Pretty sure when he says "Cpu is the best i had on air," he means ambient testing. So could be an AIO, custom loop or Air cooler, but I doubt it. CPU is crazy good so it hardly matters

Nice guide DC, is 4933c14 faster than say 4233c12 waza 32m ? or not possible on Apex X

Solid performance, GJ L.Noob !

I heard someone during Steponz' 002 stream mention that there order went through using EDGE, only after trying all normal web browers

It was very hard to find a good cpu around launch when these ln2 binned cpu's from Roman appeared. That same cpu was bench stable at 5.0 @ 1.340 / 5.2 @ 1.465v non avx

Thats pretty good actually, this cpu was originally €1000

Maybe one of these fits the bill ?

No one could of seen this coming, give us time to process our emotions ?

That last kit is Genius ! Not sure I'll prefer it over these, but definitely worth a try if I can find em" Edit: when searching for the BOURNS trimmer tool I found this book for those interested enough https://www.bourns.com/docs/technical-documents/technical-library/trimmers/publications/onlinepotentiometerhandbook.pdf#page=51

What bios are you trying to flash, post a link or pm me and I'll get it working for you. As for renaming in 7zip I'm not sure what you mean. All you have to do is if bios file is compressed is Right click with mouse go to Extract All and literally rename the file by clicking on it till blue ( or right click select "rename" ), the file extension will not be selected so go ahead and select the entire file and like Phobosq said rename to Creative .ROM or M9A.CAP " official M9A bios - M9A.CAP modded M9A/M10A bios - creative.rom"

Yeah, XP64 usually has an advantage when using 3-4 cores over XP32 only utilizing 2. I have used this OS a few times though with Maxwell (and cpu at 4/4) and seemed to perform the same or worse than XP32 2/2 and other XP64 4/4 I have

Sounds like a fun way to abuse my G3258, I'm in

99% certain you only need the bios pad short mod, rename the bios Creative.ROM, and use the correct bios flashback usb port. What usb stick you use is important too. All my Adata sticks work for bios flashback or bootable usb purposes but my Sandisk's do not work for this

I'll allow it !

Very Nice José, surprised I missed this. Job well done !

No, but be advised the vcore/vid is messed up and will be 1.4-1.5v at optimized defaults for cpu's with over 8 threads Same thing happens on Apex ix with bios 1901mod

Thanks, I just try to learn as much as I can about this stuff since it seems to be disappearing every time another XOC'er quits due to lack of time, family, health, frustration with the platform or general lack of respect by those too naive to realize the importance of knowledge. Definitely something that any semi-advanced overclocker can do if you can find the time and dedication to do so I encourage everyone to spend at least 10% of their OC time to learn about things they feel has a lack of easy to find documentation. It's amazing just how much there is to learn when you run into a problem without a simple answer

Try this, I can't test if the modded efiflash will work on Z270 but the bios def should. Also edited autorun.bat for X8eMOD.bin Pretty sure this bios can run SKL too as it may have been missing from my Z170 modded bios Mod_Pack.zip

Sure looks like it will as long as the 6700K is not an engineering sample. I hope to test it out soon myself but only have Kaby 7600k to see if it supports pre Coffee sku's

Finding a quality phase change unit in the US is not easy. The few builders you can trust are pretty much out of the game due to lack of time and in my experience while searching for myself and several others, no (realistic ie normal cost of SS +$500) amount of money can buy said time. That said, I did eventually find one myself used in good condition. So I wish you luck !

Try it like this where top of command prompt says "administrator command prompt"
