EVGA NFORCE 790I ULTRA SLI

[Aleslammer]

Anybody know anything about the board? Memset works but not finding anything about a FSB tweaker and OCN is all messed up with an upgrade. Board is a EVGA but running an Alienware branded BIOS. NB is a furnace 50c stock voltage and 1.7 vcore nets 1.63+/-v in CPUz. CPU all four core temp sensors are frozen and showing about 15c with 6c fluid although cores 1&2 did make the low 20s above 1.6 vcore. Scored the CPU and some other things from an e-waste acquaintance for a large bottle of jack so can't complain to much. Now if the board will SLI some Quadros going to be a happy camper.

does it have a backup/2nd Bios? May be worth a look at putting in the original bios from EVGA?

www.evga.com/support/download/

this should be a direct download to the latest P10 (released: 12-30-2009) ; cdn.evga.com/bios/NForce/NF79_P10.iso

Legacy Bios available here; www.evga.com/support/download/showdlinfo.aspx?id=406&type=N&acctype=BIOS&accversion=P10&part_number=132-CK-NF79

I wouldn't think an alienware bios would be much good.

Thanks, no backup, Think it's just branded AW as it looks just like the EVGA manual. Quadro SLI working without any problems with the first set I tried so happy.
Memory is handled differently need to do some reading.

is the bios soldered on or is it in a socket? if it's in a socket, you could try a swap..

BIOS in a socket so can swap, might just do that.
