Asrock P67 Extreme4 UEFI & Drivers thread [Extreme6 & Pro3 owners welcome]

Thanks buddy

The lower multi BSOD was actually the video card... meh.

Anyone else getting the odd fail to post BCCcode 116/117 and a fermi? They are pretty common afterall - nothing too concerning as its fine when gaming or benching. Just occasionally it would seem the card doesn't get what it needs at post. I am sure it was doing it on my last system. PSU is new 850 Seasonic (old flag ship model) so no issue there (..he hopes..).

I got a GTX 470 and got no post problem due to graphic card banwell

Same here, 2 different GTX460 1GB cards used in my Extreme4, 750w PSU, no issues at all. I think your VGA may be dying

Samsung S2 Portable 2,5" USB 3.0 works like a charm.

Lovely as it an evga! hope they are out of 470 stock! 570 pls.

Seriously though its a small issue. Happens once in a while. I'll see how it progresses.

My Blackberry 9700 doesn't work in the USB 3.0 slot. Works fine when connected over USB 2.0.

If you are using DVI connection can you tell me if your UEFI is on fullscreen ?
Mine is like this:


10x in advance.

Using my Gainward GTX460 GS GLH and tested a PoV GTX560. Both works like a charm here.

Is there any way to disable Turbo Boost in Pro3? Sorry don't know where to post this...

Using DVI and yes Uefi is full screen and two different monitors.

Hi, this is my Asrock P67 Fatal1ty bios config and I want know if this config is ok





The system is all stable at 1.43v vcore but the options PCH Voltage, CPU LL Voltage, VTT Voltage and VCCSA Voltage is in AUTO, which config need to use there ???? where is VCCIO ???

Thanks

[Ket]

Assuming voltages are displayed realtime like they are with the Extreme boards, leave the settings as is none are dangerously high.

[k0k0]

which values is dangerous ?? I dont know which value I need to put in PCH Voltage, CPU LL Voltage, VTT Voltage and VCCSA Voltage.

[gurneyhck]

@k0k0, you should read about overclocking first, if u don't have a clue about the values you should put in. Read through this topic and other topics about the p67 mobo's, you really should know yourself what the settings are so you can "safely" overclock. Good luck and don't forget to post your results here

[bat4]

@k0k0

You could simply load the predefined settings for overclocking: "Load Optimized CPU OC Setting" menu option in UEFI. Just choose the target CPU clock. I would suggest to start with a lower OC setting, then if it is stable (run prime and other tools to test stability) you could load the next one. I have an Asrock P67 Extreme4 and the 4.8 GHz OC setting works for me without problems.

Do you guys recommend to replace mobo with B3 stepping? I don't have currently SATA issues (2R0 X18-M on SATA2 ports) and don't feel like disassembling everything...

[Cy4n1d3]

If you don't need those ports I wouldn't bother.

If all your SATA ports are working without problems, don't bother. My B2 Extreme4 recently has even survived a fire in my PC (VRMs on my NEW MSI GTX460 blew up!). The force is strong in my Extreme4 I don't think my PSU was so lucky though. I'm expecting a melted mess of capacitors, plastic and solder when I open it up.

There is a small probability that something may happen to the ports in the future, but if your data is sensitive then change it out. It should be a free replacement. I just recently got contacted by ewiz/superbiiz to swap over to a B3 and the board will be here next week.

Also my USB ports seem to be defective as they stop responding whenever writing large files. That's the main reason I went ahead and agreed to the switch.

one more with usb3 issues.. just tried this case, and if i try on different usb3 port (safely remove 1st) on 3rd-4rth try.. it will freeze when have to access the disk.... (tried even 0.98 drivers, with 0.96 i could use the usb3 only on 1 of 4 back usb3 ports), definitely driver issue of ETRON crap... wish it used.. NEC controller...

a small correction, these voltages are not monitored realtime UEFI just "reports" the user selection, nothing more (in fact on this page only cpu vcore is displayed/measured), that's why it never gonna happen to have them monitored in programs like aida64

I've forwarded a lot of details to Asrock, when I know something, you will know something

[papatsonis]

hope they'll forward the details to ETRONtech, (or i'm afraid you should directly contact them :S)

[Ket]

I'd say the better bet is Asrock, the official EtronTech website still only has the 0.91 driver as the latest driver

Hi,

Could you please benchmark your USB 3.0 HDD with HD Tune Pro, CrystalDiskMark or ATTO or any other HDD benchmarking tool and see if it is getting disconnected after 2 or 3 tests?

Thanks.
