ASRock Extreme 6 memory 3000mhz+

newlife · Sep 8, 2012, 08:28 PM

hey i just wanted to let everyone know that i updated my extreme 6 bios to the lastest beta bios L1.93a and the only documented change was windows 8 support but among other changes i can now set the ram to 3000mhz(but my patriot g2 can only do 2200)

Bo$$ · Sep 8, 2012, 08:42 PM

Well that's overclocking, not all memory will be capable of doing so. Can you post the rest of your specs please

I dont think there would be many that could run at 3000 but im getting gskill trident x 2666 soon so hopefuly i can then but i will find out when i get it.

Mobo: asrock z77 extreme 6
Cpu: i5 3570 (non k) at 4ghz (Cooled by Cooler Master v8)
Ram: Patriot g2 2x4gb 1600 at 2200 with 9-11-11-11-1t 1.72v
Graphics: gigabyte gtx 560(non ti)
Primary storage: 60gb ssd
Psu: corsair gs-600
Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 (modded for extra air flow and good looks)
OS: windows 7/xp

That's a bit extreme... 1.72v is a lot, 1.65v is the Intel recommended max. You could run the risk of frying your CPU with that voltage.

newlife · Sep 8, 2012, 09:53 PM

its been running like that for about the 2 months on my current cpu with no probs and if it does im getting a new cpu next fortnight (or 2 weeks for ppl who no idea what a fortnight is) to kill with DIce, i've got ln2 pot for main test and am going to try cooling a water cooler(with low temp hoses) with it as well just for a bit of fun

DOM · Sep 8, 2012, 10:20 PM

only way your going to get 3000 is if you cpu can do it and your mem

just cuz its in the bios update notes doesnt mean your going to be able to get that speed

technically the ram would be in an Async Mode of operation

newlife · Sep 8, 2012, 10:33 PM

any ivy bridge cpu should be able to do 3000 because it comes down to the ram, it reachs the speeds by changing ram multi not bus rate

DanishDevil · Sep 8, 2012, 10:34 PM

It does not come down to the RAM, it comes down to the IMC on your CPU as well as the RAM.

ya considering the memory bus isnt through the NB anymore, youd have to increase its clock rate if possible along with voltage, which increases heat in the CPU itself.

Ram timing is a dependent factor too

newlife · Sep 8, 2012, 10:45 PM

anyway i know i5 3570 can do 3000 as i know ppl who have it with gskill trident x 2800 set to 3000

ya that is al ot closer than 2200 or 2400 is, plus timings and voltage come into play. not every computer part is made equally as everything has very minute defects- there is room for error in percents. I found ram to be alot more sensitive to overclock fails than a CPU or GPU.

Overclocking is at end users risk- if you burn the ram or CPU up, youre at fault.

if your machine starts to BSOD or lock up it means overclocking failed. Over time overclocking degrades the circuits layers, Qubit can vouch for that

i am fully aware of that, i only plan on hardware lasting a few months to 1 year MAX (i push things to there max and then let ppl know how it lasted)

and i only make this thread to let ppl know of one change asrock has brought in with a beta bios NOT TO START SOME WAR about if it can be done or not

not arguing with you, just stating limitations to memory/IMC etc is all.

My bros board supports up to 2133MHz Ram but next to it in the manual it states OC by a few values- meaning if i Buy 2133MHz Ram the IMC will be overclocked, if i wanted to run the 2133Mhz ram at its intended speed

this is what it comes down above

idk why ppl think if it says on the box or in a bios update doesnt mean your going to get the same results

idk what war is started its just your not understanding not all CPU's have good IMC and RAM oc the same so this thread is kind of pointless

Maybe if the title was to be changed to.

ok when i get better ram rated at 2666 i will try and find the max my setup can run as far as i know the board and cpu have no prob with 2800 no imc voltage increase needed

DanishDevil · Sep 8, 2012, 11:17 PM

The update basically means they added a memory multiplier so that you can run DDR3 at 3000MHz. It gives no guarantee that your motherboard, memory, or IMC are capable of doing so. Not every Ivy Bridge IMC can handle 3000MHz memory.

Good Luck is all i can say for this as you will need it. When in the event you do get 2666 MHz ram, Just hope the IMC in the CPU can handle the Speed and Voltage increase. Also compare timings to other results too.

to bad i cant change the title, i would if i could and "Latest BETA Bios Enables AsRock Extreme 6 to support 3000+ Mhz (OC)" would be better
