how's this look to everyone? it's passed the custom prime95's, going to up multi and try again just wanted to see if I'm on the right track?

It looks bad. I set 1.35v in bios with LLC on "high" and get 1.36-1.39 under load with 2500k @ 4.5ghz. Yours is spiking way too high in comparison to what you have it set at. From my testing, having LLC on anything besides medium or high isn't a great idea.

Well I've reduced my temps during Prime95 small FFTs by 10C after lowering my vcore from auto to 1.125v. I'll try to go lower tomorrow, thanks for the assistance everyone. If there's a better tool for testing vcore stability let me know, it held up for 4.5 hrs with no errors or crashing.

This morning I turned on the computer and it had lost all the usb devices (yes, even the keyboard). This is on a z77X-D3H. Now I had just updated the bios yesterday to F8 (including the backup) and all was working normally. The computer had been turned off and booted several times since the bios upgrade without any issue. Worked normally this morning then I shut it down. Later came back and opened the computer to find that all USB devices were gone? Very strange stuff. I am on Windows 7 x64.

I unplugged each device and re-inserted the plug one at a time. Operating system found each one and loaded the driver. All is working for the moment but this is extremely strange as a random event. Other then this strange event this board has not given me any trouble. Any ideas?

Isn't the point of the backup BIOS to have something to fall back on if you run into a problem with the newer BIOS? I plan to leave my backup alone so I can always go back to the one it shipped with in case of emergency, F4. Just the way I see it, updating both to the latest version seems like a bad idea.

Actually Sin had suggested on this forum to sync both bios so I did. I can always flash back if it is that. I am not really too worried about this it actually caused me to laugh a little. If it is the bios upgrade than it is not exactly a stable upgrade is it? I am not even ready to blame the bios upgrade but I admit that is the most likely reason. I just thought it was most unusual that this happened after several re-boots. If it happens again I will probably flash back to F7. I had not seen this reported elsewhere so maybe I am just special.

Hmm, maybe I'm wrong then. I can't really help with your problem, I've been using F8a solely and not had probs with my USB devices. Seems like these boards work great for some people and give others a real hassle, pretty inconsistent user experiences. Maybe they needed more testing.

I think the general rule is don't upgrade your BIOS unless you have a problem/reason to.

1.36-1.39 VID in real temp?

im not sure what to go by, the VID from real temp, or CPU-Z?

how can I fix this?
