Bruno Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) The LN2 OC guide links to command center. FPT link is disabled: "https://goo.gl/GJGlXD – this goo.gl shortlink has been disabled. It was found to be violating our Terms of Service. Do not use goo.gl for URLs that are either executable/package files (like .apk, .dmg, .exe, .zip, etc.) or that contain only IP addresses, or for shortening URL re-directors (either off goo.gl or via other URL shortening services)."

Rauf Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Perfect timing! Will bench my first session with this board tomorrow Thank you for the guide. Such guides are invaluable! Quote
pepinorang Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Perfect timing! Will bench my first session with this board tomorrow Thank you for the guide. Such guides are invaluable! I got board quite late so it took me some time to release it and it's not totally finished yet, I will update it as fast as possible. Basic primary timings for Samsung IC probably tomorrow. Edited September 23, 2015 by pepinorang Quote
pepinorang Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 Updated to v1.1 already Found a typo and modified CPU ST/ST V6 voltages part to add clarification about PLL OC. Link is the same, so if you were reading it just press F5 Quote

Doug2507 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Great guide, can't wait to get my board tomorrow and get it ready to be frozen! Quote
Doug2507 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Pepiinorang, are you soldering onto the ST/ST V6 read points before coating the board for cold? Quote
pepinorang Posted October 3, 2015 Author Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Pepiinorang, are you soldering onto the ST/ST V6 read points before coating the board for cold? I use Vaseline You could do it if you wish but I never needed much on ES CPUs and values set in BIOS are correct (just remind it show 0.25v lower in Command Center Lite). I can do 6.3G Cinebench R15 on my best two 6700K with CPU ST/ST V6 Auto and ln2 mode on (1.25v). I tried up to 1.8v but it didn't do any difference above 1.32v.
