**[OFFICIAL]** Asrock Z77 OC Formula Overclocking / troubleshooting/ Discussion

[nickshih]

Nice run

How high you can go with 2X4GB?

Willl try soon .. I think it will be the same ....

They are 2GB dimms, so maybe 4X2GB?

I have never seen Hynix at those clocks on 2GB dimms.

Especially doing Hyperpi32M ..... I just want to try something new ... CPUZ is boring..

[batlecryawesome]

Id like to try that board. I just posted after nick. cool.

[Splave]

forgot to post this one, nicks cpu and my lightning 580 combine forces at ASROCK HQ



not bad for use x79 moa hard drive xp install XD nature is run at 1400/1300. will have to revisit this proper when I find a better chip.

[Splave]

here is avexir 2666 cas11 2x2gb, pretty nice XD this imc wont run over 2740 must keep searching. These sticks have so much more to give.
check out the subtimings.



not bad for single sided at all.






damn you newegg charge card, will order some more 3770ks and hopefully one has a proper imc or frequency because I know im not nearly lucky enough for both.

[ZenEffect]

dude, stop buying it from newegg. go local and abuse the crap out of their return / exchange policy. this is Amurrica!

[flesheatinvirus]

I think I might just grab some avexir, they make some nice sticks for sure.

I live in a retail store dead zone man and tax is a killer :P does bestbuy carry them?

[Vladutz20]

Some 3D results. Air cooling. VGA 7970Ghz Edition Sapphire VaporX. 4.9Ghz is the highest frequency for my cpu under air cooling.

[xdan]

Nice results Vlad !
Later in the winter on lower ambient temperature, 5ghz will be posible on cpu.

what is your zip? they have it in their online store with store pickup availability, but it asks for the zip code.

you can also inquire if they price match. if they do, its worth the tax because you can keep return/exchange... and alot faster... with no shipping cost. 10.25% tax here btw... even from newegg since they are based in cali.

[Dumo]

Imo, Neweeg batches from NJ warehouse still around 3224~3226 which odd is 1:4 for 2933+ imc..waiting for 3228 and up and not even focus on high Mhz core yet.

[Splave]

Sold some old stuff. Got 5 more to try. Damn you over clocking!

[Vladutz20]

How about a data base with different IC using 1.15g bios. Let's use AIDA64 or SPI 1MB or 32MB ?
Let's see the difference between different IC.

[overclock]

I will receive my motherbard tomorrow or Wednesday the later. What is the latest bios ? On Asrock waebsite, I see Z77OCF1.40 and in this topic Z77OCF1.15G.

[Vivi]

lol splave 5 cpu's!

The other day i managed to buy a cpu, hairdry-open the pacakge, test it, junk, put it back and returned for no charge. FTW

1.40 is the latest official bios.
1.15G is the latest beta bios.

1.15G is better

[overclock]

OK, thank you.

Awesome haha

I received the motherboard on Tuesday and it is impressive : my 2600K watercooled reaches 4900 Mhz at 1.365 V and 5000 Mhz at 1.395 V 1 h OCCT stable. For comparison, the same CPU with the same cooling on an ASUS Sabertooth Z77 reached 4700 Mhz at 1.375 V. So I am very satisfied.

Nevertheless, I noticed that my case power and reset buttons LEDs don't light anymore at 5000 Mhz. At 4900 Mhz, no problem. A BIOS bug ?

Moreover, I would like to see these 2 improvements in the next future Asrock motherboard :
- SATA ports level with the motherboard edge : indeed, on this motherboard, there is a small space between the SATA ports and the edge so that I have difficulty to plug and unplug angled SATA cables.
- 1/4'' watercooling threads instead of embedded nozzles : I was not able to watercool the mosfets because I use 3/4'' inner tubing.

[Vivi]

nice overclock overclock.

Thats weird! that your lights sitch off at 5ghz. Must be an OC warning sign

yea i heard alot of watercoolers not liking the fixed threads. Im sure asrock got the message .

This board OC's cpu's really well. You can't go wrong with it

Heloo
My solution for connector
First small piece of 10mm tubing then 13mm and smal Tube Clamps for strong attachment.

New bios and Tools update

Z77 oc formula beta Bios L1.42A , added lots windows8 function support , Fixed some issues of keyboard mouse compatibility .

Z87 oc formula will fix it !!
