Easiest way is using the F12 for screenshot in bios saved to a flash drive. Just need voltage and digi+ power control screens. A couple guys here are running 5ghz for daily use, post your screens, Im sure they can help.

Well I can start with the either of the profiles loaded with auto on the memory frequency. Stable and everything.Quote:

I tried to give a bit more to vccsa (up to 1.25v), but still not going anywhere. No boot.
Defoler give us sime more information ?? what are your bios settings ?? voltages, timings etc what Bios you using?? I run 5.0 ghz stable with hynix 32gb at 2333mhz,10-11-10 or 5.1 ghz 32gb Hynix chips stable at 2133mhz cas 9-11-10.
I just updated to bios 0901.Quote:

I set the following:
(100% stable. I know I can get vcore lower. I'm just trying to focus on memory.)
Cpu vcore = 1.45v
vtt vcore = 1.2v
vccsa = 1.2v
bclk = 100
multi = 45
Everything else, completely default. Untouched.
Even timings.
Changing anything, like vccsa boot load, vtt boot, vcore boot, setting dram volts to 1.65, anything, doesn't do anything at all to make it able to start above default memory frequency.
I tried setting timings to spec, I tried any of the profiles. Nothing helps.
I mean, it starts fine, but only if I set memory frequency to auto.
I even run memtest, works fine.
Won't boot. Either 6F or 66.
OH SCREW THAT MOTHERBOARD!
Now it runs, bus at 100, timings all on auto.
Memory accepts 2133. Boot and everything.
edit:
It decided that the default timings at 9-11-9-186-2, and running linx gives me an error.
Trying to set timings to 9-11-10-28-2, won't boot, again.
Get stuck at 01 most of the time while booting.
What timings etc is it setting at 2133 though ?? Often if you leave them on Auto they automatically get slackened off big style!!!!

linx throws a fit after a minute or so.
First of all I would set the Voltage for RAM to 1.65, VTT 1.25 and VCCSA 1.25 these are the standard settings for my RipjawZ which are a 9-11-10-28 2T kit at 2133mhz. I would then set the Clock Gen to 20uf and the Rampage mode to Mode 1. See if this improves stability at all. Have you tried using the XMP profile at all???
:clap:Quote:

I also tried mode 1 earlier.
I guess the clock gen did the trick.
Now computer starts with memory 2133 and correct timings.
Now its time to OC that sucker :D
Still on air. Hopefully on the weekend I will get my parts and get cracking under water.
Good glade its booting etc. Now get a stable overclock going!!!!

I downloaded the asus rog to my android, but I don't know how to make it connect to the motherboard.
Can it only be under the OS? Only using a bare windows7 install until I get all my stuff together.
For 5ghz with 16gb RAM @ 2400mhz I use 1.44v Linx, Prime and anything I can throw at it stable. For 5ghz, With 32gb RAM at cas 9, 2133mhz or cas 10 2333mhz same stability I use 1.46v. For different RAM speeds and amounts Differing VTT, VCCSA and PLL are also used and are essential for stability when clocking high. For 5.1 4 sticks I run 1.46v 8 Sticks 5.1 1.475 same RAM speeds as above but at 5.1 VTT and VCCSA go up sligthly.
I see thanks.Quote:

Any pointers in getting volts or heat down using other settings?
Use BLK Scew of -2 and -20 as the PCIE scew this is located as the first item in the CPU tweakers paradise section. LLC too high causes alot of current not just Volts so avoid this unless your benching. Air cool the VRM heatsink north of the CPU. Lower VTT and VCCSA cause less heat. Just the obvious stuff really.
Got my 2nd CPU 3930K and a new board RIVE I thought will solve my 32GB problem. Same issue, can't get all 8 sticks detected on this board as well :confused:
Best is when I put 7 sticks it will detected all 28GB, but once i put the last stick to dimm A1 I got 24GB only booted, weird thing is I can see all 8 sticks in SPD info in BIOS and CPU-Z.:confused::down:
Picked up some new memory to play with. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820147096
1600mhz 11-11-11-28, 1.35v. Have been playing with them a few hours, so far they are doing pretty good for the price. Passed HyperPi at 2133 10-10-10 at 1.43vdimm, also at 2400mhz 1.53vdimm 11-11-11.

