Thank you again Shamino 😉

just remember that this is NOT a asus bios, this is custom made.
if it damages enny thing its at your own risk.

You are right kkn, I was too excited, I didn't mention that. Too bad, mine is MVF.

In comparison with the lockups until now, I was willing to be a BETA tester. 🙂

will give it a shot after work, will do some quick benching and see if I loose mutliplier lock or not... all I have to do is take another hit on re-stabilizing 5.1GHz LOL.

I envy you. I love these kind of projects. (Man with a plan) :).BTW how much Vcore you need for 5.0G? In 1309 I had to set 1.425 while in 1604 gave me WHEA errors and I had to increase to 1.445. After some lockups I stopped trying and waiting for the new revision. Never tried over 5.0 because with 1.445 I was already to 85-88 degrees , Noctua was working overtimes.

Plan is there, will see how it goes heh.
for 5.0GHz my chip needs 1.458V vcore under load of Intel Burn Test 2.54 or Cinebench 11.5. I am using 75% LLC (Ultra HIgh) with vcore setting of 1.465V in BIOS, at fixed vcore that is.

It used to require more actually with older BIOSes, it's the 1604 that brought it down significantly (from around 1.48-1.49V I think, would need double checking) ... offset vcore is another story, it calls for a tad more and I believe I had some stability issues with it still, hence why I am sitting on 4.9GHz daily on offsets.

If I can make offsets run stable (at light load scenario I mean, full load was never a problem) at 5G+ then I would try running even 5.1GHz daily, because temps should not be a big problem (lower 90s under load I think).

On my M5G it helped me a lot to set c1e and eist to enabled and c3, c6 and package c-state to disabled. This prevented vcore from dropping too deep at non or light load, on my rig&settings it's like 0,2v over the 0,8 I get idle with everything at auto...

I agree, I need the same settings for offset over 4.5G. If not, the first thing I notice is stuttering and lag of the mouse in idle and if continue raise multiplier BSOD.

that's how I run offsets. yet my CPU at 5GHz on offsets was BSODing sometimes under very light load (e.g. 20% spike when refreshing a page in browser). don't get me wrong, I test my systems thoroughly and longest it lasted was 22 hours of a combo of stress testing, gaming, watching movie, listening to music, idling and light use like browsing forums (crapped out on light use).

for comparison I run 4.9GHz daily on offset (1.37v vcore) 24/7 for several weeks (max I went is 3 I think) without a reboot and no problem ever, not a single WHEA warning, nothing, simply rock solid like the stock speed settings are.
