I wouldn't take to much notice of the volts I used for the 2800 1.85V,yes other boards may need say 1.87v say " I haven't tested " but the other 2 dims to this kit are as good clock wise but higher volts are needed,so take no notice of the vdim I used

 

Ill test my ocf later against this board on volts wise,I don't think its that big difference

Is there any option I can use the Bios version I like on my SOCF? I got the board with f7 bios on both chips, and even dos with efiflash tells me that I am not allowed to use my property, which I paid money for btw, the way I want to do.

I used some program a guy on ocn told me to use, one sec I link u

here's the post & directions, it worked for me to flash x04 on my second BIOS chip that had F7 on it.

QFlash wouldn't let you flash the X BIOSes?

It wouldn't let me over-write F7 bios because it like locks the board down so you can't revert to old BIOS.

 

With the program in the link I posted, it did it first try and I got it all done worked right away.

Me too, thanks for the link and the help - much better support than some mainboard vendors offer

FPT tool has been around for awhile now,I'm sure I linked it in here little while ago,either way its what Ive been using too

Lol yeah! I actually tweeted at Gigabyte before I figured out what I had to do.

They were like "please email Gigabyte@facebook.com and we will help you ASAP!"

 

But then a guy on OCN quoted me and let me know about that program so I used that instead.

Other vendors did similar in the past (downgrade lock) and did not care, good that Gigabyte offered to help at least, that´s nice, but problem is solved anyway. Will do some checks on my new 24/7 board and the F7 was no winner Bios

my OC rig is my 24/7 rig so I use F7 on first BIOS slot and X04 on second BIOS slot.

 

Then I just use F7 24/7 and X04 when I want to do some oc'ing

Some 4Ghz fail,should be able to get it to pass given bit more time,was .125 faster then my other 4ghz time @ 5th loop so 16.1XX maybe

 

 

 

 

Little bit better 5GHz that failed ahahh

Found out why Samsung was pissing me off so much.

 

 

No voltage will do it. Even up to 2.20V.

A bad dim? What about the other 2 dims

Yeah, it's dying. The other three all work fine. I was trying to get four DIMM's up and running. Passed 32M in W10 last night (lol) with the two best sticks with no problem. Not tuned yet... Working on timings first.

Did you do this with a DOS Bootable usb drive or in Windows?

in windows with the program

 

also: ugh I need to figure out how to get more points, I'm so close to being like top 5 in novice

I hear ya, I have about $2000.00 worth of ddr3 mems, Mobo's, video cards and cpu's I have not even touched yet and only about 2 bench sessions in the last 2 months because I started a remodeling business with a buddy. Used to have the time but little money, then when you finally get money you can't enjoy it. I've also got 20L on ln2 sitting in the garage for the last 2 weeks that I am dying to use.

 

Thanks for the reply but I just gave it a shot in windows and worked no problem

I need a job :c I been doing all this so far jobless with money from re-selling parts and then buying different ones with the money lol.

 

Applied at a job near me hopefully they hire me so I can save up and get skylake or X99 for more points

 

 

Short of going Ln2 I've already basically done everything my hardware can do

Didn't you have X99 when it first came out, maybe I'm thinking of someone else but I swear you had a 5820k. I was looking into it for myself but decided to stick with Haswell. Anyways, you certainly have squeezed a lot from that hardware, maybe you need to get creative and get some cheap used parts and sell em after snatching some HWBoints. Too bad you live so far, I'd have you work for me

I had a 5820k for like 2 weeks or so, my soc champion board was having so many issues I decided to just return everything & go back to z97 and spend the extra money on my custom loop & 980.

At first I was going to RMA the board, but I decided to just return the stuff instead for a refund because I got so fed up with all of the issues

Some Gskill Pi 2000 cl6 memory on air and cpu on water 1.9v not 32m stable,I need to test these memory's on cold next time I have LN2

was a direct boot from bios

You sure do, that is pretty amazing. I've seen some good results posted using the Gskill Pi 2000 cl6 mems. Sure better than my 2200 c7 pi's. Good thing I have two sets of high bin psc heading my way, one g.skill two times the copper.......the other just eight layers but five sectors. Hehe what could they be?

strong kit indeed, wait for your LN2 result

Nice man,I have a 2200 Pi kit that is quite good that I also need to test on this board cold,post some results when you get your new memory's

Yes is a nice kit on air,will try them on this board on cold when I have ln2 again.Just waiting on z170 board then I'll give haswell a rest ahah

,post some results when you get your new memory's

Sure thing, I had to leave behind a freshly prepped oc formula, and new unused soc force, xpower and second oc formula since I think that dielectric twisted some pins with the pressure of the ekwb inflection point pot. As well as a full dewar since I am working out of state this week.

 

I thought about making the jump to z170 but am still learning haswell since I got a late start. I just got a highly binned 4770k that does 6000 mhz at 1.4v to try out too. Want to see if it can validate at 6500. Supposed to have a good imc
