MaximusIV-Extreme Thread

[PiLsY]

I need some help from the MIVE gurus on this board. I just replaced my UD4-B3 with a MIVE and I love it...but I'm having a hard time figuring everything out. I'm trying to get my chip stable at 5GHz but it doesn't seem to like anything I'm doing. Here's the quick rundown:

- Chip passes 20 loops of LinX at 4.9GHz with 1.392v loaded and internal PLL overvoltage "OFF". PLL voltage has been set to 1.7v and VCCIO is at 1.0v, everything else is left on auto.
- PWM is set to extreme with a frequency of 350 and LLC of 75% in all cases.
- All C states are disabled
- GSkill DDR3-1600 cas6 @ 1600MHz 1.5v
- BIOS 2001

I have tried up to 1.45v and the chip just won't pass LinX for more than 7 seconds before it locks up with a 101 BSOD. 3DMark11, Vantage, and 2006 all complete in loops without fail. Normal operations work just fine with 1.425v (1.416v loaded). Internal PLL is still off but it makes no difference if I set it to on. VCCIO has been adjusted up to 1.12v and PLL dropped to as low as 1.65v. Am I just missing something here? Should I enable the C-States or is there a voltage I need to tweak?

Im finding a very similar thing but getting 124 bsod's. I've moved from a P8P67-Pro which was stable for months at 5ghz but couldnt run the black pair of slots over 18.66x divider (no post with any kit i tried). I've now got 16gb stable at 2133mhz on the M4E but cant push over 4.8ghz. Im also unable to use offset voltage because of 124 bsod's at idle and finding I need more voltage at the cpu for equal clock speeds. Its been a real disappointment so far and Im considering swapping back and putting up with the ram at 1866mhz rather than lose several hundred mhz cpu speed and power saving features.

I've been trawling forums trying to find tips - despite messing with all sorts of voltages/memory timings/digi+ stuff its still most stable with everything at auto and xtreme mode enabled.

I also cant boot with LLC 100% using offset voltage, it reboots just before the login screen.


This board is undoubtedly awesome with memory clocking though, it worked immeadiately with 4x4gb 2133mhz. However it leaves the impression of being a true benchers board and isnt really something I can live with 24/7. On the Pro my offset for 5ghz stable is +0.80v (1.08v idle). The M4E needs +170 to avoid 124 bsods at idle right down to 4.6ghz (1.28v idle) - offset just doesnt work right.

I may try a PSU swap to see if it just doesnt like my psu for some reason (910w silencer - seasonic based), though its a massive operation as ive got everything zip tied in.

PiLsY why use offset ? i have the same thing chips degrade or settle over time, i runt my chip that its a x56 and x50 stable INT PLL OFF at 1,425 with HT but since i did the Parking Core mod i need a bit more food so i run 1,435 and my patriots 16GB 2133 CL9 push the IMC so well, thats what is needed to be stable, but i dont run prime or linx over hours as it was proven for me and others that u can be gamming hard and have BSOD so i just observe the PC On the week, as its my only PC i use it for all, for download overnite and gamme heavy gammes with VGA OC'd so thats it if i find a BSOD i just correct and test again using a bit of vcore. OFFSET volts need way lot of vcore on idle to be stable thats also tested not only by me.

cheers and good luck

Works perfect on the Pro though - I have both set up at the moment and can swap the cpu between them. I feel far happier running 1.53v load if its dropping down to 1.08v idle. There's no way Id want to run over 1.45v 24/7 on manual fixed voltage. I just really expected the M4E to be everything the Pro was and more.

Definitely no 124 idle problems on the Pro using low offset and 100% LLC at 5ghz. Then again you cant set extreme phase on the M4E and enable offset, you can on the Pro.

I need to test with a different psu but both my units are seasonic S2 based so im stuffed really. It feels power related and fiddling in the digi+ settings can make it better/worse.
