Got my Asrock P67 Extreme 6 up & running now.Any questions u want answered

They all do it.......put it in a case and You won't notice ;)

Have You run the new memtest I linked to ?

not sure prime is much good for SB
 
Mean playing with my overclock again today...

Am now using the vcore offset settings so my cpu around 0.957v when idle (1600mhz)
and at 1.344v under load ( 4600mhz)

nice
maybe obvious in bios but prob quicker to ask, do you set high volts with a minus offset or low with plus???

still getting 45c cpu in bios where asrock x tuner, core temp etc both report 32 idle?

on a final note just about to replace the 2 fans on h70 for akasa vipers via a pwm splitter, the lowest setting in tuner is 45c target, i cant find any more info this....anyone care to elaborate

cheers

Am offsetting the 4.6Ghz turbo profile voltage by -0.020v

these are my bios settings am using

Which are the faulty ports on the Extreme 6? Is it all 4 SATA2 ports or only 2 of them?

I thought that !, But I have a high end noctua cooler and with the best part of 1.3 volts up it, it goes to 58/60 c so at 45c target you will not hold in prime/full load ;)

im sorry if im being dim here but if i set target at 50 fan at level 10 does that mean the fan is at full rpm over 50c
if so whats going on under 50 regards rpm etc

its really not very clear at all and there is no documentation i can see explaining the fan control. as soon as my my pwm splitter arrives ill put my questions to test for myself, but untill then maybe someone knows???

The fan speed levels are only for below the target temp

Example

Set cpu target temp at 50c
set fan level 2

When cpu temp goes over 50c the fan will auto spin faster then the level 2 you set..(If cpu temp reaches high enough then the fan will reach full speed)

:eek:A COUPLE OF WORDS OF WARNING

If you have to use the "clear cmos" button you will LOOSE saved profiles...write them down.

The BIOS/CMOS is a little fragile in some situations, If You crash it badly while testing/tweaking and all appears dead/locked and You can't get into the setup you should find pulling some memory might allow you to get into setup.
You may then find even with known safe settings it's still unhappy, this is because the Cmos is corrupted.
The fix is to have a copy of the latest bios flash on a USB flash drive (fat format) or floppy and reflash the Cmos from within setup

My motherboard is now failing to boot...does not even get to the bios screen

Tryed pulling out all memory and swapping slots & tryed using single stick in each slot..
Tryed clearing the cmos by rear switch & jumper on board
Tryed removing battery
Tryed with only a single GPU card (both slots)
Tryed with all USB items/cables ,network cables, hardrives etc,etc removed


And still does not work :(
(Now using my old 775 board & CPU :mad: )

Looks like it RMA time for my Extreme 6....
