I have the same question after reading the guide. I think we were directed towards 0.5-0.6 V above Vcore on Z87, on Air/AIO. Maybe I could have achieved a higher OC by increasing VRIN...possibly less Vcore needed.

And another question, has anyone discovered the best "hardware monitor" for keeping track of voltages and temps while under load stress testing on these boards?

Is this stable? What's your VRIN?

Sin, what's the deal with the difference in opinion on voltage delta between core and input?

ASUS is stating in the "key lessons" section that 0.6V delta and lower is recommended. You state in this thread/guide that 0.8V delta is a good rule of thumb (paraphrasing here) and maybe more is necessary. Thanks. Just trying to learn stuff.

Ran x264 overnight set to 20 loops. Woke up to a fail. This was my first evening stability testing on this z97 board. all previous testing done on a z87 board. Same chip. Interestingly, I always bsod when failing stability test on z87. typically code 101. But, on this z97 board there is no bsod. I think it just reboots and has a window that states that Windows has recovered from some failure. Not a big deal, but does anyone know why this is?

So I need to look over my notes on my previous z87 stability search as I thought for sure I found stability at the x44 cpu multi. I frickin failed to be stable on this z97 board with a x43 multi at 1.34 Vcore setting which goes to 1.35 something volts under load. The uncore was locked at x35 multi and 1.203V. The VRIN was set to 2.2 volts and increased the same as Vcore did under load. Temps were good around 72C hottest core. I am just bummed that I cannot easily pass x264 overnight at x43 yet.

Any ideas?

that's the problem. it was an Asus M6 Hero. I am trying to get used to the GB bios still as I am still familiar with Asus only. So far (very limited time on the board) I have failed to match the stability I had on the Hero. I am confident that it is simply that I need to change some settings. I just need to figure out what those are.

Yes, the recommended settings at extreme were done per the guide. I have disabled thermal monitor, cstates, eist...for now.
x264 UNstable (bsod 101) at:
cpu: 43
uncore: 35
vcore: 1.34
vrin: 2.20
vring: 1.20

x264 stable at:
cpu: 43
uncore: 35
vcore: 1.36 (only difference vs the above is this parameter)
vrin: 2.20
vring: 1.20

decided to have it fold and see if it crashes. All I am doing on this machine right now is gaming and folding so as long as I am stable there then that is good for me. x264 was good to get me in the ballpark. currently folding and every so many hours I'll drop the voltages to see how low I can get them. Once I find a good number then I'll try to increase the uncore multi.
currently at:
cpu: 43
uncore: 35
vcore: 1.35
vrin: 2.00
vring: 1.20
