Asrock P67 Extreme4 UEFI & Drivers thread [Extreme6 & Pro3 owners welcome]

[eGGe86]

Stupid question, but where does the screenshots from bios save? F12 is the screenshot button, right?

[squick3n]

It saves to the USB stick you have plugged in,

[GregoryDonner]

F12 is the screenshot button, right?

Yes, and they're saved in Windows .bmp format.

P67 Extreme4 BIOS 2.10.

Patch XAI mouse.

[pkdick]

It seems that Asrock is not proposing any Bios Update for the P67 extreme 6 anymore: we are stuck at the 1.7 version while the extreme 4 is reaching 2.1...

[GregoryDonner]

That's one of the reasons why I went with the Extreme4--it's a popular board still making money for ASRock, which means it's more likely to keep them fixing problems with it. IMO manufacturers are churning out way too many models that they then have no financial motivation to properly support. The marketing mindset says "more models that appeal to more consumers means more money." Which translated means tech support = fail.

Less is more. Build fewer models that get better, longer-term tech support, and watch what happens.

Wich is the last unofficial , or official bios for ASRock P67 Extreme 6, and any link for download please?

Excluding 1.70 from official site.

Could an Corsair SSD Force Series 3 (S-Ata 3) 60 Gb, 2 pieces, affect memory ovk?
No want in any way to boot at 2133Mhz, the replaced SSD was Team Xtreem SSD G1, , with that, no problem with memories at 2133Mhz 8.10.10.28...

Thank's!

I doubt you'll find any modified UEFI for your Extreme6 anywhere on the web, and you shouldn't be using one if it did exist anyway (IMO way too risky). So the latest official UEFI is the L1.85 beta from ASRock on the Extreme6's "Beta" page:

Running absolutely fine on UEFI 2.10 here. Thanks for the heads up burebista

Thank you, I'll give a try.

I'm having problems with my USB 3.0 Drivers.

Motherboard: ASRock P67 Fatal1ty Professional
Drivers (Before): 0.96 > 0.105
Drivers (Now): 0.89

They are causing multiple BSOD and have been since day 1. They got worse after using 2 Lian-Li EX-503 Enclosures with USB 3.0 Connection. One would drop out and go under 'Unknown Device' and the other would connect/disconnect every 5 seconds. The mouse Fatal1ty port would cause a BSOD every 20 minutes, even untouched polling rate or adjusted. I have installed 0.96/0.98/0.101/0.104/0.105 - They have all caused BSOD in under an hour (0.104/0.105 = Worst). But my temporary solution is drivers 0.89, they have stopped BSOD's and don't have any conflicts or issues with anything USB 3.0 that's connected. Also the newer drivers have major issues with USB 2.0 products as they don't install or work (WiFi Adapter, Other hard drive enclosures, Headphones (USB), etc.

Yes I have the latest drivers for other controllers/hardware & updated BIOS. Have tried different BIOS features with Legacy USB 2.0/3.0, no change. I wish you could force the USB 3.0 ports to work as USB 2.0 as I don't care for the performance benefits, as I can't even use them.

Now it works again, I tried all bioses from windows update mode, seems UEFI bios update is better!

Thank you my friend, I'll drink a glass of red wine, for your health!

EDIT:

So, a question for all of you, guys, those in the picture are mine 24/7 use,system specifications.




Cpu Vcore 1,29 from bios, load calibration level 1 so no more than 1,31xx real voltage on max load

VDram voltage is 1,56 Volts in bios

CPU PLL Voltage is minimum setable in bios so is 1,586 volts

I tried memory to 2133Mhz with CAS 7, even at 1,65 volts dram, and no succes...

I will stay at CAS 8.

So, mine question is:

What is the maximum safe value for multiplier (CPU ratio, actually is 100Mhz with 48X for 4800Mhz)?

If I set 102 or 103, or 105 Mhz, etc, for overclock memory lowering by example at x47 or x46 ratio?
I want to have by example memory at 2200Mhz cas8, or 22xx cas 8, but for this need bigger than 100Mhz...
So let's say 105 Mhz is safe for 24/7 use?
No want more than 4800Mhz for cpu.

[eGGe86]

I've got really different answers to this question; what LLC level "should" be used when OC'ing with offset mode? Some say 4 or 5, some say 2 or 3. What is the most "stable" level to go with? The goal is to get the vcore in load as spot on as possible what it is set in BIOS, right?

Here is some data that I've collected. The stock VID when running prime95 is 1.261 according to real temp. When I've the system OC'ed at 4.5Ghz, the VID goes up to 1.3661 while my Vcore is bobbing between 1.312, 1.320 and 1.328. I've stated that my CPU needs 1.320 to be stable. In BIOS I've +0.020 and LLC level at 4. So is this ok? Or should I set my LLC level at 2 or 3, and put the offset at something like -0.050 to achieve that 1.320 in load?

Hopefully you guys understand what I'm after here

[radier]

I am using LLC 4.

My VID in idle is 0,965-1V and in load 1,361-1,4161V

This is a issue I bought up a few weeks or so ago, Etron 1.104/105 drivers are buggy. Switch back to 1.101 drivers and most of your issues at least should go away.

Maximum BCLK will vary depending on the CPU and other hardware in the system. I've got 104.5MHz stable before, but there are some users where 101MHz isn't even stable. Generally, I set BCLK to 100.1, and leave it at that. This way you get as good as exact numbers to work with, something you won't get when leaving BCLK @ 100 due to minor clock generator variations.

LLC 3 seems to work best for me.
But I need to do more testing.

Thank you for reply!
I'm askimg about safety for system(hardware) and components, nor stability.

So, let's say , I have 105 BCLK, is safe (if is perfect stable), to keep this value for 24/7 using?

Wich are the tension for bclk(to adjust in case)?

Thank you.

[Ket]

Adjusting BCLK pushes a lot of other busses out of whack, while 104-105MHz may be stable, I wouldn't recommend running higher than 102-103MHz 24/7.

Thank you, so 102 BCLK is safe for 24/7 use, with no other overvoltages in bios (set on auto, and measured like in upper printscreen), excluding VCore set at 1,29 volts in bios.

New BIOS for P67 Extreme 6, 1.80 :

Update Raid ROM.

http://europe.asrock.com/downloadsit...6(1.80)ROM.zip

Is it possible to have :

Modify CPU ratio real-time adjustment in OS.

Like with P67 Professionnal ? Boards are nearly the same


edit : For P67 Professionnal users, L1.84

Modify EZ OC table.

[squick3n]

I'm having trouble downloading the latest driver package. Megaupload says it's unavailable

[Ket]

Probably a server thing, I'm getting temporarily unavailable messages.

[squick3n]

Still getting an unavailable message for the driver package

[Ket]

Odd. I'll upload the package again at somepoint later today.
