You sure about the shutdown and move the jumper back to 12?Quote:

I took that from the book though I never did that for changing my primary bios. I just loaded defaults then rebooted and used instant flash to jump to 1.60, have not tried the newer bios yet.
Hi, i've a problem with rapid oc. I can encrease the ratio but i can't encrease the BCLK.
I've install the INF file after rapid oc instal can be this the reason? or need some particular driver?

I have improved the memory overclocking ability in my BIOS already .
Base on different way of tweaking . The same memory module is possible to have different overclocking ability on different mobo .

It will flash ur main bios rom . Please follow the instruction on the screen .
Put the bios rom file into ur USB ,then choose the file from ur USB device.
After flashing the bios , follow the instruction on the screen . It will ask you to move jumper from 23 to 12 .
After that .... reboot . Everything is done .
U need to install Intel MEI driverQuote:

How to set the OC Formula IO L (CHA) and IO-L (CHB), if I, for example:Quote:

I can set a maximum of IO-L (CHB) +1Clock, but then I have. 4/4, I can not at IO L (CHA) -1 Clock so I have 3/3,
that's not so Can this be said, the IO-L (CHA) & (CHB) tREFI dependent?

Just write out a BIOS, what is working and if possible without memory profiles, which are good for nothing anyway.
Obviously you must have a bad board as this is easily one of the best memory clocking boards imho. I can clock my dimms fine with or without memory profiles, but I prefer to use them as it saves a little time over manually setting every secondary and tertiary.Quote:

I agree my OC clocks ram very well and takes chips to the absolute limits with ease and I too have tested a :banana::banana::banana::banana: load of boards, money is not an issue so my torture rack always has the very best. I currently have four liquid systems active in this room and this board build is the best one by far, in the last month nine different 3770K chips have passed through this board plus Gskill, Corsair, Teamgroup and Avexir ram all of which ran faster then there rated speeds rather easy on this board.
I did not say that the Maibord is bad and I had already some other motherboards including Asus and this is much better in terms of memory, all the same whether Hypers, BBSE, PSC.Quote:

Does not matter whether PSC BBSE or Hypers, the mainboard constantly spits 55 and I have experienced so far with no Z77 board. Except OC Formula and that has to do with BIOS.
Actually, for me, 55 on POST display on ANY 1155 BOARD is a timing or voltage issue, not anything else. Get 23, and you might as well forget it, but 55 can be dealt with.Quote:

I've been clocking ram on these boards the past two months(with about 5 more missing there):

I had the same thing with the MVE and vaseline after replacing the board all my issues were gone, do you have another sample to at least test with before you blame the bios?Quote:

Test a new board before you blame the bios:up:
Probly more Vdimm will help for 1300+ on rams regardless of board used.Quote:

Nice collection cadaveca, looks like this room.
Thanks!Quote:

Worst thing I could find about this board is that the yellow isn't the same colour on all the yellow bits and bobs. The BIOS wasn't as mature as it is now when I reviewed the board, but it has come a long long way.
I don't have many chips, and seemingly ones that do not like 2800 MHz or more, unfortunately, and no board has helped with that at all.
I'm done with Z77 now though. Didn't even keep me interested for a year. :shakes:
You're all absolutely painless, from 1.87 to 1.95 V VDimm?Quote:

Of course you can treat Post Code 55, the problem is that you have to flash with this mainboard, new BIOS.
It does not need a new bios,it needs a different memory vrm.It';s implementation it's :banana::banana::banana::banana:,other bbse or psc chips complete the 32M on other boards with 0.05 V less than this board,alsi the real voltage is 0.02 higher than what you see(a good friend tested extensively this board).It's a good board for CPU(Even if it's limited to 1.92V on ln2) but for memory it sucks badly.I am not going to start any fanboy war here,my sticks of samsung which performed flawless on maximus V gene,V formula and V extreme sucked so bad on this board.It's possible my board was broken,but it was then you better send me a new one for free cause i am not goind to start binning motherboards now,already tired of binning cpu's,ram,now mobo....?
I absolutely loved this board for it's CPU vrm,but memory is a crucial part too and this one it's unacceptable.
I'll be honest. I was able to boot at 2933 with the Gene even though it wasn't stable, it did enter Windows. With the same ram in the Asrock it would not post at 2933. Apart from that this Asrock board was stable as a rock and i really liked it even though it took me some time to get used to the spacey UEFI, especially with the sound effects turned on.
Also at 3D marks this board really shines.
The board is not bad, I'm not the person to issue the same and get all the chips on the board up and running, is a fact that the board is not the high-flyer is the way it is made is,
as for memory performance, self cheapest Asus can more as this board and under 1.80 V.
Furthermore, I have now shot up even with no board windows, with this here already twice.:down:

I think you can just send the mobo back for RMA and replace a new one .It is the fastest way to solve this problem.
I know u guys want to compare with ASUS mobo . In fact , lots people also clock bad on M5g ,M5e etc.
Thanks for u guys's advice . I will try to improve the quality of production on Z87 OC formula . For better consistence of overclocking ability. :yepp:
About the 2933 booting . I tighten the threshold of memory training for better memory verification .
