More silly questions. For you who have the Saber Tooth Z77, what BIOS do you have? For the 3770K's, do you know the country of origin?
Thanks, Gary

Congrats Steve for hitting the top spot.

Mine has Bios 1708, I expect it's far from the most recent but it works well for me so I see no reason to change it.

My CPU is not one of the latest ones which seem to require a lot less voltage but for your information it's from Costa Rica.


Paul.

The latest BIOS is 2003 http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_Z77/#support_Download_30 My CPU is Costa Rica too. I'm gonna update its BIOS since it's a new build, otherwise I'd leave it as well.

 

[Solarstarshines]

I'm running 2003 I updated it because of my sata port issue

I really don't think it mattered though I did have 1805 I think that is the one that came with the board

Good luck with it Gary, I hope they both run well for you.

Keep us posted

Will do Paul, running Prime at 4200 now, so far so good.

Thanks Tommy for the info.

You are welcome I am going to pick up my video card today myself damn postal service had my card for 3 days hanging out

Look how far I have to drive it's a 4 minute drive but there coming at the end of the day wow :sarc:

I just ran Prime blend for 10 hours at 4200 on the new Ivy B setup, all OK. The RAM did get real hot to the touch though, does anyone else's do that too? I though it was a quirk with Haswell, but Ivy Bridge does it too.

Hmm well Gary I don't OC as you might know but my RAM sticks get warm to the touch more than I would have thought but perhaps that is normal.

They did get real hot on a recent crash of the LC cooling pump but I am guessing it was because the CPU was running wild??

My ram doesn't feel hot neither does the block over the CPU I also feel the Radiator as well but it never seems to hit a temp that would make you feel it by hand yet

Cooling must be working for me

I'm running the newest BIOS, whatever it is. Version 2003 I think.

 

[Britton30]

Just a start, any higher clock and it freezes on the glowing flag screen.
CPU-Z Validator 3.1

Looking good Gary, sure you'll figure it out. A Guy

 

[Britton30]

Yar Bill, I wanna topple Steve and Paul from the top spots. I may have to set the board in the fridge though, lol.

 

[essenbe]

Nice job, Gary.

 

[Dude]

Nice OC Gary, go get em

 

[Britton30]

4847 may the be limit. Every time I try anything more it freezes on the boot logo or BSODs with Sytem_Service_Exception, or 0x7b, 0x7e, and 0x7f.

I'm just using BIOS settings and pissing with the offset, HT off and on, BCLK 100 or 103, etc. I even knocked RAM frequency down to 1414MHz.

 

[Solarstarshines]

What are your Bios settings and do you have CE1 Enabled and all the other power features off ?

also what is your LLC setting and your Manual CPU power still set to 300 or did you boost it to 350 ?

 

[Britton30]

I have all the C States enabled, I don't know what power features? LLC is on High, I don't seem to have any Manual CPU power.
