MaximusIV-Extreme Thread

[Raja@ASUS]

Care to elaborate this? ? thanks!

Every clock cycle consumes power; more clock cycles over time = more power consumed. That's why the voltages stipulated in the white papers are based upon stock operating frequency only.

Hi guys,

Got myself the ASUS Maximus IV Extreme, installed it, hooked everything up and installed windows 7 64-bit.
All went great but i have 1 device that i can't get a driver installed for, PCI Simple Communications-controller.
Installed all drivers and utility's with the support CD, ASUS InstALL but no mather what i do this thing will not install.
Googled for it but didn't find a fix for it, so i thought why not ask here

Update: Never mind, issue solved. It was the chipset driver that wasn't installed properly

in simple words you can only push the nitro button so many times before your engine blows

every cpu is different some you can push n some you cant

when you get the MIVE you wont touch the ud7

He man. what are the points for a high bclk on den mive? am i only been stopped from the cpu or also the mainboard? could it be that the mive ist the bottleneck? i've only reached 104,7 to 105,2 with an mive and 3 different 2500k (horrible chips x51+x52). do you think its only the cpu or also some settings?

you need to find the right settings
having a good chip helps

Has anyone tested the 0654 Beta BIOS for the Extreme-Z yet?

[Hampti]

I've tried shaminos tweaks. Thanks but that isn't the problem i think. I will try it with another cpu at the evening and will post my settings here. thanks a lot.

Few questions guys,

1.My NF 200 voltage is going from 0.000 to 0.007@ BIOS is this normal?
2.LN2 mode seems to be enabled? and its grey out like i cant disable it? how to turn off?
3. Chasis fan speed 1& 2 - NA?

BIOS version is 1204, is this BIOS any good?

Also did they fixed Intel RST issues or i should install them? i see Jmicron controler in BIOS, what is for? can i disable this ****? as far as i know the sata 3 ports are both Intel, and the sata 6 are 2x Intel and 2x Marvel (which i think to disable)

[OcAddict]

Did anyone experience this, mouse and keybord hooked up in the usb ports beside the ps2 port and sometimes the mouse and keybord power off for just 1 second and then come back,
everything works again but is very annoying

1. It is normal. If not used, NF200 is turned off.
2. There is a switch near Start button.
3. What do you mean by that? You have 3 wire fans connected and it's not showing speed?

BIOS 1204 is rather old, try newer.

I don't know about RST, as I don't use it. JMicron is for ESATA ports on the back panel, you can disable it, if you don't use it.

I did. And yes, it's annoying.

[psyside]

Can anyone PLEASE tell me how the *uck should i turn off LN2 mode???????? in BIOS i can't find the setting like 3 days already it says: LN2 mode - enable but i can't even enter that section...i already posted this at 3 different forums and still no answer...

Also in VRM options i can't find the duty control setting in order to change it to extreme

[Olly_K]

as has already been said, there is a SWITCH on the motherboard by the start/power bottom, just towards the bottom right of it. you can't miss it !!!!

Thanks alot bro, can you also tell me where is the duty control setting located in BIOS? (1850) thanks!

EDIT: Im sorry guys, i didn't see donmarkoni already answer me about LN2 mode option sry really...

[Olly_K]

sorry, I can't answer your other question, hopefully a pro will soon

[psyside]

Ok no worries, btw is 1 hour Aida 64 stability test enough for some general idea of system stability? i even included the HDD's

EDIT, Is 1.375 good vcore for 4.8? im semi stable at that voltage, what i mean by semi stable is that i havent have enough time to test my system, like 15 mins linx (all memory settings with SP1- AVX) and Aida 64 - 30 minutes/1hour tests.

Here are my settings,











Are this settings good? what would you guys suggest to change for better results/stability/vcore?

Also strange thing is that i dont see my SSD in boot options...(last pic) anyone got idea what is the cause for it? thanks

Note: I'm running with HT on.

[psyside]

Damn, fast error on OCCT, is this gpu related? im on backup crappy 8400GS atm, is this errror related to it or? vcore is (during this test) 1.395 in BIOS, @4.8....also OCCT show my cpu settings as unknown? : /






EDIT: Sorry for thread spamming guys.

well yesterday at 11:30 received this mobo and 2 chips random pick

a costa rica batch that stops on x54
and i still cant believe my eyes i got a x59 chip !!!!!!!!! yes it post and tries to go into windows but obvious i dont want to know the volts it may need and cooling

heres some screens of my first boot with my ASUS expert








btw batch of the x59 is #L045B836 Malay

cheers to all
