i think so as it needs low vcore much lower than all the ones i tested, but look this SO weird, it booted passed POST and showed windows prompt till x59 on older BIOS now on this 1850 dont go over x56, also i was able to x51 with no internal PLL and with this bios only till x50 then needs it...so weird man, lovely board but i cant save my OC profiles like on giga so i flash i will loose all and im getting used to learn this bios, so once i write down all settings i will flash to try again, but its so weird i cant believe, or either something happened to the chip or the BIOS got confused

for now i can bench at 56x on low volts that i was searching so long for that

thanks for your mesage pol

i still have the x54 beauty i love that chip

cheers !

No shows do not. Now I update any bios that this is happening in the sensor. I do not know what else I do, I hope it's just an error in reading or something.

hey :)

Do I need to have LN2 switch on the maximus 4 set to on for overclocking or is that not needed?
mentions really low temps but is this ONLY for cold boot issues and nothing more?

also am I correct in thinking that with the PCI E slots for graphic cards..
For single card it would go into top red PCI-E?

If it's cross fire/SLI then one card would go into the second red slot and the other card
would go into the last red slot at the bottom?

thanks :)

The LN2 switch is not needed for normal overclocking. A single graphics card will go in the first PCIe x16 slot and if running a second card insert that card in the 3rd PCIe x16 slot.

In the manual it says...

"In CrossFireX or SLi mode, use PCIE_X16/8_1 and PCIEX8_3 slots for PCI Express x 16 cards to get better performance."

So the 3rd slot will run at 8x speed ?....as it says...

"PCIe 2.0 x16 slot with x8 bandwidth"

Yes slot #3 will run at x8 speed. But this slot goes directly to the processor. Slots 2 and 4 go through the NF200 chip.

So sticking the cards in 2 x 16x is not always the best way?

The short answer is not always. You should just go ahead and test SLI/Crossfire in slots #1 & #3 and then test with cards in slots #2 & #4 and you will see the difference.

So i only need the bottom molex, since the top one is for additionnal CPU Power..

And the bottom one for PCI-E Lanes?

Hi,

I want to put my Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card into the PCIe 4 x slot at the bottom of the board. If this slot is populated does it degrade any other PCI slots?
I've looked in the manual, but still left me unsure.

thanks :)

Im No Expert, but if you only use SLI or Crossfire with 2 GPUS, it wont change anything, except that you have a better sound card.
