disabling mid HT cores seems to be the best combo so far but will test in more detail soon. Thanks @AKM!

most of the time vaseline on the fuses makes them go yolo which triggers usb ocp. Common case which requires either bios that has ocp disabled or soldering the fuses to bypass them (shorting them)

you managed to get usb overcurrent already?

doubt it

added 0062 ucode and no ucode for Apex on the first post

nice!

Pm :3

New 0055 bios allows 2+v vdimm without ln2 mode + noucode version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7pc91xn7ksxkucc/ROG-MAXIMUS-XII-APEX-ASUS-0055.zip?dl=0 VRM tool - run exe on boot/windows startup. New tool that might help push a bit more on the cpu side / run same freq with a bit less volts (15~mv less): https://www.dropbox.com/s/hkoydak1vm0zgpb/vrm2.zip?dl=0

yy its totally ok update to the 4 cpus I posted about above. 1x 90 SP doing 5.3 GHz R15 with 1.288v Load on water = 6750 R15 1x 83 SP doing 5.3 GHz R15 with 1.296v load on water = 6700-6750 R15 both scaled to 1.7~ v on load but didn't bother much 1x 77 SP and one 63 SP failed 5.3 with 1.35v and didn't test on ln2. 63 SP one had the worst IMC by far as well.

nah - didn't bench it

Also got X015E217. Will test for oc tomorrow

Foul ?

You get limited memory frequency of around 3800 if you don't use the legacy overclocking option without ucode. You need to test but cinebench benefits from having the ucode included

Try the official one that has profiles in it - previous ones dont have any advantages.

1.6~ and full pot with reference vrms was good for 1600-1630. 1.65-1.67v epower (no scaling above that) and full pot was good for 1670-1680.

thanks guys

9800GX2 seems to post as well even tho the card is dead (artifacts) Also, posted alternative USB drivers on main post with instructions for win7. Should work fine but will verify myself tomorrow.

nice! did you patch the memory back to the pcb? :P

thanks! :D

GTX 580 boots fine - gtx 295 is dead (totally forgot about it). Will try to test the 9800gx2 next.

One from the back showing the ground.

Thanks! Yeah no big difference with our current cpu so we tested on z390 since we had OS and drivers ready.

Will send some asap - ground is not ideal as this isnt the easiest card to epower but w/e ?

Tbh with all the tests today, I totally forgot. Will try to do tomorrow

^ this. haha thanks
