[Bios 2.0]
I can run (MFRss)1400 11-13-13-31-1T tight subs (1.73v-32M stable) but booting 2933 (divider) is a pipe dream,rising/dropping bclk in bios just .001@1400 will give "23" and a lot of "20"
VCCIO -1.15v @ AUTO it will jump to 1.25v
VCCSA-1.2~1.25v

I really enjoy this board for all my PSC/BBSE but validation with MFRss is a pain
P.S. I did try to bclk 86.5 and 2933 divider with no avail

Nick if you can get me some pointers that would be great
Thanks

If u see 23 , normally it means that ur imc max out already.

i7 3770K/Batch: 3251B562

5GHz@1,190V

hi guys!

I have this motherboard with an i7-3770k and i have a strange issue.

With the 3770K oc'ed at 4,7ghz, at 3dmark 11 i have only 7500 points at physics score

In other benches, all works perfect, only physics score at 3dmark 11 is extremly low

I tried two or three different bios but nothing at all...
I do a format and a clean install of windows 7 but nothing happen again..
Αlso, i tried all 3dmark's 11 versions, but nothing...

I tried the cpu ιn another motherboard and i saw 12500+ points with 3770k at 4,7ghz...

Why this happens??
Does anyone have an idea??

Hi everyone, especially Mr Nick.

I bought this board, I love it alot, I have one 3770K, nice enough (see printscreens), and I have 2x4Gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2800Mhz CL 11.14.14.35/2T memory.

From as I know, those mems are Hynix CFR double sided sticks, and I have trouble to run them at more than 2600Mhz.

Not even accept to start on XMP1,3 profile (2800/11.14.14.35/2T/1,65Vdram).

What can I do?

Those mems worked flawles on Asus Z77 Maximus V , even more than 1515 Mhz (3030Mhz).

Thank you.

Τhanks for the help guys!

Hi everyone

im having a few problems with the nick shih oc profile.
Now when i select anything over 4.0 i get a blue screen. The whole point of my buying this board was that it was easy to overclock cos it had the Oc profiles.
Is there something that im not doing that i need to do to get it to work???
i have a I5 3570k , g.skill ripjaws- x 8gb 2133, 775w power supply, gtx670sli and all running on a xspc water cooled system

Looks like your CPU margin is too low

Can u manually set 40x ratio and Vcore at fixed 1.25 volt ?

have u load XMP ?

Bios update version 2.30

[mav2000]

Does not seem to add anything other than a change in bios download location...anything else I am missing?

[um2802]

In situation of RAID 0 with two SSD - what controller to use for maximum performance - Intel or Marvell ?

THX

THX

You should use Intel ports for maximum RAID performance.

I think I have a big problem with this board. When I reboot the board powers off for maybe 2-3 sec before it restarts. Also, the last 2 days, the VGA LED is on. I don't have any graphics card just using on-board. I think I need to RMA.

Hi Nick

Hi Guys

I recently Purchased this Board because it can achieve pretty good memory OC.

Any Speed over 2000Mhz in bios at any timings and at any Voltage - I get error code "23".

Could it be that My CPU Imc that weak. Is it defective CPU or I am doing something wrong.

I have G.skill 2x2 GB 1600Mhz 6-8-6-24 PI Sticks - I can run as low as 7-9-7-24 at this speed - aftyer that NO go. JUST error "23".

I have a thread already opened "http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?287348-Memory-can-t-go-over-2100Mhz-Asrock-Z77-oc-formula-and-G.SKILL-F3-12800CL6D-4GBPI"

I wanted Nicks opininon before I RMA My "wonder" Processor.

Thanks In Advance.

Anybody letting go of this board + 3770k ( ?! )

Intersted in picking up the mobo and the chip if possible to play around with some maximum air overclocking.
