Managed to pass memtest 84+ without any problems with thoese settings but now i dont manage to come in windows it just reboots right when loading windows screen.

Without cpu gtl volt and nb gtl volt it wouldnt let me pass memtest84+ always rebooted around 21-22% now questions is are thoese cpu gtl,nb gtl volt most optimal in picture or should i change it to different values if yes then wich.

would be glad if anyone had similar setup or know wich settings i should go with and work from there lowering volt etc. And wich ones i should be focusing on.

also the new bios that you guys managed to do if it is a big improvement for me i would be glad if you could upload it ofc if its stable and safe with improvements on it.

This should be use for a 24/7 gaming setup that's why i'm gonna push it to 3,6ghz maybe 3,8 after i achieved 3,6

Alien Grey we talked in asus forums really thankfull for the help you gave me there and now i am back and i'm ready to overclock, why i'm here asking for help it doesnt seem to work out to well.

Thanks in advance
Try with NB Voltage 1.27V. The DRAM Clock Fine Delays should change. Check it with AIDA64 or EVEREST.
CPU Clock Skew Delay 300ps and NB Clock Skew Delay 200ps. AI Clock Twister Lighter and DRAM Static Read Disabled.
I keep NB GTL Voltage Reference at 0.67X but if you say that you've got more luck with 0.63X than leave it like that.

If you still can't get it to load Windows without rebooting/BSOD, up the CPU Voltage.

Check the CPU Microcode version with AIDA64 or EVEREST. Download BIOS 1002B-R3 and flash your board with it. Look if the CPU Microcode has been updated for your CPU. If there's an update for your CPU than never bother to flash it back with an official BIOS. Before flashing it do a Clear CMOS and load Setup Defaults. After flashing also Clear CMOS and Load Setup Defaults but this time also disable the power from the PSU and remove the battery for a few minutes.
