Hey Hans, i was wondering if the different versions had some play on the situation, seems it is …doh’! So debating on the faster 32gb vs the slower 64gb for gaming/browsing purposes, but i never actually even come close to utilizing all of the 32gb, but cant stand the look of empty sockets so gona run some tests to see if i gain/lose anything between the configs til i can get matched sets, which is low priority cuz its like buying a 3rd set of 32gb for “no reson” …lol.
also thx for the headsup on the BIOS, and ya i already learned the hardway, lol, I always run a backup of everything now. Still debating on the modded BIOS but it sounds like its all Pros and zero cons, im hoping itll fix a problem im having with fluctuating vcore that i just noticed as well, ranging from .45-1.85v …when i have 1920x CPU underclocked 3.8ghz @ 1.375v (still building up my custom loop, waiting on last piece, the distro plate) few screens to show an hour of idle history via Hardware Monitor …literally popped it up, walked away, came back an hour or so later and saw it hit 1.85v+ at one point and almost shit a brick …any idea why it would do that when i have vcore set manually, auto oc settings to off, and all my “tweakers paradise” settings (i think its those, Ill include screen of that as well, and i dont run AI-Suite auto, only manual when i need to check or test, all settings are BIOS level) to max\extreme\manual to keep voltage\performance as steady\stable as possible cuz my thermals are so good? (and will get even better one new loop parts installed) Also a lil weird how I set BIOS vcore to 1.375v which hardware monitor recognises for the most part as 1.373vish but AI-suite sees it as 1.368v. I know these are minor differences but trying to get a stable\steady reading that is the same across all my apps, etc AND eliminate the OC instability (which is most prolly the memory rev differences) AND eliminate this vCore jumping around, crazy how its doing that when i thought i had the proper settings set to keep it as steady as possible. this 1920x can easily hit 4.3Ghz when i pushed it, im hoping with memory relaxing to 2T, etc i can at least get 3.2ghz out of it, but dont know if the tradeoff is worth it, good thing this is what i like to find out and test, just been a few years since ive been deep into it, so apologizes again if im rambling or misstating anything, lol. Also got in that heatsink yesterday you recommended, installing it when i update my loop with 2nd rad and distro plate. but ya hopefully you can discern the important info i blathered out …lol, thx again bro, just want to make sure the modded BIOS is the way i want to go, ive had good luck in the past with all modded bios ive used on previous boards ive used so also I dont know if i asked but does this thread state what exactly was changed\modded to help with keeping this board up to date for Win10x64?
again Ty for any\all info bro, really appreciate the insight, cant believe its been so long since ive dug in to my PC, switched gears\hobby for last year or so and learned Class D, A\B, car amplifier\Subwoofer repair\modding\etc, another hobby of mine. Actually just joined Official Team Orion if you know anything about car audio but ya, ok enough of the 3am rambling …lol, thx Hans
