Tri-Fire AMD Brethren

The bios options on the ROG boards are staggering, I had a read through the memory tuning options on my board in sig, me brain almost went into meltdown. Not that there's a lot of brain to start with.:D

Yep there are like four pages of memory options. I don't know what any of them are. :D
 
Scotty, Gee, having that problem again. Running 5 rounds of Intel burn test at stock 4ghz and the cpu clock is dropping to 3.9ghz for some reason. Any suggestions? This is on the latest bios.

EDIT

Infact i even just saw it drop to 3.8ghz at 100% load.
 
Try these settings.

Cpu strap Auto. Forget anything else for now.
BCLK 100
Sync all cores 44. I use 46 with these settings but try at 44 or less for now.
Cpu load line calibration Medium.
Cpu Vcore voltage use offset. I have mine at an offset of 0.015 you may have to tweak this to suit.
Cpu States.
Cpu C1E Enabled. The rest disabled.
Set your ram manually to whatever settings it is.

Leave the rest on auto for now and run a benchmark and see if the clocks stick. Leave Intel burn test for now and report back.

Bingo, no throttling in cpu-z. So what the hell is causing that? I wonder if it is one of those C states. I did enable them all. I will try adding things one by one and see if i can figure out which one is causing it. Thank you!

EDIT

Wow my Gflops have shot up and so have temps lol. Well i guess i know now why my temps were so low.
 
Yeah don't think it is that. Ok so i left c states alone bar what Gee uses, i started upping voltages, VCSSA, VTT, both to 1.1v, up dram to 1.65v and it's started doing it again. I also changed cpu clock to 4ghz. That was it?
 
Ok back to Gee's settings and it's ok then. This time i will test one by one and find out which setting is causing it.
 
I take it EPU power saving is disabled. Disable spread spectrum. Thats the one I was trying to think of earlier. And Intel Adaptive thermal monitor, disable that also

Go back to what I suggested and only adjust the offset voltages working on a + offset with a multi of 40 and test. Leave the rest of the voltages on auto. If all's working as it should, start introducing other voltage changes one by one to pin point the adjustment that's making the clocks drop under load.
