Anyone why would i7 2600k not getting to above 5.02Ghz with any voltages, i can give 1.6volts, 1.65volts or 1.7volts and it wont go to 5.1ghz.
Its cooled by phase change.

I have also i7 3770k and same thing happens with it, wont go above 5.02Ghz on same board, i have posted screenshots from bios settings in previous page.

i7 2600k will do 5Ghz 1.380v and i7 3770k will do same with 1.390v.

[Martin.v.r]

no not 1.6v is a bad cpu

[rintamarotta]

Bad cpu, how come? Last time i tested on other board (Giga Z77X-UD5) it went to 5.4Ghz with 1.5v.
Problem is only with this motherboard and not with Giga.

I might replace this board with Gigabyte later if i cannot find solution for this problem.

can u share a link to the model of this ram? on newegg or amazon?

[Martin.v.r]

Hmm
You probably can not run the speed at 5GHZ an 2800MHZ
what does the bandwidth say now ?

Thats 1x 4GB you need to buy 2 ;-)

I buy in a local store.
I didnt had time to play with them, since my last post.
My 3770k + M4E P67 isnt able to boot at 5ghz last time i try...
Was with some G-Skill PIS 2300mhz ics PSC that was doing 6-9-6 2133mhz.
Already sold them.

Hi , NEW BIOS 3510

Maximus IV Extreme BIOS 3510
Improve system stability.

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...-ASUS-3510.zip

Aswering: i use 1.9v for 2800mhz :P only for benching

[Martin.v.r]

nice

[Martin.v.r]

Here is my report from bios 3510 '
small test to start with I7 3770k 4.5GHZ Vantage
I've got my vcore down to 1.35 old set with the bios was 1,385 with bios 3211
my ram also had less VMEM now I can take 0.5V of them at 2400MHz

can probably get more of my vcore, but the next thing I will go for a high oc,to start with, my mem also read much faster with the new bios

opdat
4.8GHZ 1.350v


5 GHZ jump whit vcore 1.475v whit the old 3211bios 1.5v
mem 1.65v bios 3510 vs 1.74v bios 3211

[Counter CS]

Also bios 3510 got divisor 2800 working like Bios 3208 :-)

Hi guys!

I am thinking about change my MB to this asus MAxiums 4extreme or extreme-z. Im owner of a nice 2600k which works perfectly 4500 at 1.24v 24/7. I had MSI p67 gd65 but my mb is dead so i need a new one Tell me plz is there any difference in OC between extreme on p67 and z67? Price is almost the same so which to pick?

[rintamarotta]

I would not recommend Maximus IV Extreme-Z for overclockers, i had 2 of these boards and bowth of them stop at 5Ghz. Gigabyte and MIVE P67 will do 5.4Ghz without much of problems.
But for 4.5Ghz MIVE-Z is ok.

Difference betwean P67 and Z68 is that Z68 supports :
1. Integrated graphics support
2. Use of Quicksync for video transcoding
3. SSD Caching

[ShArKo]

Hey guys how are you? Has anyone try the new BIOS 3603??? I need some help here, I buy this board and this is my first time using a 1155 platform. Can anyone help me to get a basic overlock???

Thanks guys

[Martin.v.r]

yes I use it

[ShArKo]

yes I use it

ok, and??? Is it work ok? Can you tell me something?

[sepol]

Thank u for this info. I will buy in upcoming days asus m4e p67 then , i can have it cheap so im hoping that it will be a good change

[klataa]

i will recive this beauty in 2 days, im curious which bios is best for OC and most stable? i know that its individual thing, but there are some good ones and bad ones? any tips?

[rintamarotta]

My bowth MIVE and MIVE-Z boards are running fine with latest 3603 bioses and 3770k and 2600k cpus.
MIVE running 5.2Ghz @ 1.425v (3770k) and MIVE-Z 4.9Ghz @ 1.40v (2600k) and theyre running pretty much all the time video encoding, no stability problems so far.

I havent noticed any differences in stability betwean the bios versions for bowth boards.
