New x58 pro e board: IOH-temperature

hi,
i read lots of postings about high IOH-temperatures of the msi x58 pro mainboard.
does anyone know values of the IOH-temperature of the new released "msi x58 pro e" board?
they talk about a modified thermal-system, but there seems to be no concrete information about the
IOH-temperatures...
bye,
whoopi

i don't understand why msi didn't fix this problem with the new release...
What is the 'industry' standard for IOH idle temp? Not asking to stir up an argument, just want an official note or spec from the manufacturer of the chip, Intel, what is an acceptable idle min./max. temp.
With the 4 Pro boards I've helped build, 1-72c, 1-74c, 1-82c, & 1-86c. We 'reset' all four boards heatsinks, however, the 72c & 74c probably wasn't necessary. My personal Eclipse Plus runs 74c, & unless it increases a significant amount over time, I will be leaving it alone. (All temps listed were idle). None of them exceeded 10c over idle at full load, so technically, even the 86c +10c was still within spec.
For a look at what Intel does say, take a peek at the links in post; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127551.0
Added: After two weeks runtime, the IOH idle temp 'dropped' from 74c to 64c. No additional fans or modifications were performed.

Overclocking (for RAM) X58 Pro-E board - Help Please :)

Hello,
I have purchased MSI X58 Pro-E and would like my RAM memory (Kingston Hyper-X DDR3 @1600 MHz) to run on 1600 MHz which means I would have to overclock the board from BIOS because the maximum default speed for RAM memory is 1333. However I don't know how to do it and would be very greatful if someone could tell me how to do it. Thank you in advance.

First of all, find out what timings and voltage are needed to run the RAM at 1600MHz. This information is usually printed on a label on the side of the RAM modules. Next, boot into the BIOS and locate the 'Cell Menu'. From here, select 'Advance DRAM Configuration' and on the next screen you enter the required RAM timings. Change the command rate to 2N too. Go back to the 'Cell Menu' and select 'Memory Ratio' to change the speed the RAM will run at. It will show you the adjusted speed underneath this option. Finally, further down the screen adjust the DRAM voltage to what is required to run at that speed. Save the changes and run >>Memtest86<< to check whether your system is stable. You'll need to run Memtest for at least several hours.

X58 Pro-E Slow Post

Hey there, I'm having an issue with an x58 Pro-E board, thats extremely slow to post. From power button press, to post, is a good 10-15 seconds, with another 10-15 seconds to boot into Windows.
I don't recall this being an issue when I first got the board/built the machine. Any ideas? I've tried reflashing BIOS, resetting CMOS to no avail.

Might try another reseat of all the RAM. When this happens, it is often bent pins in the CPU socket, but if that area was not touched recently, it must be something else.
Added: Since using 6 sticks RAM, are they all from the same batch? Might try with just the three black dimm slots filled and see if it can be isolated which dimm slots may be the problem. Also, with all the parts moving, it may be a good idea to do another full CMOS clear. Do a battery removal in the clear process.

Help with Overclocking my i7 920 on X58 Pro-E

Can someone please give me some step by step instructions on how to overclock my i7 920 on my X58 Pro-e board? I have the following specs- X58 Pro-E, i7 920 co stepping, H50 hydro cooler, 6 gigs Corsair 9-9-9-24 1600, GTX460-SE 1Gig, OCZ Stealthxstream 600 watt, 1 tb Western Digital, running Vista home Premium 64 bit.
I have been able to get it to 3.6 but after that I have problems with the memory I think. But I think it should be able to do much better if the voltage and or timings were set correctly.
So if you guys can walk me through it that would be great. Thanks John

