For the first time in a while...I'm a little bit confused. I'm still running my 2500k @ 5GHz with the 1409 BIOS. If I upgrade to this new 3209 will I have any trouble, instability, etc...? I like testing new BIOS versions on this board but I don't want to damage things due to me staying on my current SB chip for a while.

Thanks

If your not going Ivy any time soon,i would stay away from the 3### series bios's,and stick with what you have.

1409 BIOS is great as morheen says you can stay on it, either way with 3209 you wont have problems at all the problem was with 3202

cheers

interesting... i only found 3209 for the sabertooth... for the mive neither nor @the beta section

yep it came on the original BIOS chips that Asus sent me, working great im on it since then

Is the max multiplier still 59x with Ivy Bridge and P67/Z68 motherboards?

[Panthols]

I have a few questions, I flashed to 3208 and am running a 3570k and trying to OC now... I can set the multiplier in the bios, disable speedstepping and all that, but CPU-Z reports that my processor is still at stock (3.4ghz). Realtemp is reporting 4.4 (what I have set) but I'm not sure to trust that. Also, the ROG CPU-Z seems to only partially work and the newest version of both vanilla and ROG CPU-Z (1.60.1, 1.58.4) hang on loading and I can't even force it closed. Am I missing something in attempting to overclock?

[BeepBeep2]

Run LinX or IBT and look at Gflops...that should tell you if your overclock is setting or not...
CPU-Z shouldn't hang...

Can you tell me, what is the maximum multiplier possible with a 3570K and bios 3208?

[Panthols]

Well, the OC seems to be working now, can only see it via realtemp though. 4.6 @ 1.225v and no other changes to bios. I'll run a few more things to check stability then I'll reboot and check the multiplier.

Just checked and the max multiplier seems to be 59.

4.6 @ 1.225 seems to be stable, peaking at 67c right now, so I think I'm pretty happy with that.

[andressergio]

tought it would be nice to post this

here my results with i3570K on the MIVE P67 B3 using BIOS 3209

never saw my samsungs@ 2400 this is lovely for me





and here its 4.9GHz at 2400 11-11-11-28 1T at 1,58125




at this last config i can game all games perfect now if i put above config there's no way not even uping vcore, or touching any other timmings on the mem, maybe any of the IVY experts can help me i wana play at 5GHz with mem at 2400, and i know aint mem cauz i already tried 5Ghz at 2133 and 2200 and no way, its a 5GHz problem and i know this is a very good chip with strong IMC that can do 2800

cheers to all
Sergio

A note to anyone upgrading to the 3209 BIOS posted above:

Make sure you have successfully flashed to a 32xx BIOS with an up to date ME before upgrading to 3209. I went from 1409 (SB - 2500k) straight to 3209 (IB - 3570k) and the BIOS flashed but the ME wouldn't update and all attempts after that were unsuccessful. I had to put my 2500k back in the system, push my 1409 BIOS from the other chip, then perform an upgrade to 3208 official. 3208 official upgraded the ME without any problems. The 3209 BIOS is great and loads / works just fine once the ME version is correct.

Thanks

I sent my MSI Z77 back to the store and got my money back
performance is very poor in all the tests I have run 2D an 3D VS old ASUS P57 maximus xtreme VI

I7 3770K run super whit ASUS maximus xtreme VI

[OcAddict]

Eureka think i nailed the problem after all, people with the problem off not getting the 2nd card detected in control panel try changing your cpu.
After changing the motherboard, power supply, testing with 2 x GTX580 from friend. I switched my Intel Core i5 2500K with a Intel Pentium G530 for testing and guess what, found my 2 x GTX480 in sli without a problem.
It is now day 2 with the G530 and no problems so far, looks like i'm getting a ivy bridge after all

on the 99% of the cases i saw with this problem and a stick of mem not detected or VGA was a bent pin not the CPU, even a tiny drop of thermal paste or a hair will casuse that on the socket

IVY@ 4.9 + patriots at 2200 9-11-9-27 1T





IVY@ 4.95 + patriots at 2225 9-11-9-27 1T





this is the limit not on mem but on speed of chip, i can game perfect at 4950 and mem at 2200 and 2400 but for 5GHz asks me 1,5

Cheers

martin

can u send me your settings for the maximus xtreme 4 i appreciatte very much

this are mine for 4.95 at mem 2225 9-11-9-27 1T

BCLK 101,1 x 49

PLL 1,8

VCORE ON BIOS 1.445 / LLC 75% VRM 500 (seem to need it)

VDIMM 1.65 (stock mem)

VCSSA 0.95

VCCIO 1.08125

i can do 2400 11-11-11-28 1T but will error from time to time so aint so stable

thanks in advance

5GHZ OC xtreme setup bios

vcore 1.4v =100 to 105BLCK vcore 1.4250v =106 to 109 here i ned PCI-E voltset in the bios ??I do not know WHAT voltset can help PCI-E, lose my ati driver goes off at 107

PLL 1,8 set it to 1.733/1.75v

VCORE ON BIOS 1.445 / LLC 75% VRM 500 (seem to need it) LLC 100% VRM 550

VDIMM 1.65 (stock mem) MEM hmm ? 1.65 to 1.725v 2200/2500MHZ cl?

VCSSA 0.95 auto

VCCIO 1.08125 1.1

5.1GHZ i ned 1.48v can run 32M but not vantage... http://hwbot.org/submission/2283065_

Try to loosen your timiming on your mem will certainly help your vcore

an I run 5GHZ 24/7 no c stat/loadline

amazing thanks will try !!!

[andressergio]

did it Martin it takes a great bump on vcore but im on water quad rad i can game perfect now and luv the bandwith of mem

Congratulations

try 11-13-11-30 1T perhaps 1.6725v I got self Just vmem drop on MEM, might be vmem drop makes your overclock unstable
and see if you can get vcpu farther down

[m4gg0t]

where do you get the 3209 bios?

[Malik]

From here

[m4gg0t]

Thx a lot, didnt see that on the page before. i currently have the 3208 running.

[OcAddict]

It was not the cpu after all, 2nd GTX480 died on me, it was the card all along.

Flashed my MIVE with the 2500K in it with bios 3209 and bought myself a 3570K. PC works fine but in bios ME version is 0.0.0.0 this cant' be right now is it?

[andressergio]

lets keep the MIVE alive !
