Donmarkoni shows 0011, not sure what that is



Just Air cooling with 80mm fan on IOH chip.
My favorite BIOS is 9124.

My 980X has BCLK 250MHz wall.
So maybe my REX3 can pass over BCLK 250MHz w/o slow mode with good chip.

BCLK limit depend on CPU & IOH quality.
So you had better to check other mobo, the first.
If other mobo can pass more BCLK speed, IOH is not so good.
But same BCLK wall, it's CPU limit.

If you want to more BCLK speed, please try as follow setting.

IOH Vcore: 1.40v - 1.46V
ICH Vcore: 1.15v - 1.20V
IOH & ICH PCI-E V: 1.60V
(Please be care of NB & SB chip temp.)
