Picking up a 965 EE ... what BIOS you think I would get the most out of this chip with?
ya i know i just figured i'd go for it but it doesn't seem like it's gonna work for a daily setup. defference between 933 and 1000 is hardly measureable let alone noticable anyway...
i still can't seem to figure out why LinX wont ever to a 20 pass run, keeps stoping after the first pass even on 100% stock clockings and everything is in tip top shape. would be nice to to show off the 78-80 Gflops out of 20 passes since it keeps registering 81-82 Gflops on the single pass.
Hi All.....

here's a working one

As a new member to this fraternity I'll be adding my 2 cents. So far did one quick oc last night, 200x20 @ 4ghz, watercooled @ 1.4v, plenty of room to go in my 930 I'm sure. Mem @ 1600. I know it's nothing astounding but I'll be reading up in here and getting to it tonight. I'd like to see a stable 4.5ghz out of this chip.
I tested REX3 new BIOS "0901", today.
I think that "0901" is much faster than "9124" on Air.:up:
Especially, 3DMark 06 CPU test score is improved!!
Test results reported on my blog.
"Overclocking Memo"
Tomorrow, I will test this new BIOS on LN2.
I hope, it will improve extreme cooling limit temp.:D
So... what are the changes?
You can hit 4.5 with the 930 on water no problem. I don't remember what the magic number was exactly but I think it was 21x187, replying to this on my phone so I don't have the settings I used infront of me.
EDIT: make that 21x215, the closest image i have of a clocking near that point was 21x210 @ 1.38v (4.4ghz) on water and was at an average of 69*c at full load for my 930.
Any feedback on the new bios versions and LN2? I've been rockin 704 and I love it, so no need to change unless you guys think its better in some way. :)
Alot of problems with reading main cpu temp, cores never had the problem.
They fixed it, need more info...

the latest BIOS i see on the DL at ASUS is the 0802 I just flashed to that one ... is it gonna treat me right?

This is the fastest I can get this to run. I'm hitting a BCLK wall at 216 with memory turned up then I have to thumb down the memory to get it to 218. I can't get it higher than 218 for now :-(
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this thing to run any faster ? Whats the max volts under water I can put to a 920 DO with blowing it up ?
Its probably not your chip, these boards are no better than average at best for bloomfield (welcome to the "I just wasted $400.00" club) unless you use slowmode. For gulftowm they are very good though.
0901 appears better for my 920. Now I can do super pi 1m in an air-cooled close case system.

Is it normal for this board to have IOH Temps from 70 when doing absolutely nothing?!
Should I take the Chipset cooler of and re-apply a new layer of artic silver 5 instead of the Factory compound?
or just rma the board?
I also installed the optional little cooling block with the fan but it doesn't help....
Hello there to all.
Is it ok to have this setup for 24/7 or i have to low vcore/qpi to avoid degrate my i7-960.
Thanks in advance.