Dear John,
Your initial posting did not contain any information as to what you had tried to achieve in terms of Overclocking your system, neither does it indicate that you had made any attempts at trying to gather information in terms of general OC'ing for the i7/X58 platform. These are normal processes one would go through before having an expectation of someone dishing out a "magic formula" that will give you what you want in terms of an OC. OC'ing a system must start with a reason for wanting to do so. i.e. faster gaming, higher theoretical benchmarks, improved video rendering times, increased folding performance, experimentation or just plain an ego trip and being able to post a nice number somewhere.
Your reasons of wanting to do a higher OC are unknown and quite frankly have got nothing to do with us. You decided on a Sunday to do some OC'ing and it seems after some frustrating time, gave up and came to the forum. Now being a weekend, and this forum being monitored by users just like you, most forum users were probably having their Sunday BBQ and relaxing,oblivious to the fact you were out there crying for help. Some people actually do have other things to do than just sit in front of the PC to wait for someone like you.
Anyhow, come Monday, people are off to work and will probably have some spare time during or after work to see if they can be of assistance with users posing specific questions regarding their rig combinations and the exact detail of what has been done to get around the problems.
Your patience was obviously tested by that time and you start your next post with a "not so nice" set of assumptions and statements.Quote
Well it looks like no one wants to help or can't!

I think I will just sell my MSI board and buy a Gigabyte or Asus as they seem to have a much better forum with people that have the seem boards and are willing to Help!

Last MSI product that I will buy.
This put some questions in my mind regarding your homework in terms of your decision to acquire the combo you did. Was it a spur of the moment decision or was some research conducted in terms of the hardware selection based on comparing reviews and visiting the forums beforehand to establish if the intended hardware does actually satisfy the targeted/expected outcome.
The first thing you do is to threaten other users of MSI products that you will sell your board to buy something else.
A bit of searching on the net regarding general OC'ing would have given you enough information to establish the basics. Once those don't work out for you, then the time comes to state those and request assistance.
If you search this forum you will find hundreds of threads where the best advice in the world has been provided because the person wanting assistance has provided a bit more detail than you have, with a clear indication that they actually did do some effort in terms of research.
In order to assist you, perhaps you could start anew by providing your current BIOS settings and posting screenshots of your CPU-Z memory and SPD tabs. That's always a good place to start. You may be surprised at the amount of advice forthcoming when people can see the whole picture...

IOH temps higher after new CPU cooler on my X58 Pro

Hi
I have a X58 Pro with 12GB OCZ Platinum 1333 RAM + i7 920 + Antec EA500W. The stock cooler was making too much noise so I installed a new Thermaltake ISG 300 cooler. My IOH temps jumped from 57 to 82C on idle. I have an Antec Solo case which should have good airflow. Nothing else changed ....
thanks
-D

I have seen other boards with similar big coolers (albeit from other companies like Zalman) but the IOH wasnt this hot. I will definitely try the Spotcool and see if that works. My goal was to simply get rid of the loud noise of the stock cooler.
Quote from: Henry on 01-December-09, 11:35:59
Looking at other manufacturers X58 boards those heat sinks don't appear to be much different so how is it that MSI is the only one you need to feel that way. You make a modification then you need to think about the other things that mod may have an effect on. There are other coolers that would have done the job without affecting designed airflow by much if any. If you change the designed airflow characteristics then you must compensate for that. In that case an Antec Spotcool would do it.

X58 Pro - IOH Temperature - HELP! Bios?

Hello everyone... well after a number of years with a "regular" computer.... I have jumped back into an old hobby and bought an I-BuyPower PC as follows:
Processor & Memory: Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 920 (2.66GHz) 8MB Intel Smart Cache 6GB DDR3-1333 memory (2GB x 3) Triple ChannelMotherboard: Intel X58 chipset mainboard Drives:500GB (7,200 RPM) SATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive 22x max DVD±RW drive with Double Layer SupportGraphics: 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® 9400 GT graphics 1 x DVI, 1 x S-Video, 1 x VGA out No monitor includedCommunications: Gigabit Ethernet LAN - 650 Watt Power Supply - Front fan, side 120 fan, rear 120 fan....
The Board is an MSI X-58 Pro...
After startup and install of basic software, I ran the Overclock software and noticed my IOH Temp is 72 at idle... CPU is only 28....
SOOOO....
1. Can someone tell me the "range" that each of the three temperatures should be....
2. Would flashing the BIOS help drop the IOH Temperature? Is it a bug?
My sincere thanks in advance for any help!!!!

