jaja yes for sure you should have a wallet plenty of money.

Ahah now I get it whay you tryied to say. Yes you are right, not all the cpus are exactly the same. But well... everyone has its own ideas.

Ok well I will not worry that much, is all I can promise
I will lower the VccIO so, and there is something else that could be lowered?

Would be great if you could post your bios settings if you cpu is similar to mine, may be I can try some of your settings if you don't bother.

Thanks!

PD: Before I forget I add your account to my messenger, if you use it often we can talk there too.
Thanks for your help again.

Nothing else to lower, just VccIO. If it works at default - good, if not - raise it again.

BTW, I did some tests and discovered that lowering all voltages except vCore does not lower CPU temperature by a single degree. If anyone's findings differ, please share.
All voltages were lowered by 0.05V except CPU PLL which was lowered by 0.1V.
CPU was at 4.8GHz 1.41V LLC 100% (+0.02V load) HT ON; RAM at 1600MHz 7-7-7-20-1T, LinX w/AVX gave 107GFLOPS, room temperature 24°C w/AC, two hottest cores were always at 73/74°C.

P.S. I'm retesting my OC settings with SP1/AVX, and when I'm done - I'll share.

this is my result for 2600k + Maximus 4 Extreme + 2x2GB 2133Mhz RipjawsX

5.0 @ 1.35

Hmm... LinX bar turned purple. It means that linpack was closed before finishing.

whell i will testing using new version of linx
and after i will posting my results here

who can help me ?
my friend bought maximus 4 extreme + 2600k + gskill ripjaws X 1600Mhz
Motherboard show debug error 30

whats this problem ?

Did you search the manual for that code?

Have you tried booting with MemOK? Press the MemOK button and hold it, then press Power button and release both.

Tried clearing CMOS?

Might be overclamped CPU cooler and or some kind of memory issue. Power off at AC, clear CMOS, and remove one DIMM. Take out the DIMM closest to the CPU first. Power board back on and see if it will POST.


What kind of CPU cooler are you using?


If not Intel stock cooler, take the CPU cooler off, check the socket for bent pins. With the CPU out of the socket clear CMOS also (this sometimes helps odd as it sounds). If all is ok, put everything back together and see if the board will POST with two DIMMs.

Hi

5Ghz and 1.35V !

i can t do that

can you post all setup bios please ?

Thanks

[Osterman]

I would like to do some kind of experiment... to find out if it is an issue of the mb chipset...
Does someone here has obviously the asus maximus iv extreme and a hard disk drive SAMSUNG HD204UI?
If so, no matter that you have already update the samsung firm to the one that solve the data problems.
Would be interesting if someone of you try to reflash the hdd using the usb stick and all the things involved on it, keep the hdd plugged into one of the 6gb sata ports controlled by the chipset and see if you can update the hdd's firmare or you see an error, "uknown error".
That would be all, it require a couple of seconds. Then we will see if we also have mb that has issues with hdd sata 2 plugged on sata 3 ports... when they are supposed to be also able to run at full capacity the previous version of the connector.

I hope I had been clear enough.
Thanks!

[Praz]

Osterman, have you tested with hot-plugging enabled and then disabled?

[Osterman]

Osterman, have you tested with hot-plugging enabled and then disabled?

Yes I already tried to plugg them on sata 2, sata 3, sata 3 by the marvell controller.
On ide mode, on ahci mode.
And the only way to update the disk was with them on the sata 2 ports. What bothers me is the fact that I couldn't update it when it was on the sata 3 port. Where is me retro-compatibility?

[clone38]

Had the same problem was the memory was not seated in the board,i took it out and reseated them and the pc started up.

[jas420221]

CLAP CLAP CLAP.

No way would I run 24/7 5Ghz 1.5v... temps under control or not.

[kamicase_bb]

Hi
5Ghz and 1.35V !
i can t do that
can you post all setup bios please ?
Thanks

yes, i think my cpu is gold
tomorrow i will take some pictures and after i will put here

Hello guys.
I'm having problems with this wonderful mobo, here my rig:

cpu: 2600K
ram: Corsair Dominator GT 2133mhz (8gb)
vga: 3 x Evga gtx580 hydro copper in tri SLI
hd: 2 Ocz Vertex 3 max iops edition in raid0 (marvell controller)
Power: Antec True Power Quattro OC edition
Case: Corsair Obsidian 800D
Cooling: EK kit 360 deluxe with a second blackice 360 radiator (parallel circuits, one for mobo and cpu, one for the 3 vga)

My aim is 5.0ghz stable, i've started with 100x50 with VLL calibraton 75%, slowly rising vcore until 1.46, working but not nearly stable. I've tried VRM ffm forced to 350, i lowered ram to 1866, still getting bsod and hyperPI not always complete 32M cycle. I've tried to play with other settings to no avail. Taking for granted that very likely i didn't got the best cpu of the world, here my questions:
First: i'm running with bios 1303, should i upgrade to 1485? or downgrade (if possible) to 1204?
Second: What else i can try? someone can post or point me to stable 5.0ghz config? (i know, every cpu is different but at least i have something to start with). Any other hint is more than welcome.

Thanks in Advance

Not too many 2600K can give you 5Ghz with just 1.4xxv vcore. You might want to try 1.500v-1.550v to give you the best shot.

[Osterman]

Well here I am again, now playing with this:


What you think? something to pull down?

And certanly it was topic of discussion many times, but... 1.4xx or more for 24/7... is it safe?
I mean how far will you push the vcore for 24/7?

you need to raise vccio to at least 1.05-1.1 range and then you might be able to lower vcore a bit

[Osterman]

And vccio will be only usefull to lower vcore a bit or it will give me stability too?
If so I can try to do 4.8ghz with the same settings but lower a bit vcore...

[Raja@ASUS]

You can try "BCLK skew" to around -8 (CPU dependant), it can help lower VCore requirements for some stress tests.

Hi

i come to have news of setup bios

but i no see ...

Thanks

Use the Intel controller, much better.
