Alas, it didn't cure the Avexir issue, but at least the bloody thing works

Currently installing windows and we have blocks arriving tomorrow, yay!

Damn shame about the ram... Those white leds looked great with the psu

Ah well.

Thanks for help once again mate

What is it with me and off beat mobo's?

wazza300 · 14 Feb 2014 at 21:12

hehe its your scrimping ways

no idea about the avixir ram either :eek:

seen issues with crucial aswell so don't pick any of that,usual teamgroup/corsair/Kingston should work fine

Uncle Petey · 14 Feb 2014 at 21:37

After spunking all that cheese

eek

on cards and watercooling etc, I had to save a few pennies somewhere

here's guide for 4.6ghz didn't try 4.7ghz though just 4.8ghz

Wazza, been using your guides to get my i5-3570k (on a UP4) to 4.5 and beyond - thanks a bunch! Have a question about the CPU PLL voltage tho - what exactly does it do?! I have the CPU at 4.5 on 1.25vcore, and I've tried with the PLL both on 1.6v and on auto. Made no difference to temps or stability... Can you enlighten me?

Sry about ur probs Uncle Petey - however did have in mind to get some white led Avexir stuff, so I guess now I know not too!!

However I had my own probs with the board not liking a Corsair VX450W psu - took 2 RMA's on the board before I worked that one out (I presume the B-grade you picked up isn't the one I returned

)!!

Phase Locked Loop,its about the waveform that multiplies the bclk,more or less voltage usually helps with refining the error margin,some boards/cpu's respond better to more/less it depends

lol, it might well have been

There is a slight twist in the tale of the white Avexir though... Bear with me, this gets confusing

Mining rig 1 (Asus Z77-V): Had the cheap ram in there which I put in the new miner.
Using the white Avexir resulted in it not wanting to start up and doing the repeated cpu fan twitch thing.

PC (Gigabyte FM2 board): Had blue Avexir in there.
I took the blue ram out and put it in mining rig 1 which ran perfectly.
The white Avexir ram then went into this PC and it runs fine.

My PC (Asus Z77-V): Ran 2xWhite and 2xBlue with no probs.

Gonna try a pair of the blues in the new miner in a little while and see what happens.

Uncle Petey · 15 Feb 2014 at 15:31

New dilemma!
Got all three cards blocked and bridged, but the stupidly placed power/reset & hdd led plugs clash with the third card and make it impossible to install them :mad:

Wtf Gigabyte?

So... Do we solder the cables directly to the pins or go through the hassle of swapping this board with the Asus mobo in the other rig (which involves carefully removing WC cards and doing two windows installs)?

stefk005 · 15 Feb 2014 at 16:22

Oh that's daft :s Hadn't thought of that, but peering through the side panel, I see what you mean... I suppose a drop of solder might be quicker than all the other faff!

Let us know what happens with the blue Avexir, though I would be slightly perplexed if the board had a preference for one led colour over another... !

Thanks. Have you seen any big difference when changing it on these boards?

wazza300 · 15 Feb 2014 at 17:36

for me it helps slightly but auto is fine tbh

@petey idk how you'd get around that one,if you could attach the wires so they don't stick out so much that would work

Uncle Petey · 15 Feb 2014 at 18:14

I decided to go ghetto and saw the top of the plug off.
Not gonna bother with the rest as I don't think I need anything apart from the power switch.

The led plugs are just there for reference.

The card still touches it, but does sit snugly in the slot. A bit of insulation tape to be sure, and we're good to go

wazza300 · 15 Feb 2014 at 19:24

that's better,they are rather overlong anyway, kinda silly

EDIT (that's the case makers fault tho not giga

)

stefk005 · 15 Feb 2014 at 21:35

lol, nice one. Wonder if that would work with the other headers

wazza300 · 16 Feb 2014 at 01:15

@petey can you please post the avexir memory model number? ill pass it on to stasio

both make/models if they are different kits (avexir arnt on the qvl list apparently) neither are Samsung green yet they work fine on up4

Uncle Petey · 16 Feb 2014 at 11:59

White kit: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-042-AR&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

Blue kit: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-000-AR&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

Hang on though, I still need to test a blue kit on there.
Gimme a couple of hours

Are they on the UP5.

wazza300 · 16 Feb 2014 at 23:48

Up4 but should work fine on up5,gigabyte improved BIOS's to support them fully

Uncle Petey · 17 Feb 2014 at 15:02

@Wazza
The blue Avexir works fine in there.

Bit of an odd one this. The white works in two out four pc's, including not working in one out of two identical mobo's.

wazza300 · 17 Feb 2014 at 15:03

hmm seems strange then,could be fault somewhere with that ram? idk or a bios bug