Two of the X58 Pro's I've helped build were also 72c at idle. In retrospect, resetting the heatsinks probably wasn't necessary, but did it anyway. If you decide to do that, & don't want to re-use the stock plastic pins, nylon (thermal) bolts, washers, & nuts can be obtained from a few different sources. Hardware manufacturers or stores, hobby shops that cater to remote control aircraft etc. As deep33 suggested, the spot cooler is a good way to go too.
The heatsink hole size is 1/8" .125 U.S., 3.18mm. Length of about 1/2" (1cm?) does nicely. Depends on the height of the standoffs.
Edit: The hardware size I used is #4-40, 1/2" in length. (3mmx1cm? metric?)

Problem with MSI X58 Platinum SLI - IOH temperature !

Hi guys.
I have this PC configuration:
- MSI X58 Platinum SLI ( Bios Version 3.8 - http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/6707/161020101249.jpg )
- Intel Core i7 930 2.80 GHz box ( with Intel Turbo Boost running sometimes at 3.06 Ghz )
- MSI GeForce GT240 1GB DDR5 128-bit HDMI
- Corsair 6GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 XMS3 Triple Channel Kit ( sets to AUTO and running at 1066 Mhz )
- Corsair CMPSU-750TXEU
- Ordinary case ( http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/4200/161020101246.jpg & http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8480/161020101247.jpg ).
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I bought my PC components 2 months ago, so they are new.
Now, guys I think that is a problem with my motherboard. When I turn on the computer in Bios I have this temps: CPU – 30 C (86 F); IOH – 71 C (159 F); System 30 C (86 F) - http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/394/161020101242.jpg. After 2 minutes the temperatures are: CPU – 34 C (93 F); IOH – 82 C (179 F); System 41 C (105 F) and 2 more minutes later the temperatures are: CPU – 34 C (93 F); IOH – 84 C (183 F); System 43 C (109 F). After 30 minutes of doing nothing I have this temps: CPU – 35 C (95 F); IOH – 85 C (185 F); System 42 C (107 F) -
Guys it is normal with IOH temperature ? I am a little worried about it ( to be honest I am more than “a little” … I am worried a lot ).
Ok, I know I don’t have a good case but in 3 weeks I should receive this Thermaltake Spedo Advance Case (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1121&ID=1829) and I will buy a new CPU cooler ( I don’t know yet wich one – maybe Corsair CWCH70 or Noctua NH-D14 but I have to see the case first … to be sure there is a plenty of space for those coolers ).
Pls help me with that IOH temperature. It is normal ? What if I intend to make a little OC ( lets say CPU to 3652 Mhz and RAM to 1333 Mhz … but also I will ask for your support ! ) my motherboard will burn ?
If it is necessary I will contact my retailer and send him back the motherboard but … I like MSI a lot.
Thx guys for your support !

