Check my settings.

You may have to play a little bit with offset that fits yours particular CPU.

[banwell]

Hey dude thanks for this. I just ran the test and I passed it 5/5. The test raised my vcore to 1.338 and my temps to 79 but it quickly went down. So how many passes do I have to do? I'm worried about killing my chip hehe.. I should upgrade to Noctua NH-D14...

It takes longer but I'd run 2-3hours Prime95 Blend. Then if you're ultra concerned a full 12hours of Prime blend.

Do i need to set 1st desired fixed voltage and then offset ?
10x in advance.

[Ket]

No. Either use LLC4 with offset voltage or LLC2 with fixed voltage.

[lavazza]

One more thing just to ensure i have figured it out:

Raising positive offset is lowering vcore and on the contrary, rising negative offset is rising the vcore ?
10x in advance.

[radier]

In fact, it's directly opposite.

[lavazza]

In fact, it's directly opposite.

So according to your settings in the upper post your vcore under load is 1.328 + 0.040 offset = 1.368 ?

[radier]

No.

1,328 is result of VID + offset.

Basically VID +/- offset = vCore

[BranFB]

Is the difference between VTT and DIMM voltage of <0.45 a myth in SB platform.
Or a reality ?

[nijel]

myth

...Any chance that skin can be changed? It looks like something out of the 80s ..

Guys, does anyone has noticed problems with USB 3.0 HDD cases and the problematic USB 3.0 ports on the back of the board ?

Yes, thers been loads of talk about it especially a few pages or so back I've been in touch with a few Asrock contacts and they are working on it

[papatsonis]

@ket no need to mess with driver editing (for Trustudio Pro) , as it seems, all generic drivers work ok, you just need the THX Trustudio Pro RC1 from asrock's site, which worked fine, you just need to activate it(included in zip)

also, keep an eye here

for now i haven't found any activator/license for asus's X-FI MB2, which adds EAX5.0

edit : if it installs correctly (mine couldn't get licensed..), theoretically in AIDA64 you should see in OpenAL, up to EAX4.0 (not emulated)

[BranFB]

@radier,

do you touch theadvanced tab. I mean C1 c3 c6 EIST etc. what are you enabling and what are you disabling?!
for now my 2600K is +0.05 Offset LLC2 4.6GHz 8gb ram

[radier]

Enable all.

I just purchased another 4 gig of memory for a total of 8 Gig. I am using the Extreme4, with the i2500k. The ram are GSkill Ripjaws 2133 Cas 7. I cannot get past the bios screen when all 8 gig are inserted. When everything is set in bios, it just tries multiple reboots, then goes into the bios screen. Please help!!!!!!!!!!

There's a reason memory manufacturers sell memory as kits..

Its pot luck getting two 4gb kits to run as 8gb (at max ratings). Assuming its only the memory that's at issue (you're booting at default bios settings?) ramp down the speed/timings and find the best they'll do together.

Otherwise consider selling the kits separately and buying a manufacturer's 'matched 8gb kit'. You'd be better off with x2 4gb dimms anyway.

Did you set the correct voltage?

It won't even boot at default settings

Did you set the correct voltage?

Yes, I even tried upping the voltage aswell. Guess I will just send the 2nd kit back.

Are those single-sided or double-sided memory?

+1. Always a bad idea trying to mix memory modules.

Any tips on getting windows 7 to see my marvel data raid?

I stripped down the PC to route some cables for my new Xonar Dx and since rebooting it refuses to see my non os data raid. Usually a few reboot as it shows up, do I need to run some drivers off the CD? I've cleared the CMOS and tried just about every thing in the bios. Every thing is on ACHI the raid itself is always on the marvel ports. Is there a boot key to get into the Marvel controller?

/cheers
