Solved Asus and 3770k OCing

[Britton30]

You're welcome Patrick, they will always have the most up-to-date drivers. In fact when I get a new board, I don't even open the CD, I download everything from ASUS and pout them all on a USB drive.

 

[N00berG00ber]

yea thats a good idea....

 

[AddRAM]

The network drivers at the Asus site are Intel drivers. same thing.

 

[N00berG00ber]

ok so i got everything runnning. i just need to install some more things. 2 things i noticed. 1 the boot time is a lot slower then my AMD rig (drivers are out of date, but still....). 2 i was playing around with my RAM and trying to to get it to run at its rated speed, and for some reason, no matter what i do in the bios, it no worky.....

1 the boot time is a lot slower then my AMD rig

POST or Actual from Windows loading?

2 i was playing around with my RAM and trying to to get it to run at its rated speed, and for some reason, no matter what i do in the bios, it no worky.....

Used the XMP profile? Updated the BIOS?

You can find a lot of info for this board at the ROG forums.

 

[N00berG00ber]

actual windows loading. and XMP does NOTHING! this ram is refusing to run at any other speed then 1600 11-11-11-31. even tho its set in bios to its stock 1866 9-10-9-28......

This could be a Bios update issue try that first and see if the bios effects stability that is always where you need to look first

Some of these boards have been shelf bound for over a year and most likely never been updated even though it went RMA refurbished or what ever

Rule of thumb update everything first then play with settings it only makes sense if you are looking for the full power and use of a system

 

[N00berG00ber]

the bios was already up to date..... i rolled back to aan earlier version, and sam issue. nothing sticks.

 

[Solarstarshines]

Try each stick alone see if it's the ram

 

[N00berG00ber]

im calling that its the mobo. not even the voltages are showing up in bios. DAMN! WTH?

 

[N00berG00ber]

RMAing it with asus now!

 

[N00berG00ber]

yea... this mobo is way messed up. cant read all the specs about my CPU, still not giving voltages, and i cant change any of the CPU settings.

 

[N00berG00ber]

found another problem with this board. its reading the temps wrong, so my fans are not working correctly. whats weird tho is that core temp is reading the correct temps.... weird

does 62C on the hottest core sound hot at stock settings? i think it is..... it could also be wrong, but AI SUITE is showing me 40C and core temp is showing 62 on the hottest. but when i stop prime95, in about 2 seconds, it immediately drops to 30C....

HW monitor read the same as Core Temp, but did the same thing with the temps as soon as i stopped it.

this board is SO messed up.... lol

 

[Solarstarshines]

if it was the stock cooler those are fine kinda high if you have water on it

Here are my temps at 4.8

 

[N00berG00ber]

damn.... i think its this board being retarded.... i hope.


but on the plus, MAN is this thing powerfull! games are SO MUCH smoother! so far playing bf4 and FC3, im getting constant 60+ FPS on max settings in bf4 and a LOT higher settings in FC3. that 6350 was definitely bottlenecking my card. i cant wait to actually OC this thing and get it a little more optimized.

I personally won't use AI SUITE. For me it has never been nothing but a head ache.

i use it to just monitor quickly. when i OC im going to go by core temp

How many programs are you using to monitor temp's? Only use one as it will cause false readings. If you must have more than one on your pc then use portable version's of HWinfo64 or HWmonitor but don't run them together. AI Suite is no good though and more trouble than it's worth..

 

[N00berG00ber]

only using 1. core temp.
