good more LLC levels (I was wondering why they skipped between 0 and 60, and then had 80 and 100, there should be 20 and 40 there too! lol, and small BLCk improvement, but i haven't tested much yet.

put a fan over the VRm heatsink and you'll hit 4.9ghz lol that is what i did when i was stuck at 4.8 lol lol I think there should be a new BIOS release soon, no? Should fix a lot of these issues. But yea I am hitting 4.8ghz with average setup too.

OBR you know LLC is reserved right? 0% is strongest. But yea my ES required a lot of load votlage to stay stable. Man you have some odd issues, my settings stick fine. Maybe they will release another BIOS soon, F4C doesn't do much to improve anything tho. All i have that doesn't stick is multiplier and that is when easytune is loaded with F3. You guys see this? its Hicookie: http://lh4.ggpht.com/-RUP8u476c10/Tt25ZviMaHI/AAAAAAAABJA/_Bh3rgG8Stw/s1600-h/ImageUpload.org2560-2%25255B4%25255D.png

your not the only one, anyone see F3 was removed from the official site?

nice CPUs!

wait no i tested more, the problem is Easytune. you can disable C1E, in BIOs it might not say 4.5ghz when you set 45x, but when you go into windows its 45x, but when easytune loads it drops to 38 or 39x, so if you uninstall easytune, it wont drop lol.

Cold on the CPu itself lol. I know a buddy with retail who hit 5.0ghz with F3, otherwise i don't know many others with the same board. but do this, try without CPU PLL Overvoltage, see if you can hit 4.9ghz too, with it disabled? I hear it helps at high clocks, but i can do without it and have the same frequency. When you say multi not sticking, you have C1E enabled, right?

lol well i tried for my max clock without it enabled, and i was able to do it, idk if it is even working on ES CPU properly? Or is it?

excellent review mate!

did you test with pll OV disabled to begin with? how much lower of a multi weer you left with?

it doesn't require a fan, but just like shamino suggested at XS in the R4E thread, a fan over the VR heatsink helps for that little bit extra.

the voltage regulator the VRM or VR.

I was able to max at 4.9ghz yesterday on air with a fan over the VR, should help with a lo9t of boards. I saw shamino suggested it for higher air/water OC on the R4E as well. His comment at XS.

nice finds man, thanks!

hey try not setting the CPu PWM frequency, see if that allows the voltages to stick.

some of these 3960X retails are great on air/water. Looked like a lot of fun! Not mine: http://cdn.overclock.net/7/7a/7a3dfa76_123.png http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=i7-3930k5ghz1.384vcori2ubm.jpg

A bit higher than before, http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2106995 keep the improvements coming.

yea I went back as well. but wait do you guys get better memory OC with F3N?

hmm interesting, worth a shot

anyone get odd results when comparing multiplier vs stock BLCK to lower multi and higher BLCK divider with stock 100mhz blck? You gotta keep memory and CPu speed constant, and just change up the dividers and multis.

wow

nice job!

Yea it wont go higher than 2.7-2.8 on air, i just saw a chart AMD made somewhere it said to expect 3-4ghz CPU NB clock under LN2, so i was wondering. But i know for high GHZ you keep it low, but i guess if you were aiming for performance you might wanna raise it, no? I guess this is the only time anyone goes for BD performance.

Did you try adjusting the CPU NB to better relate to your clocks? Under LN2 supposedly you can really turn up CPU NB for a lot better performance, though i didn't try. Odd issue.

yea issue persists on all boards too.
