I just found out that Corsair Dominator 2000C9 8GB memory (4GBx2) is not compatible with M4E. I kept having stoppage in Prime95 even at stock and I switched to Vengeance 8GB (4GBx2) and it's running fine now.

here u go:

Thanks a lot! Hey, before I flash mine, does it OC any better than 1101, same, or worse? Any known issues fixed by this version?

What CPU cooler are you using?

you can't be scared when you have a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty batch:rofl:

I have a 2500k that needs 1.46 for 4.8 for complete stability, it is epic fail on many levels:down:

I too have noticed increased instability when vccio is higher than 1.1 on most of my cpu's so you are definitely not the only one

whats the deal with how long this board takes to boot XP! It scrolls like 5 times before it loads ftl

It was probably a failed flash and BIOS was recovered. What program did you to use to flash? I use EZ Flash (98% of the time ) within the BIOS to do all my flash jobs...

Does anyone know why there isn't an Offset option for vcore on the M4E? It's set to Manual but it's also grayed out so I can't pick it. Maybe there is a back-door way, but I don't really know.

Can someone help me getting past the freeze at Windows 7 startup? It freezes at the time Window logo (four-color logo coming together). It only does this when I choose 51x or higher. Also, can someone give a rundown of the settings in the EFI BIOS so I can duplicate? Sorry to sound so newbie. Thanks....

LMAO....happens on my board too.
It's probably initializing something.

That also happened on my P5WDH.

It's not reading from the HDD during that time, right?

Try enabling CPU PLL Overvoltage

I just got XP running on it and I noticed the same thing too, the rog splash screen appears and then reappears three times before it boots XP.

so my efficiency blows hard on 32m, I am pretty sure it is the secondary timings.

That has always been Enabled when I do any OCing. Still no luck. Anything else I may have missed?

Under Digi + VRM (click on it, another screen pops up), what kind of setting to use for that whole screen top to bottom? It's somewhat different than the Pro and Deluxe.

What kind of settings do you set under Skew Driving Voltage and others under that section heading? Or the four lines under DRAM Voltage?

That splash screen, I think you can change something under Boot EFI BIOS to not do that. On Option ROM Message, if you change it from Force BIOS to Keep Current, you may be able to get rid of it.

Something that may shed some lights to you OCing experts out there is this: On when the PC is about to freeze after the logo, my HD LED becomes solid. You know, normally the HD LED only comes on when there is HD activity. But this freeze gives my HD LED a solid ON and it will remain like that until I reset the PC. If that tells anything.

Do you mind sharing your BIOS settings? There are lots of DRAM settings that I left at Auto. Could this cause the Prime95 stoppage issue I have?

On to another topic. I know it's not a good idea to run your rig 24/7 with high vcore, but at what voltage that will actually kill a CPU right on the spot? 1.6v, 1.7v, 1.8v?

Try this.

... change the CPU Vcore phase control to 'standard' and the offset option would be available again

@MacClipper: Got it! Thanks....

Edit: Didn't even realize the M4E doesn't have any firewire ports! Wow...amazing.

I only changed the vdimm to 1,65 and set the timings like shown on the sticks so far ^^.
Didn't have that much time to test lower timings/higher frequencies
