Looking Detail Baby Monster "ASUS MAXIMUS V GENE"

[andressergio]

Hi guys I just bought a gene and my MB is not working as it should. It came with bios 813 and I ended up updating to 1101 so it aint a bios related problem.

I think something is really wrong with the voltage regulation and I'm also afraid that it will endup killing my cpu... So at default it will boot up to windows but randomly shutdown, even with 0 load, out of the blue, and boot up again... temp are at low 30s so it's all good. Though voltages are not, while watching them with cpu-z they will.jump up as high as 1.36v which is just stupid for default settings... choosing 1.36v for my usual overclock will endup having the board feeding over 1.5v on bios... and it will shutdown just after windows logo.
M4E was a smooth experience but sadly I told myself I wasnt gonna buy asus anymore after all the troubles I had with their ty rma... seems I ended up.doing another mistake... my previous asrock wasnt thr best board in the world but not as ty as this

did you load setup defaults and leave STOCK all and see if it does so ?

Got 0904 bios and downloaded 1101 that was posted on a earlier side, and AI Suite sad 0904 - 1101 and i flashed. Now after reboot it still says i´m on 0904. Strange thing

[Zeus]

What does your bios itself say? Maybe flash went wrong and you're still running the old bios? CPU-Z says 1101 for mine

[ante_ante]

Bios says 0904 and i was using this bios BIOS 1101 with modded Intel® RAID ROM 11.5.0.1414 done by stasio big thanks to him !!! Maybe i should try from Asus site instead

EDIT: Working now with the one from Asus website.

Yea i see, downloaded stasios bios again and flashed. No RAID driver is updated, have to do it manually then. It´s strange when it´s working for you

When ai say default, it's as load setup defaults, so everything is fully stock

The best thing to do is to use bios that already certified by the vendor. Unauthorized bios sometimes just give 55, 67 or even 00 headaches

flash the 1101 direct from ASUS site Dumo is right to mess with mods sometimes its leads to headaches
Sorry if i cause you this

just go back to the original BIOS certified

cheers and good luck

anyone knows why with this bios new ( 1101 ) the system come fine to 4,9 Ghz and more beyond need much ,much vcore to hit 5 ghz! ,anyone any idea? for example 4.9 Ghz 1.48 PRIME & OCCT etc stable ( 3570k ) and for 5.0 ghz give me 1.56 Vcore !!!!!! When before just run with ...1.48 vcore...I don't understand...any help?

same 3570 k here costa rica batch 3214C618

hersounds

you were stable at X vcore and with new BIOS you need a bump ? or you never been on 5GHz ?

my experience using offset vcore is that i had to give a notch of vcore on this 1101 to be solid at 5GHz again, i was getting freeze on BF3 and MOH games, and i play both hard with all ultra at native 2560x1440 and i spent hours seeing if was the timmings on mem, the VGA, but then i loose timmings happened the same, so it was vcore

im happy now i played for hours and all stable again

and i love the super speed boot

Thanks ASUS !!!

Just got the MVG myself. Nice looking board. I only have SATA2 drives or SATA drives and the MVG only comes with SATA 3.0 and 6gpbs SATA ports. Is it backwards compatible?

Click on it, update driver. Insert Asus CD and have it automatically browse through the CD. It will find the driver itself.

Too much overclocking for you :P

I have the same cpu as you, any pointers on how I can get 4.8ghz to 5.0ghz stable? I'm on watercooling as well. My ram is 2*4gig of Samsung 30nm. Right now I'm on Auto CPU overclocking at 4.6ghz bios 1011. Thanks.

lol well u know me

yes the tip for IVY is simple you will need a big bump on vcore to go to 5GHz stable...no more, For that reason as mine is stable on 1,51 loaded i use vcore offset so when i game it stays at 1,5 mostly and when im doing like now writing its on 1,25

[ChaosAD]

I guess you dont fold with this xcore, right? :P

[andressergio]

I guess you dont fold with this xcore, right? :P

i can prime an hour yes temps on 86C and came game for hours all games BF3, MOH, BC2, FEAR 3, DIRT3, SHOWDOWN, and all at 2560x1440 native res on my crossover

but yes i dont fold

[tool_462]

andressergio would you be able to post your settings? Just the voltages mostly, I have a MVG on the way and have fallen behind on what Ivy needs/is safe for which voltages.
