rampage iv extreme bios mod I fixed the problem. It appeared that I hadn't correctly flashed the bios. I tried using a different USB stick and it worked.
If anyone else has issues then try using a different USB stick to flash the BIOS. can you give me a link to the mod you use. |

4206 was the best one I remember using for shear clocks when I had my 3930k in....
But to me the loss of the other stability and features wasn't worth the sub 100MHz I lost. Noted, thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Depends what you mean by best I suppose.... best performing or best with all the fixes and features?
Best for overclocking. For example I downgraded from 4503 to 4206 this morning and was able to lower vcore from 1.39 to 1.38. Prime running for 5 hours so far (still in progress, will probably stop it at 8 hours as all I do is game on this box). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I'm quite impressed that my 8 year old setup is holding up. I ran it with C states disabled and no side panel for years. 3930k 4.7 @ 1.39v samsung low profile wonder ram 2133 cl9 @ 1.55v // 1.175v vtt and vccsa RIVE Had two major issues with the motherboard which were resolved by accident when reseating CPU (to lap it): -irog2 is updating loop -one of the memory sticks not recognizing What's the best BIOS for SB-E again? I went back 50x pages or so as the search is terribly broken and the consensus appears to be 4102/4206? |

That is what I figured. Not sure I want to monkey with the 1680v2. More than I want to spend to just limp along for a few months. Generally speaking, the microcode only really has any negative effects on specific enterprise workloads. Generally, not the stuff home users need to worry about. You can play it safe, or just test it and see what happens. It's not a big deal if you need to roll back. |

Ice009 | Do you guys think I should avoid using a modded BIOS with the CPU microcode updates? Is the performance hit incurred too much? |

1650v2, 1660v2 not worth it. 1680v2 or 1650v2. |
