It's already badly damaged, at least IMC, so there is no use for it other then to try to die as a hero bringing me some hwboints. BTW, it's ES, so no RMA.

Hi guys. I need modded BIOS for my half-dead 990X, as I plan a suicide run with it to make it completely dead. I said half-dead cause it does boot at higher voltages: set vCore and VTT to 1.45, saved, took out my 980X, put 990X and booted. After few hours of testing, conclusion was that IMC is badly damaged and Cores are almost untouched. Core speeds of 4.8-5GHz were achieved at same voltages as before, but UnCore speed of 3.6GHz was barely stable at around 1.45V and 4GHz with almost 1.5V didn't boot, while it did at 1.375V before. Then the board tried to help me with my bad overclock and reseted everything to default. C1. The fun was over. Back to 980X. I would really appreciate if someone could mod BIOS F5C so it sets to vCore and VTT to 1.45 default.

Thanks honda, it does have some kind of stability too...

Here it is... 990X... Preparing for the last ride... Well, it's not all black. As I said, this is very good board... Memory timings as on s/s (RTL +2 +2) VTT=1.355V / 1.380V actual, vDIMM=1.72 / 1.715 actual. It is 0.04V less VTT and 0.06V less vDIMM then on R3E. Compare link here vCore=1.4375 / 1.4380V actual, 0.045 less then on R3E. This 980X is not bad at all.

Common sense is not my strongest side although I wasn't pushing it intentionally so much over 1.65V and it was just for CPU-Z s/s. There will be new chip only if I buy one, cause this one is ES, no RMA.

Thanks, and thanks for the heads up, I'll remember it good, well it will be carved in my memory for sure. I'm just sorry it never made the LN2 run, as I was planing one soon. This board just asks for it. I was just playing with VRM freq, it's low again. Tell it to the girls, as I almost feel like loosing one. Sorry to hear that. I hope mine would boot, so I can tell it's not dead completely, just crippled, veteran...

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. Yeah, I know, but never expected trouble around that corner. I was very cautious about VTT, as it is known to be higher then expected on this board. But it is always higher. vCore was spot on/slightly higher, and than jumped much higher. I know and accept the risk of overclocking, but this IS a problem with board.

Of course, but not at that moment. VRM freq was at 800kHz IIRC. Usually didn't power off while changing freq, but I never changed it in Win, I did it while idling in BIOS.

llc2 or whatever, higher one. But there was no load and it usually stayed as set in BIOS when idling, with some small increase in voltage under load, like 0.01, but no 0.05V.

I'm having... hmm... experience with this board... It is very good so far, seem like CPU's need less VTT and vDIMM to run Elpida Hypers at 4000/2000/7-7-7-20-1T. But, it also killed my favorite CPU OK, it might have died anyway, but it's like borrowing a car to a friend and it breaks while he was driving. You will not hold him responsible, but it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Booted at 5GHz at 1.55V. Set vCore at 1.6V, pressed Multi+ once and made CPU-Z s/s at 5.2GHz. Restarted. Booted at 5GHz. Then set vCore at 1.645V (my 990X ran benchmarks many times at under 1.65V), then I pressed Multi+ button twice. Took CPU-Z s/s at 5.4GHz. Rebooted. Noticed that vCore is 1.7V. Set vCore again at 1.645 and noticed that it does jump at almost 1.7V (checked with DMM). Rebooted. CPU worked next few hours, while I was trying to make it run at 4.2/4.0/2.0@7-7-7-20-1T unsuccessfully, then it just stopped at C1. Dead.

trudim se... ali tesko je u sred leta.

No, no, vice versa, but I got my answer... I need to have result(s) with extreme cooling, right? EDIT: BTW, what's with my join date? I wasn't even born back then.

Are there any rules to be part of any league? I see none at FAQ's, yet I get kicked from OC to Enthusiast every now and then (few hours to few days).
