My setup is close to what you are looking at i.e. i5 3570K, Air Cooling (TRUE 120) Giga UD5 although I hear the 3 is also great & I have 8GB Samsung green.
I think the CPU temps are going to be the biggest problem to overclock past 4.5GHz

Yeah exactly, who has a chip stable at 1.3v and 4.8Ghz? Mine takes 1.365v for 4.8.
More people need to state room temps at 1.4vsome of these rooms are freezers
any of this board is good i would love the maximus V gene but it lacks of PCIe for my soundcard

thanks for your reply

Sergio, have you tried a hot flash?
Its something I used to do all the time just buy a non programmed (cheep ) bios chip remove your bios chip & re-fit it with a little bit of string under it to aid getting it out. Then start the board & once she's running pull out the good bios chip slip in the new one & flash a bios to it.
Ghetto programmer :D
C-N thanks for your help
but the situation is that i have BIOS 1 (the one i bough on ebay) and BIOS 1 (the original MIVE), if i press the button and go to BIOS 1 PC simply do nothing but restart in half second endless loop
so please tell me step by step cauz i got your idea but not the exact procedure
thanks for your patience
Cheers
Sergio
You’re welcome mate :up:
I haven’t done it for years & even then I used to flash in dos with a 1.44 floppy but If you have a removable bios chip I cant see why it wouldn’t work flashing in windows or from a USB stick or even from a win 98 boot disk & dos..... It may even work from the bios flash utility :shrug:
Basically start your board with the good chip & once you are in a position to flash the bios either in dos/windows whatever hook out the good chip..... the PC will still run.... put in the bad chip & flash a new bios to it.
Maybe google bios hot swap/flash.
ahhh you mean while board is running oh ! didnt know that method but the bad part is how on earth i flash second bios cauz on the MIVE i have a button and whatever i do will be on good chip not bad chip that is my main concern...
to flash the bad one i have to hit the button first before start and move to the bad bios, and thats the point i cant boot, i used ROG to reprogram chip and wont start...
u got me ?
With the good bios chip you go to bios then replace it (in the same socket) with the bad chip and hot flash it
I would like to add that i have a 3770k on a H100 @ 4.4ghz on an msi z77ma-g45 with a 32gb mlc ssd and nothing else and has been running 100% usage for about 30 hours now and is only pulling 122w from the wall
thanks dumo
so, i just make the PC boot with good bios, and when it booted i flash it on windows, as if i reset to go to EZ flash wont start right ?
or make the PC boot go to bios and take the bios out and put the one i buy on ebay and flash it ? this is what you mean ?
@"masterg"...
Yes, IB power consumption is impressive... My 3570K is currently running AIDA64 stability test 100% load at 45x with my 3570K using the on die graphics along with four fans, two pumps and one hdd and my Kill-a-watt shows pulling just ~135 watts.
My 3570k runs at 4400 with 1.26 Vcore
And BSOD x45 even with 1.28 vcore. Thing is according to CPU-Z vcore drops a lot when in Windows and under load. This is on z77-v Pro board and latest BIOS.
Cooling is H80 in well ventilated case (Antec 1200) and temps are not higher than 72C using Prime 27.6
Any ideas on what I could do to improve o/c?
What is a safe 24/7 Vcore for Ivys when using water?
Based on my testing, you will need 0.06 - 0.07V more for a 100MHz jump in frequency. So, try 1.3 - 1.32V first and see if it's stable, but watch out for temperatures. Then work your way down and try to lower the vCore.
To minimize heat, lower cpu pll to 1.5 - 1.6V.
Yes. And if ezflash can't flash it for some reason, you could try force flash it within windows. Download AMI flash tools and extract it. Boot and load windows with good bios chip, then swap it with the bad one. Navigate to /aptios/afuwin64 or /aptios/afuwin32 according to your OS, load your bios file and force flash.
Note I haven't tried it other boards, but only on my M4G-Z.
Chip came today. Batch#L206A973.
Testing now, will post some screens later. May have gotten a crap IMC, having trouble booting at 2600mhz, 2400 is pretty easy (which it should be).
Sergio! What's up bro, been a while. Good luck with the flash.
