I can not see much improvement in newer bios`s the F6 is pretty good. You may see some fine tuning and a bit more automation for those who don't like fiddling with the settings in a later release.

***Intel i7 4790K Owners thread***
- Thread starter Boomstick777
- Start date
this is via ``smart tweak`` in the BIOS menu, i only change the Vcore...it's ok now at 1.41 at 4.5, but was no good at 1.41 at 4.7but it's mainly the 7990 that's running too hot, it cant take 1.2v, it will only run stable if I undervolt it at 1.12
i looked at it closely last night and i noticed the PSU drawing cold air away from the GPU fans
, so i've fitted a panel above the PSU....the PSU intake is directly under the mobo.at 4.5 i might lower the Vcore to 1.38 and settle for that, because i've tried 4.7 a few times before and it's always crashed.....especially in Prime!!!!

DO you "play" or "use" prime everyday?
Don't use it.
well i dont use Prime any more !!!
keep VCCIN 0.6-0.7 above vcore... 1.3vcore would be 2.0 vccin voltage

This may have been the issue on clocking my first 4790k. Kept getting 0x124 bsods in a few benchmarks at 4.7ghz, 1.32 vcore. But i had left input voltage at 1.88.

Vrin is the key.
But it does increase temps too, so a balance needs to be found.

Cheers, asus label it as input voltage so i always have to check before changing as i get a bit mixed up when reading vrin and vring.
Temp wise, the most ill be stress testing with is real bench which was pretty ok. Did try p95 at stock on both DC chips, mid 90's in seconds. Theese chips just arent designed with unrealistic loading like this in mind. First chip with rb.
Pretty ok temp wise though the second chip im using now is a lower vid model, and runs a bit cooler in normal use.

Being able to pass Realbench i think is tougher than Prime/IBT.
I can pass those yet freeze on the video rendering of Realbench.
and yeah, different manufacturers calling the same thing a different name doesn't help, even the Pro OC guys I talk to who use the same board as me use acronyms that are not in the BIOS, really annoying.

Ive found RB to be more representive of real everyday usage. Video rendering one was also my stumbling block.
It would indeed be nice to see every vendor use the same terms for various board settings. Asus have quite different naming for some. Vring is cache voltage and vrin is cpu input voltage, though for this on my board theres an initial input and eventual input setting. Not sure if gigabyte etc has the same?

Here is an SOC Force voltage list/names.
i did tell you back in 4770k thread to keep vccin higher althought i never said the values
Caporegime
Very nicely laid out and thanks for uploading those, (ive never actually used a gigabyte board myself). So Vcore and Vrin are the only ones youve set manually stulid.
@vonex, i do remember that yes. On the 4770k the max i clocked it to was 4.5ghz, 1.26v, had input at 1.88 or 1.9 iirc. Ran fine though never tried any higher on that chip as it was a very hot runner even in normal use.

Yes, that is all I have done to get 4.7GHz.
Edit, apart from load line calibration to extreme.

LLC on level 8 here which is the highest on this board.

Extreme is highest for Giga.
Heres the UEFI /alternative BIOS,
Heres the UEFI /alternative BIOS,
on my soc force in Smart tweak 4.7 is the max.........at 4.5 it is :-
VCCIN.....1.8
CCORE.....1.419
VRING......AUTO
did someone say that VCCIN should be 0.8 higher than Vcore ???
so what would 4.7 be ?
VCCIN.....2.14
Vcore......1.42
but i think the voltage looks too high.
do any of these effect the GPU?..........GPU is at 1.12 underevolt
VCCIN.....1.8
CCORE.....1.419

If you need 1.4V to get 4.7Ghz then its not worth it.

Again, very nicely laid out stulid. The bios on my asus formula is a bit messy looking in comparison lol. Ill be clocking the setup in sig this weekend, (waiting on a new psu). Think ill just go with adjustments on vrin and vcore and see how it go's. Ram is XMP capable so no need to mess with it. At stock speed my cpu is a bit of a bottleneck in games like bf4 with sli 780's.
