answered my own question

EDIT: nvm again just read what it does.

Hi,

Any suggestions what sort of Vcore I should try for 5Ghz and how can I find out what sort of max vcore boundaries this chip has? as I don't want to go to much.

Thanks

depends @ ur cooling. water ?? Air ?? phase ?? each chip needs different vcore. u have to sort it out by urself, but some chips r stable @ around 1,41 vcore, others need 1,45 up to 1,5 vcore.. as said.. depends @ ur chips and need to be tested.

but with bsod 101 it seems that it needs more vcore.

Hi,

I'm on water.. so 1.5v is max recommended?

Hi,

i would not recommend to use 1,5v for 24/7 on a 32nm chip on water. intel specs say max is 1,35v i guess.

All depends on if you can afford another chip quite easily.

nice owi what exactly spread spectrum does ?

Checked thru manual, Spread spectrum:
ENABLED to enhance BCLK OCbility
DISABLED to enhanced EMI control

Enabling it will reduce my vcore by 0.02v

weird i activate it and i dont see any dif...what bios are u on ?

[humeyboy]

Spread spectrum, is normally something every OC guide tells you do disable!

On my MIVEZ, it says the exact opposite of above, i.e. disable (in actual bios hint) to OC BLK which you are not going to clock much higher due to IGPU bus speed!

There sure seems a lack of sensors in these Mobos assuming "Motherboard Temp" is same old sensor that basically is temp of ambient near CMOS area, where is the Chipset (PCH) and VRM temps?

I had SB/NB/VRM/CPU Socket temps on my MFII

bios is 403.
i enable the CPU spread spectrum in AI.
in bios, it is disabled and manual VRM set to 550 extreme.

[Boulard83]

SpreadSpectrum is sometings suposed to reduce EMI radiation. Quite useless IMO.

I need help guys... just started setting things up today, and without windows even being installed i got cpu over-temperature error (87C from cold boot). I thought it was just a weird bios glitch so i disbable cpu temp monitoring and install windows, however when i check realtemp.. i'm idling in the high 50s to 60s which isn't normal since i have everything @ stock including all the energy saving features. I get out my dmm and measure voltage from cold boot to windows loaded... it goes from initial 1.1v to 1.22v which is normal, i also check with a dmm load voltage which is 1.24v. I don't get what could be the problem? I'm on 1850 currently... i need help

EDIT: when i did a stress test... i got all the way up to 98C

[badatgames18]

i have no idea what the problem is
here is a ss with it extracting ai suite which places very minimal load... ambient is 5C (opened window) since it was getting way to hot without lower ambient






Update... kept hsf the same and flashed the bios to 1598. it's now showing normal temps.

works for me

[bro20000]

Anyone on here tryed 1902 bios how does it compare with the rest!

[Boulard83]

I just updated to 1850 and its working fine.

4500mhz
1.35v bios, 75% LLC
1.344v under load. LinX

I didnt had time to see if my chip can go lower for 4.5ghz, have it for ~4days and time is something i dont have. This new bios is mostly for my Ram cause the one that came with it dont liked my 1.35v 1600mhz CAS8 ram. Ill try to tweak my Ram as for now.

yes its one of the best along with 1409

[Boulard83]

Wont boot with any lower than 1.40v on the memory. Nothing really bad but well ... this mem is on the QVL. Its better than my stock bios that didnt boot under 1.50v on memory.

Gskill ECO 2x4gb 8-8-8-24 @ 1600mhz with 1.40v

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

me and sucked bad

not if you like to bench 01

[Martin.v.r]

1902 i bad bios,best bios 1409,next is 1850

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

1902 i bad bios,best bios 1409,next is 1850

only difference between these two is the bios

1850


1902



while I agree that bios 1902 has some issues it does very well with 01, even though I could not recommend it for a 24/7 user

yes i remember now it has something for 3DM01 but for 24/7 i recommend 1409/1805

1902 bios seem fine for me had no problems running 2600k at 5ghz 1.38Vcore 2166Mhz 6-10-6-27 timing! Seems a really stable bios!

[Leeghoofd]

Any idea why I can't change bl via RC tweakit ( all other settings liek multipliers, voltages,... work ) TurboV works, so it's some soft issue or a thing I overlooked ( I hope ) This happens on 1303 and 1902 bios

Any ideas ??

[badatgames18]

is anyone using 1598? i'm using it but i haven't used any other bios so i can't compare

not sure if it's good or not

[Killdozer]

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the mIVe-z but my current soundcard is Fatality PCI so I either get a new one or live with the onboard Realtek... I never used the little SupremeFX PCIe x1 unit from my mIIf P45 'cause the Fatality card sounded better. How is the sound on the mIVe?
Thanks!
