owi can u put a better screen i cant see anything

why using so low PLL ? VTTDDR is important ?

Sorry bro I know it is kinda painful to see my pics.
I paid photobucket for one year account previously it did allow me to upload @ 1280x1024 but now they limit it to 1024x768 max without reason and notification. Later i will change to another image hosting site once my photobucket expires next month.

Okay reuploaded to imageshack @ 1280 x 1024


* you might need to scroll your mouse to zoom in or download the img and watch with your photo viewer.

The CPU PLL doesn't help in overclocking.

Just got the EK MVE waterblock installed recently for aesthetic purpose

thank you very much

and what abouth VTTDDR ?

2 days ago i passed memtest 200% and hyperpi many times today wont...that is what makes me mad

i tried some mix of your settings owi i was failing even hyperpi i refuse to be above Latency Boundary 6 at 2666 i even used it on the formula with 2800

afaik VTTDDR auto is different on every BIOS version. I didn't touch anything on it. BIOS 1707 is 0.825v auto.

memtest you must launch 8 windows to stress all 8 threads of 3770K, HyperPi is not so stressful, stressing less than 50% of RAM only.
I would use IBT/LinX w/AVX (110GFlops+) or prime95 27.7 or newer custom blend 90%+ RAM to confirm stability. Otherwise, it is all fake.

Memtest 4 windows stresses al 8 cores at 100% using 1.65Gb on each of course

Btw u notice any bios better for ram ?

Other people suggested the 0022 to work well with any IC.
But for me, the latest 1707 works perfectly and easier for stability test.

[owikh84]

Seems like increasing vPLL is helpful on stability and reducing vCore.

1 hour:


6 hours:

Looks better than when vPLL is set to (1.35 - 1.8)v which failed in less than 2 hours.

[andressergio]

Sorry Owi i dont follow the Lynx torture test cauz i passed linx before and failed games later, and not only my experience

i think each one uses the methods of testing and stability prefeered in my case while all goes fine and none of the 22 games i play crashes im ok, of course i do memtest and have plenty of experience of testing...

i just flashed to latest BIOS and seems nice, mem went fine etc, i did it on the other BIOS chip of the mobo

Thanks for your help

Guys im having a super weird problem with the M5E and my tri sli setup

Ive checked all that i can i also reinstalled my OS but this is getting real weird

Cards are crashing in a heavy game after a while that this can be heat, for now im on air soon on water, but today i was watching a movie on the TV with the PC idle for 1 hour or more and suddenly the "LCD said no video check signal" i thought i forgot hybernate off but not, PC wont wake up and mobo display shows A0 wich is perfect, so i restarted and all fine. I tested from bios 022 to latest and still the problem persists, i have the PCIe connected to the mobo as recommended by ASUS and followed every rule and all my experience, PC is stable mem is stable...dunno

Some can say PSU its a AX1200 and its not even warm

maybe mobo is borked ?

is there any way i can disable thunderbolt ? cauz i disable it on bios 1707 but all the other parameters still can change are not grayed when disabled...

iGPU is on Primary Display PCIe...

Any help i would appreciatte very much
Cheers to all
Sergio

id play around with voltages and vga related items,
vga tweakers paradise 3.3aux,plx volts, under System Agent gen 3.0 preset, cpu volts -VCCIO in synch with skew driving volts and increase, even pch
use a significant increase or decrease in settings so u can easily see which one it is most sensitive to

Thanks mate for your fast reply !

how much is safe to go on each, or at least on 3.3aux ? im runing my PC for 24/7 not benching thats why im asking, soon cards will be on water, each gpu connected by the EK bridge not full cover but im trying to resolve this before i put the blocks, cauz its very weird

Cheers !

i have my cards on water now, i can game at 1320 core each wont crash anymore due to heat...but the lost signal on LCD keeps happening specially on BF3---i have a complete reinstall of OS using drivers 320.00 beta and same im using preset 1 for PCIe that seem the best its score much better on 3DM11, i tried all for now and kinda lost...cards are strong each performs awesome the problem started on the tri sli...

RAM tested 1,5 hours using HCI memtest
CPU tested
each card individually

do you still have those issues ? see sergio.. 3way sli is another ballgame from single and dual

kinda tricky since youre on a different mobo.. and you may have to increase system voltages more than youre used to.. specially if the mobo voltage regulator doesnt auto increase accordingly

sounds like instability issue.. more voltages or less clocks

Am I the only one having problems loading OC profiles with the 1707 BIOS ? ( BIOS crashes ( freezes ) when trying to load a profile )

Weird bud but seems memory problem the M5E gets those freezes on bios when u push mem

[hersounds]

I try the 1707 mod in kinping cooling really have good performance without any bug

Modded bios 1707 - http://rghost.net/46124291

Sata Orom - v. 12.6.0.1867

MEI firmware - v. 8.1.30.1350 (FB will not flash it. Use FTK tool for flashing whole bios with MEI firmware embedded)
PowerManagement patch (for correct AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext working. No any effects for non OSX).

Flash with ROG flashback procedure (USB flash drive + pressing the button), to avoid "security verification" warning. Or use FTK tool.

only for the gene ? not for the M5E ?

[BenchZowner]

BIOS mod is fine of course, works fine on my other board and on my friend's boards, sadly, my 1st Maximus V Gene passed away a few moments ago...
My luck!

guys anyone used on of this SSD on the upper rised card por mSATA and mPCIe ?
