jumper upside of star button & reset are LN2 MODE and is also knowed
i was reported that a good member here that only benches, and i like hard 24/7 so i wont risk my stable settings im using 5GHz vcore offset and very tight 2600 10-12-12-22 1T settingsQuote:

I found a couple of "bugs" in bios.
- Changing CPU multplier always enables EIST,
- Having all unneeded onboard devices disabled for benching, loading my daily 24/7 profile in OC Profiles makes the systems hangs,
-The board seems to have a mind of it's own about choosing first boot device,
- Full screen logo enables whenever it feels like it even though i always have it disabled.
All minor flaws, i had with both bios 0078 and 0903.
Beside that i really like the board.
board's amazingQuote:

never happened to me but are u using W8 just in case ? cauz its full of lockups, freezes, etc...Quote:

I had it with bios 0903, then flashed to bios 0078 and experienced the same. Doesn't bother me that much but it would be better if those "bugs" weren't there. Especially the lockup after changing profiles is annoying and takes a shutdown and bios reset to recover. Going from my daily settings to my SuperPi 32M profile works fine, switching back makes it lock up everytime, the second i hit the yes button.
Thanks for the info! food for thought. I've just removed it for now. :up:Quote:

You sure it's 1001 Sergio? I just downloaded 1101 from the official Asus site, still a bit reluctant to flash it. Do you think it's worth it?
He meant 1101, like he said few posts back.
It's working just as good as previous, but so much quicker boot, thanks to some great new features. :up:
Sergio, is it working good for you too?
yes Zeus sorry its 1101Quote:

So f.u.c.k.i... great andres! thanks by the links
anyone knows why with this bios new ( 1101 ) the system come fine to 4,9 Ghz and more beyond need much ,much vcore to hit 5 ghz! ,anyone any idea? for example 4.9 Ghz 1.48 PRIME & OCCT etc stable ( 3570k ) and for 5.0 ghz give me 1.56 Vcore !!!!!! When before just run with ...1.48 vcore...I don't understand...any help?
same 3570 k here costa rica batch 3214C618
well from 4.9 to 5GHz on IVY there's a hughe diff on vcore on any BIOS mine uses 1,5 loaded for 5GHz but im using vcore offset so when i like now writing its on 1,25 :)Quote:

Hi guys I just bought a gene and my MB is not working as it should. It came with bios 813 and I ended up updating to 1101 so it aint a bios related problem.
I think something is really wrong with the voltage regulation and I'm also afraid that it will endup killing my cpu... So at default it will boot up to windows but randomly shutdown, even with 0 load, out of the blue, and boot up again... temp are at low 30s so it's all good. Though voltages are not, while watching them with cpu-z they will.jump up as high as 1.36v which is just stupid for default settings... choosing 1.36v for my usual overclock will endup having the board feeding over 1.5v on bios... and it will shutdown just after windows logo.
M4E was a smooth experience but sadly I told myself I wasnt gonna buy asus anymore after all the troubles I had with their :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty rma... seems I ended up.doing another mistake... my previous asrock wasnt thr best board in the world but not as :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty as this
did you load setup defaults and leave STOCK all and see if it does so ?Quote:

What does your bios itself say? Maybe flash went wrong and you're still running the old bios? CPU-Z says 1101 for mine
Bios says 0904 and i was using this bios BIOS 1101 with modded IntelŪ RAID ROM 11.5.0.1414 done by stasio big thanks to him !!! Maybe i should try from Asus site instead
EDIT: Working now with the one from Asus website.
Yea i see, downloaded stasios bios again and flashed. No RAID driver is updated, have to do it manually then. Itīs strange when itīs working for you :)
When ai say default, it's as load setup defaults, so everything is fully stockQuote:

im happy now i played for hours and all stable again

Just got the MVG myself. Nice looking board. I only have SATA2 drives or SATA drives and the MVG only comes with SATA 3.0 and 6gpbs SATA ports. Is it backwards compatible?

