I added user profile for memory configurator , U can save and load ur own setting easily in OS. Saving lots time.

You also can recover to bios value by the bios value option .Load it and apply . Please check the attached picture.

I ended up translating Billy-the-Kid's review today, you can read it here if you like to do so

[Gunslinger]

I was bored today

Me 2 Tested out the board frozen for the first time today.

I was pretty impressed with the board, very easy to get up to speed, and also has some very nice OC tools for use at the desktop level. My efficiency is terrible for 2D mostly because I hate benching 2D

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

^Nice to see you benching Gunslinger

Go ahead and update the bios, as well the new ones are very nice, and dat cpu


It must not be truly stable at the wprime runs because those times are super off for the clocks, but other than that everything else looks good

Z77 OC formula BIOS update 1.15G , Add SPD info option in Dram Configuration

Was testing a new chip tonight and did some 5Ghz runs with vdimm @ 1.8v

First up is all auto on secondary and tertiary timings, all I did was set 8-12-8-28-1T and the rest is magic . . .



then I tested 1276 8-11-7-27 and surprisingly it was about the same as 2600 8-12-8



and then a decent 2600 run



also was able to get an 06 run in




this board is awesome, I just need a good chip which seems like it is never going to happen

[nachtfalke]

this board is awesome also with SB arhitecture ...works verry fine, the VRM is the best ever made
my all IVY is to RMA...so i play with SB

Tried Avexir Hynix 2666 sticks ....

awesome .... Memory Clock 3150 Mhz Cl11 doing 32mX8 Hyperpi .

This pic is by Phone .. Will post more screen shot ...

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

^Awesome Nick, I will have some Dominator 2800 c11's to test once the board gets back to me.

The Avexir kit is 2GB dimms?

PSC?

This one is Hynix chip .....

Nice run

How high you can go with 2X4GB?

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

Nice run

How high you can go with 2X4GB?

They are 2GB dimms, so maybe 4X2GB?

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

[Zeus]

HyperPi at 1575MHz ... shoot me!

[Splave]

Froze some mem on Fromula today, board handled it very well for 3.5 hours of full memory pot with psc


So efficient! I was amazed, beat my old best by quite a margin at lower speed memory speed and looser timings.


Some pics sorry camera phone.








Frozen rock solid XD





At a wall with the imc, will test a new chip tomorrow. Might change to bbse as well, might not. We will see how I feel.
Board is a tank, true test is to see if it runs tomorrow but Im sure it will. Very impressive, ASROCK has changed for the better.

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

^This is awesome Splave, PSC powah!

[flesheatinvirus]

Lookin good Splave, nice numbers.

So what's the trick in getting this board to clock past 3.6? lol. I'm not sure what's happening with mine, but I am on an SB, 2700k. Do I need to do anything differently? Do the profiles apply to sb as well, or are they just for ivy setups? I've tried clocking manually and loading Shih's profiles with no luck. Turbo on or off, either way it never goes past a 36x. Never kicks into turbo mode even while gaming. With speedstep on it'll downclock under 3.6, but again never pushes past it, multiplier never goes above 36 despite being set higher in bios.

The multiplier will post with every single setup I've tried, boots into Windows fine, but it never actually takes the oc. Pretty weird, any advice? Is there a way or good purpose to having all speedstep and turbo features off at once?

Allen, is that a quadro i see?
