I would just forgot about it. BIOS is not ACPI so you need to use MPS Multiprocessor as Sam said but it only support 4 threads and has poor performance...

Yeah doing mps multi everytime. It bsods after it says setup is starting windows.

 

32m only uses 1core!

 

Do i have win 7 mode on or off? Ide or achi, and if i use my usb2.0 card what sata port does the diskdrive and hard drive need to be in?

How do I turn on PS/2 also? I tried to use a usb to ps/2 incase I could get back to picking what partition but it doesnt respond

 

 

Anyways, if I have to hold off on xp. Is 7 or 10 better for xtu?

Yes but I think perf is still bunnyextraction with MPS Multiprocessor, @Sam OCX correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Sam has better knowledge than me on MSI Z170 + XP, I really didn't bother.

We need ACPI compliant BIOS but I doubt it will ever happen on MSI due to manpower resources.

 

EDIT: Win10 is better for XTU.

For Win XP, you need to use ASMEDIA SATA ports (7/8) with IDE mode enabled and integrate drivers in your ISO.

Win7 Installation option will enable PS/2 emulation for USB ports, so if you use USB keyboard to install Win7 or XP you will need this.

When this option is enable PS/2 port and USB storage will not work.

Wow, great mem results! But awful lot of voltage for some of the aircooled tests. 1.92V aircooled? Doesn't it risk instant kill? I think I have both E- and D-samsung. Will have to try.

So far kit handled it like a champ!

If you are afraid thought, lower cas will need less voltage ;) See below screenshots.

@Sam OCX said 1800 CL10 Aircooled should be even possible if BIOS had more than 2.2v which I'll make happen soon :P

I didn't need as much as i did, not had time to check for minimum.

 

did 3600c12@1.73 but that voltage was just pulled from the front page. 1.87 for c11 was just a shot in the dark. (also benched both CB when at c12)

 

tried c10 up to 2v, no joy, same with 11-17-17.

 

got a dual kit coming end of week and also a dual 3600c17

 

actual voltage at 1.9v set in bios reads 1.906 on MM for me.

 

Rauf -- why PLL OC @ 1.5v?
