Post your Cinebench R20+15+R11.5+2003 Scores **Don't Read The OP PLZ**

[harrynowl]

Well, I feel like I'm on the verge of 4.5 stability. I can get Post at 1.32v, but Cinebench insta-101BSOD's out. I spent the better part of an hour on the phone with ASUS support yesterday. The 0904 BIOS will not load my XMP settings correctly, I emailed G.Skill to confirm my old manual RAM timings, their customer support is f-ing amazing btw, so now that's all sorted. Going to call ASUS back today, their only solution for random BSOD's and the RAM was to "up the CPU ratio" which made my head explode as I had already told them the thing was pinned at 35 and that I would love nothing more than to bump it, but physics would more than likely not allow it and that I had to go in to work. Responding to their ticket-generated email shot back an indecipherable Taiwanese message :blink:

I've heard ASUS support was bad but that's pretty awful. Luckily in the EU the retailer owes us warranty service for a year.

 

101 is usually CPU voltage. What kind of heat do those things kick out. I managed to keep the 130W X5450 tame at 1.5v with a 280L.

have you tried using the 167mhz bclk

My last suicide attempt at 1.34v/1.31v cache only netted 83C max, my loop is doing it's job. Temps are outstanding compared to any other chip from the Haswell line I've had my hands on, aside from that golden 4790k.

:lol:

Tried keying in 127-135, that was a no-go fail to post. The BCLK and strap settings are vastly different from my old X58, and the RAM seems far more sensitive to BCLKery, especially with the jacked up timings. I have a sneaking suspicion I'll need to get the somewhat hidden RAM settings, beyond primary-tertiary, from G.Skill.

is that with the memory multiplier right down?

My 4690K is pretty cool. I'm seeing 65c under load

[runit3]

Only way I can get the damn thing to post is leaving the RAM ratio on Auto and choosing the end ram speed, which changes depending on your BCLK. Anything above 3000Mhz has failed to post. There is a strap setting for 167 (may be 165) for the CPU, manually keying BCLK fails no matter what I do Makes me miss the old X58 days where 143 was perfectly acceptable and my RAM was happy with 1733. I guess I could try downclocking the RAM for something between 125 and 167, but I doubt Cinebench wouldn't BSOD me. OCing the cache has oddly given me more stability, although I guess it makes sense with a monster OC (compared to turbo) on 8 cores.

 

Going to try a quick and dirty 167 run before work. brb.

[runit3]

is that with the memory multiplier right down?

167=fail to post with cache from 3.1-3.6, core at 4.498, next multiplier down on core is lower than 4.375 so it seems fairly pointless to go for a 167 strap. Somewhere in the middle is the theoretical sweet spot where I'll end up in the 4.425 range, which is really where I think this thing will max out period. I've only had one spot where 4.5 posted and that's with the 125 strap. Maybe if I can get my hands on every single last one of these damn G.Skill timings I can find a 4.5 Cine-stable OC.

 

I'll give one final push this weekend, but at this point I should really be prioritizing the painful process of manually down-volting everything to see how low/stable this OC can go.

That's pretty good that at stock speed or overclocked

that is a shame. you will just have to wait for a bios update that will hopefully imporve the overclocking of your chip

Ugh forever wishing I could get 4.8 at 1.35 volts but like I need like 1.4

you have an i7 though

With the loop that 0904's thrown me on I'm not hoping for miracles, at the very least loading XMP settings properly would be a step in the right direction. I'll see what ASUS has to say for themselves when I get home from work and clarify what the hell they were talking about in there email response.

 

"Problem:

- 10/16/2014 12:24:04 PM PT

XMP issuing incorrect RMA timings-and locks the CPU muliplier in at a very low frequency

now using manually entered timings as recommended by Gskill-on the CPU-4.375GHz

 Apparently all we need to do is bump up the CPU core ratio and that should do it. Just use the manually entered timings for the DRAM and up the CPU core ratio"

My board is already at UEFI 2105

 

Weird issue. I guess that's what you get as an early adopter

[bamerx98]

you have an i7 though

I know but like I need to get like 2cb points more to go up like 2 spots

Yesss. At least they figured out the critical USB keyboard error where half the keyboards in the world wouldn't let you get into BIOS on first boot LOL (half the keyboards in the world may be an exaggeration, but the internet exploded). no PS2 on the I/O

Add more to cache clock.

That's kind of amusing. Z97 is the first "relevant" platform I've owned since socket AM2 (I'd always be 1-2 gens behind when I buy it) and I'm enjoying the experience

[DildorTheDecent]

PLL overvoltage. If i enable that and set it from 1.8 to 1.9V could it get more valuable MHz from my 3570K?

no ps2 port is a terrible thing.

I have PLL overvoltage enabled on my i5. It helps a bit.

Saw this in a review for my UP7. [H]ardOCP editor used PLL. PLL Overvoltage is disabled on my end. 

 

Also their 3570K does 4.91GHz at 1.32V. I am super jelly.

Worth a try

[hemanhunter]

Here are my results...no oc'ing, as my current power supply and mb won't let me do too much of it...but the scores are ok i guess

the psu is fine but dat motherboard needs replacing

[DildorTheDecent]

Huh overvoloting the PLL (to 1.9V) actually allowed me to bench 4.8GHz at 1.39-1.4V. Sadly R15 crashed. Wish i had a wonder of a 3570K.
