*Official ASUS W90Vp Owners' Lounge*

OK, I successed in setting up RAID 0 and recover the system using the recovery disk. It took veeeeery long time TOT

But fatal error occurred: after I reinstalled the 9.4 drivers and CCC as before(video cards Bios remains unchanged even though I recover the system using the recovery disk), there are flikering and error of texture when running 3DMARK VANTAGE, but no issues when running 3DMARK06. I guess there are something wrong with directx10. But why those problems happened this time? It's OK when I installed the 9.4 drivers in stock system.

PS: After installing 9.4, I cannot run atiwinflash or have to uninstall VGA drivers. A bug of the modified drivers?

 

Nah, that would open up the door to new appliances, its a fine line man.

 

is it possible to order the qx3000 seperately from somewhere?

i am thinking of it as an upgrade when warranty will finish and it will be much more cheaper. for the time being i lll buy it with q9000 and permanenlty overclocked with turbo gear.

 

Additionally, even though I reinstall the stock drivers, the problems still exist. And there are no "crossfireX" option in 9.4 CCC on my computer. But when I disabled one card at bios settings, the issue went away. After that I re-enabled another card but window still could only reganize one card. Again I re-enabled the card, it appears, but no crossfire, and I have no method to let them crossfire.

 

Hi Mad, what about the DNA drivers thing? I´m still a little afraid of flashing my cards but i want actualized drivers...

 

I'm using the 9-4 drivers with the original ccc and I don't have a crossfire option either...though it does seem to be working.

Under 'information', 'hardware', do you see both cards? One should say 'primary' and if you scroll down, the other should say 'linked'.

 

The original CCC does not have crossfire option, but you will see "linked adapter" under the information tab if its working.

If its not in crossfire you will see "secondary adapter"

 

What's the most popular, reliable ccc?

 

how much can the qx9000 be overclocked? final ghz? and where to buy qx9300 seperately?

 

IIRC, the Q9000 can be overclocked to 2.3GHz with Asus's Direct Console while SetFSB can push it up to 2.6-2.7GHz.

You can purchase the QX9300 HERE, but you'll probably find the cheaper on ebay.

 

Last time I tried the disable/enable affair resulted in restoring stock system. I think the bios disable option is merely for troubleshooting.

 

Yep. There exist many cheap QX9300 on Ebay, about 400 bucks, but ES Version.

 

Well I found both cards. But the issue of flitering and texture error didn't disappear whatever I did: installing windows with retail version or recovery disk, installing the stock or modified video drivers. Only method is disable one card.

 

Dna drivers didnt work. Just do Vicious way. Its not that bad and you can flash it back if you change your mind.

 

i found es is engineering production. and what are the disadvantages to oem one?

 

I own a W90Vp-X1 with Intel Core 2 Duo T9600. If I want quad core, can this be upgraded to the QX9300 (installed by GenTech?) or am I looking at selling the X1 and buying a new one?

I looked at GenTech and could only find this http://1toppc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=W90Vp-A1 that has the Q9000, do I just need to call them for the QX9300?

Also one other side question, the buttons to the left of the ESC key, I inadvertantly hit those a LOT it seems. Has anybody successfully disabled those keys?

Thanks,
Mike

[edit] Ok I see the ordering option on the X2 for a Intel QX9300 Core 2 Extreme Quad Core 2.53 GHz 1066FSB 12MB 45nm 45W: $1149
So I guess I still would like to know if my current X1 can be upgraded or not. [/edit]

 

uh oh i wouldnt touch those...

 

does the a1 have a built-in tv tuner? i've seen a few sites that say it does; conversely, i've seen sites that don't mention it... can anybody clear this up?

 

So these $400.00 chips on E-Bay wont work?

*cricket... cricket...* anyone?

 

Do you have a model number for this device?

 

Yeah, under load, the OCZ Whitebook does toss out some serious heat and that fan is quite, um, audible even with the 3870's.

 

yah

here is the site

Good call, just got off the phone with Ken and placed an order for the upgrade. He was glad for your referral.

