Hello...

Did somebody already update the onboard intel sata / raid controller?

what for ? its working perfect like this on last bios

[aussie-revhead]

yeah absolutely your problem is quite common not any chip/mobo/mem is equal so maybe the mobo dont up the chip u bough so good or either chip was cooled different or maybe its a bit degraded, i had tested this on my own so im sure of what im saying

Hey brother how are you?? So what is my option? Buy another M4E and try again? Its getting to close to Ivy now so I might wait and see what happens there.

heya how are u mate, i dont think u need to waste more money i have a nice x56 but i benched it a bit and never again just use it for 24/7 5Ghz HT and love it, whats your max BCLK on your MIVE ? mine is 108 tweaking Skews

cheers
Sergio

[aussie-revhead]

I havent pushed BCLK yet as I havent needed to, I think my current rams should do 108 at 2133 ... it might give me a boost in 3D11 but SB-E owns me anyway

SB-E is too expensive here, I will stick with cheap and powerful SB then go Ivy when it comes out.

I might go back to water with these and use them more.

Are you guys happy with your M4E mobos? I bought one and prepped it for single stage fun with SB, I just received a cpu that has a 5800 validation on water and has benched 3D at 5700 but I cant duplicate the previous owners results, I had another 2600K that also did 5750 on water but I couldnt get it stable over 5500 .... so either my mobo has some underlaying issues or Im doing something very wrong .....

when setting the x57 multi make sure that you set all four cores to x57, i.e. the non adjustable in os multi option in the bios.

pm me I have a few more things to try since not all boards are equal as sergio said, but regardless we will figure it out man

[aussie-revhead]

It's cool mate, I'm blaming my motherboard and my lack of advanced tuning skills rather than your CPU

The last settings I tried went into endless part post loop so I will try again tonight (about 11 hrs from now)

I just want to see that 57x and save it as benching settings then work on rams and benching scores

good you help l0ud i tried that option u say on my MIVE with this x56 and didnt work i swear i saw this chip pass boot and show win over x57 i could never reproduced

hope you make it mates ! best of lucks

now you will have good help mate

Did you own this CPU also?

[andressergio]

Did you own this CPU also?

sorry no, im talking about my chip, i just pick it and random i got it

[aussie-revhead]

Oh lucky you, when Ivy comes out then we start the process all over again..... Looking for batch patterns and better clockers

I was Neva lucky on chips till sb showed off maybe I'm getting better luck now I hope I can do 5ghz ht on not so high volts on the new sbe stepping

[andressergio]

jesus i would never thought that would be so hard to make the 16GB 2000 9-11-9-27 1T @ 2133 9-11-9-27 1T prime stable

needed to down PLL to 1,6ish...up vcore some notches





Uploaded with ImageShack.us

low PLL was the key. this is my beloved x56 chip, but he dont like much VTT or PLL, pity that for 16GB i have like 1.45+ idle and 1.44 load

inside ma room was 24C and outside hell summer but AC not pointing to rad or pc

i repeated 2 times this test to be sure one hour each to see if its consistent, as i found that sometimes i primed passed 3 hours and then i do it again and failed on mins...

now im letting it go a bit further

cheers to all

Right guys, I'm having some problem with my board I think.

I instaled it just today and by mistake I touched the ROG heatsink around the CPU and almost burn myself. I wonder is that normal?
I then decided to use one of the temp probes that came in the box. I took one and then just placed it insidie the heatsink to see what themp it will show.


Now I was playing BF3 and as you can see there is that emergency auto-shut if it goes upto 70* set by me. It happened, it actually reached 70*C ! (no oc, idle)

It really worries me.

btw. My new system.

[FedericoUY]

By the place you have those "7970's?", you are activating nf200 chip, wich happens to be cooled just down the rog hs, and also is a warm-working chip. I strongly recomend you to use those cards in 1 and 3 pci-e, avoiding this way that chip, and most likely you'll have better performance.
BTW: Congrats, nice setup there.

[PatrickCrowely]

Just got a Maximux IV Extreme-Z with a 2600K. I'm Novice @ OC. Looking to learn, looks like a nice thread

I picked up the M4E P67 board to try this weekend. I went back to the Gigabyte Z68XP-UD5 after 3 days on this. This thing just doesnt seem to clock as well, maybe its me, or maybe i just got a bad board idk.

[xEnergie]

hey guys, just popping in to check on things. how's the latest bios for this board? i haven't flashed mine since 2001 bios and was wondering if there's been any notable upgrades. thanks!

really, that is shocking to me.

did you get a new board or a used one? I noticed that the MIVE needed much less volts than my UD7 B3, namely vccio and vccsa. Did you try running those at just a bit above stock (i.e. 1.07-1.09)

its you

even my gene-z was better than the ud7
mive takin less voltage than gene-z and gene-z takin less than gigabut

you try different memory slots
on mine all 4 clock good

[OC Nub]

LOL, it is probably me. I asked someone and it was suggested to use red slots, so that is all I tried. On the R4E you have to use red slots when only running 4 dimms or it wont boot.

Also do you use the Extreme OC Profile? On the R4E it is only used for cold.

MWave had the M4E open box for 179.00 so I grabbed it. Doesnt seem to clock as well as my giga z68 or p67 boards. Im all but done with this platform and hate to pay retail for a new board, so Ill have to make this work, or go back to the ud5.

After a couple months on the R4E, its hard to go back to using anything else. It is by far the most stable rig Ive had.

anyone know what post code 58 is? Installed 2700k on M4e and hangs at 58 code. Chip work fine on other boards.

Try rams @ the other socket

[the_real_7]

ok guys having a real tricky problem here . switched cpu from a 2600k to a 2700k and now i cant boot both memory anymore , just memory in slot 4 red if i use any other slot im getting a error 2e with diffrent sets of ram and and all if any solutions please let me know what you think , getting frustrated
