Well i tried F5a, and will be flashing F4m as soon as i can find a link for it.
I can boot no problem, and my 4.2ghz settings (200 blck) are at least 10 mins prime stable, however i stopped it because on this bios i cannot do any form of restart - whether it be restarting from windows, or even doing a ctrl+alt+del during post, it just gives me a black screen with no post codes. I have to press the reset button on my board. My NB temps were also higher than usual (59c idle, 61c load - noticed because of the flashing green LED), and i figured out why. I had my IOH Core voltage on Auto, which was fine before but according to Easytune with this bios it's setting 1.22v when it's 1.1v stock.
What's the difference between IOH Core, ICH I/O, and ICH core? I assume ICH core is the SB, so which is NB out of ICH I/O and IOH Core? If IOH Core is the NB which it seems to be, then it's a very different chip indeed because at 1.1v idle it has the same temps as my old x48 NB did at 100% load with 1.7v!
P.s anyone got a link to F4m? Searching back through this thread but can't find one. Station drivers don't have it
NVM found one
