Going back to 2202 seemed like a step back to me, so I went to an even more unofficial BIOS 3201. Now I can actually overclock! Unfortunately adaptive voltage still does not work. So at 4900mhz and stock voltage Cinebench will run (score 1006) but Prime95 crashes my system in less than a minute. For my personal satisfaction I don't consider my CPU stable unless Prime95 will run for 24 hours with no errors. I didn't have a ton of time this morning but Prime was stable for ~20 minutes with 1.25v @ 4900mhz.

Ok So I have 3202 now and I can flash when I get home. My question is, will this help with my problem? I am trying to overclock my 7700k on my VIII maximus hero and even though the multiplier is set to 49 on all cores my CPU will still only hit 4400mhz, and occasionally 4500mhz for a brief amount of time. So basically I can't overclock at this point Current BIOS is 3101 AI overclock tuner set to manual CPU core ratio set to sync all cores core ration limit set to 49 IA AC and DC load lines set to 0.01 CPU core/cache voltage set to manual 1.30v (I tried adaptive but that doesn't work at all) With these settings running stress tests Prime95 (26.6), aida 64, or realbench the CPU will be 4400mhz max. Why is it not overclocking?
