At least we know it's definitly an issue with the Asrock Z68 Extreme4 when using Encryption, seen as your Asus works fine with it, I don't think any of these P67/Z68's will be totally perfect. :)
Nothing ever is, see chaos theory --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory
I've notified R&D about the Encryption issue, once I know something I'll let you all know. Last I knew we were still waiting on the intel SSD to arrive for testing.
Ket: Great thread. I decided to keep my rig below at 4400 via the auto settings. I just tried to install the new lan driver and it said mine was up to date eventhough older?
The driver included with the main package for the Marvell controller is 1.0.0.1051, if you downloaded the previous driver package that is the driver you will be using. The newest driver is available HERE at the bottom of the page :up:
I was referring to the Lan driver for the Broadcom NIC
Don't worry though, I'll be back in a few days :D I'll be offline backing up and formatting my laptop as the install is rather old and all other methods to get the as-new performance back isn't cutting it. In the meantime its probably best if anyone has any questions they want to ask me to send me a PM and I'll reply to them when I'm back up and running.
The upcoming Z68 Extreme 4 Gen 3 has me drooling a little. I'm impressed by the looks, and more importantly, the specs. If they do it up right, it should be fairly stable from the get-go; I'd figure a large part of its UEFI would come from the current Extreme 4, so not as much new work to do.
It might mean I upgrade early rather than waiting for Ivy Bridge, as I already have the new case (Corsair 650D) and RAM (4x4GB G.Skill RipJaws 1866) waiting.
Now I just need to wait for it to be available.
Sorry, I have not read through the 17 pages of this thread. Forgive me if I have double-posted.
Has anyone have similar issue with the ASRock USB 3.0 Front Panel?
Motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme4 with latest firmware
Thumbdrive: ADATA N005 32GB USB 3.0 Thumbdrive:
Plugged in via the ASRock Front Panel USB 3.0 ports:

Plugged in via the USB 3.0 ports at the back of the motherboard:
http://img0.uploadhouse.com/fileuplo...b5827d452c.png http://img8.uploadhouse.com/fileuplo...fca676e3c1.png
The AData's packaging didn't mention any specification and what it is capable of - I bought it with a leap of faith. I didn't notice this and accepted the thumbdrive's 45mb/s performance UNTIL I read various online articles about it able to achieve 95 mb/s READ speeds. That's when I started toying with it....
The weird thing is that if I plug in an external USB 3.0 HDD case with its own power supply, the performance are normal for both front and back USB3. And if I plug in the Thumbdrive to a USB 3.0 extension cable and connected it to the back of the motherboard, it too have the same performance as the thumbdrive connected via the front panel. So I suspect it may have something to do with the front panel's limited power output....
I always thought a USB thumbdrive can either WORK or NOT WORK. I didn't know not enough power could degrade performance. That's a first for me! :)
Any comments, anyone?
Are you using the latest Etron v1.1 driver? If you are, I would say its probably something weird to do with the Adata drive as other USB devices are ok.
Hi guys, I've been tweaking my OC using some of the tips on here currently sitting at 4.8ghz @ 1.345v. The only odd thing I noticed is that I'm getting just over 60 GFlops when stress testing via LinX. AFAIK the value should be >100? Anyone have any ideas? Cheers
I think you need to download the AVX pack. Here's LinX included with AVX: http://gigaflopd.com/downloads/linx/Quote:

Has anyone gotten suspsend state s3, s4 or s5 to work with linux ?
I don't run Linux, nor do I have it to hand so somebody else will have to comment on that.
i have been having this problem with ATI Catalyst driver on this board. (didn't have it with the old P55 Gigabyte board, so it is not a problem with the driver or the card ALONE, but a combination of ATI driver, Intel driver, Virtu driver and/or UEFI)
the problem comes up when i try to uninstall the catalyst driver when a new driver is released. i don't think if i update is right on top of the existing driver, this would happen. but since most people recommend the former method, that is what i have been doing.
i use ATI - Software Uninstall Utility link in add remove programs in control panel to uninstall the driver. what happens is, it will uninstall the driver, but then i get blank screen, as if virtu got stuck in ati driver (but now there is nothing there) and couldn't switch to intel driver or even standard VGA driver (i guess this is not supported by virtu). only thing i could do is to hit the reset button. the driver was really uninstalled as i got the standard video controller (why doesn't virtu use intel driver in this case? >_<), but there were few other stuff remaining. the control panel link is still there, and i can remove the rest of it through it without a problem. then install the new driver and reboot and you are good.
i also tried doing this by disabling virtu first, but it didn't do any good.
is this the same with nVidia cards? or is there anything i can do about this?
Thats a very well known ATI uninstall issue. Its not board specific nor is it anything to do with chipset or Virtu, its just a bug with the ATI uninstall process (you should be used to those by now.. ATI drivers have been junk for some time :p: ) Instead of using the ATI uninstaller boot to safe mode and use Driversweeper, restart, done.
really? never had that issue with the old board thoughQuote:

Yep its just a driver uninstall issue. I had the problem with 2 4830s and a 3870.
Just been reading on the OcUK website, apparantly Overclockers UK will have stock of the new Asrock gen 3 motherboards next week for anyone interested.
I guess that means I'll have to make another thread when the boards are released to deal with all new questions ;)
Is there anybody who could post the CPU-Temps in UEFI-BIOS of an i7-2600K with this mobo directly after turning on the (cold) computer. In UEFI I get 36+°C a few seconds after starting the computer at an ambient temperature of 22°C and it rises approx. 1-2°C per minute. I think the base temp of 36°C would be okay running the UEFI for 10 minutes, but it seems to me too high after 15 seconds in use... Maybe a sensor defect?
Thank you in advance!
Best we have pinned the UEFI temp down to is that it measures the actual core temp and not the IHS temp ;)
Both my msi and asrock mb report similar (high numbers).
