Offset works perfectly on the Pro, so something is definitely different about the implementation between the boards. You can forget about offset voltage at anything over 4.2ghz on the M4E unless you ramp up the offset insane amounts to avoid idle BSODs. Im actually on a minus offset on the Pro (due to LLC) up to 4.6ghz, then all I need is +10mv / +25mv / +50mv / +80mv to do 4.7ghz, 4.8ghz, 4.9ghz and 5.025ghz respectively.

I can hit 5.25 for validations on the Pro using manual voltage 1.55v in bios with 100% LLC for 1.544 idle in windows. Instant desktop BSOD's on the M4E at 51x or higher no matter the volts.


Like I said before it feels like there's a problem on the power plane somewhere - the only thing I can think of is that perhaps the board doesnt like the older Seasonic S2 based PSU's?
I had trouble at first trying to run 50x on my MIVE with offset vcore and LLC@75% vs. fixed vcore at ~1.42v/LLC 75%. I seemed to be getting idle BSOD but I found that running with more vdroop... LLC@50% and offset vcore seemed to clear up my idle BSOD's. BIOS was set to +75mv. Load vcore measured ~1.411v with my Fluke while CPUZ and ASUS Sensor whould alternate between 1.412/1.424v while running WCG (~4hrs).
