If i try to set the multiiplier to anything higher than 34 the board will not load the OS (win 7 64-bit). Post code it stops on is AE (legacy device).

Hi,

What BIOS version are you using?


If AE is being displayed at the POST splash screen - leave the board there for up to 2 minutes - let me know if it eventually tries to boot the OS.

Dont know why this is but I had an Idea. I moved the two sata drives off the marvell to the intel sata3 ports and disabled the marvell and now it boots? Any Idea why?

Sorry I missed this post. Seems like there is some kind of detection issue.

Hi,

Ok can you post a BIOS template or take screenshots from within UEFI and post them up so I can see what the board is setting for voltages and memory timings.

Use this and fill out the settings you see:


CPU Level Up

AI Overclock Tuner

BCLK/PCIe Frequency

Turbo Ratio

Maximum Turbo Ratio Setting

Internal PLL Overvoltage

Memory Frequency

Memory Bandwidth Booster

APU Power Saving Mode


DRAM Timing Control


List the first section of Timings please




CPU Voltage Offset/Manual

CPU OFFSET/Manual Voltage


DRAM Voltage


VCCSA Voltage

VCCIO Voltage

CPU PLL Voltage

PCH Voltage

PCH PLL Voltage

Skew Driving Voltage

CPU Spread Spectrum

Yes. It would work just fine until OC'ing. I just moved the two drives down a port to the Intel 6 rather than the Marvell and perfect.

If you are looking at the Mobo. If you have it in the top 2 red ports move it to the bottom red ports and in the BIOS disable the Marvell controller. System has been flawless since.