Will let everyone know how the upgrade goes.

YO!!! just surfin amazon and found

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Quad-Core Processor, 3 GHz, 12M L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB, LGA775

for $625.00 it says Desktop on the package but would it be compatible with the W90? if so its a freakin snag (maybe)

 

if it is not than what is the MOST POWERFUL processor that can be put in this thing without making it melt or explode

 

Thats socket 775 and wont work in the w90vp. At present i think the fastest cpu is the qx9300.

 

This is the one we want but I am not sure what the overall requirements are for CPU

There where 4 this morning for $400 now this is the only one remaining...
Hmmmmmm.....

 

But other than not being a us seller, (I don't care) he did correct the product code and the picture is not relevant, what are the requirements for our CPU?

Does anyone know for sure? Maybe someone with a QX 9300 can run CPUZ and post it?

 

Not to change the subject everyone but for those looking for a potentially awesome gaming headset you may want to check these bad boys out.

They look very promising but we'll have to wait and see. I am very excited about their tech.

 

http://computers.shop.ebay.com/item...flnZ1QQ_sacatZ3667QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em282

the one for 699.99 would be the one i would buy out of that bunch of chips.
but then i have my reasons....

 

quality is all i can say...

hey viciousxusmc:
been thinking about what you said about the memory being the bottle neck now.
i think your probably right on that. because it's sure not the cpu. quick explanation.
1:cpu 2.0 ghz
2:fsb default 1066 or 1.06 ghz
3:memory 400x2 or 800 mhz
4:raising the fsb also raises cpu frequency and also raises the memory speed
5:the cpu can keep up fine, but the memory is being over stretched. (so to speak)
6 and the fsb really needs to be up around 1500 mhz to 1600 mhz which is pushing the memory well out of range. so running a higher grade of memory or even 1066 in there should give you what your looking for to go higher.

something to maybe try when you get your machine back.

 

Too bad it doesn't ship to Canada.

 

did you call and ask him?

Feel free to contact Tim for assistance at [email protected] or call us at 601-580-1169.

he does have two of them

 

No I would need the spec for the Asus motherboard in the W90vp and BIOS support for stepping. I just paid $2400 for a laptop, if I can spend another $400 for a much faster CPU the price is right.

12Meg of L2 is unbelievable.

 

Well a buddy of mine got his x2 a day ago and i tried to do the bios flash and it shows only 1 card. Is there a way to show that the other card is working? is there a way to get the other card to work if it dosnt show up?

 

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=371558

 

i know about that i downloaded the software and it only shows 1 card. and ideas?

 

ok, but did you READ it?

 

thanks striker! jacking this link for another thread...

 

Most stable i can reach is about 3.1ghz or a tad under and yes the Voltage is the limiting factor . Hopefully Asus will update the bios eventually to allow more voltage which inturn would give us lots more room to experiment.

 

Yes if its not in the device manager in any way shape or form then its disabled in the bios or have him pull the bottom cover and make sure he even has 2 there

 

if its disabled in the bios you shouldnt see it at all in windows, or in the CCC "not even disabled adapter"

 

love the art work man

 

Please guys can you clarify something?

when i order an asus w90 from a website like gentech and i also select the qx9300 it will be inside the w90 when i receive it and the qx9000 outside?

or i will get the w90 with qx9000 and the qx9300 outside?

alternatively can i ask them to install the qx9300 and keep the qx9000? (any money reduction maybe?)

please clarify me that.thanks

 

Well he brought his from the egg while I ordered mine from xotic PC. I aint mad at him for getting his earlier than mine, but i am mad that i havent gotten mine yet.....#amm USPS! I hope they didnt lose my mail!!!!!

 

Well if anyone is interested, my laptop seems to be fine now. If anyone gets one and has intermitten screen blankings, just give it a few days. Not sure what was fixed as I didnt update anything major, but havent had the issue in 2 days now.

 

When you order the 9300 all you receive is the 9300 they keep the 9000. I think it's part of the warranty service if they have to send it back to Asus
