Is there a way to change the multi in Windows using TuboV or any other software tool?
Could be anything like that- You really should take advantage of having that board swapped out for a B3.Quote:

I'd like to have all these fans controlled by the CPU temp, but i dont think i should power all 4 fans from that one header.
Would it be ok to just take the pwm single and jump it to the other 4 fans i want to control with a separate wire?
I'm not really sure where i could put those temp sensors in order to get a reading close to cpu temp.
Can anyone think of a better way to accomplish my goal?
Yeah I know but ASUS PT took a lot of time to get M4E B3 over here... We only got stock @ the store last week, I'm planing the trade really soon :)Quote:

Attach it to the VRM heatsink of the MIVE (R3E has the IOH not this) - it gets quite hot when the CPU is loaded so you should be able to set a profile. Or tape a probe to the outer edge of the CPU IHS.Quote:

Drop me a pm of full system config, BIOS settings & drivers etc and I'll look into it next week when i am back at work, unless I can find out some info sooner.
the only time I see instability is when the hot-swapping option is set wrong. If set to Disabled have you tried Enabled for those ports?Quote:

There's nothing to be sad about with a 5G OC. The required voltage really comes down to luck of the draw.

I have a question for anyone that knows the function of each pin in the Sandy Bridge 1155 CPU socket or at least the function of the two pins that are damaged in my Asus Maximus IV Extreme motherboard. One pin has the contact area missing (from arcing I think) the other is bent out of position but I’m not sure I know how? I’ve included photos below such as they are as I don’t own a nice camera, sorry.
I’ve had the overclocking hobby for quite some time and have killed my share of hardware over the years and have tried to learn from each mistake (read dead hardware). I try to buy good hardware in hopes of increasing the hardware survival rate but one thing I know based on history is that I can break just about anything. To prove it, lately I’ve managed to kill two of these M4E’s the longest either on lasted was four days or less.
I’m not saying anything was wrong with either one or that Asus is making a problematic motherboard after all if I had used either one as it was designed to be used both would undoubtedly still be working. Fact is out of the many motherboards I own Asus makes up about 60-75% of the total so yes I like them.
The first one died shortly after running heavy 3D bench’s using a 2600K @5.6GHz+ @1.65vcore LLC set @ extreme. This was using a SS phase change cooler temps@-45C+/- on the processor. I'm not sure that one was moisture related but I can’t prove it. I was running 4 GPU’s (1x5970+2X5870’s overclocked)
The second M4E (the one in question) died or stopped posting while using the same cooling plus the same GFX cards but the processor was a better one as it was running @5.7GH+ @1.62-1.64vcore with the LLC one notch lower if I remember correctly. Again this was during or after running heavy 3D benches but in this case moisture may have been all or at least part of the problem? Anyway this second one didn’t just die it did try to post but it just couldn’t complete the post. I wish I could remember the post code it stopped on but I don't.
Now the reason for wanting to know each CPU socket pins function or at least the damaged ones.
When I removed the CPU I examined the socket and found two damaged pins. One pin was bent down and to the right and also had the contact area missing. This may explain the frying or electrical arcing sound I heard when it was trying to post? The other damaged pin was also bent down and to the right but the contact area appears ok. I bent both pins back into alignment with their brother and sister pin rows. Of course the one with the missing contact are may be a little short of the target contact position?
I’m not sure how the socket pins are getting damaged unless it’s the combination of moisture and high current? I have changed quite a few processors in the 1366, 1156 and now the 1155 socket with little problem until the 1155 so I’m not a noob with them. I just don’t really see how I could damage the pins by carefully removing then replacing a processor but I guess most anything is possible. As I said before I have proven that I can break just about anything.
I thought about buying a 2500K (no HT) and installing it in the socket with the straighten damaged socket pins then try to boot it up and if it does post and test ok then I’ll leave that CPU in and build a gaming rig around it? If it won’t post I can still use the 2500K. Of course if someone in the know tells me that those two damaged pins if misaligned will kill the 2500K then I’ll have to think twice about even trying it? I just hate to throw the M4E in the garbage without trying to get it going but I don’t want to kill a 2500K either.
This first photo has a reading magnifier lying on top of the socket in hopes of increasing the magnification of my poor camera. Again sorry of the poor photo quality.

