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

is PLL overvolt ok to use for 24/7 setup? Also, for the sake of minimizing degradation what core voltage should I be trying to stay under?

I have a P67 Extreme 6 and a 2500k OC'd @ 4.6Ghz. Everything works great except one thing that keeps bothering me. When I turn on the computer it will turn on for 2 seconds then power off, remain off for about 5 sec then power itself back on and then run through the POST process and boot to windows 7 like normal. This happens every time I shut my computer down and I have to turn it on again. Is this normal behavior for this board? I'm a little concerned with the wear on the parts.

You need to update the UEFI, that bug was fixed with UEFI 1.6A onward.

Indeed CPU temp in BIOS are usually off but to my complete surprise Extreme4 is the first Intel MB that shows me CPU temp the same as hottest core shown by ThrottleStop/RealTemp. Always.



Try latest beta.

You have a better IHS application than I do. Theres a maximum delta of 10c between hottest and coolest cores on my 2500k and even the average is 6-7c hotter between coolest and hottest cores and thats only idle at load it can increase to as much as 13c. Thats why I think its just TIM used under the IHS and why I'm so very tempted to take a razor blade and set it on my 2500k.

For 24/7 usage, you should be looking at around 1.38v max.

He has got Extreme6 so he need to flash UEFI 1.50A and higher.

Thanks. It works.