Clear CMOS and insert modules into Channel A only. See if the board will POST. If it does, the issue is somewhere in how you are setting the board up. If it does not POST, then check the CPU socket for any damaged pins and ensure the cooler you are using has not been over-clamped. If nothing helps then contact ASUS Support in your region and swap the board for another in case there is something physical at fault.Quote:

After that I'll give a try to duty power.
Also any recommended settings to put under digi+?
Using LLC past medium will only make a difference because your load voltage will be higher than 1.44V. You can get the same effect by increasing Vcore in UEFI (BIOS). Make sure you actively cool the VRM if you are going to load the CPU at these voltage levels.Quote:

I'm about ready to upgrade to either SB or SB-E, I hope all that is needed is a BIOS update to enable PCIe 3.0 bandwidth because it would be sweet when Ivy B-E comes out!
They didn't drop support. The problem is that there were no PCIe 3.0 devices to qualify the standard with. The chipset and mobo are built to 3.0 specification. So when actual devices are released (new gen video cards), these current mobos should support them fine. Most X79 brands are advertising PCIe 3.0 ready.
Awesome, now I can upgrade knowing that I can upgrade later to Ivy Bridge E, sweet!Quote:

hahah thats why its called RAW MHZ:Quote:

It looks to be so much better than the original block.
Especially as it cools all the VRMs and not just the ones in the middle.
Newest is on top and they are in order of release. :)Quote:

anyone tested LinX? my run is loading forever...:shrug:
If you loading with 32gb used, this might take ~10min each run !

Yes LinX will take forever with 32 or even 16gb, I dont think its worth it to run for that long. Cant be good for the chip when running at a high frequency.
I ran 2 full run with 16gb used for memory stability. Then i ran ~25loops with 2000mb used for the CPU stability.
Enough for me, no BSOD.
Should be plenty.
I guess if you are running this 24/7 and need stability it is important to do all the testing. But I have pretty much given up on LinX and P95 blend. Spent years testing with Prime and sometimes not running the OC I wanted because it failed after 8-10hrs of torture testing. Now I just dont care, if it passes HyperPi, 3dmark 06, Vantage or whatever Im running at the time, and some BF3 Im happy. Lifes too short to stress over stress testing. :D

Can anyone help me getting over a raid issue?
I'm installing win 7 on a couple of vertex3 SSDs in raid 0, connected to the sata6g 1 and 2 (intel ones).
I put the RIVE disk in and let windows 7 install find the drivers (found them as C600). It find the raid but tells me I can't install to them, as it will have issues with the bios.
I'm using 0901 bios.
Anyone has an idea?
Do I need other drivers in order to be able to install windows on this raid?
Edit:
I also tried using the asus site RSTE drivers.
Same thing.
It finds the raid drives, but it says that the bios cann't run them, so he won't install...
Edit2:
Well I got it to work by doing a script install.
Hello people.
Received yesterday morning the new Giga x79 ud7. Made setup, entered to windows and then flashed to new bios f4 through qflash.
After flashing, the pc restarted and started to show a screen with system unstable because of overclocking. I had all in auto without any overclocking, but memory timings and voltage to 1.655.
After three times automatically restarting, the system at last started to load windows, but suddenly the pc was in fire, with smoke coming from it.
Opened the case and saw 4 cpu phases burned out. I have just contacted my reseller to make a rma. Meanwhile I am using again the rampage iv. I have been lucky cos the other components are safe.
So, first impression of the Giga board, VERY VERY BAD....
Regards from Spain.
Hello fellow, it will slaughter the Gigabyte board, at least the ASUS you are better, sure.Quote:

Tying to test superpi, I'm trying to start with HT off.
For some reason I keep getting that stupid 225 windows hardware error when ever I put HT to disable. Even if I'm using my stable OC settings.
Anyone has a work around about that, or I might be doing something wrong?

Hello,
Was just told about this thread because I have my SECOND R4E board now. First was toast, Most likely blown up from a faulty Corsair AX1200 PSU.
I had a Gigabyte UD7 which I was able to get to 5.5Ghz on phase. I actually could had went further but I had a mishap and got it wet so its all blowed up now!
Anyway, I started this up in Raid0 and noticed that two ssds in raid0 are a bit faster then it was in the Gigabyte board
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2.../Capture-4.png
And then I noticed after loading optimized defaults after switching to Bios update 0803 that it is awfully hot and there is no speed stepping!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...2006/temps.png
Can someone tell me what the best current stable Bios is for overclocking? and also, Is this board supposed to be default no speed stepping
Or is this a condition from the 0803 bios?
One more thing...When loading the AI suite it did not load any ICONs and going to the folder to try and find one nothing loads. Since I know very little about this software, Am I missing something?
Does anyone know how warm the VRM/chipsets run on this board? Considering water cooling if things are on the warm side or if there is any benefit.
VERY warm. Active cooling or the VRM area is recommended for moderate to extreme overlocks if you use higher Vcore and LLC. The board throttles quickly if the VRM get toasty. I'm anxious to move to water cooling the VRM. I have the Koolance block on the way now.
On a side note, the RIVE doesn't have a reported VRM temp. It would be useful.
Today was officially out of ASUS FTP.
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/LG...ge_IV_Extreme/

better than beta BIOS for OC?
You know that the ASUS FTP server does not information until you get in the download pages.Quote:

