nice owi i love 2x2 2133+ kits i have one of mushkins 2133 CL7 will try later for now look this

I2600K @ 100x56 2 cores 2 threads (not to give more volts to this nice chip)
2x4GB Patriot Xtreme 2133 9-11-9-27 1T
MIVE BIOS 1850

Looking good Sergio! Do you think it can bench 57x 2c/2t?

Looking good Sergio! Do you think it can bench 57x 2c/2t?

i think so as it needs low vcore much lower than all the ones i tested, but look this SO weird, it booted passed POST and showed windows prompt till x59 on older BIOS now on this 1850 dont go over x56, also i was able to x51 with no internal PLL and with this bios only till x50 then needs it...so weird man, lovely board but i cant save my OC profiles like on giga so i flash i will loose all and im getting used to learn this bios, so once i write down all settings i will flash to try again, but its so weird i cant believe, or either something happened to the chip or the BIOS got confused

for now i can bench at 56x on low volts that i was searching so long for that

thanks for your mesage pol

i still have the x54 beauty i love that chip

cheers !

dang...and if you go back ? it shows correct ?

No shows do not. Now I update any bios that this is happening in the sensor. I do not know what else I do, I hope it's just an error in reading or something.

[CryptiK]

once i write down all settings

Take photos man, heaps quicker while you're testing lots of HW and settings

[MonsterDK]

hey

Do I need to have LN2 switch on the maximus 4 set to on for overclocking or is that not needed?
mentions really low temps but is this ONLY for cold boot issues and nothing more?

also am I correct in thinking that with the PCI E slots for graphic cards..
For single card it would go into top red PCI-E?

If it's cross fire/SLI then one card would go into the second red slot and the other card
would go into the last red slot at the bottom?

thanks

thanks man but ASUS should improve a profile save to USB as GIGABYTE, as such a nice mobo and dont have this feature

Anyone, please?

Anyone, please?

The LN2 switch is not needed for normal overclocking. A single graphics card will go in the first PCIe x16 slot and if running a second card insert that card in the 3rd PCIe x16 slot.

In the manual it says...

"In CrossFireX or SLi mode, use PCIE_X16/8_1 and PCIEX8_3 slots for PCI Express x 16 cards to get better performance."

So the 3rd slot will run at 8x speed ?....as it says...

"PCIe 2.0 x16 slot with x8 bandwidth"

[Praz]

Yes slot #3 will run at x8 speed. But this slot goes directly to the processor. Slots 2 and 4 go through the NF200 chip.

So sticking the cards in 2 x 16x is not always the best way?

[deachus]

The short answer is not always. You should just go ahead and test SLI/Crossfire in slots #1 & #3 and then test with cards in slots #2 & #4 and you will see the difference.

Just Ordered this board and swap it with me P67A-UD7. I hope this board is good and good bios support !!! plz plz plz

oh man you gonna love it
night and day between the gigabut ud7 and the MIVE

even andresergio got gigaexorcised

nice new word Leeghoofd


tks again shamino for these boards

yeah nice word lol

im loving this mobo qgshadow u will be crazy with it

[qgshadow]

Yes Can't wait to test the board.

[qgshadow]

Do i need to use both Molex Connector?

and any advice on best bios settings for 5ghz

[andressergio]

no need of molex if u not running 3 SLI or QUAD

use 75% LLC
load extreme profile
test

update to BIOS 1850

only if you wanna see your 24pin

you runnin trifire

andresergio is right 1850 is best

[qgshadow]

So i only need the bottom molex, since the top one is for additionnal CPU Power..

And the bottom one for PCI-E Lanes?

[MonsterDK]

Hi,

I want to put my Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card into the PCIe 4 x slot at the bottom of the board. If this slot is populated does it degrade any other PCI slots?
I've looked in the manual, but still left me unsure.

thanks

Im No Expert, but if you only use SLI or Crossfire with 2 GPUS, it wont change anything, except that you have a better sound card.

1 molex should be enough

[qgshadow]

Wow.... I put everything together...

First boot...

No POST, Red light close to the 28pin connector lights up, and its the CPU Led...


WTFFFF

nvm it as the stupid LN2 mode switch , ON by default... thats pretty dumb
