Can I ask - any real advantage in updating to this from standard 1802 bios, and presumably if I do I will have to re enter my overclock settings again? Thanks for your efforts here though - appreciated.

the bios helps with all the internal devices network adapter sata controllers for performance and fixes. I always recommend you do a full bios cmos reset on bios update so yes you would have to put all oc settings again , but with this board you can take bios screen shot for future refrence

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and info. Think I will give this a go - seems it will be worthwhile.

Cheers

Hi guys has anyone got any ideas
i am running an asus maximus formula v1 z87 m/b
16 gig 2400 trident x memory
revodrive 480
and a 4470k z87 cpu
useing adaptive mode and putting in the correct peramiters
i cannot get the cpu to clock or power down in idle which it should
constantly running at 4.6 x 2400 men at 1.250 even at idle
any help would br great thanks mal1954

[Raja@ASUS]

Check SpeedStep and C1E is enabled in UEFI and also check Windows power options. If the Windows power options profile is set to high performance, the processor will not go into low power state.

I've had similar issues on a different platform.
My method of a fix is the same as Raja's, except that I use the high performance power management profile in windows.
And customize it.

Power Options CPL -> Change plan settings (click on the one that matches the profile you're using).
A new window pops up and now goto Processor power management -> Minimum processor state.
In this setting it's a %, set it to 0%.
If already at 0, then set at something else and then back to 0%... (I've had to do this in certain cases it seemed)
No reboot needed, it should idle within a min..


IF that doesn't fix it right away ...
Then you'll have to check the device manager.
I found that if you gut the cpu driver out of the services in the registry, it won't idle anymore (del'ing the service but not the classes).
In which case all I needed to do was del what remained of them in the device manager (in my case 6 of them), and restart windows.
After that it would reinstall them automatically (the driver comes with windows...), and then I would redo the power management setting, just the one.
While checking with hwinfo32, I see the vcore idle down.
Hwmonitor is another option for checking.
Or whatever you use to check it.

That should work on most cases, because that's all there is.
The bios settings, and then the windows driver and power management idle setting.
It's really down to that one power management setting under the change plans settings section.

is there any better(faster) memory ram?....or is it worth keep using this ram..I have CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 DRAM 2400MHz (CMD16GX3M4A2400C9)
cpu i7 3770K
asus maximus formula V
gtx 680 sc 2gb
Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD
monitor YAMAKASI 30 inch 2560x1600
custom watercooling loop
Im not sure if memory Im bought.. is good for my system.
Im using pc for games ..battlefield 4 and internet.
Also...which is the best bios for maximus formula V ?

[Shiranui Gen-An]

Dominator Platinum 2400C9 RAM is excellent memory and can overclock well; those should be able to do 2600 or 2666 Cas 10 easily with 1.65-1.75v.

ok..can you give some instructions..how to overclock in bios?which setting

[Red Maw]

I can't seem to find the CPU PLL voltage setting anywhere in the BIOS, can anyone tell me where it is?

[Gaul]

I try the 1707 mod in kinping cooling really have good performance without any bug

Modded bios 1707 - http://rghost.net/46124291

Sata Orom - v. 12.6.0.1867
EFI/FFS SataDriver - v. 12.6.0.1867
Intel Sandybridge/Ivybridge BIOS - v. 2158 PC 14.34
EFI/FFS GOP IntelIvbGopDriver - v. 3.0.1023
EFI/FFS GOP IntelSabGopDriver - v. 3.0.1024
Intel LAN PXE - v. 1.5.04
EFI/FFS IntelGigabitLanX64 - v. 5.6.10
MEI firmware - v. 8.1.30.1350 (FB will not flash it. Use FTK tool for flashing whole bios with MEI firmware embedded)
PowerManagement patch (for correct AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext working. No any effects for non OSX).

Flash with ROG flashback procedure (USB flash drive + pressing the button), to avoid "security verification" warning. Or use FTK tool.
Don't blame me if anything goes wrong, everything you are doing with modded BIOSes always will be at your own risk.

Posting in this thread, since I get no reply in the other Z77 thread.

Is it a problem to run a 7970 + 280x in crossfire on the ASUS Maximus V Extreme, when it comes to spacing and heat?

With my overclocked (normally stable) machine, from time to time I have sudden shutdowns (maybe 1 every 15-20 hours or so of usage), can happen even if the machine is idle. Need to remove power to get it to boot again, and reload OC profile. As far as I know this has started the last few months or so, can not remember it happened first half a year or more. Machine is just over 1 year old. I am NOT running latest bios. Anyone else have had this happen?

And if I need to update bios, should I go for is the latest 1903?

[JH_man]

The machine (1,5 years old):
ASUS Maximus V Extreme 1155 (default bios, 1408 or what it is called, want to update this to newest)
Kingston DDR3 HyperX Beast 16GB 2400MHz 2x8GB KIT CL11 HyperX Beast (KHX24C11T3K2/16X)
Samsung SSD 840 PRO Series 512GB
Intel Core i7-3770K
Corsair H80i Hydro Series cooler with 2 Corsair AF120 Performance 120mm fans in push+pull (default ones swaped out)
Corsair Obsidian 550D Midi Tower with Corsair AF140 Quiet Edition 140mm in the side door
Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 (will move to 2 x 970 SLI in a few days)
ASUS BC-12B1ST, BD-Reader/DVD-Writer
Windows 7 Pro 64bit

I am wondering if someone can post me a safe/stable setup for a good OC. I have run for 3,9 hgz OC the whole time, but this is not more then turbo mode normally, and since I am wondering about updating the BIOS I have to redo the whole thing, so I am wondering about a good OC to go for. I am not technical enough to know what all the settings are, and how to best reach a stable OC.

Would be super if you guys could help out here...

[JH_man]

I need help!

I got 2 nvidia 970 Asus Strix cards and put them in the 2 top 16x pci slots (as the manual says), run them in SLI, the problem is the top card is not getting enough air (the space between the cards are just a couple millimeters) in a game like Metro Last Light, and the fan is spinning up like crazy and the exhaust is almost too hot to touch.

Can I put the second card in one of the other 8x pci slots? Does it matter?

Edit:
I think the manual is miss-leading, I think I am meant to use the 1st and 3rd pci slots, for 2way sli, NOT the 1st and 2nd slots.

Page 6-7 says use the 2 16x slots, which is the 1st and 2nd pci slots.
Page 1-26 shows usage of 1st and 3rd pci slots.
