not bad my friend, very nice!

Thank you.

So,with BIOS F7 anybody can reach 5GHz or over?
Only fix S3 bug,with price of CPU PLL overvoltage option.

I think they will figure it out, so far i found the most stable BIOS for OC to be F7E and F6X for Cpu PLL Personally with a D1 stepping chip cpu pll overvoltage has no affect. seems like they have fiddled wtih LLC Level2 and LLC level1 a lot, but i think they need to tune down LLC level2.

Yes i can do 5.2 ghz with this BIOS, but then again CPu pLL Overvoltage i don't need.

Anyone able to install WinXP successfully? Which AHCI/IDE drivers do we need to integrate? I just downloaded the latest RST drivers from Intel. Intel RST Driver

No problem with windows XP - benched to my hearts content with XP.

OCZ Vertex 2 SSD install OS and boot as normal. Did nothing else special at all.

@1Day: I managed to install on IDE mode. Was trying to get it to install using AHCI. This will do for now. Thanks a mill!

Ok give me twenty and I will install using AHCI if I can. Thought I had actually guess I need some sleep.


BSOD when trying to install using ACHI> must have then installed on my SSD using IDE.

Using F7 for the first time got into windows running stable 4.5Ghz on 1.296v. This is the lowest voltage I have been able to run @4.5. But I cannot seem to really do much with 48x or 50x without the pll overvoltage option (I could bench at 5Ghz on F6X). I can get into windows with 48 multi between 1.34 - 1.38vcore (in windows) using LLC Level2 but it keeps crashing with BSOD124 randomly.

Picked up a 2500k today, Seems a little better than my 2600k. Have to enable Internal PLL at 49x on this chip instead of 47x on my 2600. It also clocks 200mhz higher before I get the dreaded 4E post code and fails to boot. I guess when you reach the multiplier where you have to enable Internal PLL is the indicator of how high the chips max oc will be, 600mhz above that will the max?

Just start to test F7f BIOS with CPU PLL overvoltage option,dated 26.Jan(just before F7).
Supose to enhance memory performance.

[OC Nub]

Thank you stasio!

Have you tested CPU PLL voltage with the Internal CPU PLL setting enabled? Or has anyone tested it with a DMM?

[sin0822]

i will do DMM testing if you like

[OC Nub]

i will do DMM testing if you like

That would be awesome! I was wondering what the CPU PLL actual voltage was when using Internal CPU PLL overvoltage set to enabled with voltage in the bios set to 1.80v.

When you use the DMM you use the ground/black wire from the molex connector for your ground/black probe? If so the problem is all my wires on the AX1200 are black. I guess I just see which wire from the fan with molex connector is black to find the ground?

[stasio]

i will do DMM testing if you like

Will be good to know about Auto/Normal voltage for:
-QPI/VTT
-System Agent Voltage
-PCH Core
-CPU PLL
as they always show default in ET6.

[Hondacity]

maybe a scope shot too...

[Falkentyne]

i will do DMM testing if you like

GREAT news

[sin0822]

haha you guys are asking a lot i have to pull the board out of the case.

I will do it just let me goto dinner with my girlfriend first ok I will do it tonight though.

Going to have to try F7f later!

It seems a lot of people are having the AHCI issues. Any word on if they're working on it?

[bartman1973]

hahaha can I add to all of the request above? Can you please provide where to measure those voltages and I will mod my UD7. I will put something like a Vcheck that we have actually seen in other brands

@bassplayer: I never got it to work with WinXP. Win7 doesn't have any problem with it.

@bartman1973:The review sin022 made does show where the read points are.

[maxxx]

Double post........

[bartman1973]

ooops sorry overlooked that one ...time to mod my board tonight

i think intel is working closely with mobo makers right now..

This 2500k doesnt seem to be as bad with the hypers as the 2600k was. No issues at 1600c6 but 2133 needs work.
