Can you upload your BIOS settings here as a txt file so we can take a look?
https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?99003-HELP-4-9ghz-max-on-Maximus-X-HeroIs there a way i can copy it? otherwise i have posted all the BIOS pictures with my settings and also the changes i have made.
Sync all cores = 50-52 and with Speed shift turned on it won't go past 49x AVX on 0,1,2,3 still makes max 4.9GHz
Adaptive V I have tried manual and auto also no difference.
power limits max
XMP and Manual.
I have tried changing all settings and the ONLY setting that i can change that will push it over 4.9GHz is turning Intel Speed Shift Technology Off. However in doing this when I try to do a stress test, Cinebench, realbench, Prime95 etc it actually slows it down over 5mins realbench went from 5.0GHz down to 4.1GHz. HWinfo did not record temp nor power throttling. Temps are MAX 80deg, Windows is on Balanced have tried performance and no effect.
Could this be either hardware or could this be a windows problem and how it handles speed shift? I had a Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 7 and 7700K Running 64c @ 5.0GHz before i changed the motherboard and CPU and now won't go over 4.9GHz.
