Poco .. start a Thread bro.
You have my curiosity. What problem ? Ur kill'n in RB2. .c.
Same problem as the op is having in this thread with V readings on the 12v rail.
I have said most what could be said here already, I was hoping HiViz was going to pull something out of his bag of tricks, but I am just as happy if it is you. It may be more beneficial if we try to resolve this in this thread.
My RB2 scores maybe deceiving there is not much competition with the 9series currently and I would expect it to beat most if not all 8350s.
I have tweaked it for sure, and covered almost every setting on my mobo. On my last OCZ when rigged up I assumed it was the PSU, but my Seasonic has been the same from day one so I just assumed that was fine. It was not until HiViz pointed this out that this was not fine I became concerned. Maybe a false reading in Hwmonitor I thought, maybe a 9 series thing. I thought it was my H55 limiting my PC, but now have my custom 360 loop set up and could not get any improvement despite the temps being noticeably lower. So it is not that. Back to either PSU or Mobo, as I am pretty sure I checked a few 8350's and they where 12v+. I have not been able to get a tester for the PSU yet being Christmas madness and all, but I hope to by the end of the week so I can rule the PSU out. I also hope to get a waterblock for the VRMs if they ever come in stock, to try and rule a heating issue out there. I do not have any thermal pads to lift the heatsink and see if there is a problem there or not, but I know mine at least gets far hotter than I am comfortable with. Falling finding a fault with that I am at a loss as I am pretty sure I have not missed a setting trying to sort this out. CPU has been to 1.625, NB 1.9 CPU/NB 1.425 LLC ultra high, plus every combination. What I have noticed is I can not get this to every run in extreme unless I am missing something that is a must to run it in this LLC setting.
I can boot 5.3ghz but no hope completing RB, and 5.4ghz will get to windows log on before it crashes. Mine maybe is the CPU limit, but I am not so sure that is the case for the op.
I think I have covered everything that maybe of some use, please feel free to ask away or try some settings etc. I may have to do screenies tomorrow as my health is not great today.
