Thanks Olly but my SSD is connected to the intel red sata port.
But if I disable the jmicron on the bios screen, I get a HDD not found error and it boots into bios again.
The only drives in the black sata are my D: 1TB HDD and my E: DVD drive.

i have found the problem for improve stability cpu needs a little cpu pll about 1.83 @-45
great mobo runs my hypers@2260 7-8-7-21-1t with 1.81 vmem
cpu rock stable@5610

[Olly_K]

Barso, try playing with the boot order.....I think I had a similar problem

[miahallen]

The core voltage for a functional unit is not the same thing as the transceiver IO or termination voltage for any associated signal line (unless engineered in such a way). It is the IO voltage that is important for overclocking as that drives the transceivers which receive and send data. Think of it as vIOH and VTT. The placement of the memory controller was never in doubt - my opening response said that it sits to the side but the interconnect will be driven by the IO voltage. The main thing here is to understand the role of IO.


I never used the D1s myself, there may be some differences but they would not be that large as to flip the role of the IO rail. Either way, I suggest you have another in-depth play with some boards and CPUs and see for yourself which voltage has the impact on memory clocking.

Thanks for the responses Raja I have no idea why my results don't match, but I'll continue testing, and now with more retail CPUs

What are your VccSA & VccIO settings?

[psyside]

Anyone with D14 and this board/i72600K to share some experience about 4.8/5Ghz max vcore/temps? thanks.

1.15 vccio stock vccsa

[Splave]

hmm I undervolt SA to .85v and runs memory fine...
cpu pll at 1.53v too, but this is just 32m not linX

Could be down to heat or DC coupling - the major contributor to memory stability is VCCIO.

has anyone managed to get a 24/7 5.0ghz overclock for their 2600k on air cooling with this board? and i don't mean with the stock air cooler.

I'm keeping it at 5GHz 24/7, but it's on water. I don't know if it's usable on air. If you like, I'll give you settings when I get home (btw, vCore=1.5V).

I am running 5.0ghz under water, with 1.42v (under load)with 8GB (4X2) running at 1866 8-8-8-24 1T stable (both linx and prime)

how long will it blend?




no degradation whatsoever, still clocks exactly how it clocked when I got it

How is your sandy bridge experience so far donmarkoni?

I like it more then before, when I tested Asus P8P67 Pro. Must be the board. This one has many options to play with.
And, of course, this 2600K can do 54x unlike the other which could do only 51x, although same batch, same shipment in the same store.
Now just to find 55+ CPU.

[noobzed]

Is there a voltage to change to lower the cpu temperature ? ( I mean apart from VCore )

I run 5Ghz with 1.390v [set in bios]. This gives me 1.375v load. But I'm on water. I had issues runing 8Gb ram at 9-11-9-28 1T, I messed around with VCCio and SA , sometimes I was abble to pass linx others I wasn't... I don't really know why. So I went for 1866 8-9-8-24 1T and all is ok. I think 8Gb 2133 must get hard on the IMC...

What case, cpu cooler, and max temps you got?

[fab-45]

Hi

me run 24/7 5ghz on air 1.44V HT on

i have silver arrow whit 2 fan 140 stock

my temp max is 58°c in load whit game and 72°c on linX 1 hour

You could try with CPU PLL and VCCSA.

BTW, @ALL: we should mention CPU LLC level when we're talking about vCore, if not mentioning DMM measured voltage.
From what I've seen/measured, vCore drops by 0.02V under load when at 75% LLC, and rises by the same when at 100% LLC.
If anyone could measure, please do, for comparison purposes.

I have 4.9ghz linx stable. Super happy about that, but I want 5ghz.

All settings are auto, besides 1.4v core (I want 24/7, so I'm not moving it up).

What voltage setting should be changed from auto? I've tried chaning a lot of stuff and windows basically never loads. I can sometimes get in at 5ghz, but it's not stable at all. Really weird since 4.9ghz is solid. Just a 1x multiplier bump.

I use 1.395v in Bios with LCC@75%. With my DMM I see ~1.395 idle, It get's to 1.380(5) with light load. And drops to 1.375v with linx.

I'm going to ask this here:

Why did you guys go for the MIV instead of the WS Revolution? I went with the Revolution as I thought they had pretty much the same in common but the WS Revolution could do quad sli, but now I'm starting to think I should have gone with the MIV. So lemme have it! Convince me

I got the MIVE open box for $265 shipped.

1. It's also super stable. I've never had a more stable board.
2.Should be more support since it's their highest end board. You'll probably also have more support from users on this forum since it's an enthusiast board.
3. For SLI/Crossfire setups, I found allowing space between the two cards really helped w/ temps. That's not so easy w/ that board as you'd need a really long SLI bridge (might come with one long enough though).
4. MIVE has two molex power connectors vs one on the workstation. If you wanted 3 or 4way SLI/Crossfire, that will help.

Did I miss anything?

Adding to all this, you can also "quad" in M4E with 590Gtx ( ok with some problems ) and 6990 out. You can just have 2 ( 6950/6970) + 6990 or 2x6990. Same for nvida 2x 590Gtx. If you really need that much graphic power... I've a 6950@70 crossfireX and it is more then enought and for the price of one 580Gtx was the bang for the buck
