S3 RESUME

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the 'bleepin' size of the header...seems to be a lot of peeps still having issues with this. I was able to help a guy out in the last BIOS release thread who had tried everything. He got is S3 working after we teched it out.

Nvidia solution: be sure to select "NO" for the Run VGA BIOS after resume -- NOT "YES" and NOT "AUTO" -- MUST be "NO". This has been consistent with my use of GTX 480 / 295 / 285 / 275, 9800GTX/GTX+ / 9800GT.

Also, be sure to run SEPERATE LEADs (MUTUALLY INDEPENDENT STRANDS) from your PSU if you have a PSU that has a SPLIT +12V rail which results in SPLIT amperage pools. If your PSU has a SINGLE +12V rail, then you will have a SINGLE amperage pool and running off a single strand is generally ok. If your video card requires DUAL power inputs and you have split power, ALWAYS run seperate leads (i.e. +12V1 & +12V(2 to 6) not +12V1 & +12V1) AND make sure you read the label on the PSU and cherry-pick the two leads that have the MOST AMPS on them - ESPECIALLY if you are overclocking, and SUPER-ESPECIALLY if you are over-volting + overclocking.

The previous guy I assisted was running high-end ATI, and the 'seperate power lead' suggesting fixed his problem and he is resuming ok now.

The only thing outstanding with him was GPU-Z would report PCI-E and not PCI-E 2.0 for his video after resume. After further investigation, I noticed mine was popping in and out regardless of whether I S3ed or not...however benches were in no way affected. I noticed that if I changed the Nvidia Power Management Mode inside of control panel from "Adaptive" to "Prefer Maximum Performance", GPU-Z would PERMANENTLY report PCI-2.0 before and after S3 resume.

For ATI users, I don't know if that is adjustable yet with CCC, but one thing you CAN do is go to Windows Control Panel / Power Options and select "HIGH PERFORMANCE" instead of the default, "Balanced"....this will also improve the overall performance of your system incidentally, and is recommended regardless of whether or not you are having an S3 issue.

If you still have issues, be sure to read the last BIOS thread where I posted pictures of other related BIOS setting changes, along with some written suggestions of things to change.

Hope this helps some people... -pe

@dexster
no one with 2 gpu's has been able to add a third pci-e card in the main slots without dropping  a 16x slot to 8x
-it did it to me with my 2 gtx285's and a forte in the same config as you
-I have water so I just added a MB block to the E760 to remove the NB heat sink and to use the first pci-e 1x slot . and in doing so the forte is now on IRQ #19 and is not sharing IRQ #16 with the GPU's-less chance of problems.
-it sucks ,  but what can you do.-maybe a future bios will fix. but it is most likely each pair of pci-e slots only share 16x[max] lanes, so 16x + 1x =17 lanes[over the max] so the one 16x card drops to 8x + 1x = 9x under the 16x max.

S3 RESUME

Do you have suggestion for people who have NO for "Run VGA BIOS" AND have a single card feeding off of the rail marked for VGA card but still see S3 resume fail on the third attempt with manual vcore?

S3 is fundamentally broken in BIOS. There is nothing any setting will ever do to improve it. I have tried every setting and every BIOS over the last year.
