My first more serious pi 32M test. First run in XP. Waza proof at 5m 55.537s. Still my g.skills, the hofs are still waiting for action. I now officially have 2 4133 kits. Nice

The second kit needed a little less voltage to get it to post, so the 3rd try gave a post. Their first boot gave this: The CPU is cooled by my Single Stage. Edit: I did a quick test on 4266MHz. C12 didn't run yet but 4266MHz C13 did... I really am beginning to like the 2nd kit...

I've got these kits since last summer and never got them running because of some bad luck. First I will tune it, then I will run my 6700k.

I got a series of bad luck last year and this year my Cascade died on me. I think I will hold on to them for a little longer. I will bin them first. Maarten

I finally got these running! this is the first try below zero with this kit on my mOCF and they are doing well. The beauty is that I have a matching kit, the 2nd kit has the 2 next serials and seems to operated simular until 4GHz C12 on air. I will test it soon bu I expect it to run fine. Now I have to tighten the timings and test some more voltages. After this I still have the HOF's.

At what voltage did the cpu score it's result for cpuz and pifast? (980x)

Thanks, I will flash it on my 2nd bios and use this. I tested P7.40 today and had no problems booting 4133 c12 on water with 6 different dimms. It was PI4M stable (didn't have more time) with 4 different dimms.

I see that bios version P7.40 can be downloaded on the Asrock website. Did anyone try it yet?

Nice, mine didn't like that on the big board. But I will try since it is driving my daily 6700k (golden on air, one of the worst on cold). Edit: my bad about the 6700k. Seems good on ln2 as well. Never fully tested tho... It ran 6.6GHz in a quick test. Oops Edit: E die picture results were gone.

When you say it I know it is a good kit :). I could do 12-20-20 as well but I didn't get it stable yet. I am in doubt because I really want to run my b die sets now. But I really want to know if it gets any better as well. Somehow I found it's sweetspot because I needed much more volts before. Edit: This kit is the onlyone I tested. So I didn't even bin a few kits before I started.

Thanks. I just wanted to know how it performed.

I am wondering what, what is the best bios for ln2 and momory oc at this point?

Another update. Timings are getting better every day. Note that tWR was at 5, the Asrock tool somehow doesn't get it right. Bios tells me I am correct. Now for 4133MHz...

I tried my cheap E die on Z170m OCF and it seems to be running better then on my OCF (as expected). 4GHZ C13 PI32M stable at 1.68v in bios (2T runs with less voltage). No OS tweaks done here. I will try more later.

Thanks, I will download it later. Edit: Seems to work fine

Thanks. I will try then

I am using version 78 now. Since it cost me 2 hours I keep this version and keep your advice in my mind if I get troubles. Thanks

I have a problem in Windows XP. My m OCF does not seem to run Formula Drive in Windows XP (32b). Version 3.0.31 installs but does not work. It gives me "This Utility is not for this platform". Version 3.0.94 installs but does not work. It gives me "The procedure entry point GetSystemFirmwareTable could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL". Does anybody know how I to solve the the problem? Edit: I tried bios 1.40 and P7.30. Edit 2: Never mind - PROBLEM SOLVED with version 3.0.78 - Strange that newer versions don't work.

And seems tonrun fine on my ocf and m ocf.

I will take 2 of group 2.

Nice chip

Is this compatible with the Little Devil v2?

Not really, it died during it's transport to me. I tried to reflow it. Since then I am able to start the pc with a different gfx card and thisone in it. It isn't recognized tough... When booting with this card only it fails and gives a black image. All fans, buttons and lighting work. Maarten

I have a broken 7970 Matrix, will that do?

Ok, thanks