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...420-marked.jpg
Can't see the images here in the office but if it's the top side of the socket it's power related (VCC/VSS).
I got the same bent down pins on my Deluxe, I don't know how it turned out like this but I aligned them to a proper state and my 2600k works ok.
Thanks for the reply. Do you have access to a diagram with the pin assignments or a link to one?Quote:

The other pin is B23 (VSS ground). I'll try to get a better look at those two pins to see if it is possible they somehow came into contact with each other? If so I suppose that could explain how pin A24 lost it's contact area?Quote:

I don't know how it's gonna turn out in the future cuz Im about to RMA the motherboard. It's old B2 rev. Deluxe.
Arcing is a possibility. Possible causes include over-current (way beyond specification current handling for the socket) or over-current due to poor contact caused by excessive torque from cooler mounting.Quote:

I installed a 2600K in it then flipped the switch and it posted right up. After some testing I did find that the DIMM B2 slot is dead though. Oh well I’m just happy that it posted the loaded windows.
I didn’t clock it up or stress it that much just wPrime 1024 @stock settings. I think I’ll just stick in a case and make a gaming rig out of it.

Guys i have problem and i dont know where it is cause.
Max which i make with my stuff is 5.2Ghz with 1.52V. When i want go higher i have some problems:
- 53x - post bios and then black screen with cursor
- higher cpu voltage - cpu over voltage error
In this case, i go to bios and gave ignore on voltage monitor. After that the same like with multiplier - black screen
On both cases, when i have black screen - i have AE code on mobo LCD.
Here some info about hardware:
1. M4E bios 1303
2. CPU batch: L042B635
And some screen:
http://www.abload.de/img/beztytuudks8.jpg
If you have Internal PLL overvoltage enabled then there's nothing you can do, your chip sucks, either way 5.2G with 1.52v it's a bad chip after all.Quote:

What's the general concensus on high voltages and chip degradation? If the cooling in your system will keep your temps under 80C while stress testing is it safe to have your voltages up at 1.5 or above? I've seen lots of discussions about chip degradation with high voltages but I've always thought if your temps remain low (well under tjmax) it shouldn't cause any degradation.
Temps aren't really an indication of the overall possibility of degradation. Running stress tests around 5GHz and you start pulling double stock specification current level - some chips will handle this better than others.Quote:

I just want to notice that heat is not a main reason of degradation it's one of the consequences of physics behind the CPU chemistry.-) You can kill not only CPU with high clocks but motherboard socket too even the temp is under control.
Man after alot of testing today is a great day, I found the problem with freezing using the Intel controller.Quote:

Raja, could you run at those settings at ~5GHz, +/-?
I just got this chip so am not looking to flail it as I need it to last. If you have a set of Hypers have a look and see if you can pass with the CPU low (@stock), if not I guess there's no need to look further just yet. Just working on a few things here with various memory sticks before I OC to about 4.5GHz tops as I want to use S3 on this rig.

Many thanx to “Raja@ASUS” for his input to this thread and especially for this guide………………….
Offset Voltage:
http://www.asusrog.com/forums/showth...U-Core-Voltage
Reduced my second chips’ 5GHz Vcore in Prime Blend from about 1.49v to 1.44v using an offset of +0.100. I can use +0.060 to run 20+ LinX.
I know, it’s no record and doesn’t seem much on paper but……….. when every millivolt counts.
Just a few comments. I’m not making any statements…………….
I’m really happy with this MIVE board. The BIOS (1485 for me atm) setup is a bit tricky for this casual ocker to grasp but checking XS and "asusrog" forums enabled me to progress. I use “Load Extreme OC Profile” to take care of the repetitive key functions needed to start the overclocking process and the settings I need to change are not too mind warping (don’t mention the “Skews”). Monitoring different outputs with my DMM is a bonus as well.
A few posters (various threads) seem to have no luck getting their SB’s over 5GHz. I am certainly no expert but the 4 cpu’s I had access to all clocked past 5.3GHz (different batches and e-tailers) . I know that many others have had better cpu's but I’m wondering if it is the stability of supply at high current values that holds other ppl back. A good quality PSU with good reviews emphasizing the stability of the 3.33v, 5v, and 12v steady states and their ability to hold up under high current stress might be a factor. I’m not promoting any particular make but good reviews emphasizing stability at high cpu loads (plus other device loads) has got to be important.
I'm not sure lapping the cpu has much effect. Again, just an opinion, but I lapped a 5.4GHz wall cpu and the wall changed to................exactly the same, 5.4GHz. Temps seemed lower but the wall did not shift.
Glad things are working for you. The skew stuff only comes into play when pushing for max memory clocks. I've got some tips for increasing BCLK and will probably add an addendum to the clock skew post at some point.
-Raja
I have an SS to hand and SB stories with low temps are not overwhelming (look out Kitfit, for the tales of woe :up:) but I was wondering............
I know that this is the wrong thread for SS but my question relates to the "LN2 enable" and "Skew" inputs. Do I need to work on these settings with SS? If so, what are the important insights to get going in this area (besides putting the LN2 switch to "enable" of course :rolleyes:)
LN2 enable - you can try this if the board/CPU does not POST, it may help.
Skews and differential clock voltage will only come into play if you wish to extend your max BCLK/memory frequency. I'll post some stuff in the clock skew thread tomorrow if Shamino hasn't already covered it in his guide.
I just received this board but it looks as if it has been used.
4 of the SATA cables and the bluetooth board are not in any packaging. Also the screw holes for screwing the board onto the standoffs are worn with 1 of them worn past the PCB.
I have contacted the retailer but will not know until tomorrow if they will do anything.
If they don't exchange the board, I will be refunding the rest of my £2800 build and going elsewhere.
Contact BBB if there in your area, can't sell referb in place of retail.Quote:

Suspect the "replacement" board on ur hand right now is actually ur last B2 board.
Asus just replaced the chipset from B2 to B3 without touching other components etc and send back to u without care of any scratch, dirty heatsink, missing accessories and bent pins on the board. They just want to make it as fast as possible and end this SATA issue.
I ended up mine by getting full refund instead of another revived board. That was after some arguement with Asus product manager.
I just picked up this board and been messing around with it for a little while. Was wondering if it was normal if it shuts down and then powers up shortly after whenever you reboot? Things like resetting within windows, hitting the reset button on my case, and saving while in the BIOS cause it to do that. When I had it stock and was installing windows it didn't do it, but after trying my hands at getting it past stock it started doing it. All I changed were things like disabling the Marvel and JM controller, DIMM and CPU voltage.
BIOS version is 1303.
hmm so far one bclk overclocking gtx480 ref is the easiest to clock without much skew adjustments no prob to do 2270mhz stable c7
plugged in a gtx580 and lol a lot of work so far to get 2200mhz stable

Guys, need some help. Just got my MIVE B3 replacement and am overclocking my 2600k on it. However, whenever I overclock 3 CPU cores disapear. This happened on 1101 bios so I flashed to 1485 - same thing. Never had this problem with this CPU on my old B2 MIVE... is there something im missing in these newer bioses?
MikeMk, did you check for pin damage on the new mainboard before isntalling the CPU? That would be my first thought as to the cause. I assume you have checked to make sure the BIOS option to allow all cores stays correctly set when you make the settings changes to overclock.
Yeah, it's set on all cores. I havnt checked the socket for bent pins, but wots strange is that all cores work fine at stock. Btw, sine my last post I've also noticed the over-clock doesn't apply. With multi at x40 in bios, in windows it only shows x16 and doesn't increase under load.
reinstall windwos i had the same probQuote:

Thanks.
To install Windows you don't need any drivers. In the BIOS set hot-plugging to enabled for the port the Vertex3 is connected to. Once in Windows you can install the Intel AHCI drivers. I use the 10.1.0.1008 drivers without issue.
