***Offical ASRock z97 OC Formula Thread - Tips / Discussion / BIOS / Tools***

[Alex-Ro]

I want this garbage then,no sign in Romania yet.Maybe i should repeat nick the magic word

I've never seen a board to clock so easy samsungs+psc like z87 formula and z97 formula seems even better,can't wait to try it.

seems like high quality components to me

[bullant]

Sorry double post,i was so excited

[bullant]

So it was time to buy a new cpu,my old cpu had a wounded imc ,cpu would not boot on air 2600mhz psc it needed cold on the cpu.Now this new cpu boot with cpu on air 2720+ low volts,did I say this board was awesome
opps see I was excited two memory tabs lol ,its a Z97 OCF

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

Great IMC Bully, seems a lot of the newer Haswell's are coming with nicer IMC's (core is another story)

[bullant]

Yeah core is junk,imc is great compared to what I've been using

Nickshih - 5:54:812 - 39x128 - 1410 MHz - 6-10-6-21-64-1 - ASRock Z97 OCF - G.Skill 2000 C6 PI 2x2GB/PSC - 2.3v - LN2/LN2

Seems that 2000 C6 kits all good under cold with KO8155 PCB . 2800 CL6 easy on Z97 OCF

Allen's OS is too fast . unstable with big waza .

[nickshih]

why this board is more cheap than Z87 OC formula??


low quality componentes?? or what??

rip some feature no need . make cost lower

But overclocking ability is better as you seen now .

Mobo will be in stock soon .The Vietnam issue effect lots .

[bullant]

Crazy freq and time Nick

[Splave]

what is the Vietnam issue?

[nickshih]

what is the Vietnam issue?

can i post link here ?

[rivaldokfc]

pls tell us the z97 ocf launch date。。

[cstkl1]

tRDRD 4... insane.. ppl.

[psychopath]

i will buy one asrock z97 oc formula + i5 4690K for me

I use asus motherbords at more than 10 years.. this time i will try an asrock!

this mobo looks very nice and nice price!


but no mobo avaliable and no cpu avaliable yet! :<


why is so importante big overclock in memorys ?? i only care with cpu overclock




I have memories 8GB Samsung and I use 2133mhz @ 10 10 10 27 1.45v


in chip Z77 this memory not stable at more than 2133mhz... (or maybe I am very noob)

[psychopath]

in asrock bios can I select fixed voltage to the fan conectores??

example

conector FAN1 7v
conector FAN2 12v
conector FAN3 9v
conector FAN4 12v

* fixed voltage means fans work 24/7 with the same voltage with pc in idle or load and without any "cable voltage reduction"

Nice run Nick.
What about OS? i see you guys use xp, but i'm actually already use server 2003 tw (with some reg modify), never found a xp can compete with that.

XP is faster actually..... quit server 2003 for a long time ..

But u need 2 device to do waza for sure .. also ram disk

For me .....Overclock cpu is quite easy to do . It requires good air cooling cooler for sure . After you max out the Mhz of CPU , then it is done .

But Memory overclocking is including lots different timings & ICs .

you can gain more performance with higher frequency and tight timing . But it will take more time to fine tune .

[psychopath]

the devil canyon 4690K will come to my country next week with price 220 euros


when this oc formula will be released?? asrock are sliping??

[ZenEffect]

vietnam is causing the hold up apparently. Just be patient, nothing can be done about political issues in other countries unless you want to start a revolution.

[Splave]

5.1ghz XTU on air with 4790k, thanks to special settings in ASRock bios'

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

Post Computex goodies from friends (thanks Splave, Lam222, Nick)



Rockets themed Galaxy OC fish from John Lam, thanks bro it's so clean I want to hang it on the wall and frame it



Props to Splave for bringing me all the goodies (tape, tape everywhere) + a new memory pot to add to the collection (2x Ney Pro, der8auer ECC, OG SF3D Triple Point) Tsai Ruei Huan your pot is awesome, will be testing it tomorrow when juice arrives.

[maxxx]

@l0ud,may I know what are those plates you use with the ram to attached to the memory pot?

[bullant]

Nice pics Loud,that memory pot looks interesting,looks like it has some mass on the bottom,let us know how it performs

[bullant]

Did some random PSC testing today,tested a few kits on Z97 OC Formula
You really done a great job on this board once again Nick
