F5S bassplayer. Well you story is the same as I have on the ASROCK/ASUS board, took me 5 mins to get it dialed in at 2600... similar approach on the GB and it doesn't even post,. LED 15 and then shuts down. Tried for hour snow ot get it working properly at 2600MHz, seems I'm missing something vital for PSC. Weird for me is I can boot straight at 2400 7-11-7 rock stable, then loosen to 8-12-8 and adjust some subs and it doesn't post. Use same settings drop back back to 2400 divider, no more post... till I reset and load the profile...

Thx for the soft !

XPOWER seems to be shaping up with the latest biosses. Question is the 1.19 the same as the T19 ?

working with F5S sir oh mighty Steven. 2600C8 at 1.9Vdimm is a no brainer on the ASRock, sadly similar timings don't post yet on the GB... trying some more tonite

Nice work there, crazy sticks ! Is this a straight boot at these clocks Dino or at 100 and then up in winblows ? Struggling atm to get 2600 stable lol

Okay thx for the heads up retesting results

Nice one ! Well done !

Gigabyte has very loose tertiaries at 2933 and above, especially tRDRD and tRWRW are too loose to be efficient. Need to be dialed in manually for better performance. ASRock corrected this for higher efficiency since bios 1.43a. My Xpower doesn't even boot at 2800 with none of my sticks... lots of work required there for the bios team

Sick score !

My retail CPU which I used for reviewing has degraded 100-150MHz, from 4500MHz fully stable at 1.2Vcore till 4350MHz now at 1.15Vcore. 4500MHz works fine in Wprime as long as no stress is on the IMC. Thus encoding, Cinebench, 3D11 alll crash with101 or 124 error... Adjusting voltages doesn't help, seems IMC is flakey now at higher speeds ... max it was tested on was 2800MHz with 2 x 4GB dimms with voltages (ring, SA,...) on AUTO. Maybe that's where the culprit is on one particular board. Temps were fine, around 80°C max measured by Realtemp. CPU acts in a similar way on 4 boards...

MSI Z87 XPOWER 1.17 bios ( should enhance memory compatibility ) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/66364457/MSI/E7811IMS.117.zip

Yep great job !

Nice one Bruce !

I hate to say it, but good job utter sexyness

Darn dutch nagging overclockers !!! I find it better too loose then too tight and it doesn't post You are the ram wizard Sam, you know which buttons to dial

Madshrimps package arrived, thanks ASRock, ADATA, Cooler Master, G.Skill, MSI and Hello Kitty Sascha !

Nice one, 2600C7 on air nice dimms there...

Great one lads !

I hope it's a screamer Vivi !

:celebration:

which ram speed gun man ? this things scales a bit with ram frequencies/timings...

I hope you are not family Sam

You have to keep in mind that some sticks will not go as high as you want them too... if you can reach them accepted speeds then it's a good OCing kit even IF the potential is just 10% from the high stock speeds... If a low end kit can do the same speeds then it's an amasing Ocing one... Secondly it's not all about raw MHz as you know, I rather run 2400C9 with tight subs then 2600C11 loose as hell All stuff that HH and TT review get's highly rated... ow I spot a similarity in the abbreviations... double trouble There's no more bad hardware out there, which is a good thing not ?

Either Marine is good and her teacher too. Or WR ram clocks is kiddie play with the right hardware

Nice location and event, what is it with germans and Pizza ?
