Unbelievably too easy! Followed the 'listy. wordy' thread up on the stickies.

All i did was to set memory profile to xmp and turn the multi up to 44. I didnt touch the voltages or any thing else. Check the pix for truthiness.
A few things I noticed:
the board sets the voltage 1.36 in cpuz and it rises up to 1.376 under load. And i didnt touch the load line calibration settings.
the cpu is ALWAYS at 4400 mhz regardless of whether it's idling or not. Unlike an EVGA dark that i worked on-it will idle down to 1.2 ghz in idle
there were NO PROBLEMS (touch wood) NONE.
I installed only the drivers-none of the other fluff that's on the second tab of the driver cd (ramdisk, AI overclock, etc)
So now I feel like I set sail to cross the Pacific in a canoe. Yea! I am floating! But now what do I do? The bios settings are burgeoning, bewildering, befuddling. Look at these three screen captures:
The first one is what is seen under the extreme tweak tab. The next two are what you find when you open up the digi control option.
I just walked into the batcave and there are so many buttons and switches-I just want to make the batmobile go faster-where do i start?
The work of the bios engineers is invisible and only they know how precariously close to failure this board is tuned. I guess I should start by enabling offset voltage control. But where do i specify the offset? The bios says it wants 1.024v but i am seeing 1.36 in windows. clearly something is up somewhere that is allowing this. Perhaps it's the fact that my load line calibration is set to auto. And then there's these 'new settings' CPU current capability, CPU voltage frequency? I am from the days when you used a number two pencil to add voltage by tracing over resistors. (we old people knew that graphite conducted electricity LONG BEFORE graphene was 'discovered'. And by the way, if you make a carbon chain of just carbon atoms and double bonds like this ...=C=C=C=C=C=... it's the strongest material you'll ever see...tensile strength that could be used to weave a cable to pull the space station to the moon. But hat's another story...)
I am SO OVERWHELMED at how easy this overclock was-granted it's not much of an overclock at 4.4 ghz, but I am at 60deg only with room to go. Just looking for an experienced RIVE BE tuner to chime in with their experience.
My memory is running great too. with vtt and vccsa at stock!(1.075 and .956) There is even a second VTT voltage> What for?
