  1. Anyone had "unable to parse datafile" in AM3 with i3? I suspect that running 4 dimms is the case here, I noticed that AM3 wrapper shows "16 GB <OUT OF SPEC> DIMM".

    Funny, because with 2 dimms it showed "Unknown Unknown" properly.

    I take it that workaround is system info disabled but anyway it would be pity if I had to use backup that's more than 50k worse :(

  2. I think I fried my Impact, after last LN2 session it doesn't want to OC anymore - if I change settings from CMOS default eventually I get 41 code which afterwards is followed by 00 code with fans at 100%, after clear CMOS it boots (on stock ofc). Also the settings (multi, BCLK, voltages) I input in BIOS are not applied - everything runs on auto.

    @websmile gave me an idea that maybe MEI could be the issue here, and it might be back to normal if I could recover it. But no idea how to do it.

    I already tried flashing BIOSes 0205, 1302, 0002, 0014 - without success (with EZFlash or using USB Flashback). Rest of components - CPU, RAM, GPU - are OK, tested and working in GB Z170x SOCF. I also cleaned the CPU socket, checked that pins are OK, and checked RAM slots.

  3. I have on my benchtable GB Z170X SOC Force, had both OCF and Impact previously. I can compare directly OC of my kit of RipjawsV 3200C16, which do 3733C12 with 1.85 vmem with my 6600k on both OCF and Impact easily with tight secondary and third timings, while on GB they don't post higher than 3333C14 no matter what voltage or subtimings. Tried that on BIOSes F5 and F6h. I also tried AFR (Fury Black 2666C15) but they didn't go higher then 3100C12, higher frequencies = no boot.

    Main question - is it me or the board?

  4. Rules for stage 2 and 3:

    â–»Use any ASUS, Nvidia (reference) or AMD (reference) graphics card. No limitation in amount of GPUs.

    â–»Use 1 videocard core(s) in total.

     

    No idea what it means:

    - multiple cards allowed? Strange, especially when Massman touched this few posts above mentioning "single GPU"

    - dual-GPU cards allowed but one core disabled? - that might be my paranoia or overinterpretation, feel free to mock me :)

     

    Please clarify. :)
