awesome..this place rocks
What exactly is happening and a hardware list would be helpful for this build, I have a Xtreme4 on water that runs rather well at all different speeds.
I just need some known good bios settings as a guide, I haven't installed this board yet,although my p67 extreme 4 is running single channel only on my memory because I changed my cpu cooler to a thermalright silver arrow sb-e and some pins got bent it still plays bf4 at 50+ fps with my gtx 780. that being said im dreading all the crap of installing the board..dealing with a bios update..hopefully my hard drive will just plug and play and I wont have to reformat and loose all my programs and stuff. thanks for the reply
OK my extreme4 currently has a Sandy 2700K on water running at just under 5500. For perhaps 5G I would start by setting CPU to fixed v at around 1.4+, set load line to level 1, IGPU voltage and load line leave in auto, Dram to whatever you run around 1.7v, VTT 1.41v,PCH 1.059v,CPU PLL 1.80v,VCCSA 0.925v. See what this will do for starters, these numbers could be higher or lower depending on aton of variables but should get you up for initial testing. This board runs sweet with Sandy and can push them to the limits. It has a pretty solid bios that so far is holding up, version P2.90, again without knowing your exact hardware this is just a rough profile.
awesome..thanks so much
board installed, didn't update bios because I think it has 2.90 already. there is a sticker on the board that says asrock extreme 4 2.90 on it somewhere near the bottom. anyways booted right to windows going from p67 extreme 4 to this board...only had to find a few drivers..also in device manager it has a yellow exclamation sign next to sm bus controller and usb controller, so I need to find the drivers for those. I disabled internal pll and a few other settings and just set my cpu to fixed 1.375 and put it to 4.6..oh and load line level to 3. running good so far..thanks
Grab there drivers right from there site which is good, glad everything is working out good.
so I fixed the sm bus issue..all devices are working...tried to set the cpu(i2500k) to 4.8 but it keeps crashing in bf4...screen freezes
What is the cooling? and if it's good increase CPU PLL to 1.840 and up the CPU vcore two.
I have a thermalright silver arrow sb-e...awesome cooler. thanks ill give that a try..thanks
Using the Xtreme4, really nice board. If You don't plan to deal with LN2 it's a good choice for low bucks.
Never had a problem with stability:
So now I will wait for BROADWELL - another delay now really sucks- and buy a Z97 Xtreme4.
If nothing works nomore......:
Might be interesting for all non "k" users - can boot up to 107.5 BCKL:
This is not bad for a maintream series board.............
OK - now some critical words from my side. Just noticed the discussion in this thread started by DjLeco about poor mem performance.
And yes - I can confirm.
Tried three 3570k CPUs and two different RAM kits (G-SKILL GTXD 2400CL9 & Kingston HyperX Predator 2666CL11).
Now way to boot more than 1300MHz. Tried all possible settings and also tried to raise VTT & VCCSA. No way..........
So it is indeed something with the board, it's not caused by mem controller or RAM.
Maybe the BIOS is faulty and - by the time - way too old. About 1 year no BIOS update - still 2.90 the latest.
I don't want to blame the board at all - it offers a nice performance but the limitation in mem frequency is annoying.
BTW - anyone out there can boot up this board in DDR3-2666 config ??? Anyone ??? Settings ???
this mobo can't touch 2666, max 2600Originally Posted by camouflage
That's what I suspected
So maybe I have to change the board to test my TridentX 2400CL9 up to the max.
Hm, I just wonder why the promoted mem speed on AsRock Homepage sounds to me like a LIEthis mobo can't touch 2666, max 2600:

so I bought a 2nd gtx 780sc to match the one I have. I put it in the second slot,hooked power to it,put the sli bridge on and it gets to the asrock splash screen,then loops back..wont boot to windows. I swapped cards,both boot by themselves in the 1st and 2nd slot to windows. I have a 1200 watt Silverstone strider

I have an asrock z77 extreme 4... bios 2.9( the latest and it was sent this way..cant go back)
16 gb of gskill 1600 ram
2500k cpu at 4.6
win 7 64 bit ultimate
2x gtx 780 sc 03g-p4-2784-kr
funny thing is this...even if I put a card in the second slot without the sli bridge or the power cords to it from the psu..it still wont boot.
I can get into bios..i have reset it when im in the bios to default and I also reset it from the cmos switch in the back by the I/O panel portion of the board
thanks for any ideas in advance

nothing huh? not one single reply or idea?
is there something in the bios i need to set before installing an sli config to get it to boot?
I figured it out..this forum is awesome,thanks for the replies and help...that and the awesome admins like stevil, great place u got here
