Yeah I have updated the BIOS to the latest available (0711).
Here's the screenshot,

What about setting manually the CPU ratio @ 38x?

Here, fill all the Cores Ratio Limit boxes to 38, save and restart

So that board is extreme ... anyway thanks

Seems like 3250+ is possible for CFR based TridentX 2800C11 kit

TridentX CFR 2800CL11-13-13-35 1T - 3250CL13-15-15-42 2T@ 1.725



Not mine

Your MCE, I saw AUTO?

Yeah, it is only either AUTO or DISABLE

very odd rig... 4670 with a hero n using external card with value ram .... eh....

kindda makes the onboard soundcard and the ram overclocking capability u paid for hero kindda useless..

as for ure dilemma. have u tried changing ure power config in windows to high performance etc??
check aisuite also n set it to performance in epu.

Hahaha the only thing odd is the motherboard. I wanted all PCI-E board (i.e. no PCI slots), however the closest board from ASUS would be Z87-Pro. I don't need the WiFi (because I believe it is only 2x2 stream) thus I just top up a little more for Hero. I am using the onboard soundcard for headphone (due to it has amp for front panel output). I was thinking to get 4670k but that would mean I need to invest another 200 for a proper HSF for cooling. As far as I know, RAM overclocking doesn't really give real life performance right?

In short, I choose Hero 50% because it was cool (I know MSI G45 has all PCI-E for around 600, but fanboyism kicks me there hahaha).

As for the MCE, it is all running on high performance. Nothing is on power saving here.

okay ASUS rep advises you to manually enable c3/c6

You spoke to ASUS rep? Anyway, how do I enable this? Can tell me more?

Pls read your User Manual page 3-27, you need to enable C-state to see the C3/C6 options.



If it doesn't help, try flashing to BIOS 0029

LOL that is like driving nice car with replica rim and cheap tyre
Already spend so much,might as well as make it complete with K Processor & nice HSF at least
Ram not really needed unless you like to mess around with them
But hey,nicer ram look cool and G Skill 2133mhz 8GB is not that expensive lol

Do take note,what he claimed to own he can't provide proof that it is his
So take his word with grain of salt
And he ain't going to understand how to properly overclock(Don't ask me why i feel so,if you see him in real life you will understand)

M6I is better in mem OC. It overclocks this CFR surpassing 3100+ when its elder bro can't.



3250 12-15-15-35-2T @ 1.75v

good job bro ..

Thank you sir. 3k is nothing for Haswell. Real man already played with 4k+ huhu

TQVM bro. I believe MFR can ho higher than what you hit on M6E. I will to get a stripped XP for you ASAP. Seems like I got a broken installation CD right now haiz.

3K is a very good setup already.

what RAM could run at 4k?

@owikh84 how much that M6I?
can't read anymore further in this thread..makes me burn
