Hi Folks!
Got the new setup (g3258 and the msi z97 xpower ac) running yesterday. My first impression is GEEEEEZZ....SO many bios settings!!! Tooled around a bit, hit 5.7GHz and managed my 3 top global subs with everything (other than vcore and multi) on auto. It'll do 5.6-5.7 (very unstable) at 1.6v. Running it under the cascade which is holding -105C at full load (-106c idle).
Have a lot to read/research but thought I'd go ahead and open this thread as I'm sure to need some help dialing in the overclock and, of course, would very much welcome tips, ideas, links to guides, etc.
Some initial issues I've already been banging my head over include:
- IntelME refuses to install. Errors out saying I've got something outdated. Tried running the intel patch but that errors out saying it can't find any associated hardware. What the heck??
- MSI's overclocking software also refuses to install
- Can't get the ram to run at anything over 2200
The setup started acting squirrelly about 8 hours into the session...likely cold/condensation issue...so will tear it down and re-insulate (and read lots of guides) before giving it another shot.
Any/all help would be much appreciated.
tia!
