If an Asrock mobo would give me better clocks I would try one but I HATE the bios interface, I would even prefer an old DOS-based bios than the laggy thing on the Extreme9.

This could be something else though.

The asrock could just be reporting a lower voltage, and supplying higher then specified.

You will need to use a multimeter to get the exact voltage.

Yeah that's right Marc, I know what your saying coz that's exactly how I'm finding things. I havnt tried the earlier asrock extreme boards but the extreme 11 is only new and has come a damn long way. There are only 2 bios versions so far and both are good as far as iv found so far. No lag, no bugs accept I turned the sound effects off. Lol

I'm not denying that the RIVE is a great board, I'm just saying that the new extreme 11 is freakin amazing! And better than the R4F from what iv seen in my tests and situation here.

Pete - yeh I dunno about the extreme 9 but this e 11 board is insane!!!! Lol

Yeah that's possible, but how much variance could there be ?? Big difference between 1.28v and 1.4v. ? Lol. Both load line calibrations set same way for minimum vdroop and loss / drop under load..

Does the bios lag? Arent they uber expensive too?

Regarding voltage - what else could a mobo do to influence clocks so greatly?

tr1cky271 · 12th August 2012, 8:49 PM

To me, the Extreme 11 appears to be solely marketed towards multi GPU enthusiast's. I suspect 4 x GTX680 in QUAD SLI each with 16x would kill it in 3DMark11. There are no other features that suggest to me that it will overclock better than any other motherboard on the market and as it stands, they only offer a 3 year warranty.

My SABERTOOTH X79 is good for 5 years.

I dunno aye, all i know is that its heaps better for me for some reason over my last board. Yeah Bios is good, no lag or bugs that i can see and you can turn sound effects off. It is a bit expensive alright but its only just been released really, it has lots of extra "expensive" chips on board though so common sense would tell you that is what has pushed the price up.

Look up specs and read all the extra on board chips it runs..

Yeah i agree. That is one of the biggest reasons i bought it for also, in addition to the massive power phase system and design, i run 4 way SLI.

Nah man I have had my splurge for now, until something new gets me excited again. I think I have done as much as I am going to do with this rig. Big Kepler and Ivy-E have not been sighted yet so maybe 6 months or more away ...

I was going to try some different rams but its really not worth it now, I have passed 13k and I dont think I will reach 14k without cold, so the incentive has been reduced somewhat.

Is that a <1min prime? How long does it last at that speed/volts?

aussie-revhead · 13th August 2012, 4:54 PM

Does anyone happen to have a set of these rams? Can you tell me what chips are on them? These could be the next item of interest for us bargain hunters.

EbolaWarfare · 13th August 2012, 9:48 PM

Most likely samsung, don't think Hynix is doing 8gb dimms?

aussie-revhead · 13th August 2012, 10:06 PM

I found a set with Micron chips but they are overses, I want to know if ours have Micron chips or other.

Yeah that was about 40 seconds just to load it up.. Ran Prime for 6 hours while i was home prior and no errors. I don't like leaving my PC on and especially testing while im not around so that's longest i could do.

Yeah Pete, i fully agree. Im done also with changing and trying shit, whatever i can get with this setup is gonna be it..

EbolaWarfare · 13th August 2012, 10:13 PM

Yeh could be micron too actually. Buy crucial and it'll almost definitely be micron, if that's what you're after

aussie-revhead · 13th August 2012, 10:26 PM

Do Crucial make a budget stick? Those G.skills apparently have the same Microns as 1866 Crucials, which are supposed to overclock to 2133. Thats 8GB per stick for $47 each !!

Edit: $45 per stick

Can someone with an Asus X79 board tell me what their error code display says when everything is up and running.

Mine says AA, is that normal?