Hey guys,
Here is a nice cheap alternative.
Here is my story about the same issue. I found it after looking at why my computer freezes sometimes. Not very often but enough for me to do some investigation. I noticed my IOH temp was a whopping 117 degrees Celsius. lol. Surprised my mobo didn't burn out by now. I wanted to evaluate the situation with the heat sink and decided to take it off. After taking it off I found extremely crusty purple compound on board the chipset and the heatsink. I took me FOREVER to scrape it off. it was almost like a cement which I found odd. After scraping and cleaning the surfaces with alcohol, I placed some silver compound on and proceeded to put it back on.
Well, upon hooking everything back up I was still at 95 to 103 degs. Now I started to really look at the options to replace this. I had SLI config which means I had to do something clever with the southbridge as well. A nice thermaltake chipset solution w/fan and a low profile copper southbridge with shipping was about 45 bucks. Hmm ... This is a sure fix from the threads I have read and its really kid of expensive to fix a simple defect. the problem is not necessarily with the heatsink not being sufficient. Its the combo of the compound used vs the amount of pressure applied between the heatsink and chipset. It was completely unacceptable. I knew this right away when I was watching the temp and then I would press on the top of the IOH heatsink and I would watch it drop another 15 degrees in less then 10 seconds. The springs are extremely weak and not effective at all in transferring the heat from the NB.
Here if my fix. Cost me less than a dollar at the hardware store and it works ideal thus far. Do this at your own risk. Doing this will probably void any warranty too. All my problems are solved and I am running at 57 degrees, YES, 57 degrees with the stock heatsink and no additional cooling.
For one scrape all that old crap off like I did. Apply your new compound. But when you go to replace your heatsink, use the following method. The trick is to use metal screws with a mobo washer, original springs from the plastic studs and a nylon locknut. Use screws that are the same diameter and length (maybe a tad bit longer) as the plastic retainer studs. Also grab a few of those red nylon mobo washers too, were gonna need them as well.
After scraping and applying compound, reassemble as follows. Screw with washer inserted into the back of the mobo so the threads are out front. The plastic/nylon washer is betweeen the screwhead and the back of the mobo as a insulator. Put the heatsink on. With the threads thru the heatsink already, put the springs on and start spinning on the locknut. I torqued the nut down on the spring until the spring almost became fully compressed. The purpose of the spring here is really to prevent you breaking something and at the same time using the max force of the spring since it weak to begin with. Thats why we need to compress it down pretty much all the way. There will be little to no room in the spring at this point. The heatsink at this point should be pretty solid to the board as well. I noticed with the plastic studs before the heatsink would wobble if you gave it a little rocking back and forth before. Not this time. Shouldn't move much if at all. Remember not to torque down too much. You don't want to go beyond the springs compression. Even if you did by accident, its better then not using a spring at all. If you feel that it starts to feel tight when torquing, you torqued too far. Stop an backup a 1/4 turn or so. It is also very important to make sure both torques are equal on both sides as well. Alternate sides when torquing down. I could tell by how much thread I had left on both sides and by looking for any uneven sides.
To summarize, the compound is a problem no doubt. After you resolve the compound issue, its all about the adequate pressure between the heatsink and the IOH. Much like the amount of pressure needed between your CPU and your heatsink give or take. And the pressure that would be as an aftermarket solution like the thermaltake chipset cooler. You dont see cheesy springs on that. Wake up MSI. Simpy using a more effective spring could save MSI some cash in the long run. I envision a leafsprin design like the thermaltake chipset one. The heatsink design could be better, sure, but the design itself is not the problem. Replace the heatsinks if you would like to, if your overclocking and stuff. Funny, this board I have is a refurb too and only had it for a few weeks. Figured they would have done something about it.
Sorry the pics are not the best. Here is about as close as I could get to the finished product

X58 Pro a Lemon? IOH cooling insufficient.

