Front base --> Cpu level up = bleu screen

[GoosNL]

Hi,

Today i received the asus front base! I'm happy with it so far, controls the fans easly and shows some nice extra information.

The problem is the cpu level up function. I have a 4670K and it's not the best chip.
As soon as i hit the level up button it struggles (yes even at 4,2) when going to 4,4 its like an instant blue screen function.
So i wonder, can i make a predefined profile for cpu level up function?
Or just disable cpu level up?

I'm not the only user on this pc, and a instant blue screen function is not a nice option:p

I had a look on the ASUS Site, and it said it's compatible with the RIVBE, but not the RIVE. Is that really true?

100% true.

The header is not there on the RIVE.

You may be able to jimmy together a custom cord as it looks like it's just a mix of the OC Key port with an adjacent USB header if you have all of the necessary stuff. (OC key cable end & a standard internal USB cable end)

Not 100% sure on that though so verify before attempting anything.

EDIT: Just checked, the pinouts are not the same. Going to need one of the boards with the proper pinout if you want it.

Thanx Necrosan. Sounds like one of those projects that you could spend an eternity on, and find that by the time you've finish, or worked out it's not possible, the value of the time spent would be well over the cost of a RIVBE. Thanx for taking the time anyway.

At least now I have an excuse to buy a RIVBE. 🙂

Well here's another one....
when using realbench the frontbase starts to act weird:confused:
Not just with realbench, this happens at startup as well. does anyone else has this problem or just me?

Level up just takes presets and overvolts the CPU as someone else already said. I got my Lamptron Fan Controller for 10 bucks more and am glad I did.

just googled it, but it does not have a automatic bsod button:p
i'll just stick to the front base and hope they make a good update for it.
But it is €70,- not well spend! :mad:

Yep my plans the same power skip the panel and get a lamptron lol

For me personally the panels negatives in my personal build out weight the positives

Yeah, I would not recommend it to anyone unless you just want it for appearance. Doesn't even fit well in my case.

You can set your system up as fast as you want it then back it down 2x the amount the OC button will bump it up. So if the OC button on the front base jumps up 2ghz per push then you would setup your system to start at 4ghz slower in theory so when the button was pushed once it would bump you up 2ghz, 2 presses of the button would bump it up 4ghz. (to your max) My problem is I got a hold of ASUS and they gave me the voltage settings that the base bumps up but I am not sure exactly how to input those setting and thus when I try and press the OC button my system freezes. I have tried way undervoltage too but that also locks it up. So everything has to be just so. I hope someone will answer my thread and help me input the voltage settings. There is one I cant seem to find anywhere in the bios or the asus tweaker software. Its called Integrated Memory Controller Voltage.
