Asus Crosshair VIII 3101 Beta Bios out !

Did you change your CPU Load Line Calibration ? Try to set it on Auto again, just try and see if you get back your MHz.

would this have changed defaults between bios versions? I never messed with that in the past.

I noticed that on my C8F, on both the old 3003 bios and the new 3101 bios, when the CPU Load Line calibration is NOT set to Auto I get a hundred less points in CB20 benchmarks and the likes, and I think that is because the CPU boosts to a little bit less MHz (didnt check though).
So I thought that it may have been that you set the CPU LLC to something different than Auto when tuning the 3101 bios, and even when migrating back to 3003 the different CPU LLC stayed set in the profile and so you witnessed the performance decrease.

You can just try to set your CPU LLC back to Auto, if it is currently not set to Auto, and see if those few MHz come back. If you never touched that CPU Load Line Calibration setting, just ignore this.

yes I have been trying 2206 for two days and zero reboots with 128 gb of ram at 3600mhz .. this is the proof that nothing is obvious as some say
Also benefits on temperatures

Ok Karmal, interesting.
So, if you wish to try new bios, please load bios ver. 3003 and try following settings:

1) Load system defaults by F5;
2) Load your ram's XMP/DOCP profile;
3) Adjoust the system voltages as follows:

CPU_OFFSET_VOLTAGE = -0.025V
CPU_SOC_VOLTAGE= 1,025V
DRAM_VOLTAGE= 1,35V
VDDG_CCD= 0,95V
VDDG_IOD= 0,95V
CLDO_VDDP= 0,85V
1,8V_PLL=1,81V

Please let me know if your system is stable with these settings.
I use Hwinfo64 to check whea errors (last parameter in monitoring window), add it in tray to have a rapid alert. This parameter should remain alwais at 0, if not you have an instability issue.

Leave all other settings to auto (you can try PBO enhancer if you wish, it gives a relevant performance boost on my system, without satbility issues).

Three days with 2206 today I turned on the pc and the screen remained black I had to turn it off and then it restarted normally but I no longer had sudden shutdowns during work boh ... what parameter should I see in hwinfo can you underline it?the one at the bottom?I will try with the indicated parameters .. but I don't know how to modify cpu offset voltage can you explain?so okay?

Hi,
your parameters are ok, try it and let my know!

but now i'm using them with 2206 before switching to 3101 to see if i still have problems .. as i told you with 2206 i had a black screen turning on after three days .. in normal use no shutdowns.. in hw info I have only some parameters in red that fluctuate with your settings

Seems working good, although you don't need custom voltage values on 2206 bios.

Here the Power Deviation Accurancy value explanation:

yes I don't need customization on this bios but since I had a problem in starting today mah ..

Interesting - it wouldn't go up to 3800 for my RAM on my Formula board and boot so it is back to 2402 for that board.

However, on my Hero it is running fine at 4000 so not quite there yet - we'll see what the next BIOS does.

This bios 3101 has been removed from Asus ...
