GtiJason Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Z170M OCF retail comes with Sky OC removed since microcode update? sorry if its an off topic question. By the way awesome topic Splave, always sharing good reading! Nope, just make sure to use microcode 2d or 74 Quote
Samsarulz Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Great to hear. Now I just have to sell my Z170 OCF in order tu purchase the Z170m . At least now there is some stock in Newegg. Quote
Strong Island Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 I agree with above statement!Having a little fun with emMa, OS is junk so please ignore my lack of efficiency 1.87bios / 1.94FD sys info / 1.92real 140mm AIO / Air wow that's sick Quote
Splave Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 hey guys if you have random double booting or haning on 19 alot or full shut downs when you just change something like voltages and bclk try to reflash the MEI in the bios and should fix it. Gets corrupted sometimes it seems or maybe just me. lol Quote

Gets corrupted sometimes it seems or maybe just me. lol Defiantly not just you, it seems like this board is so good at making whatever timing changes work that probably shouldn't and I think eventually mei becomes corrupt because of this. Not sure I said this quite right but hope you get the point Quote

VanBudd Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I want a new board for benching. Should i take impact or mocf? What do you think which one is better. I like the name ColdBugKillervolt. Quote
Splave Posted April 28, 2016 Author Posted April 28, 2016 If you as in this thread OCF if you ask in asus thread impact quick tip if you are running 32m and pi window disappears try raising vccio first Quote
Strong Island Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I want a new board for benching. Should i take impact or mocf? What do you think which one is better. I like the name ColdBugKillervolt. I would just say that if you are going to be benching cold a lot this board is nice because you have some extra room, and it's also really nice for xp with ps/2 ports, ide mode and extra pcie slots for a usb card, so imo more xp friendly. Also a bit cheaper. hey does anyone have a standalone oc tweaker like for the ocf? Quote
Strong Island Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 timing config? or formula drive? the formula drive. Like with the ocf the one you have in your xs thread only has the oc part, but with this one it has all the tools. It's not bad I was just wondering if there was the lighter version for mocf. Quote
Strong Island Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 ah ok not that I know of will ask cool thanks, not a big deal, just figured I would ask Quote
marc0053 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Hey guys just curious if someone has formula drive for the mocf that works with win xp 32 bit? Quote
Strong Island Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Hey guys just curious if someone has formula drive for the mocf that works with win xp 32 bit? I was able to install one in this thread on my xp 32, cant remember if I used it or not but it installed, going to go home in 10min and check. Quote
GtiJason Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Hey guys just curious if someone has formula drive for the mocf that works with win xp 32 bit? I used the official download from ASRock.com and it woks fine Quote
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Hey guys just curious if someone has formula drive for the mocf that works with win xp 32 bit? Link in OP should work if not then the one on the Asrock site works as well. Quote
marc0053 Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Thanks guys, it was a simple fix after all. Had the formula drive V3.0.53 on OS (from using regular OCF) and installed 3.0.78 thinking it would overwrite but gave "not compatible with this operating system" error. After uninstalling the software manually and reinstalling V3.0.78 is works perfectly. Maybe this can be useful for someone down the road. Cheers, Marc Quote
Strong Island Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, has anyone tested an i3 on air that was terrible but ended up being ok on ln2. The new chip I got barely did 4.3 hwbot prime on air maxed out. Is it worth trying on ln2? My good i3 does 4.8 hwbot prime air and 6.1 ln2. Was just hoping someone had a dog on air that ended up being good Now that we have non-k oc I can finally maybe oc the chips at work. We always have locked i3's and i5's but my boss just got a locked skylake i5. About to switch my bad i3. I'm definitely not an IT guy yet but I take care of all the pc's at work. Edited April 29, 2016 by Strong Island Quote
Splave Posted April 29, 2016 Author Posted April 29, 2016 That chip sounds pretty bad. I'd say 4.7-5.0 air then go cold Quote
dhenzjhen Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 If your chip can go 5g and atleast 1.5v or less and hwbotprime stable, i'd say go go on ln2 Here's my chip 1 out of 3 Quote
