BIOS 3305 on Maximus IV GENE-Z/GEN3

[peabrains]

hi i just testet BIOS 3305 on Maximus IV GENE-Z/GEN3 and the vcore 1,48v still is an issue on my system.

how are your systems responding to the bios update

my sys

Maximus IV GENE-Z/GEN3

intel core I5 2500k

corsair vangance 1600Mhz (manualy setting to 1600 Mhz in bios since it sets 1333)

2 x 500 gb hdd in raid

corsair H80 cooler

[peabrains]

using AI suite autotuning to do a fast OC to prevent Vcore higher then 1,3V

I updated around 2hours ago, i'm doing just great actually i've managed to tweak a few settings downwards and still keep high stability in my setup at 4.6ghz (had to down tune from 4.8 since it requires too much damn juice)

Now sitting at 1.360 Vcore / 100% LLC / Manual - Ultra Fast VRM Phase Control - 500Khz / 1866 mhz Ram 9/9/9/21/2 (these are overclocked from 1600 9/9/9/21/2 so pretty funky i got my old 1600 ram speeds back and still keeping the stability in the system).

I'm not really sure what this bios fixed? As i didn't have troubles before, but i upgraded to be on the safe side so so far zero faults this end. I suggest if you want a OC you do it manually through the BIOS if you know how?

Edit: What CPU speed are you trying to obtain? - would potentially help with finding out why your CPU is using that much juice

I will test this out later today and report back to you if I can duplicate.

Are all your settings in BIOS on default.

[peabrains]

most of my bios was running at default only changes was setting sata to raid and memory to 1600 mhz

ps cpu voltage was on 1,48 V and did not regulate

[peabrains]

was trying to run my cpu stock atm and OC it a bit later to postbone buying new hardware for 3-4 yrs from today

[HiVizMan]

I hear you mate, will consider this a matter of priority.

[Lilkka]

Set your own voltage in the bios for the CPU so it cannot jump up to insane ammounts if your running stock you really shouldn't need too much or does this not fix it either?

[peabrains]

im not to good with setting up voltage in bios so i just ran auto tune for the fast OC profile keeping cpu safe at 1,3V i dont think it will dmg my cpu to much overtime at this setting crossing fingers :P

[HiVizMan]

No problem at all at those voltages and your cooler. 1.3 is good to go.

May I tick this from my todo list in that case?
