To be honest, 5 minutes is way better than 4 days... nothing worse than troubleshooting intermittent problems.

When it happens fast, makes it easier to know 😄

God help me when I flash BIOS I hoped problems from start gone... Somehow...I don't know is it that possible but I hope.
If I experience BSOD after changing settings for CPU I will save you with phone to show you how that look. CPU is OK he work overclocked stable with some tricks...
For now I didn't had problems more than year. Nothing. But it's not solution keeping like that without changing anything because you afraid that something not work.
OK to be honest for now I didn't need and didn't want to change anything or I would check earlier.
I need to change OS Drive to M.2 and that's main reason and want to increase speed from 4.0 to 4.2GHz to stay in line with Broadwell-EX.
I will try first 2101 than.( somehow I missed to download only that version in my RVE BIOS Collection). Somehow and I think that BIOS Flashback is better than EZ way.
I will kiss board if everything work. Not now, process start for 15-20 days.
I will change and new OS, somehow I installed Legacy not UEFI...@@@...Idiot. If I remember I had some problems with booting,
but now I resolve that and prepare new Windows 7 Ultimate UEFI, she is checked, everything is fine, boot OS from USB and it's ready for installation...

CPU Spread Spectrum - Disabled
AND
VRM Spread Spectrum - Disabled (this option is Disabled Default in 1xxx and 2xxx, Enabled in 3xxx)
= no power loose

I see they are not addressing this problem at all then, maybe this improves system stability?

And of course don't mention adaptive cache voltage!

Hello

Until the broke status changes there is nothing to mention or comment about.

To those who may have had a similar interest to mine, only read the exchange here and never read how it ended at the other forums:

Even I don't care about adaptive cache voltage anymore. Running C-States with Package Limit at "C6 Non-Retention States" accomplishes the purpose of reducing idle cache voltage perfectly well. (It had seemed to give me instability previously, which is why I thought Adaptive Cache Voltage was my only hope).

Honestly it never even occurred to me that anyone would *want* adaptive cache voltage for any other purpose. I know of nothing else it's good for. I even called lower idle cache voltage "the entire point" of adaptive cache voltage several times on the other forum, but no one seemed to pick up what I really wanted out of all this, but whatever.

The point is - you can has lower idle cache voltage without "adaptive cache voltage". C-States, Package Limit of C6 Non Retention State. Works great - in fact, it lowers idle cache voltage even lower than Adaptive Cache Voltage would.

Enjoy.

I'm going to keep this brief as I can. Adaptive has more benefits than the outright visible idle voltage disparity versus a boosted offset. The entire stack at intermediate loads can be lower with adaptive, and that is what matters more, because very little current flows when the system is idle. The loads of a system modulate, and every time they do, the offset VID stack becomes active. If the benefits of offset with deeper c-states outweighed adaptive voltage, Intel would never have needed to develop the latter.

I have no desire to write about this further or exchange more posts on this (especially as things can turn into what we saw at OCN in the Rampage V thread), but as I said before, we don't want to mislead people.

BIOS 3301 is stable, but... compared to the 3202 version there is an issue with the memory settings. If I set the memory to 3000MHz using 100MHz strap RVE shows q-code B7, no post. I had to reduce the memory speed by one small step, from 3000MHz to 2933MHz, and everything works.
Other OC settings have remained the same as well as for the rest of the BIOS series 3000, cores & cache @ 4.5GHz using same voltages, NVMe Samsung 950 Pro over 2500MBs / 1500MBs.
