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

I don't have much issue with 1600 and 6-6-6-18-CR1,only above.
Btw,what you set in CPU-Z to show Max TDP?

[OC Maximus]

Oh, I can run 2133 with my hypers just not spi32m. Have to drop down to 1866 for spi32m.

Of the girlfriend


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?

ive been using ahci from day 1. working perfectly for me with 4 hdds.

[maxxx]

F7f is a no go for me. Well, testing wise at least. I can't get into Windows at 54x100. F7e had no troubles at all.

@jackbrennan: Are you able to load WinXP on AHCI mode? I don't have an issue with Win7.

I haven't tried Windows XP to be honest. It's possible there is a conflict with current driver and the chipset.

Im dont think that I set anything, are you on the same version?

[sin0822]

ok i am back, so what BIOS you want me to test the voltages with F7 or F7e or what?

[maxxx]

@jack: on IDE mode, WinXP does load. Its just on AHCI. Oh well, not every one would use WinXP unless benching.

@sin022: Any chance you can do that on F7e?

[Falkentyne]

ok i am back, so what BIOS you want me to test the voltages with F7 or F7e or what?

f7e of course, because remember F7 doesn't have PLL overvoltage, right?
We wanted you to see what CPU pll overvoltage does to the actual PLL voltage (shown as 1.8 in the bios)

[sin0822]

ok yea i will check, but of course i can measure the voltage being inputed into the CPU, i do not have th means to check the voltage actually being applied to the actual phase lock loop, i personally think that voltage can be applied, the board will spit out a voltage, from my earlier testing the CPu pLL was being a bit overvolted at stock, and when increased it increased. People have tried increaseing the CPU pLL instead of using CPU PLL overvotlage without luck.

[Falkentyne]

Oh..I see...i Thought PLL voltage had a read point similar to VTT or VDIMM and so on. We were curious what happened to the 1.8 VPLL if overvoltage setting were set to enabled....

Same 1.56.3:
Did you use some additional software?
My:

Your:

sin0822,also if can F7f.
maxxx can't get into Windows at 54x100.

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

They should work closely long time ago.
On the end,new revision will be released.

I just grabbed it from fliphippo I think and unzipped, opened and it was there. I cant think of anything I did.

[maxxx]

With F7f, yes, it won't load Windows. Tried increasing some voltages already. RAM is back down to 1600 cas7. It just freezes on the loading part.

[sin0822]

i bet the TDp thing is part of hwmonitor

Got it!
Previous 1.56.3 is dated 22.Jan and filehippo CPU-Z 1.56.3 is dated 25.Jan and 4KB bigger.
-add Max TDP

I typed fliphippo , sry I hurt my back last week and Im on muscle relaxers and some pain meds.

Never mind bro,thanks for usefull info.

Well not sure what just happened but I can no longer post my system. I flashed back to F7e from F7 to get CPU PLL Overvoltage option. It worked I rebooted and setup the bios. Then I went to flash the backup bios to F7e it seemed to finish and then the computer shut off. Now it tries to post but instant shut off and then goes into a continuous boot. The computer does not stay on for more than a few seconds. All the fans start spinning up but then shut down and again. Tried clearing the CMOS but nothing will work. Could the backup bios process have caused a problem ?

Did you flash backup bios while overclocked?

[aver]

Nope back at stock speeds. I flashed back to F7e first and then configured all my bios settings (raid and boot order) didn't touch any of the OC settings. Rebooted into the bios backup flash. It asked me to press enter to write. pressed enter it wrote 4MB to the first image then started to write a second time shut off and now it wont start.

Could try info on page 9 post #222
But i think that is with stock backup bios untouched.

[Johnny87au]

To all you guys having ACHI issues, Cant you just install using IDE and registry tweak ACHI once installed then re enable after you enabled it in the registry?????

Thanks for the post.. Tried that about 10x now with no avail.. I wonder wtf happened and if I will have to rma?

[Nostromo]

Maybe try to pull all power from board, and pull battery?

Hope you get it sorted with no RMA.
