Hey there guys I have two things to ask about both relating to the x99 sabertooth board.

I am trying to up the cache voltage and multiplier but for the life of me cannot find a way to allow me to actually set them instead of dealing with the shitty ass autoset which keeps it locked at 3300.

On a related issue, I've been trying to access the ram voltage adjustment and it just keeps me locked under auto. I have a ram slot module that is really finicky at stock voltages and I'm fairly certain at higher voltages I'd get them running every time.

If anyone has this motherboard and can walk me through the steps(items needing changes) before swapping these settings I would appreciate the help.

I'm not a complete idiot btw I've spent hours overclocking this board and I see all the settings I need but the actual values keep being locked into "auto".

Ask @Florb we've been argueing ( in a friendly like fashion) over who's got the best motherboard......He's the one with the sabertooth.

 

And please if you want a response follow your posts, otherwise we can give you pearls of wisdom, and you won't know unless you check back in religiously.

Thank you for replying. As you might expect from my 1500+ posts here I am normally extremely vigilant over checking my topics, and this was posted right before going to bed.

I still am trying to figure the motherboard status out.

Sorry Florb isn't exactly a regular, and while I'm sure other members of this forum are using that motherboard, I don't know them. best advice I can give you is A) stuff around in the bios settings....A lot.

B ) Sit down with your manual, and go through it page by page

C) give ASUS customer support an email and ask them directly. Apparently they're pretty decent in any country not starting with the letters Austral.......

Yea I've done allot of sniffing, unfortunately over the weekend I'm not around it to check, and I didn't bring the manual with me. I've been searching and I saw something about adjusting system agent voltage, but I haven't been back to the bios to check it out.

Either way I was kinda hoping it was a popular enough board that people would know offhand enough to help. (Esp considering the YouTube reviewers recently building with it. Btw this was not my first choice [or second...] board but For whatever reason my cpu straight up shat on msi boards unfortunately.)

When I get back to my desk I'll have to pull up the settings and call them up.

And that's the problem. We all love the board, but it's way to expensive for the average consumer. Most consumers will look at a rampage board and go" yeahi'm awesome".... Boatds like the sabertooth and WS fall by the wayside for early adopters because they don't inderstand the difference.
