flashed new beta bios and got 170 bclk
Kinda curious where people are getting beta BIOS.
But good news: Z87-Plus BIOS update! Can anyone shed more light on item 4? (Z87-A also got this BIOS update).
Z87-PLUS BIOS 1204
1. Revise help string for the German / Simplified Chinese / Korean Language.
2. Updated over voltage warning range.
3. Enhance PCIE 3.0 compatibility.
4. Enhance CPU performance when all CPU power saving functions are disabled in BIOS.
5. Enhance SATA Port Remaning function to remember SATA port name after BIOS update.
6. Enhance DRAM compatibility.
7. Enhance USB HID device compatibility on USB 3.0 ports.
8. Add new option "Memory Scrambler" under Advanced\system agent configuration\memory configuration for more DRAM tuning flexibility.
P.S. My 4.8GHz overclock started crashing in games, I'm guessing its no coincidence that it started when this heat wave hit. Good thing UPS should be dropping off my h220 tomorrow. Also, dropping my cache speed to 3.9GHz helped with stability when I used Per-Core overclocking. Anyone know the difference between 48x Sync All Cores and Per-Core with all cores at 48x? Why would Per-Core be less stable?