Too much overclocking for you :P
I have the same cpu as you, any pointers on how I can get 4.8ghz to 5.0ghz stable? I'm on watercooling as well. My ram is 2*4gig of Samsung 30nm. Right now I'm on Auto CPU overclocking at 4.6ghz bios 1011. Thanks.
lol well u know me :)Quote:

I guess you dont fold with this xcore, right? :P
i can prime an hour yes temps on 86C and came game for hours all games BF3, MOH, BC2, FEAR 3, DIRT3, SHOWDOWN, and all at 2560x1440 native res on my crossoverQuote:

andressergio would you be able to post your settings? Just the voltages mostly, I have a MVG on the way and have fallen behind on what Ivy needs/is safe for which voltages.
of course mate but most ppl will tell me its high but my chip is rock solid at this settings for 24/7Quote:

my I3570K 5GHz on water IHS OFF with new paste and on again + Team X 2600 CL10-12-12-22 1T tRFC 107 Latency Boundary 6
MANUAL VCORE
1) LOAD GAMER PROFILE and set x50 multi
LLC = Ultra High = 75%
INTERNAL PLL= ENABLED
VCORE= 1,485
VTT= VCCCIO = 1.1
VCCSA = 1.1
PLL = 1.7
VDIMM 1.665 (this depends on your mem)
OFFSET VCORE this will make your chip load the max when gamming and when needed and when browsing or whatever will be on 1,25volts :)
1) LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS and reboot
2) enter the DIGI VRM and set VCORE PHASE CONTROL = OPTIMIZED (this will enable MANUAL and OFFSET otherwise you wont see that menu)
3) put VCORE = OFFSET +
VCORE= +0.25
rest same volts as above
4) ENABLE EIST and C1E states
Thats it mate
Hope it goes good my chip is vcore hunger but rock solid
Cheers !!!

I seem to have the same problem as Hersounds with this 1101 bios. 5Ghz stabilty requires a hell of a lot more Vcore. Also latency Boundary 5 on my PSC sticks was easy with other bios' now i have to set it to 7 as a minimum for some stability.
I want to flash back but EZ flash says Image outdated. Can i use the USB drive in ROG connect USB port then hold the rog connect button for a few seconds with this board to flash back to older bios?
i solved it Zeus as i said above BIOS 1101 requieres a bit more vcore, as im using offset i really dont care i like the bios very much as it boot fast as hellQuote:
Originally Posted by Zeus

Yes it did indeed but not the way it's described by Asus. I couldn't get it to flash and tried different USB drives, re-formatted the drives, tried holding the rog connect button for 30 seconds but the led close to the bios chip went on solid (no blinking) and it wasn't reading from the usb drive at all.
Finally after i renamed the bios M5G.CAP instead of M5G.ROM it flashed without trouble! Now i'm back at bios 0903 but i might give 0078 a go, in hindsight that was the best bios i've used.
The reason bios 1101 requires more Vcore is down to LLC working different i think. With bios 1101 having LLC set to high makes Vcore droop almost .025V! Ultra high seems the better choice there. Actually the same goes for bios 0903 i found. With bios 0078 setting LLC to high was good enough to get very little Vdroop.
Jesus SORRY mate i forgot to tell you that u have to rename the BIOS file to that :( really sorryQuote:

I got a second L221B009 3770K today that needs less vcore than my first one and the IMC is much stronger. I am now starting to play with memory to see how tight I can get them then will start pushing them higher. I love this board!

Hey guys, I need a quick advice from you all, as I have opportunity to get some stuff from abroad. :D
I was thinking of some memory, planing to use on Maximus 5 Gene (and Rampage 4 Extreme):
G.SKILL Trident X 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Model F3-2400C10Q-16GTX @10-12-12-31
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Model F3-2400C10Q-16GZH @10-12-12-31
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Model F3-19200CL11Q-16GBZHD @11-11-11-31
I'm leaning towards 11-11-11-31, but I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks guys! :up:
EDIT:
Team Xtreem 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Model TXD316G2400HC11QC-L @11-11-11-31
New favorite:
Team Vulcan 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Model TXD316G2400HC10TQC-V @10-11-11-31
Go for samsung low profile 30nm, 50$ 2x4GB so 100$ total for 4x4GB , they will take you to 2400 10-12-12-22 1.65v with ease and they are your cheaper option :)
The G.Skill 2x4GB Trident X 2400Mhz 10-12-12-31 kits are on sale at Newegg until 8/6/12 for $89.99 plus an additional $20.00 off with Promo Code EMCNCGJ44 You could get 2 of these kits shipped to your door for $139.98 which is $60 cheaper than the same G.Skill Trident X 4x4GB 2400Mhz kit you linked to above with the same timings. Heres the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231587Quote:

Sitting at 4.5 for daily use right now, IMC will do tight timings and subs but even 2400MHz on my Trident X 2400 kit it struggles to keep stable. Could be the memory too I guess but I will blame the IMC since the clocking is bad on teh chip anyway :p:
well mine eats vcore a lot but i use OFFSET as i showed you so dont be scared to use it while its cool and you remove the IHS that helps a lot to get stable ;)Quote:

Guys maybe an obvious question
i currently have my raid of SSD on the intel Sata 3 wich we have only 2 on the gene, but ASMEDIA has 2 more, can i make a mixed raid ASMEDIA + INTEL or its not possible ?
Sergio
As far as your OC tutorial is concerned, unfortunately for me it is no go. The PLL is a culprit. When on default and everything auto, in BIOS PLL shows 1.813-1.819. And it's stable up to 4.6 GHZ. To reach higher OC, I need to set PLL 1.81875 (it shows 1.829-1.832), meaningless the VCCSSA= VCCIO on auto or set to 1.100.
I think it is worth mentioning for everyone who has a crappy CPU sample as I have ;)
One thing I noticed after switching to 1204 BIOS. In BIOS I have LN2 mode enabled. Shouldn't the jumper be responsible for this option to be enabled? Of course I didn't even touch the jumper...
OK I'm starting to like this motherboard more :) Or it might be the 1204 BIOS.
The LN2 mode just disappeared after the first reset. I mean power off the psu and power on again and there is no LN2 mode anymore :)
More to this: when I reached 49 multiplayer, my keyboards (connected to two USB 2.0 on the back) backlight started flashing (1 time per 5 sec). I connected the keyboard via USB 3.0- no flashing. Back to USB 2.0- flashing again. This effect took place only when logged to Windows.
After I reset BIOS to default- flashing gone :)
Someone has similar impressions? :) Mayby using the 1204 BIOS too?

well im sorry you couldnt reach your goal but its not so easy on 3770K's to reach 5GHz stable, easier on the 3570K's
About W8 i hated it and loved it the day i put it, hated it cauz it keeps locking freezing no matter the new updates from intel nvidia etc, loved it cauz i feel it faster...
Crysis2 wont run, Max Payne3 also, BF3 stuttered, so i guess isnt mature yet
let me know if i can help you further mate !

How do you know when a mono is dying? Even after clearing CMOS and loading defaults it more of ten than not refuses to boot into windows. It freezes at the "flying" starting windows screen.
Tried individual member sticks stressed tested my CPU all at stock and it seems fine. Some times my HD takes bit to initialize but happens on two HDS. No artifact so that should rule out the bid. Only thing is mono or PSU. I have the maximus v gene.
you mean a mobo :)Quote:

BTW congrats !!!
Iīm trying to overclock my Samsung 30nm on this motherboard, anything over 2000mhz is a pain to get windows loading. Can someone pls give me som advice on voltage and other settings to achieve more OC ?
I did. Still a problem.
I meant that my X79 setup couldn't do 2666, I managed to do 2600 Super Pi 32M stable once before my chip degraded. I'm sure 2666 isn't even stressing this 3570k!Quote:

Having said that, i flashed bios 1204 this afternoon. All seems well, the rapid boot is a very welcome feature of this bios. LLC needs to be set at ultra high again with this bios or else Vcore went from 1.32V down to 1.296 under 100% load causing a bsod when set to high.
yes since bios 1101 that is happening...Quote:

this 1204 seems a little delicate with LLC...it just need same vcore as 1101 now its working but at first i have troubles getting mem and all stable
*confirmed it uses more vcore than 1101 :(
So nobody noticed that BIOS 1204 eats more vcore than 1101 and 1101 than 904 ???
I see that , but for me Ivybridge processors are "aging" fast and bios changes runs accordingly
If you installed windows with your HDD set as IDE, then you load defaults or clear cmos it automatically defaults to AHCI, which will cause it to hang or bsod at the splash screen. Make sure you set it back to IDE after clearing cmos or loading defaults if this is the case.Quote:

What do you mean by "eats"? That you need more Vcore or that Vcore droops more under load? I have to set LLC at Ultra High to get it stable.Quote:

went back to 1101 and everyting is normal now, OC on chip and mem is stable again as it was before i dont know whats wrong with 1204 but im scared of that "win8" compatibility could crap out the OC
cheers to all
Sergio
1204 is confuse i need 1.488 vcore to run at 4.8 ghz stable. it's stable? yes it is! but why use 1.48 vcore if earlier bios need same vcore to do 5 .0 ghz stable...i don't understand
