As i said, User Manual is so poor that doesn't specifiy Techincal Specs for those headers. 




Fyi, they are apparently working on a new more detailed manual:

Re:EVGA X79 Dark Tuesday, November 12, 2013 2:54 PM (permalink)
So I am back now after getting my RMA and installed it quad channel is now working but, I am confused as to why I can't seem to leave it on without it crashing randomly in the middle of the night. There are no overclocks set or anything I stress test it works fine everything is set to auto which I know is not stock but you would think it could work without messing with it. I am using the 2.07 BIOS that was already installed on the motherboard when it was sent to me. Any suggestions as to what I might be an issue I am getting to the point were I wished I would have gotten something else I feel like all this is becoming a hassle I really like evga products but I feel like they are not working to make a great product but just a product.

Specs:
CPU: 4930k no overclocks
RAM: 16 GB of 2400 mhz Hyper X Beast quad channel sett to 1333 in bios never changed yet.
Motherboard : X79 DARK BIOS 2.07
GPU: 2x GTX 680 4GB no overclocks and auto settings used.
PSU: Corsair AX1200 with red braided cables which have worked in the past.
SSD: 2 240 GB Muskin Cornus
HDD: 1.5 TB Western Digital Black
 
If any one has some ideas let me know.

http://ark.intel.com/products/77780/  The 4930k is only designed (guaranteed to work) for DDR3-1333/1600/1866.  Above that you takes ye chances.  "Memory modules with memory frequency higher than 2133 MHz and their corresponding timing or the loaded XMP profile is not the JEDEC memory standard.  The stability and compatibility of the memory modules depend on the CPU’s capabilities and other installed devices."  It may operate at a lower frequency than the vender marked value but 1333 MHz is setting the bar a little low.  Try 1866 and lower voltage(?1.55).  Because you set everything to auto double check the memory timings to make sure they are not way off.  Other people on the forum have had a similar problem as have other forums.  Maybe they found a workaround at 2400MHz.  Kingston should be the first people you contact as they made the memory.  Next contact EVGA and see if they can recommend a setting or are working on a  bios update. Third check with other forum members as some of them were talking about this a month ago.

This may seem like a stupid question, but do you know if your System is truly crashing in the middle of the night or could it be new windows updates installing that need a reboot? Just a thought!

I have been getting random crashes around an hour or so regardless of what I was doing or whatever overclock/stock I was using. I realized my ram is set to 1.5. It would sometimes dip below that. I manually increased it to 1.515 and no issues since. I need to do further testing to rule other variables out, but my gut thinks this was the issue.

I am fully aware of what your trying to say here in your response being I have read all about the CPU before I purchased it. The reason is because when all is on auto it crashes being that nothing is hard set I would figure that it would have no issue regulating things to stop it from crashing. Thank you for your input.

I can see where you might think this but, when there is a window on the screen that says windows has encounter an error and there is a crash report I would figure maybe it randomly crashes being that it is a 101 blue screen just seems strange on auto settings. Thank you for your input.

That is weird, 101 indicates not enough vCore no? This boards voltages and readings are odd. If you set 2.0 in the uefi and then restart and go back in its still set to 2.0 but says current is 2.25 etc. why wouldn't it match? My x58 was spot on.

alright I have figured out what is causing the blue screen and its not volts the code is as follows.

BC CODE d1 when reading its a driver issue for WiFi so I am wondering if its the driver for the Bluetooth adapter.  Any thoughts?

Hi Johnndemainjr,
 
Maybe something is interfering with the wifi driver.  Going to throw a very wide net as I don't have this board yet and don't know anything about your system and software.  Before making any changes to your system make a boot disk and make several windows manual restore points before each step.  Troubleshooting BSOD is a little science and a little voodo art.  If it were me these are some things I would look at.
 
1) remove any antivirus software and replace with MSE(free from Microsoft).
2) if you are running a sound card I would remove all the complimentary "studio" software that came with the audio card except the drivers that you need.  Make sure the driver is up to date. 
3) run cc cleaner (free) and clean up the registry.  Don't delete any DLL files as that will stop some software from running.  Save a back up registry copy.  Some software shares DLL so you have to be careful about deleting any DLL.  Best to leave DLL alone.
4) make sure you have all the latest windows updates.
5) remove any cyberlink DVD software.
6) try different sticks of ram.
7) ACPI enabled, suspend type S1&S3
8) usb kb wake up from S3 (disabled)
9)Make sure you are using sata mode AHCI.  If not you would have to reinstall windows.
10)legacy mode support disabled.
11)Check your windows update history and make sure it has not updated your wifi driver with a generic one.

 All things are great things to look at but I have looked into the driver for the bluetooth and a new one was just released today. So I am going to start there and if this doesn't fix it will work my way back.

I also got my new X79 back and now it works! NO issues, running a 3960X at 4,2 @1.250Vcore
 
Only one thing, when the system is shut down for longer, than when I start, it goes to BIOS ? I dont know why...

Check that Del key is not stuck.
Try to halt on all errors during boot as maybe there is conflict.
Highly unlikely that the cmos battery is dead as this is brand new.
Check your boot order.  Maybe you are trying to boot to a device that doesn't exist.
Try clearing cmos and resetting.
 
"On some rare occasions, the computer system may not properly POST or boot. When this occurs, typically a series of beeps will be generated by the motherboard to indicate a diagnostic code or an error message may even display on the screen with more modern UEFI based systems. Pay close attention to the number and types of beeps and then refer to the motherboard manuals for what the codes mean. Generally when this occurs, it will be necessary to reset the BIOS by clearing the CMOS that stores the BIOS settings."

Del Key is not stuck - it happens only when the System is shut down for longer time. When turned of for 30min, bios doesnt come
no Errors displayed
boot order is correct... the first boot device is the ssd with windows
 
well it's strange
and I dont know why, the X79 Dark Screen comes two times. First I see the BIOS of the GPU, followed by the X79 Screen, than the BIOS initial, than again X79 Screen... takes quite long

If it were me I would clear the CMOS to make sure and try again.  Not sure if this article has any merit.  http://www.overclock.net/t/1018094/bios-popping-up-twice-due-to-raid-controller

Well I have no longer any issues I am now up and running and waiting for water loop to get here I am stable at 3.8 ghz and still going 1.2015volts and 1600 mhz 9-9-9-24 1.65 volts on the memory still going to work threw all this but, I am working great now. I will only continue to look for more and more stability. Thanks for all those who helped me. The problems I was having was a NIC driver and once I uninstalled old driver and re installed newest one all issues went away so I did a clean install and all has been right with the world since. Cheers.

What is the back story with the old network interface card driver?  Who supplied the old version?  Where did you find the new version?

The driver was the one given to you by the site and I downloaded the newest one from the intel site.

I think that would depend on who you ask...  I personally haven't had any problems with it and am enjoying it.  There was a few BIOS/UEFI issue's for a time, but this latest one has been solid for me (v2.07).  I've been running the Dark since the beginning and so far it's been as stable & reliable as my EVGA X58 3way Classy board.  And we all know how great EVGA's X58 line up was/is...

Does the bios support PWN fans?  Does the motherboard have 3 or 4 pin fan headers?
 
Thanks

Hello guys this is my first post. I ordered this board yesterday, should be here tomorrow. I have a triple channel memory kit from my old 980x system, and I ordered a dual channel kit of the same type of memory. it should work right? since the quad channel is really just 2 dual channels? I read somewhere that if you just use a dual channel kit the CPU will run at dual channel, and if you use a triple channel kit,  it will run at triple channel.

Mixing ram kits isn't recommended, but it might work.  It's kind of a hit or miss thing.  As far as the channels, the Dark has 4 memory channels and the SB-e & IB-e chips support it.  You can run 4 sticks (1 on each channel) or 8 sticks (2 on each channel).  You can also run pretty much any combination from single to quad channel as long as you use the proper dimm slots.

Is it possible (if you install two graphics cards are passive "office" and other loud's "gaming")
exclusion of software from / BIOS cards so loud as to be invisible to the system and not spun her fans. Turn on the system from the "office" for the purpose of gaming power while turning it on again and the system would get up with stronger cards?
