One of the best all round boards on the market man... Brian would have found this one uber boring as almost any RAM kit directly works out of the box... Kuddos to Nick Shih, the bios team and a bit of Splave...
Gigabyte also improved big time, ASUS went backwards ( Impact was fab, Gene was far less... )
yea this board got me breaking out old and new ram only thing is i cant bring up the bclk on this board it just results in a post rest im testing some psc and its giving me 7 errors which im trying to iron out at 2600mhz 8-12-8-28 so i figure i drop the divider and see how stable going from 2500 but even at 104 bclk it just resets

did the beasts arrive?
Managed this today, had these Dominator GT's 2000 cl8 for a few years now, thought I would see what they are capable of doing on this fantastic board, not bad me thinks. Never really been into Ram overclocking, so a novice so to speak. Not to sure how much further they can be pushed. ??
Also have a set of Dominator GT 1600 cl6 Elpida Hypers, does anyone have any idea what they would be capable of, any help would be appreciated by this Memory noob. lol

quick run to check clocks

A lot of fun clocking this board. Your platinum 2133 C9 Samsung will be good to go with it :)
@mismax I wouldn't even bother running 4 dims on this board that would be holding you back,just run 2 dims and then start tightening it all up,you can check lots of subs around and that will show you all the sub timings everyone's is running,this will save you so much time as its a new platform to you.
so not true about efficiency. hypers run great efficiency!

Never tried hypers on the ASRock to be honest. On the ASUS boards as I couldn't tighten the TRDRD and the TWRWR value below 5 (always post code 55)... so I stand corrected :) Great run and info Zen
It confirms that ASRock did a excellent bios on these boards, hopefully the same will happen on Z97 :)
Just a quick one from me. Having trouble passing SuperPI @2600, but 2400 not so bad.

Just thrown in a pair of Crucial Ballistix Sport 1600 cl9, Micron D9's I believe, stock voltage 1.5v, gave them 1.65v for this.
