I have probably tried most all those settings to no avail...can no one else do 4.9GHz with the settings I have shown?

i just booted 49x 100

4c/8t

wprime32m 8.xxx seconds

fully stable...

Just flashed bios two times in a row with the Asus utility and it is still showing as 804. Seems anything related to Asus is always a pain in the ass for me. Never had any problems with Evga or Gigabyte.

Did you use the settings I have shown?

VCCSA should help with PCIE flaking as the system agent handles PCIE/DMI/Power controller etc.

There is no separate PCIE control which is why the systems are BCLK limited.

Mysettings for 5.2GHz (everyones will be differnt and I seem to need more vcore than others) This is a little flaky.. same settings drop BCLK to 100 though and its very stable...

Up to you. I have ethernet enabled and USB3... Serial port must be enabled for Bluetooth to communicate

APM All to disabled except PO by PCIE Enabled. (supposed to prevent Double boot when retrieving PCH pageS)

Ignore CPU voltage (thanks Splig) DOH!

Numlock off (if you want it on in windowS)

Option ROM Keep current... (this speeds up boot as you dont get the Intel/Marvell RAID splash screens)
Setup- Advanced


At 5GHz that is very stable upping the BCLK to 102.. its 75% it boots. When it does boot it runs any benchmark...


If CPUZ is showing CPU speed as 16x, try setting EPU to low power saving mode. restarting and then disabling it and restarting again. Set High Performance in windows as well. (Obviously)

With my settings yes. But I'm on a gigabyte board which does a few things differently.

Clear CMOS helps too with BIOS issues. The UEFI seems to like remembering old settings.

Just booted those settings at 4.7 with LLC to AUTO and less core trying 4.9

I have a 2500K though...

wPrime 1024 is running now at your setting minus some vcore and lower LLC.

Is running warm though at 52-54C missing that arctic snap we had :(


If you cant update the BIOS I would say that is the BIG issue right there.

Return it and get a GB board :)

EDIT: Crashed wPrime with a x101 (too low a vcore, more likely too low a LLC)

i forgot....

I'll try those settings this evening Neuro thanks - If I can't get it going still I will take a hammer to it for sure. Off to work...