Is the X58 Pro motherboard a Lemon? The x58 cooling solution on the board is inadequate by far. Very soon, MSI will introduce a replacement board called the X58 Pro-E which has a different heat sync on the Dr. MOS and X58 chipset. They will no doubt ignore all of us with the Lemon. Which is totally unacceptable and enough to make me not want buy any MSI products ever in the future!
The only solution to cooling your IOH on the X58 Pro is to replace the useless MSI heat sync or run a small fast fan on to them.
Here are the possibilities;
1) with stock cooler IOH is 72C at idle
2) Running a 40mm 4000RPM fan ($12.00) directly onto the chips set from above the chipset, the IOH drops to 55C.
3) Replacing the sock solution with 2 Thermalright HR-05-IFX (23.00 each) the IOH drops to 38C*
*note: In my Antec Sonata case the HR-05-IFX are directly in the path of the 120mm fan exhaust that is mounted to the hard drive cage. This fan, draws air through the bottom of the case, over the hard drives and out over the motherboard. This is a Noctuna 120M fan that is running at 900 RMP (Ultra Quiet Mode). This fan blows directly onto the HR-05-IFX and helps dissipate the heat build up on the fins of the HR-05-IFX. With this fan turned off, the IOH temp starts out at 39C but quickly climbs into the 45C range with heavy use.
Using the 3rd solution, I can go up to a 190 MHz base CPU clock rate which makes the 2.6GHz i970 a 3.8Ghz CPU. The max I can go with memory is 1500MHz using OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) rated at 1600 (OCZ3G1600LV6GK). Anything above that the board is not stable. At a base clock of 210 MHz, the board hangs-up in boot. It goes through the BIOS POS T and the screen says "WAIT..." and nothing happens.
I'm using BIOS 7.3. see https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=126768.0
by the way, be careful when you remove the stock IOH cooler. Mine was pretty much stuck to the board. I had to yank it off with a set of pliers. Upon taking it off, part of the problem was clearly apparent. There was enough silicon grease (or should I say hardened cement) to drown an elephant. The grease must be the cheapest kind you can find because it had caked up into a thick layer of plastic and I had to scrape off heavy scabs. I wish I had taken a picture.
Once you do this upgrade, all of us should send the $50 bill to MSI. They should give all of us MSI X58 Pro uses a $50 rebate for selling us a Lemon.

So far, not any X58 Pro boards have burned up an X58 (IOH) that I've read about. 72c is well below the 100c limit, so those that choose not to redo the heatsinks need not panic as long as sustained full loads are below 100c.
Out of the 3 X58 Pros I've helped build, no 'Lemons' noted among them. Just started build #4. I would say your 3.8 on the CPU & 1500 on the mem. is pretty decent. The CPU only natively supports 800/1066 memory, so what's the complaint? 1333 & 1600 are 'OC' speeds. Your mem. sticks may be rated 1600, but doubt they are chipped more than 1333.
What was your specific system issue that required a bios update?
Is the X58 Pro-E a 'replacement' board as you call it, or a new introduction board to the line-up? Have you been ignored so far over your 'self proclaimed' lemon?

Building new system, MSI X58 Pro-E, i7 920, GTX 295, 6gb, Thermalright e-120

Hello, I was hoping for some advice on this rig, to overclock or not, etc; Im a bug gamer, so its really about gaming to the max 1st,
Heres the brand new parts;
MSI X58 Pro-E (In the box, just arrived, do not know bios yet)
i7 920
Patriot Extreme Viper PVT36G1600ELK 6GB DDR3 9-9-9-24
eVGA GTX295 1792mb CO-OP edition
Thermalright extreme e-120 cpu cooler (Jesus that thing is huge)
Im going to re-use this stuff:
2x500gb seagate HDD sata raid 0 for performance
Antec 900 case Lots of fans...nice
DVD RW
Corsair TX750W Says 60A on a single +12v rail (I think its good, only @ a year or so old)
SB X-FI Fatality gamer sound card
So, basically should I look to OC this setup a bit? maybe to like 3 GHz or so? If so, whats the "safest" method to OC? I have an excellent cpu cooler and a case that has a ton of fans in it so hopefully I should be good for cooling.
Do I just OC the CPU? Will the memory run at its top speeds with this chip? or do I need to do something for the memory also, I recally for some reason on my current PC with a 780i SLI evga mobo I had to set the ram timins manually, they were never picked up properly on "auto", will I have that also on the MSI board?
I hope Ive provided enough information to get started.
Thank you for any help!
Oh, I plan to build this baby the following weekend as I am working the next 2 weeks straight...meh

Yes, why not?
Do not be aiming for 3 GHz, you can run that on stock voltage. 4 GHz is more within the grasp of the TRUE 120.

There's only one way to overclock - overclock... There is no safe way of doing it...

The only way you can overclock a CPU without overclocking anything else is with an extreme edition CPU. (The i7 965, for example.) It's overclocked by raising the CPU multiplier, not the baseclock frequency.
With regular CPUs, you overclock the baseclock, which overclocks the CPU core, CPU uncore, memory, and QPI frequency.

