No, no, no, andressergio, he has M4E-Z.

M_T_M, there is no QPI/VTT voltage, as I said, VccIO and VccSA are the voltages for memory controller, DMI, IO, etc.

[M_T_M]

And then is 0403 last bios for M4E-Z?

ouch sorry

What is the max voltage for 24 / 7.? I have i7 2600k on water.

[M_T_M]

I have problem with overclocking my i7 2600k. My settings:

Vcore: 1.44V
LLC: 100%
Dram Voltage: 1.65V
PWM mode: Extreme
VFFM: 350
Vcore phase control: Extreme
VCCSA/IO: 1.20V

I got a BSOD code: 0x000000124. Please help

[CryptiK]

124 = raise vcore most likely solution

[andressergio]

124 = raise vcore most likely solution

hey friend how are you ?

yeah 124 raise vcore

[M_T_M]

How much is the max voltage for 24 / 7.? I have i7 2600k on water?

[i_max2k2]

Put them in slots 2 & 4 to run both at 16x, but if you have time, test them in slots 1 & 3 at 8x both. You should get slightly better results.

If you want to run 3 graphic cards at 16x, you should use slots 1, 2 & 4.


Except obvious (vCore) you should try playing with VccSA & VccIO, which are something like QPI/VTT. Many say VccIO is the key, but I would not forget about VccSA. Don't forget DIGI+ VRM section.

Thank you! this is good info! I'll test it on both slots , and those are some good clocks on the 580, is it on water?

[donmarkoni]

@M_T_M

Depends on your cooler, but I don't go over 1.5-1.52V for 24/7.

Some will say that it is too high, but it all depends on how long you want your CPU to last. I don't need mine to last 10 years.

@i_max2k2

Glad to help. Yeah, it's on water. Hardly ever goes over 50°C.

You were right! Ran 3D mark (Vantage/11) on both 2/4 and 1/3 configs with my 470 SLI, and 1/3 was better even being at x8 (by about 200-300 points), I'm guessing 1/3 is native Z68 Chipset lanes, and in 2/4 is it 16 lanes from P67 and 16 lanes from NF200?

Yesterday I tried overclocking my vanilla 580 (stock hsf), I was able to get upto 950/1900/4250 @ 1.15v, that was the max voltage I think evga's bios allowed, and for some weird reason, I dint have issues while doing artifact scanning at lower volts, but as soon as I ran 3D mark 11 the drivers crashed, this happened several times, I cleaned up my drivers, that dint help, then I tried increasing the voltage and thats when I realized the issue was lower voltage, but I would think in such circumstances I would artifacts atleast in Furmark or something, did something like this happen with your cards too?

The ambient temps were low and on max loads I wasnt going over 74c in Furmark/3D mark 11/ Vantage, so I think I have a little more headroom for slight higher voltage, and in 3d mark 11 I went from P6500 to ~ P7400, which I thought was pretty significant, this is my first experience with ocing the 500 series, and it seems fermi scales very well after 900Mhz. But I'm not sure what are safe voltages/temps for these cards for 24/7 use, how much voltage are your cards running on?

Lanes 1&3 are 8x each directly to the CPU. Lanes 2&4 are 16x each through the NF200 chip which adds latency causing the lower scores.

Ok that makes sense, so now I'm wondering, in a TRI SLI situation, when we have cards split up between NF200 and P67/Z68, would the performance actually degrade because of this latency? Not sure how that would work, I'm just guessing that the some lanes will be going to the chipset some to NF200.

Quick one for you. How's the bios support been for the P67? I'm about to get a Z68 but I have an offer on a P67 that I might take up and save some cash. If the bios support for the P67 has been lacking since the Z68 came out I'll just put out the extra cash for the Z68. If the P67 support has been up to par then I'll save some cash. I just don't want to end up with a board with no bios updates.

Thanks

[deachus]

Bios support has been great for MIVE and pretty often

Asus has been on top of it with bios updates for the MIVE, MIVE-Z and the MIVE Gene. It seems all the ROG boards are getting bios updates at about the same time.

p67?

[deachus]

yes, Maximus IV Extreme, not Z

[Devil_Dog]

Thanks brother!

[Barso]

I run my cpu at 1.06v on manual but when I try to enable offset so that the cpu will run at less volts when idle I cannot adjust the volts as they reset at 1,2v.
Is there anyway to run manual at 1.06v and also enable the cpu to idle at .08 ?
Thanks.

We should not spam this thread, as there is dedicated thread for GTX 580 overclocking and stuff. You have PM.

Hey,

Firstly I want to thank andressergio for the help he has given me to even get the system working and OC'd. As I did initially have some problems that was driving me crazy.

RIG:
MOBO: Maximus IV Extreme
CHIP: 2600k (Costa Rica) @ 4.8Ghz
Noctua D14 (swapping out for a Antec 920)
8GB Mushkin Redline Ridgeback #997000 2 x 4GB @ 2133 9-11-9-28 1T
BIOS: 1850

100 x 48
CPU Vcore: 1.45v
Dram: 1.65v
VCCIO: 1.08125v

Everything else AUTO.

Was wondering if someone would please advise on what else I need to change that is set as AUTO.
And also any other BIOS settings for a 4.8 OC.

I have taken screenies of the BIOS in full to ensure nothing is missing. And uploaded to imgshack.

Sorry to upload so many images but thought better to than miss something important.

Any help / advice greatfully accepted.. (thanks)

Glad u are happy and your system runing strong now mate !
enjoy !

Thanks.

Just need help getting everything else locked down that should not be on Auto etc.

If someone would kindly help me, that is

Some setting better leave it at auto