omg, come back home press start button, error code B7 :confused:
Edit: nvm just fixed it by moving the LN2 jumper to disabled (default is enabled) :)
After getting a few more X79 boards I now realize how useful X Socket is. My air cooler, water block, and phase cooler wont fit without it. To test the other boards I had to steal X Socket from RIVE.
Hi all, I am in need of some help from the masters. :D
I am far from an expert overclocker, just a dabbler. Was hoping you could share some advice on a strange situation I am having. Here is my setup:
3930K
Rampage IV Extreme
16GB (4x4GB) Gskill DDR3-1600 F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL
Silverstone ST-1500 PSU
GTX 480 Tri-SLI
I have the two extra PCIE 6 PIN & ATX CPU 4PIN connectors also hooked up to my PSU.
Currently I am running 46x100 = 4.6GhZ @ 1.36V, using High LLC and the other voltages I have set manually are 1.175 for CPU VTT and 1.175 VCC, PLL 1.95 and DRAM 1.65. All C1E/Speedstep etc. is off. I am using a NH-D14 CPU cooler. Load temperature is about 65 on all cores.
So I decided I'd like to go for a higher clockspeed since I am okay with up to 1.40 to 1.42V or so (yes I am a wimp) I discovered this funny situation while I was playing with my overclocking.
To test stability of my 4.6 overclock I ran Memtest 86+ for 8 hours - no errors, HCI memtest to 1000% coverage - no errors, 20 passes of LinX with Max memory - no errors, 24 hours of Prime95 Small FFTS - no errors, Prime Blend 2 hours - no errors. I also can play any game, BF3 etc and have never had any freeze-ups, BSOD or crashing.
I thought the 4.6 overclock was just fine. So when I was playing with my new overclocks at 4.7 and 4.8, again I could pass 20 passes of LinX and run a little prime95 small ffts fine (just a few hours before I found this problem) I decided to try doing Prime Large FFTS instead of blend, system BSOD error 101 after 5 minutes. I tried to give it more voltage all the way up to 1.41V for 100x47, still BSOD in Prime Large FFTS. Also tried raising VTT/VCC to 1.2, no help.
So I went back to my original 4.6GhZ overclock. I was curious and tried to run Prime Large FFTS on the 4.6 overclock.... BSOD after 5 mins, error 101!!!! :( I couldn't believe it, the system was totally stable and passed linx, prime small, prime blend, memtest 86, HCI memtest - but it fails prime large ffts. I've tried giving it lots more voltage to Vcore, VCC, VTT, memory, playing with higher LLC and still crashes after 5 mins of Prime large ffs with BSOD 101. But the system is totally stable in everything else.
Any advice from the experts why this test is failing for me ? And otherwise system is rock stable in all other tests ? (but obviously not stable since fail prime large ffts!!) :D
Thank you in advance.
i would say turn off AC, clear cmos, boot up fresh and key in voltages and ratio once again. this time use clockgen filter set to 20UF as recommened by usewrs and use vccsa starting at 1.15v keeping not more than 300mv delta from vcore. btw large ffts make cpu run hotter no? and also the imc runs hottter since its on the cpu no?
The HardOCP review stated they used BIOS 0903!? I can't it anywhere. Maybe it was a typo?
As far as I know the latest is 0901. I have tested all the Bios so far and I think 0083b and 0901 are the two best.
I have been on 0085b for a week or more (TY LardArse). Seems to be the best one I have used so far. Dont see any need to try newer bios.

I think they are having memory issues there and don't know it. And they are blaming the chip/mobo instead of tweaking their memory. That's my opinion anyway....
I agree. Im able to bench 5ghz and im not a "pro OCer". I know what i do but there are alot of peoples far better than me at OCing. The conclusion HardOCp are making about the RIVE is nothing but what it think of this board. After about 1 month of playing with this board im VERY satisfied with it. It run my SLI flawlessly and OC easilly with a TONS of option to tweek it. YES the new 6core can generate alot of heat but this have nothing to do with the RIVE .... And at stock clocks i had ~50°c loading temps ...Quote:

Coolice you need to install service pack one and run Linx with the latest library to make sure its 100% stable mate. Also you will get the correct Gflops reading for the chip then around 166 Gflops+ at 5ghz. You look to have a great chip for sure but the greatest stress test for these CPU's is Linx with AVP enabled under service pack one. Try it you will see temps about 6C higher imediately. Without AVP enabled Prime is a better stress tester.
Mdzcpu I agree with you. They will have memory issues that took me / us on here a while to figure out and dont have the desire to do a proper job on the review. The review is really not indicative of what a good board this is. On the release bios I could get 5.0ghz stable straight up all be it with lower RAM frequency than I am at now. They really have not tried too hard at all.
1004 added to BIOS list in OP
Im still on 0801 for 24/7 and the 079B for benching.
I may give this one a try. Anyone tryed this 1004 ? better OC results ?
will try later tonightQuote:
