ket, where do you find the latest broadcom drivers? the latest version on the broadcom site is 14.6.1.0.
ket, where do you find the latest broadcom drivers? the latest version on the broadcom site is 14.6.1.0.
As in what kind of stability issues are resolved? :) One suggestion you could pass to Asrock is that it would be good to include the release date of all the drivers (like they do for their own stuff in the Downloads area). Another suggestion would be to include more informative Release Notes against a new Bios update.Quote:

I found the drivers on station-drivers. Everything appears to be in order with them, but when in doubt, stick with 14.6. Also, for anybody experiencing slow USB3 performance via the front panel it may be unrelated but with Etron drivers 1.105 and 1.104 front USB3 support is broken with the USB devices I tried, go back to Etron driver 1.101.Quote:

sorry but i'm not using this machine for games so i can't say. according to intel the gaming performance has improved, i still wouldn't expect SB's graphics to perform beyond a current $50-$70 discrete card. for basic productivity apps (windows aero, GPU-accelerated web browsers) and multimedia encoding/decoding it works quite well. it's also driving my 2560x1600 monitor over displayport just fine.Quote:

no argument from me on intel's horrific track record of trying to build GPUs that can deliver on gaming performance. not only is their hardware lacking but their drivers are still buggy and inconsistent.Quote:

unfortunately every single driver intel has had out there for the SB IGP has suffered from intolerable crashes. it seems that with this new driver release they finally have a viable product, at least for business/non-gaming use.
I have a heavily OCd GTX460 and when just doing normal stuff its totally inaudiable, and runs very cool. Even gaming my system doesn't get overly hot and remains pretty quiet, but I do use some of the best 120mm fans you can get - Coolermaster sickleflows, quiet, and shift a lot of air. My main point with the current intel IGPs is that intel themselves have even tried telling people their IGP can now do games, yet with my Stalker SoC mod using the IGP it could barely do 20FPS in a grassy area. What makes it worse is on paper the HD2000/3000 IGPs aren't actually totally horrible, the big problems all come from the driver side. If intel can't get their drivers right, they should ask ATI or NV for a crash course to bring them up to speed.
On the note of crashing, the new IGP drivers are no better than the ones that came out in April, I still get regular virtu BSODs when the IGP is enabled. The BSOD only ever happens at a fresh boot, and I can even simply just hit the reset button and 2nd time round no BSOD. During my testing I of course used the llatest Virtu software and intel drivers. If I had to point the finger at the specific cause of the BSOD I'd say it happens as the Virtu software initiates and loads the intel driver.
ket is there anyway to take a screenshot in the BIOS?
nvm,i found it its F12
Yea, just have to have a usb flash drive in, works good.Quote:

Everything else works fine, it is a good board but...
I am so disappointed that my issue has been ignored that this is the first and last Asrock board I am ever going to buy.
Indeed, the intel drivers are very bad. You might want to try the latest 2509 intel have released along with my INF mod (for 2509) and see how it goes. Just extract the inf file to the "Display" folder of the intel drivers prior to installing them.Quote:

Regarding the eSATA issue, I have now given up and I am selling the caddy and putting the HD in my PC so can't really check it anymore. But you say you tried it... did you reproduce the issue? It would be interesting to hear your results.
Thanks
sorry to disrupt the flow, but is there news about ivybridge support on this mobo?
Ket are you aware of the BSODs you get on this board when running off the iGPU?
The BSOD says something like, "Failed to receive the clock interrupt from the second processor."
Apparently, a lot of people are getting this with this motherboard. Same people say it is not there with the Asus's Z68.
I am getting the same thing because I sold my graphics card so that I could upgrade, and am currently running off the iGPU. The more I use this board, I feel like I've made a mistake by not going with Asus :(
Are you getting them? I haven't actually tried myself but if that is the case that would be really poor show, again!Quote:

Next time I would go with Gigabyte or MSI, they give their products the support they need, and their RMA service is one of the best.
yes i got them, about one or two a day for a week. it started as soon as i removed the graphics card. a fresh installation of windows with hardly anything installed as well. but after increasing the iGPU voltage, i could survive a day till my new cards arrived. now i don't have a problem. but i hope it doesn't affect the quicksync encodes if i ever wanna do one. i got an Z68 for that purpose. none of the other features matter.Quote:

One of them just doesn't want to play nice with the other. Sadly, such issues are impossible to avoid entirely because theres so many different bits of hardware out there. Could this issue be resolved? I'm unsure. The UEFI wizzards at R&D would need to look at the problem but they can't get your particular caddy to test the problem and I do know they have tried hard to get your caddy but just can't get one.Quote:

I can see:
L1.60B 9/23/2011 Instant Flash 3.20MB Improve system stability.
L1.60H 9/13/2011 Instant Flash 3.20MB Improve memory compatibility.
And there is also a new Etron USB 3 driver in there...
The beta UEFI section isn't updated as often, so while I can't say for certain It is more than likely as those UEFIs are just beta they were further down on the to-do list than more important things. As for the Etron driver, that driver would of come about because I notified my contacts Etron broke some USB support with their 104 and 105 drivers and that info got passed onto Etron to address :up:
Noted. Your BSOD issues might be a result of the Corsair memory you have, particularly if the kit revision is 8.16. I've had all kinds of trouble with a Vengeance 8GB 1866C9 kit on both the P67 and Z68 boards. Myself, Asrock, and Corsair are trying to get to the bottom of the issue as I type. We are waiting on the kits to arrive from Corsair and I will probably be sending my kit to Asrock as well. In the meantime if you can replace the Vengeance sticks with some memory from G.Skill and see if the problem persists it would be most helpful. There is also a new UEFI for the Z68 Extreme4 you could try, UEFI 1.7. It supports newer XMP profiles so might help.Quote:

The Extreme4/7 boards have two sets of mounting holes, one for 1155, the other for 775 so fitting 775 coolers & blocks shouldn't be a issue.

@Ket
A new BETA BIOS has just been released but it has a lower version L1.61 than the official 1.70 released last August. My question is, does the new BETA BIOS include the fixes from 1.70?
Thanks a lot for your continuous support.
Since no-one has replied... it's a very good question--ASRock's beta UEFI numbering system is confusing at best. They have newer dates and newer, unlisted features compared to the last official releases, but older version numbers. Virtually everyone else in the industry uses newer/higher numbers to reflect consistency with newer content, even with betas. I'm not a fan of Dell by any means, but they are at least logical enough to bump their beta BIOS/UEFIs to higher numbers.
So to answer your question, yes--the betas should include the fixes in 1.70, but why ASRock insists on stamping old version numbers on new content (even if it is beta content) is beyond me.
Beta UEFIs, AFAIK, are older than the official releases. Example;
Latest BETA UEFI I know of:
UEFI 1.6E - Adds Intel 11.0.0.1124 Raid Rom
Official UEFI
1.6 - Update RAID ROM
Latest official UEFI:
1.7 - Support XMP 1.3
In other words, UEFI 1.7 has both the updated RAID ROM and XMP 1.3 support, but 1.6E only has the updated RAID ROM.
Hellooo there... Mr. Ket :yepp:, if you would be so kind as to give me some help here --> http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...Extreme4-2600K it would be so ever greatly appreciated :-)
Don't panic people I'm aware of the megaupload issue. Links will be up again when I've finished rebuilding all my archives >.<
All links are now live again.
Sweet, DL'ing now :D
Let me know how your OC adventures go :up:
Been wondering, what dpc does people have? - and which settings and setups ofcourse, maybe it'll bring some life back to the thread aswell :]
Uhh... do you mean DPC latency? Thats a soundcard thing youknow.. :p:
Oh i know, just asking cause mine is hovering at 50-120 when doing nothing, but it can go to 500~ when playing videos or listening to music while browsing, But im just going to blame that on nvidia drivers, seems to be the one that jumps up each time :\
DPC latency can be reduced on the driver level. One example of this is with the Xonar cards. Stock drivers have DPC latency hover around 200, if you use unixonar drivers though that latency can be reduced to around 80.
Aye, im using the modded Xonar drivers for my DX aswell, using the C-media version from CarvedInside
Is there any word from AsRock whether this mobo will get support for IvyBridge CPUs?
of course it does.
so i suppose they will release the updated bios when ivybridge is released.Quote:

This is the latest UEFI I know of for the Z68 E4: UEFI L1.60K, dated March 5, 2012.
we shall see in a few weeks then. either way, the high temps of IvyBridge chips when overclocked is pulling me back from IvyBridge. will be keeping the SB most probably.Quote:

There will be no IB die shrink. Next stop is LGA 1150 and Haswell 22nm.
A IB revision then. A lot is floating around about poor IB yields, no doubt the troublesome 22nm process will be refined with a couple new steppings and by then a IB chip would likely be well worth looking at. Sort the apparent leakage problems out and suddenly IB looks like a completely different chip.
I would think it would be in Intels benefit to revise those damn Ivy's sooner or later.....if what we have seen so far happens to all the new ones being released. It aint gonna be a big seller of a chip , because you can cook your breakfast on and heat your house at the same time with it. IF they sell these new ivy's and they perform the way the early released cpu's ( not sure where they came from )......I honestly don't see them being a big seller at all. In fact if I owned a 2500K , 2600K or a 2700K.....sold it off for anticipation for Ivy.....I'd be pissed right about now.
Its inevitable there will be new steppings and revisions. Personally, once intel knew about the prblematic yields it would of made sence to stick with 32nm and release a 22nm Ivy once the problems get ironed out. Ivy would be in somewhat of a better light if intel did that I reckon. Anyway, this thread isn't really for IB talk, not until we know if IB will be supported on the Z68 anyway. Until then IB talk can be continued in this Z77 Extreme 4 & Extreme6 thread ;)
Ket, is there a way to load the different OC profiles from within Windows?
eXtreme Tuner only allows you to overclock manually, not load a profile. (the profiles shown in OC DNA section)
I don't think there is. This is mainly because even if you could dynamically load a profile from OC DNA you would still need to restart for some settings to take effect.
that's a shame. i would like to have it run at stock or at a mild overclock when doing general stuff, and load up a higher OC profile when gaming or video encoding stuff or if there is a specific need. Rebooting every time is not an option. Oh well... I wonder if tuning apps from other manufacturers offer this feature.
Thats what intel speedstep is for :p: Left enabled most of your OC won't "kick in" until the CPU comes under heavy load.
Beta L2.0x UEFI BIOS are now hosted under the respective beta zone downloads of each LGA1155 mobo for 22nm Ivy support.
HTH
Ahh well it seems my contacts got the go-ahead from intel. I'm glad intel aren't pulling their usual stunt and forcing everybody to change their mobos this time around.
For anyone that hasn't tried it yet here are some screenshots of beta UEFI 2.02. Its not necessary to do so but to ensure I had a completely clean flash I first downgraded to UEFI 1.1 through pure DOS, then used instant update to upgrade to UEFI 2.02. I'm only running stock atm while I test stability but certainly I've already noticed very slick boot times and lots of new options within the UEFI itself ;)
For anyone wondering about OC potential with UEFI 2.02 see the screenshot.
My thoughts on UEFI 2.02:
Ok, consider this a conclusion as I've extensively used every other (official and beta) UEFI for the Z68 Extreme4.
Overclocking: Wonderful. With all previous UEFIs booting into Windows @ 5GHz was simply impossible, with this beta 2.02 I can boot into Windows @ 5GHz with 1.5v. I haven't tried higher frequencies at 1.5v or lower voltage @ 5GHz but the results are testimony to themselves. The new beta UEFI simply does magical stuff for overclocking.
Other things I've noticed is that boot times are very slick and fast indeed, if fact the whole operation of the system is significantly slicker. Top stuff indeed. There are also lots of new options in the UEFI to play with, some of which you can see from the screenshots I posted yesterday.
Bottom Line: Would I recommend users to flash to this UEFI? Absolutely. Its fast, stable, system operation is very slick indeed, theres new options to play with in the UEFI, overclocking is exceptional and there are no bugs I've found thus far. Well worth trying.
Could you get per core overclocking thing working? Mine wouldn't go above the one set for 4 cores. Tries 45,46,47,48 for each utilization and tried LinX with one core. Also when I set this in UEFI it would show a weird CPU clock when POSTing.
One more thing. Does Intel Rapid Start work? I could not install the intel driver (tried the one for z77 extreme4 board and the one from intel itself.)
I haven't tested all the features yet. I did downgrade to UEFI 1.1 through pure DOS then flashed to 2.02 through instant update though. The idea behind that was to get as "clean" of a flash as possible as so much is different in this UEFI.
let us know when you have. :)Quote:

I may not get chance to fully test L2.02 as soon as I thought, a Z77 Extreme6 is on its way ;) I've found with the time I have been using L2.02 that both cold and warm boot are fast for me, but I disable all the stuff I don't use in the UEFI so that probably speeds things up. To date though I haven't had any problems with L2.02 at all, I'd say 2.02 is more stable than any other UEFI and thats simply incredible as 95%+ of the UEFIs for the Z68 E4 (betas included) have been exceptionally stable. All I want now is for the Z77 to improve on my OC of 4.7GHz @ 1.4v :D being able to run 9-9-9-25 1N timings @ 1866 on the Z77 would be nice too. CL10 @ 1866 doesn't sit with me right.

Excellent. I'll update the Z68 E4 to it but I won't have chance to test it for a while, I'm fast running out of room in my test environment with 5 PCs up.
Ive got lots of room, just send me all the stuff you dont want anymore! :yepp:
was playing with the OC settings.
managed to get 4.5GHz stable at 1.312~1.320V (in CPU-Z) at full load using no LLC. with LLC, i would get idle BSODs at that Vcore. also running all power saving features and offset volts. also using lowest PLL Voltage (1.586V) without any issues. Everything else at AUTO.
Lucid Virtu driver is installing as Trial for me (in about page it shows as 30-day trial). I believe it is after this UEFI update. Wondering if it broke the Lucid license. Can someone confirm?
I wonder if I should install Lucid MVP now.
Any word on when ASRock will release a new non-beta bios update?
Ask the fairies or use the current beta version.
Right, i called the fairies and used some ancient voodoo, Also i sacrificed some imaginary fluffykins to the raccoon who lives down the street called GlubglubhitswithclubsQuote:

It was a good purchase, I didn't spend very much and my build times in visual studio improved a lot.
Right now I'm running windows8 x64 Release Preview and I have a problem with the disk performance. I don't think that the SSD cache is working at all. I have the 2.05 beta bios from Asrock, the first days I got a lot of crashes, I think due to not having Intel Management Engine installed. The bios is configured plain stock. I have just a regular 1.5TB drive and the 60GB SSD as cache in maximized mode.
The performance appears to be the same if I disable Intel Smart Response Technology cache. My Intel RST version is 11.1.0.1006. I have seen there are some win8 drivers for the raid controller that you can load in the windows installer but I am not able to install this drivers right now with windows already running.
Any Ideas?
Thanks.
After some days I must conclude that Windows 8 CP is not stable on my system. I have disabled the intel raid controller in the bios and used the marvell in IDE and the system freezes or crashes randomly too. Windows 7 is working perfectly on another partition right now so this is not about the bios at all, it is about win8/bios/drivers.Quote:

Win8 is still experimental (and crap as a whole), you wern't seriously expecting everything to be perfect with everything ironed out were you :hm: Issues such as that are inevitable with experimental software, its incomplete and unpolished. It would of been a much wiser idea to use what is polised and refined, namely, a 64 bit version of Win7.
Hehe, yeah I know. The problem here is that i really need to use win8. I need to migrate a visual studio 2010 project to visual studio 2012 / Windows SDK 8, D3D11.1. And to test the graphics properly I need to be natively in windows8, I can't even use a VM :(