Extremely doubtful.
I hope I've answered your questions. I can be more thorough if you wish to know more. Of course, Google can tell you more than I ever could.

Where can I get an original x58 Pro-E IOH chipset heatsink assy?

Recently built an i7 gaming rig and like everyone else had high nb temps which I'm not very keen on.
I had a Thermalright HR-05 from another build (took it out of my old system and replaced it with the original HS and sold that PC leaving me with it) that I'll use on the nb, but covering the sb will be difficult since I'm running 2 4870 cards in the pci-e slots, covering the sb and not being able to move the cards to free space above it. I don't really want to get something too fancy for the sb (the sli version of the nb cooler) as it doesn't seem to get hot.
I was thinking along the lines of using the HR-05 for the nb, cutting up the heat-pipe of the original chip-set HS and just using it on the sb as temps and clearance will be fine. Problem of course is if ever need to rma the board, I'm screwed. I've read all the posts about issues with the hot IOH temps and solutions, and this is the way I'll think I'll go.
Currently my temps are up around 90 on load, and that's in winter! It's around 10 C in my room right now and when summer comes around with 30 C that's gonna shoot up!
Long story short, does anybody know where I can get an original X58 Pro-E IOH heatsink assy that I can keep safe in case I need it (touch wood)

I have thought about that, saw it under some suggestions to fix high temps. But they have that shoved toward the NB. My HR-05 will take care of the NB (plus some serious OC in sumemr which i want to do) I just need a HS for the southbridge , and it seems that the only HS that has enough clearance and fits into the MB with long cards in xfire or sli is the original SB HS, which leaves me wanting to cut the orginal HS up to reuse on the SB and finding another complete HS just in case.

X58 Pro - Board or memory bad?

Hello all... Long time MSI user going back to a 6163 Pro w/300a@600! Those were the days . Current set up is an X58 Pro (purchased March '09), i7 920 2.6GHz not o/c, 6GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3@1333, Corsair TX650w p/s, ATI 4550HD video card. Not a gamer, mainly use the machine for the usual + HTPC.
Recently getting an error at boot up in RED about my previous overclocking attempt has failed and default values have been applied. Hmmm, Like I mentioned, I have not ever o/c'd the machine so puzzled as to why I was receiving this error. I go into the BIOS and reset everything and it seems to run fine for a while and then get the same error again, reset everything, runs fine for a while and the process repeats.
One of my hard drives recently failed as well. A 2TB Western Digital with all my movie files . RMA'd it and received another from WD. After installing the new drive and trying to start the computer, it tries to start, lights up for a dew seconds and then turns off. Tries to start again by itself and turns off again. I couldn't get the machine to boot, even after clearing the CMOS with the power disconnected and battery removed.
Thinking it may be a memory problem, I've been testing the memory w/memtest per the MSI USB Flash tool and have found that when all three sticks are installed the machine will not boot. It tries to start, lights up and then turns off, lights up again for a few seconds and turns off. No beep errors sound. So I tried each stick individually in the first black slot A0. One stick will allow the machine to boot and runs memtest with the memory @1333 w/no errors. One will allow the machine to boot but memtest locks up w/the stick @1333. If I restart the machine it will boot and run memtest @1066 w/no errors. The third stick won't let the machine boot at all and just goes through the start/stop loop.
I'm guessing the memory is to blame, so I've RMA'd all three sticks w/Corsair. Hope to receive the replacements soon and hopefully that cures my problem. Am I on the right track or do you think the board has problems as well? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions...

You followed the right process in terms of testing the memory and I supect one of those modules is the culprit.
The mem controller of that CPU natively supports 1066 and I would suggest that when you do get the new memory, that you manually set it to run at 1066. Some mem controllers will accommodate 1333, while others may want increased voltage to do that.

X58 PRO NO BOOT AFTER IOH HEAT FIX.

