  1. Granted :)

     

    You are correct mate.

     

    My comment was on a more general basis. Let me put it more bluntly. Asus is the single eyed among the blind.

     

    From personal experience, dealing directly with most vendors during the last twenty years, only MSI and Intel have really stood by me in difficult moments. Their European service center is truly outstanding ( MSI ).

     

    Good luck with your issues mate.

    As for M8E, having one for a year now, has not provided me with evidence that it is worth its money.

     

    Impact, YES. M8E, doubtful.

  2. I did that,straight bsod at loading windows.

    Cannot wait for the Asrock to arrive,at least they take care of the customers.

    More than 500€ on a board which is supposed to be for overclockers and it's the most potato from all of them.

    Even with apex,you have to bin them in order to get one right :))

    Sorry mate about your issues.

     

    Just a small comment about "AsRock taking care of its customers ".

     

    Pray that you do not come to a point that you need them ( AsRock ). Then we can talk

    about " customer care ".

  3. K I fixed my XMP not working issue on the M8E with 3201 bios.

     

    If I flash with Sky Lake and allow the Kaby Lake compatible BIOS to initialise itself after the first boot with the same 6700K CPU, I always got these weird post code lockups. No matter what CPU or memory module was used. XMP was no longer working.

     

    If I flash with a Kaby Lake CPU and let the BIOS initialise itself with the 7700K in the socket, the XMP seems to works fine with any CPU or module afterwards...

     

    Go figure... :)

     

    Maybe, just saying :) , Z170 is not exactly compatible with Kabylake ( bios wise ).

    Maybe vendors try to push users to Z270.

    And maybe they are right.

    Because if all the line of Kaby's is fully compatible with Z170, what is the real reason to move to Z270 ?

     

    Maybe Apex is of interest to TOP GUNS. But to lower levels ?

     

    My final thought.

    Yes, it is a fact that Kaby's are slightly better clockers.

    And Z270 very high end boards better than Z170 very high end boards.

     

    But, as I said, besides the real TOP GUNS, who else might be really interested ?

  4. Well that sucks !

    Your kits are retail ? I saw a massive discount on Hof 4000 cl19 ,listed for 199$ atm.

    Nope.

    Bought them from Alex@ro.

    The white ones for the Galax GOC competition.

    Pretested and certified for AT LEAST 4000 / 12-12, with less than 1.9V.

     

    4133 / cl19 cost on Amazon.de something like 160 Euros ( if I am not wrong ).

    I have a set of those. Nothing special even on M-OCF.

    They need 1.96V real, for 4000-12-12 tight.

  5. Hi guys ,need some guidance .

    I skipped skylake generation and went straight for kabyfrom a 4790 k.

    I bought a M8E on which. I have 3007 bios. From what i could gather on this thread,best bios for mem oc on this board is 2201 & 3201 ( both have support for kaby ).

    Can you post some settings for 4000 cl 12 tight as i have a kit which is pretested 4133 12-11-11 so it should be no problem achieving at least 4000.

    Mate, 4000 on the M8E is a very wild shot. Good luck with that. I have two Galax HOF Goc mem sets, that do on Impact easily 4133 / 12-11, and they can't do 4000 on M8E however loose I go and up to 1.95V.

  6. OK,

     

    Spent a couple of hours, cause I had a peculliar issue ith my RVE 10 and bios 1503. After flashing, it was impossible ( at first glance ) to apply XMP. It was not even in the options ( for Heaven's sake !!! ).

    Flashed back to 1002 and all was normal.

    But, since I am a person that does not believe in ghosts, I set out to find out what the hell was happening :)

    So 1503 again.

    Now ! Take a seat folks and if you want, you might believe me.

    1503 on, no XMP. Not with the keyboard !!!

    Reboot, open the options window with the mouse and there is XMP. Nah, I am nuts - again...

    Keyboard, no XMP, mouse XMP appears.

     

    OK, cool. Apply XMP and reboot.

    Nope, no dice.

    OC failed...enter bios ...bla bla bla

     

    Cool again. XMP is on, BUT ram voltage is stuck to 1.20V.

    Really ?

    OK. Manually. 1.35V.

    Reboot. Nope - 1.20V.

    OK. 1.60V, 1.20VccSA.

    Nope, 1.20V and 1.00VccSA.

     

    Shut down.

    Power off, battery out, one minute.

     

    Voila.

    XMP appears with keyboard, ram voltage is correct, Vram adjustable, evrything works.

     

    Bullsh*t.

     

    Again.

    Flash from thje beginning.

    Exactly the same story.

     

    So no ghost.

    Same thing had happened only once on the M8E. But then it worked flawlessly.

     

    Maybe Asus is doing something wrong ?

     

    I know I certainly don't. Lol
