Anybody here using Asrock Extreme 4/6 can tell me how can i boot from USB stick since I dont have any optical driver

Just got my combo Extreme 4 + i2500k today, wanna do a fresh windows install but still dont know how to boot from my USB stick.

Make sure it's in a USB2 port and press F11 to access the boot menu during post

I haven't had any luck with the PCtreiber ASRock BIOS downloads either... I've tried several different ones and none will unzip correctly on my system(s). Kind of annoying... that seems to be the only source for beta BIOS out there that I can find? I need a new P67 Professional bios as the official 1.50 bios still has the 1.52v vcore limit!

You can find 152 version here

http://www.asrock.com/mb/beta.asp?Mo...20Professional

1. Update "ME" and MRC code.
2. Move DRAM-timing options to submenu.
3. Add "Onboard Debug LED" setup option.

Thanks for the link... I'll try that one. Hopefully they will put up the v1.60 (Pro) there soon.

Strange that I'm having trouble with the PCtrieber when it seems to work for others?

ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Professional UEFI 1.60A


Changelog:
- Fixes on-off Bug when Spread Spectrum is disabled. Maybe decrease BCLK OC-ability.

I got problems with L1.42 version for Extreme 6.
Overclocking is good but my H24 (4.8 GHz, 1.37, No PLL overvoltage) settings doesn't work anymore, I got BSOD while gaming.
Back to 1.40 and everything is working nice again

[Ket]

No such problems for me. 4.6GHz @ 1.36v works great Totally loving my 2500k @ 4.6. It stormed through 63 music vid conversions in about 10 mins

I'd like to try that one but I can't seem to get a clean download at PCtrieber?? and yet many others do??

@Olivion... I'm now succesfully flashed to P67 Pro v1.52 from your link and this beta BIOS also has vcore to 1.70v! It seems to running fine so far! Thanks...

Guys, I'm having problem with Ocing my 2500k, the thing is, no matter what Vcore - voltage I put in the BIOS(for example 1.315v for 45x - Fixed Value), when I run prime or some any heavy benchmark soft, my real vcore is always drop to 1.2xxv + the multiplier fluctuates from 41x to 45x ( monitoring with AXTU). I've disabled Speedstep, Spread Spectrum, PPL set to 1.586 and the rest are on auto.

This is really annoying then, need some help guys.

Set Turbo and CPU Current limits to 255/255/300.

[Aladdin]

Set Turbo and CPU Current limits to 255/255/300.

Awesome my friend, I think it actually fixed !

Ps: However, the voltage is still fluctuating depsite the multiplier is not, is there anyway to fix this mate ?

[radier]

First of all use offset voltage instead of fixed. Set Load-Line Calibration to level 5 and offset for eg. to +0.030V.
Set VTT to 0.986V, VCCSA to 0,925V and CPU PLL to 1,709V. These are Intel recommended.
Also turn ON SpeedStep, Internal PLL Overvoltage and Power Saving Mode.


Let me know if it helped.

Seem to be offset voltage is much better than fixed value , kind of weird since I expected the fixed value should give "fixed" voltage but its obviously not. Also, can I change the ram speed since its running at 1333 but actually its rated at 1600Mhz, I dont see any option in BIOS allow me to do that - just load the XMP profile 1 only -


Thanks mate

[radier]

Profile 1 is yours XMP.

[Aladdin]

Profile 1 is yours XMP.

Yeah but thats the problem since it only runs at 1333 !

Thanks a lot radier

It works well, no 0X0A BSOD while gaming. Spread Spectrum bug is not present anymore now

Set power and current limits to 200/200/200, then move down to the LLC options and set Level 3.

yeah it also worked , cheer mate.

Anyway, can you tell me how do I set my RAM to its stock speed (1600Mhz ? ) Sice its running at 1333Mhz now with the XMP profile loaded, and there is also no option to manually set the ram to 1600mhz , Im using 1.60A btw.

Also, my 2 USB3 ports in the back seem to be doesnt work, how do I active them lol ?

hi
has anyone got the extreme 6 1.50a bois to unzip corrently

Set XMP profile back to "Auto" then you will be able to manually set 1600MHz and timings.

Theres no reason why the HDD wouldn't work on the P67s SATA3 ports. If you can I would suggest formatting the drive. The other option is that you have some duff ports unless you can verify the ports are working fine in which case its probably worth checking the health of your drive.