Hello everyone, I have a strange problem with my x58 platinum setup after fixing the heat issue with the ioh.
My board says ms 7522 rev 3.1. My booklet and package says x58 pro but greenpower says platinum.
Running core i7 920 with 3 gigs of ocz 1066 ddr3 all in black slots, vista home premium sp1, msi ati 3450 hd graphics card, thermaltake v1 cooler, antec 680w iceburg psu,3x320 seagate barracuda 7200.11 harddrives,nzxt
sentry 5 fan cooler control and lg dvd/lightscribe writer.
I had ioh idle temps in the 70c range and near 80c at load so I read the threads in the forum and carefully removed
the heatsinks. cleaned off the hard white and dry tmi. Reapplied correct thermal compound. Plugged everything back in and when I turned it on all I got was a quick hdd light blink and no post,no display. I might have mixed up the order of the sata drives on the board so i've tried to switch them all to other ports and to no avail.
I cleared cmos with power off and unplugged several times with each sata port change and it's the same thing.
Power on just the fans and all leds come on but no hdd light and no boot. Leds on my graphics card slot are on and the cpu leds are all on and green light on board is on. Maybee it's my boot sequence from the drives that are
out of order. The system was a little touchy but for the most part stable and working fine before fixed the ioh.
I am an electronics guy and repair amplifiers and radios and I deal with Blown voltage regulators and output chips
all the time so I'm not unfamilliar with this kind of repair. I wore a static strap and had the board on a non conductive surface. Sorry so long but I wanted to give as much info as poss. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Well, tried all sata combos that I could out of the drives and no results. To answer your question earlier. the black ring is in tact under the heatsink and I did not see any tim overflow to the surrounding area. Also it doesn't even
trigger the monitor to come on and no beeps from system speaker. Checked all connections and everything seems to be solid. Is there a way to wipe bios and harrdrives and basically start over? I unplugged all hdds to see if I would get a screen and nothing. I've turned the thing off and on so much in different combos that I'm worried about it totally fragmenting the drives with bad sectors that it wouldn't boot even if I found the right order.
The way my luck goes I probably fried it. Thanks again.

Random BSOD X58 Pro E new build

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me. I'm new to the custom built PC realm so forgive my ignorance on some of the finer points. I have searched and can't seem to find, or perhaps understand a solution to this problem I'm having. So, with the obligatory "please don't hit me" stuff out of the way here's the deal….
This PC was purchased from ibuypower with a factory 20% overclock. BSODs have appeared randomly since I unpacked it. Initially it was thought these screens were due to an unstable overclock, however they have persisted even with optimized defaults enabled. They usually appear during the first boot of the day, during light duty internet browsing, or doing nothing much at all. The BSOD has never appeared under a heavy load such as flight sim, photoshop, or lightroom (overclocked or not the PC has performed flawlessly running these programs). For example I ran flight simulator for three hours the other night at 3.85GHz with my RAM at 1600MHz and it ran beautifully. As you can see below however (info compiled from the program “whocrashed”) it has happened a ton. These have occurred pretty equally in OC and default configuration. I've ran the default win 7 memory diagnostic, LinX, and memtest86+ with no errors found so far. I hope I have provided enough information for a diagnosis, if most it is useless then I apologize and I will do my best to track down whatever additional info may be required to get to the bottom of this. Thank you in advance.

With optimized defaults enabled the DRAM voltage is set to auto and it doesn't appear I can change it..please advise. Also, the BSODs have gotten much worse now and I haven't changed anything, they now occur at any time. I've probably gotten six in the past three hours. I guess the computer knows I have reached out to you guys and it's peeved
When the OC is enabled (hasn't been for several days now, but BSODs still occured when it was) the DRAM voltage was set to 1.64v per "tech support" they said that setting it to 1.65v would actually be 1.66v (not sure how that is, but that's what they said).
And to your last question their OC settings were +0.100 on the CPU voltage and 160 on the base clock.

My husband has 1 of the newer macbook pros that runs off of lion and know his computer wont let him get past the starting screen it keeps telling him to put in a bootible disk he cant use his key board or anything what should he do?

Hi...
Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.
he cant use his key board
You'll need to use a wired (USB) keyboard.
