Hi All,
I just picked up a MVF last week along w/ a 3570K that I lapped tonight. I'll be doing the delid mod here in a couple weeks during spring break. The gear I have ATM is as follows
Asus Maximus V Formula, BIOS 1604
Intel Core i5-3570K(Lapped) (OC and Delidding in Progress) | Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme(Lapped)
Corsair Dominator Platinum (2 x 4GB) CMD8GX3M2A1866C9 DDR3 1866 @ 9-10-9-27 1.5v
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD
Gigabyte GV-N670OC-2GD GTX 670 2GB
SeaSonic X750 Gold 750W PSU
I was following the "Guide: Overclocking The Core i5-3570K To 4.5GHz On The Maximus V GENE" . I'm in the process of making sure my system is stable at stock settings. I have passed 24hrs Prime95 small FFT. I then ran Memtest86+ v4.20 for 5hrs w/ my USB drive. I noticed while Memtest86+ was running it showed my memory at DDR3 2400 9-10-9-27 2T 1.5v. I know before I started the test I had my bios set at DDR3 1866 @ 9-10-9-27 2T 1.5v. Is there a bug w/ Memtest86+ or are my 1866 sticks able to run stock voltage and timings at DDR3 2400 speeds?
I also see a lot of posts suggesting to revert back to a earlier bios, if so which one do you guys recommend?
