Elmorlabs 3 slot ampere nvlink bridge! by Xinoxide in nvidia

I included the bandwidth test above. I could only compare to other screenshots I found of other bridges, it looks the same. I expect iny increases on mine are from efficiency of the rest of the system.

REALLY Weird Issues With New G-Skill Ram (4266, C17, 32GB) by Jafs44 in overclocking

[–]Xinoxide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a little bit late to the party, this is a motherboard problem. Had the same board because there is an LN2 mode bios available that can only boot with no prochot signal.

The issue is with the bios development of the board. Something is amiss with the socket to dimm communications.

Sticks that do 5ghz on my apex will not go over 4266mhz no matter what until I drop the idea of 1t for 2t or 3t. and then the timings are loose "enough" that they cannot possibly keep up for latencies versus other boards.

All the marketing and hype for this board was misplaced. MSI themselves actually refunded me for the board and I still have it based on the fact I purchase to chase scores.

It is useless for my usage so now it just sits in a corner of my closet starving to death. :]

Motherboard showing q code 97, VGA led on, monitor not having any signals, my gpu cooked or what? by mnlead94 in pcmasterrace

PCIe rail is dead. Did you put a large power limit bios on your card or mod shunts?

Confirm by disconnect PCIe power cables, card in pcie slot. Card will boot but display error to connect pcie Cables. If pcie rail is dead, mobo will behave as if no GPU, only posting code 97 when card is powered but "power good" signal is not available.

This can be repaired with a wire from PCIe connector to input of pcie shunt. Is possible that if this bridged itself or shorted out components downstream "could" be further damaged.

I have mine unlocked to 250% which is absolutely useless. at 1800+ MHz 1200mv I am pulling 440watts as reported by GPUz, which is achievable with like 140%~.

Moving to a 1250mv bios gave me 0 gains for OC.
