He's having issues with the board ( AsRock Z77 Extreme4 ).

BIOS #1 has 1.68V max

BIOS #2 has more voltage, but doesn't really work, looks like OVP/OCP kicks in

they need to take out the Extreme from that mb lol

Splave · #3 05-22-2012

nothing too special with chip #2 but it does run superpi 1m at 1.7v 6150mhz

so I was pretty pumped. Hit a wall at 6462 lol no scaling past 1.89v

need bbse less frequency and tighter for this next time

And got bored with this mediocre ship so threw the 7970 on just to get kinda a place holder score. D3d and LOD next time, also forgot extreme tweaker in bios ftl.

some more playing, this is 1st chip, 1.34v air 5ghz

Timings matter very little for 1m (ran with bbse 8-12-8-28 2600 and same score), change to 4gb bbse for pifast...was stable +.3 bclk higher then with 8gb team xtreeme...less imc stress perhaps.
