Asus Z77 Series Information Thread (drivers, BIOSes, overclocking, reviews) **UPDATED 4/22** - Page 13

Anyone else running Samsung 32 nm RAM on a P8Z77-V Pro? I seem to be hitting a wall at 1866 MHz, anything over that and I have problems. I feel like I've tried everything: DRAM voltage from 1.35-1.55V, PLL from 1.5-1.8V, VCCSA from 0.925-1.10V. Also, for some reason I cannot control VCCIO. I've looked it up and it seems like it's a hardware limitation (Ivy? or MB?), and it is apparently linked to VCCSA which is why I tried messing with that voltage. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

BTW, My CPU is stable at 4.5 GHz with an offset of +0.015V.

Why did you stop at 1.55 on the RAM? Take it up to at least 1.7v and what timings are you running?

I didn't take it up past 1.55 V on the ram since most people have been able to get to 2133 MHz on 1.5-1.55 V.

My timings are 10-10-10-27-1T

I would take them up to at least 1.7 but you are probbly going to need to loosen timings a little to say 10-11-11-28 maybe 2T

Same thing, I've got my fans triggering over a 10C range, i.e. cpu fan idle up to 40 CPU temp, and at 100% at 50C, my case fans at on the same profile but 5C offset, i.e. 100% at 55C.

Seems to work, when browsing case fans are quiet and cores are at 33-36, when gaming cores are at 60-63 and case fans are fast enough.

Its much better that fanexpert is a service now, so that you don't actually need to run the program.

If you look in program files\asus\asusfancontrolservice you'll find an xml file that you can edit with an administrated notepad (once the fanservice & ai suite has been stopped in services) I had to do this as one the fans wasn't saving its settings.

I had the same issue, follow the link in the spoilered section in the first post to the mei (all OS) download, that one seems to work, no idea what it does though.

The management engine is for the Blue Tooth connection. This is the part that allows you to connect your tablet or smart phone and remote login.
