voltset whit max MHZ ? on cpu try 5.3 ore 5.4

voltset whit max MHZ ? on cpu try 5.3 ore 5.4
it becomes difficult after 5.1
Just an update. I have been trying to get past the 4.8 oc, but as soon as I go over the multi of 48, no matter how many volts etc, I can get it linx stable, but like the you said, it will only wake to a black screen. I am just assuming it means its not stable. Just from past experiences, this is my guess. It's funny though, I am currently running @4.8 @1.365 v, and can't get passed this mark. Any suggestions? Could it be just a bios bug?Quote:

And of course,if Asrock guys read this tread,please,add oore memory dividers.I hate the big step betwen 1888 and 2133 because I have a 2000 kit.Except that,the motherboard is the best bang for the buck i got in ages.Nice and impressive work Asrock...hope to se you again when socket 2011 is launched.
@Clockz, 2600k with HT on results indeed in lower Gflops, so he is fine.
@Mysterfix, "additional turbo voltage" is a setting where your motherboard will give your cpu extra voltage (according to what you set there) when he goes into turbo mode. So this is a very useful setting when you still want to use all powersaving features.
Example: you can have while browsing a cpu speed of 1.6GHz@0.85V and under full load it will increase to 5GHz@1.4V
Using Offset Voltage over 0.100 doesn't have any effect for me, anyone else noticing this?
I'm playing with the offset voltage features and working on a stable 5ghz clock, I like the fact that it backs down the voltage when not needed. One thing I have noticed is that LinX is very easy to make passes on and shows stable but Prime95 running blend or large FFT im having a hard time passing more than 5 loops before a core drops out??? And it seems to drop a core no matter where im at clock speed and voltage wise, anyone else have this?
Are you using LinX with AVX? This is definitely more demanding than Prime.
Nope,I'll download SP1 and do that at some point today....not a big fan of all the stress testing more interested in being game stable at my settings, but I will try that out to see how it goes.Quote:

I have tried both those settings, and they will run fine through both Linx, and Prime using Windows 7 SP1. The problem is having the black screen after coming out of sleep mode. It seems that any multi after 48, no matter how stable the OC is with stress tests, it just wakes to a black screen. Can anybody else confirm this?Quote:

I seem to have gotten some bad ram, there rated for 1.35v but I have to use 1.45v for stability at default settings.:shakes:Quote:

Well I could pass Prime Custom/Small/Blend + Linx w/o AVX, run Black Ops or World of Warcraft for hours but Linx with AVX was still failing on me, whereas Prime stability most of the time didn't mean game stability for me.. :)
form 5.2HGZ an an up 2134MHZ on mem ? try 2T ;)
I've had more information passed onto me from Asrock and they have been able to verify half of the issues I've highlighted regarding UEFI 1.5 for the Extreme4. I've forwarded further information to Asrock regarding the issues their not sure on to help them identify and fix the problems. Currently, UEFI 1.42A still remains by far the most problem free for Extreme4 owners.
What do you think of version 1.51?Quote:

The 1.51 seemed to be pretty good until I tried messing with the timings on my ram.Quote:

Theres very little data available for 1.51 and I'm unable to find any kind of changelog. From what I know, 1.51 is 1.5 just with the LED options. Based on that, stay with 1.42A.Quote:

5. Power up.
That routine will ensure the "cleanest" flash possible.
I will remember that for next time, thank you.
People report that 99,8MHz BCLK issue is still present with this release. I will wait for some official BIOS.
They say SS-off bug is not that easy to fix as it is a bug inside Intel's MRC/ME code. Fixing this is going to lower bclk overclockabiliy they told ASrock_User. So don't keep your hopes too high :\
I just got an answer from Taiwan.
Quote:
Since change Spread Spectrum and overclock CPU frequency will relate to clock generator behavior, full reset once is necessary for system stability.
So once you change settings and an error occurs, you would have to reset the BIOS, in order to work properly.
Seems there is a v160 available which fixes the ss issue.
Issue is fixed as far as I'm concerned.
Additionally the latest versions feature Vcore up to 1.7v.
Since 1.60A my mouse is MUCH smoother in UEFI too ;)
Where I can find it?
//EDT
nvm
http://www.pctreiber.net/asrock-bios-downloads?did=243
This 1.60a bios ftw !!!
Now ASRock just needs to hurry up and release a v1.6 BIOS update (with vcore up to 1.7v) for the Extreme6 and the Professional??Quote:

Format yours pendrive to FAT32, put P67EXT41.60A on it and from UEFI start Instant Flash.
I have flashed to the other bios' no problem, obviously using these steps, but there has to something wrong with the file. I noticed it is only 3 MB, compared to the other ones which are 7-8 MB.Quote:

It is fine. Link is correct 100%. I have since come to understand that you need tu unzip that file. The downloaded file is aproximately 3MB but after unpack it is 8192KB.
How do you want to deal with UEFI if you don't aware such basic things?
Spread spectrum issue is fixed in 1.60A. Also loving the smoother mouse movements since that bothered me a bit on the older versions.
Sleep issue is still not fixed.
Obviously, after it has been extracted its still only 3 mb!Quote:

After playing with it for a little bit, this seems to be the most stable yet. No more cold boot problems, or the double post issues. Those were the most annoying problems for me. The spread spectrum issue is resolved as well. Keep up the good work ASrock!!!
Does anybody have thorough data on UEFIs 1.51, 1.53 and 1.6A? From what I have found out, 1.6A and maybe 1.53 are worth a shot but for me 1.42A works great apart from the on-off bug and thats not THAT annoying.
FYI Asrock FTP is curently "550 Access Denied", so I can't go snooping on their FTP atm. I also had a reply from Asrock and they have forwarded the additional information I provided them with to R&D. Oh, and both UEFI 1.53 and 1.6A extracted fine for me from PCtrieber, clocking in at 8MB each.
I suggest trying 1.60A, so far this one seems to be the best I tested :)
1.7 vcpu ;)Quote:

Make sure it's in a USB2 port and press F11 to access the boot menu during post
I haven't had any luck with the PCtreiber ASRock BIOS downloads either... I've tried several different ones and none will unzip correctly on my system(s). Kind of annoying... that seems to be the only source for beta BIOS out there that I can find? I need a new P67 Professional bios as the official 1.50 bios still has the 1.52v vcore limit!
You can find 152 version here ;)Quote:

I got problems with L1.42 version for Extreme 6.
Overclocking is good but my H24 (4.8 GHz, 1.37, No PLL overvoltage) settings doesn't work anymore, I got BSOD while gaming.
Back to 1.40 and everything is working nice again :shrug:
No such problems for me. 4.6GHz @ 1.36v works great :cool: Totally loving my 2500k @ 4.6. It stormed through 63 music vid conversions in about 10 mins :D

Guys, I'm having problem with Ocing my 2500k, the thing is, no matter what Vcore - voltage I put in the BIOS(for example 1.315v for 45x - Fixed Value), when I run prime or some any heavy benchmark soft, my real vcore is always drop to 1.2xxv + the multiplier fluctuates from 41x to 45x ( monitoring with AXTU). I've disabled Speedstep, Spread Spectrum, PPL set to 1.586 and the rest are on auto.
This is really annoying then, need some help guys.
Set Turbo and CPU Current limits to 255/255/300.

Awesome my friend, I think it actually fixed ! :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:Quote:
Originally Posted by radier

First of all use offset voltage instead of fixed. Set Load-Line Calibration to level 5 and offset for eg. to +0.030V.
Set VTT to 0.986V, VCCSA to 0,925V and CPU PLL to 1,709V. These are Intel recommended.
Also turn ON SpeedStep, Internal PLL Overvoltage and Power Saving Mode.
Let me know if it helped.
Seem to be offset voltage is much better than fixed value , kind of weird since I expected the fixed value should give "fixed" voltage but its obviously not. Also, can I change the ram speed since its running at 1333 but actually its rated at 1600Mhz, I dont see any option in BIOS allow me to do that - just load the XMP profile 1 only - :)Quote:

Yeah but thats the problem since it only runs at 1333 !Quote:

Also, my 2 USB3 ports in the back seem to be doesnt work, how do I active them lol ?
hi
has anyone got the extreme 6 1.50a bois to unzip corrently
have download a few times but either will not open or extracts to wrong size
also my samsung F3 1tb will not work on the sata 3 port
either just does not see it or drive clicks
works ok on marvel sata 3 and sata 2 ports
not too bothered at present as i will exchane ASAp
cheers
Set XMP profile back to "Auto" then you will be able to manually set 1600MHz and timings.Quote:

time to see if 1.50a any better
Can anyone verify using UEFI 1.53 or 1.6A if THESE bugs are still remaining or if most of them have been ironed out? I need to update my report for Asrock, so a general consensus is more appropriate than just my testing.
1.60A has ironed out most of the bugs for me. I do still have the num lock bug, once I change anything to do the sata settings num lock no longer works and I have to manually turn it on everytime I go into the UEFI. Other than that I haven't noticed anything else.:up:Quote:

I think they should focus on XMP profiles database especially if it comes to setting correct vDram. For eg my timmings are set correctly but vDram i set to 1,5V even if in UEFI profile shows 1,65V.
Good thing is that my RAM is stable on that 1,5V :D
best bios on Xtream 6 has been 1.33A
bios1.42 was crazy about voltset,an 1.50a and I can not Regt figure out, can not get the 2 new bios have stable whit high oc 5.4GHZ
For me it's still deleting profiles with CMOS reset, the other bugs are mostly gone at first glance.Quote:

Hmm, do I need to replace my PSU guys ( HX620)
http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/5158/testda.jpg
Have a look at the 12v rail, is this acceptable or I need at least 12.0000v or more ? This is priming @ 4500Mhz
Check voltage from molex using multimeter.
Does anyone know where measuring points are for vcore and vdimm on the Extreme4? I'd like to get some readings with my multimeter so I know exactly what voltage I'm getting at various settings under load.
Sadly I dont have one here :p:Quote:

No. Saved profiles are just that - saved and overwritten when new settings are saved. Saved profiles are not supposed to be wiped when you reset the CMOS, just any current CMOS settings. Its been verified as a bug by Asrock and their working on a fix.Quote:

Verified fixed in UEFI 1.6A:Quote:
Legend:
Green - Minor issue
Orange - Elevated issue
Red - Serious issue
Purple - Removed options
Black - Recommendations
Still present in UEFI 1.5:
- Full screen logo [Disabled] option is not saved into profiles
- Using Clear CMOS button results in all saved profiles being wiped!
Added problems with UEFI 1.5:
- Adjusting BCLK frequency results in the board failing to POST
- Disabling Spread Spectrum results in the board failing to POST
- When installing a USB2 Quickcam Pro 4000 connected to the rear USB3 port(s) the system will BSOD, pointing to the etronxhci.sys driver.
Removed from UEFI 1.5:
- "Good Night LED" option
- "Onboard Debug Port LED" option
- Adjusting BCLK frequency results in the board failing to POST
- Disabling Spread Spectrum results in the board failing to POST
- "Good Night LED" option
- "Onboard Debug Port LED" option
Steps in the right direction indeed :up: Once Asrock/Etrontech fix the etronxhci.sys BSOD issue you can be safe in the knowledge that you won't get any serious problems.
In the works to be fixed in future UEFI releases:
- Full screen logo [Disabled] option is not saved into profiles
- Using Clear CMOS button results in all saved profiles being wiped!
Asrock admit the latter of those issues could be quite tricky to fix, so give them some time on that one.
Yes, I'm back to 1.33A bios version too.Quote:

I do not recommend last 2 bioses for Extreme 6 :(
What Voltage do you use for that 5,4GHz? Maybe your CPU demoted?
Guys, please tell me how can I keep my 2500k multiplier stop fluctuating ? Ive disabled Speedspeed,Spread Spectrum, Powersaving , increase the power level to 255/255/300 but doesnt help. According to CPUz 1.57, at idle the multiplier jump down to 16x, under load up to the desired one i.e 46x.
Im using 1.60A bios, should I change to old one ?
Thanks !
Flashed to 1.50Bios, same thing, wth!
disabled all C stats ;) ALaddin
YEAH, it works, thanks mate =DQuote:
