Hi rusty, at stock timings 15-15-15-35 1.350v's, at 12-14-16-15 1.65v's.

Hynix-MFR, new to this platform, just started tweaking things slowly. 1.35V

Tighter timings, 1.65v...

Just had a nice surprise from my lovely Wife, a great birthday present I must say. Guess what I'm up to this weekend, lol.:)

Is this board going to be available in the UK, the etailers I use never stocked the Z97 OC Formula, so I'm not holding out much hope for the X99 OC Formula.:confused:

Why only 2c 2t, ???

Nice man.:)

No problem Nick, thanks for the quick response, we know your a busy man.:up:

Just tried flashing to the Z87 OCF/AC bios 1.90.rar and keep getting message "Secure Flash Check Fail" and then my computer locks up, any ideas ??

Corsair Dominator GT 1600 C6, Elpida Hypers, going to see what they can go up to, @2000mhz 1.8v, using the "Elpida Hyper" preset in bios.
...

Well according to the ASrock website, no mention of the Z97 OC FORMULA, but there is an Z97M OC FORMULA, very confusing.

Now at 2400 @ 1.65v, everything else @ stock, looking good for now.

Using the "PSC normal 1.65v" pre-set in bios, seems to help, taking cpu ratio and uncore out of the equation for the time being. 2200 @ 1.65v as a starting point.
...

Hi msimax, not been able to boot @ 2666, If I remember I could boot @ 2600 one time, but not even managed that since, lol, that was using the the 2600 pre-set in the bios, 1.92v tight if I...

Tinkering with bclk straps now, should be interesting, lol, I am determined to get this PSC to pass 32m @2666, slowly getting there.
...

Formula = 1.90
Formula/ac =1.80

vdimm 1.92v, vtt ???, told you I am a noob, I am sure we have the same 2000 cl8 kits,??

Edit, sorry, what a noob, vtt = 0.909v

2668mhz, not bad, SuperPI boms out though, "not exact in round", told you I am a noob at this memory overclocking malarky.

It looks like you have a set of 1866 Elpida's, the Newegg ones are Hynix ic's.

Think this chip has a strong IMC, so should be able to tinker with my ram, still learning though, lol:up:

@msimax, thanks bud, what a great board, we are both learners on this board then. :up:

Almost like for like, apart from the odd couple of settings, but getting there, lol!!

Just thrown in a pair of Crucial Ballistix Sport 1600 cl9, Micron D9's I believe, stock voltage 1.5v, gave them 1.65v for this.

Just a quick one from me. Having trouble passing SuperPI @2600, but 2400 not so bad.

Managed this today, had these Dominator GT's 2000 cl8 for a few years now, thought I would see what they are capable of doing on this fantastic board, not bad me thinks. Never really been into Ram...

It doesn't matter mate, I have mine WC'D, just depends on your loop as to which is in or out.:)

My bad, wrong board.lol, but same applies, makes no difference.:)
