period, I had no choice but to change things out. Now she is happy running 4 r-boxes on her psu and hasn't shown any sign of any wanting to reboot whenever she feels like it. I actually am feeling a little stupid for letting her run 5 years like that when it wasn't necessary.It acts a little bit like a PSU issue... bonking out without a BSOD.

Working great last time it was in use.
[Rant_Time]GD Asus! Built a 4790k cruncher and it was awesome. Used an Asus mITX board and an m.2 SSD. Threw an R9 295 X2 in there with it and all was good with the world. It ran for a few months, then one day...NOTHING! BIOS made it through POST but no OS was to be found anywhere. After years of refusing to use Asus boards because of bad experiences 100% of the time, i finally use one and the m.2 socket died...lost everything. It's still down to this day because I'm afraid it won't work again even after replacement and then I'd have to send it flying through the nearest window... [/Rant_Time]
Anyway, the NZXT fan controller is in that build and i let all fans run full speed. All the extra fan headers on that thing are great since the mITX board has none to spare.
BTW, the R9 295 X2 is now in my QX9770 build. I'll be putting a 7990 in the 4790k when i get the nerve to see if it's going to work this time...
Also, i have another Asus board i haven't tested yet (Z10PE-D8 WS). If you hear on the news Asus HQ burned to the ground, you'll know it didn't work either...
ROFLMFAO.....
Sorry to hear about your 4790K issues. Hope the M.2 controller didn't take the drive with it.
I agree with you John 100% for my experience with ASUS boards are similar. My current problem is with an X99 board. One went up in flames in front of my eyes. it was working fine for months, using an i7 5820K CPU. Nothing needed to change for if it works, do not touch. I decided to try the RMI rout and as that will take months to resolve I purchased an X99-A board and a new spare 1000W CPU at the same time as well as a new SSD. The system lasted less than a week for it shows no life whatsoever. I know that the CPU and the SSD works fine having tested them in another machine and the Tech at my favorite local computer shop could not get it going either. If you want to make sure that you do a good job with ASUS HQ let me know, I might have a spare match or two to help out.
WAHAHAHA! So, it's not me that has it in for ASUS. Yeah, Bipolar is ASUS. I have two other ASUS boards. One won't boot with 4 sticks of ram......the second one has a bunch of bent cpu pins. It was an accident I assure you....it saved me from catching a felony for arson myself. It was showing signs of being a pain anyway. To date, Bipolar does one thing that none of my other computers can do. I'm not talking about not remembering the bios settings when unplugged from the power. She has this uncanny knack at unbricking gpus. Not sure why that is. I have yet to try the 580gtx on her. Can't find it atm. But yeah, when I installed the new psu, she unbricked 2 gpus for me that were left for dead since last year.
That's a monster board! Hope it holds up better than the other one!
I did some testing today on my X99 board... still won't boot with 4 sticks but works fine with 3. I guess 24gb is plenty for 12 threads anyway
This is the mobo in my dual E5-2630 v3 machine. Works fine so far.
