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

[jiiper]

full spec at signature and have already 1.62 bios...

Ok ill check connectors soon and tell u what happened :P

An thanks for helping to translate my english :P

Ok, checking your sig the only couple things that stand out is I've never heard of "Cougar", so your PSU might be a factor. The other thing is the intel SSD, have you checked it to make sure its functioning properly?

[jiiper]

psu should be good (what i have heard) and yes ssd is running fine.

[jiiper]

Hmmm... Feeling kind a lucky today^^ First thing i tried and its working.
My cd-rom drive was "faulty" or something? took it off and now its running fine.

Looks like i need to buy new one.

Thanks for helping ket :P

If you only want 4GHz, the 2400 will let you have that easily.

okay... thanks.. if that the case, i will go buy either 2400 or 2500 instead.

will only overclock if I find that it is slow ... will be using this rig until the Z77 release in next year...

What the heck is Z77?

Ok, just the link would have been fine, no need for a mega-collossal-big picture http://hw-lab.com/intel-updates-chipset-roadmap.html

"Users willing to have Ivy Bridge based system will have a choice between motherboards based on Z77, Z75 or H77 chipsets. First two will replace Z68 and P67, while H77 will take H67 place targeted to masses."

So Z77 and Z75 is Ivy Bridge and will replace Z68 and P67. Ok

@ket, I'm using the fatal1ty board.

Yet another surprise. I read in another forum that Asrock has confirmed, that PCIe RAID Controllers are not supported on Asrock P67.
Is this a general Intel P67 problem, or is this concerning only the Asrock P67 motherboards?

You have just scared me, I have RocketRaid PCIe (2640x4) card and was going to order Extreme4. Now I'm scratching my head

Cougar series should be HEC's high-end retail units. Decent PSU's to very good (GX series). A little bit pricey though (at least here).

Ket, can you confirm this with Asrock? Is this a BIOS issue or a limitation of Sandy Bridge because of the on die PCIE controller?

I must have taken stupid pills today...

How do I turn off turbo mode (or whatever)? Every time I go to run a burn in test for stability it drops the damn multi down to 37-38x (from 46)

That's not turbo, it's your power limit in the UEFI settings. Increase it to 200+.

[Retrolock]

Fixed my ram issues. The Thermalright Venomous X was screwed to the board too tight. It warped the board and made mem slot 3 and 4 useless. The PCB of the Fatal1ty might be too thin for big coolers. But I never had a problem with the V8 and it was big and heavy.

Core Current Limit, yeah?

Is there any reason to put 200 over, say, 225?

No, but it doesn't hurt if you put 225-250. Just to be on the safe side

[vafan13]

I'll just put 250 then. I figure it's not telling it how much to use, only how much it can't use so no reason not to.

thanks both of you

Without reading where that claim come from its hard to put any merit in it. I would think if it was a problem with either Asrocks boards or the P67 chip itself there would be many people complaining about it. I don't see any, do you?

Sure would be easier if a actual Asrock rep dropped a word in this thread from time to time instead of me doing all the work for them, they owe me.

The claim comes from the following forum:

Thats not exactly the most detailed of descriptions from the user. I think you are blowing that way out of proportion, its ONE user, asking about ONE issue, with ONE RAID card. The user didn't even state if a different RAID card was tried. The problem could of entirely been with the RAID card itself and needing to be issued a firmware update.

Hi there , just set up my rig ...

bought the 2500 processor..

using the thermalright ultra 120 cooler ..

but in the hw monitor , it say core 0 and core 1 , is idle at 36 but my core 2 and core 3 idle at 42 .. using the hw monitor to check. but in the bios , it said the cpu temp is 46 ... it that too high... let me know.. I can resit the cooler again.

[Ket]

Temps seem fine. 4-6c delta between some of the cores is normal. I'd not pay too much attention to the UEFI CPU temp reading, I suspect its uncalibrated or it measures actual core temp, and not IHS surface temp.

okay .. thanks for the quick reply. hmm.. Im using third party cooler... the the load temp were good.. using the OCCT and prime95 to test.. . never even went past 60c... mostly in the range of 54-58c for all for core ..

may I know which temp monitor software as of current is able to give the correct temp of these sandybridge..

I realized that the realtemp 3.60 was like outdated.. last year oct.
