[sargatanas]

finally received my mive today
any advice which is the most stable/best clocking bios atm?

[MikeMK]

I've found 1090 to be the best for me so far.

[quake6]

Try 1204, also very good. But still I can't get hypers to work on this board. I tried Asrock P67 Extreme4 and Gigabyte UD7, no problem with hypers :/

Would you guys be interested in some CPU speed performance scaling results? I have used what I consider to be an average CPU as far as voltage is concerned. Also used GTX 570 triple SLI so the results would be CPU speed dependent as much as possible.

All the benches have been run at 4600MHz, 4800MHz and 5000MHz. At each CPU speed the system was fully stable. I also have screenshots of MemTest For Windows. Prime95/LinX is not included because they did not guarantee stability after passing. The CPU voltage needed for successful runs of Prime/LinX resulted in the system crashing while rendering in 3ds Max, encoding and a couple of games.

What I was looking at was does it make sense for 24/7 use to run at 5000MHz or higher when most processors will run at considerably less voltage at a lower speed. I have screenshots and data from the programs listed below. All I need to do is finish up the charts. If there is some interest in this I'll get it done. Thanks.

.......

isnt there one already in the review section up to 5ghz on a X980
after 4ghz no diff afaik i remember

[Splave]

anyone else have issues with STT ram? boots 6-6-6 2133 no matter what I set timmings wise. Wont boot dual channel because come on its 2133 6-6-6 lol

1.57 shows the same...fixed it...cant put any pressure at all on the socket apparently. Half un-screwed my HSF and it booted right up.

32m @ 2133 7-8-7-24-88-1t insta failure ftl

EDIT: These settings instant fail 2133 8 8 8 24

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

@ Splave


still no love for the hypers on the new board huh

I haven't even opened mine yet

[Hondacity]

is that the green pcb or black pcb supertalents?

[Splave]

No love at all! 6-9-6 with bbse 2133 no problemo, but without hyper support this board is as good as a p8p67 pro to me

@ honda black pcb bruddah

[Hondacity]

the black pcb ones have loosers spd profiles than the green. i was thinking it woulda worked easier.

i still have to get the spd files of some other hypers.

raju mentioned of higher vdimm is needed as we're running this rams with more bandwidth...

[chew*]

See if i can come up with some "safe" baselines later tonight.

Obviously won't be tuned for OMG effec as thats your job but should get you to the point where it can be dialed in.

[Splave]

that'd be great, id be happy with 7-8-7-24-88 at this point lol

enable mem booster, vdimm 1,825v, vtt 1.28v, CFG lock disabled

[Hondacity]

1.825v vdimm

lol

[chew*]

enable mem booster, vdimm 1,825v, vtt 1.28v, CFG lock disabled

bandwidth booster = no gains in 32m......least if your manually dialed in, been there tested, even my e-peen didn't grow nor did my wife find me more desireable

1.825 is way to much volts i ran my crazy latency runs at 1.75 measured.........

Some can't even post with over 1.16vtt......

[Splave]

well this is at 1.725vdimm 1.1vCCIO something funny is going on when I bump to 2133, tried 98 bclk and same thing ram was like 2080 7-8-7

Sigh....1.544 for 5 ghz...can you lower the voltage? That's extremely high...
What CPU cooler are you using?

Hi, 1.5v bios set.. yes my 2600K is not of a good batch.
lower will give BSOD 124 in minutes.
custom wc as per siggy, ambient temp 35C.

tried those volts for giggles and over volting the vtt was more unstable then 1.15v set.

Where did you get EFI BIOS 1298? I couldn't find it. Can you send it to me?

I just found out that Corsair Dominator 2000C9 8GB memory (4GBx2) is not compatible with M4E. I kept having stoppage in Prime95 even at stock and I switched to Vengeance 8GB (4GBx2) and it's running fine now.
