Thanks alot Sergio, i guess you tested this BIOS and its working good, (regarding oc) just one more question possible to downgrarde with 2302?

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

No i bought 2 new bios chips but settings keep I can boot at x56 np but is bclk not working

so multi sticks but bclk is not working when you set it in the bios.

fresh OS install yet?

[Martin.v.r]

after some testing, I can tell the difference between the 2 bioser 1409/3202
has a I7 2600k x56
with bios 1409, I have the x56 CPU
and whit 3202 is max x55, but then high bandwidth on my mem

So people are probably complaining because they have lost a multi-


is there a better a 1409 to oc, because with 1409, I have a problem with blck oc
when I start the PC up, start it x2 before it goes into a win when I'm fiddling with blck

Hi,
Anyone else having bclk issues after 103? Mine just stops after the windows logo screen and stalls. I have to just hit reset, trying to see if anyone else has or seen this issue. And what they did to correct it? Running bios 1004 also. Thanks

you should be reading this thread http://kingpincooling.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1041

highest i went so far was 107 and was easy

[st0ned]

Any ideias if m4e or gene-z's bios's have support for more multi changes in ivy bridge ? Some guys went around having problems with them. If they do can someone pm with a link for a more updated version ? Because I"ll have to play with one and I don't have any board support so I am a bit on the dark here

its a very good bios but the one Martin is using borked us mobo chips, OC nub destroyed both bios chips after flashing 3202 and even you can use rog his wont go over stock he cant change multi, and me i can up blck, i put 109 (wich i use to do easy) and PC wwould post and windows still showing 50x100

im mad i was so stupid to try that 3202

to downgrade u can use asus flash but if you put the crap 3202 u must use rog connect wich for sure will result on borked bios at least that was our experience

no Martin the only person that this bios worked is you for the rest of us we end really bad, so please stop saying that good as ppl will try to flash, even we did it and we are experienced, but some other ppl can read this thread and may destroy their mobo easy

keep it for you if good

3202 ruined my both bios chips or something else, the same happened to OC nub

I have been thinking about flashing it as that is bios that is required for Ivy support I believe, but man both you and OC Nub have me scared to do so, but I figure I can just RMA the board if it is flaky afterwards.

however this makes me feel a bit better:

P67 3*** updates are in validation phase at present. When the builds are ready we will post them up.

IVY is supported on 2302, the 3202 was the problem l0ud i recommend for all the ppl here new or old that STAY AWAY for it...cost me 2 chips that didnt arrive yet and dunno if that will solve the problem or something was damaged whatever...my old x56 use to do 108x56 easy this new x56 do 109x and none will boot at that anymore after the damn 3202, i just can do it inside windows...with AI SUITE

Hopefully you wont have the same problem.

I hope to be done with p67/z68 in a week or so. Im going to try the M5G very soon, judging by the threads, it seems to be a very nice board. Showed up at the NewEgg today for $209.00, very reasonable IMO.

Dust up your old 2GB PSCs and have fun

Its the best board so far

[OC Nub]

^ Cant wait to give it a try!

Got a few kits ready to go, cant wait to see 2600+

Just bought one thank you for the heads up sir

I have so much memory to test (Hypers, really good PSC, BBSE, Samsung 30nm, and Hynix) and after seeing the memory tweaking page on the bios, I must haz

Now just to find a 3770K in Tajikestan

[m4gg0t]

So, i should only be using BIOS 2302.

[rintamarotta]

Took half year old Maximus IV Extreme-Z out of closet and...
I hate this donkey gonkey board.. Intel Core i7 2600k @ 5ghz 1.375v (50x100) boots windows and is LinX/IBT and Prime64 stable for 24hours, yet it refuces to boot into windows with 1.5v and 51x, 52x, 53x, 54x, 55x and 56x, it goes bios fine with all of those multipliers.
Cooling aint problem since its LittleDevil PC-V10 case with phase unit.

Guess i will be checking out older bioses.

[moorhen2]

"Internal PLL overvoltage enabled"????

[rintamarotta]

Yes, Internal PLL Overvoltage is Enabled.
I just flashed bios from 27 December 2011, hopefully its working better than 0210 and 3203.

Ill take shots from bios settings.

EDIT :
Bumped up BCLK to 100.5 (boots into bios even with 110 bclk), Boot into Windows, within 10seconds of opening CPU-Z it threw BSOD 0x1E.
I went and increased vCore from 1.375 to 1.425 witch resulted to BSOD 0x124 (VTT or vCore too high or low)

Screenshots taken before increasing BCLK to 100.5

No idea why it doesnt work 5025Mhz when it does work with 5000Mhz and even significantly lower voltage.
Something fishy going on with this Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z, maybe could be something related to ACHI or Graphics problems since it should change to login screen of windows exactly same moment when it crashes.

I also flashed to the 3202 bios and it killed one of my bios chips. Board runs fine on the second bios chip. I bought a new MIVE bios chip which arrived last week but I haven't installed it yet. Will do it tonight or tomorrow and report back if putting a new bios chip in fixes the issue that 3202 caused.

Just been to busy playing with SB-E and Rampage IV Gene.

[rintamarotta]

My bowth bios chips are functional and 3202 flash didnt kill the first bios chip, so im good with it.

EDIT: Received BSOD 0x9C, will be lowering VTT and checking out if it helps since its allready at 1.2v and i dont want to go higer.

[Counter CS]

Well, i am playing with my M4E P67 B3 + BIOS 3202 + i7 3770K... 2200mhz is possible.

Trying to boot with 2400mhz but in 5min its hard to say if its or not possible.
