Just found this in the retail package, but imho the voltages are a bit too high for "safety" or even reference settings. I'm trying out the "fun" reference of 1.3V at 4.5G profile and my CPU is not stable. "Easy" works.

 

Even in retail package reference is made for ES CPU, really?

 

The idea is not bad though

Thank you for this ,I was looking for this all day long

what do they mean by DDR3-2801 1.76V not recommended?

Haha:D

MSI is trolling with 'ES' volts

 

**funny, uncore volts are listed but not vccin.. these guys

ES isn't that different from retail on air cooling, actually.

yea except the earlier C0 ES seem to die easier on air.

I have an early CO ES.. no death here and been testing since Dec'12 with it.

 

*Only deaths I have heard of were early C0 Malay retail.. seems vccin over 2.3v is 'scary' for them. Though between folks trying to shove 1.6vcore while leaving vccin @ 1.85v, and people not using a DMM to verify SA and Ring/Uncore.. i can see why some CPU have gone to heaven

 

**MSI has actually adjusted the 'safe' voltage ranges in the BIOS since retail release to prevent people from getting to friendly with certain voltage ranges on air.

I was told QE6H were better with higher vin than QE6S

QE6S are better from what I heard... but those only work (extreme OC) on Asrock and Asus

Ahh.. mine is QE6V.. so guess my cpu is newer than those batch.

soon enough

you better optimise bios for retails not for es,lol =))
