Got my Extreme4 up and running with a 2600K. Using the preset 4.6 profile all is good apart from what look like high voltages of well over 1.4v. Really could do with a good primer on the Asrock UEFI settings and what they do. Anyone?

Well I think something has ****** out on Mine 2E error on boot with 2 sticks of memory, It's happy to run the second stick in another slot Just not "Dual channel".
I have too much on to be investigating it ATM, Anyone know where the replacement boards are and how Asrock are swapping them etc..?

Anyone figured out a way around not booting first time turned on? Cold boot problem as soon as overclocked? Turns on ... turns off .... turns on... boots.

A lot of motherboards do this.

It's just part of the checks the BIOS does before booting.

As above - my old 775 gigabyte MB did this with a substantial clock. It ran perfectly for 2 years (with 2 different chips) - and this was it's only quirk with the clock.

I thought the lastest bios updates fixed this :confused:

Great board this ASRock... got Z68 Extreme4 and 5.2GHz bootable

still didnt have more time to play, but I guess I can get a crazy sub 7.4s score for 1M in SuperPi

Yeah I think the Asrock boards are great too. I had an Asrock fatality and after fitting a doa gfx card the board died on me. I then purchased an Gigabyte z68x-ud7 although it was a well built board and looked lovely it felt like I had taken a step back with the old bios and slow post times. The Asrocks boot up super quick and are dead easy to overclock. The ud7 could eek no more out of my 2600k than the Asrock could, if anything I found the Asrock is a little better and much easier to clock. In the end I sold the ud7 and kept my replacement Asrock. Imo I would say the p67 extreme 4 or 6 is about the best board for the money you can get that is fully feature packed.

I think with a better CPU, PSU and mem could do even better on this board...
