    The sm961 vs the Samsung 960 pro

    I don't know if this was mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but I thought I would share it. I once read that disabling C-states in the BIOS also helps with getting maximum PCIe SSD scores.

    Yeah I know its a mental thing, lol. When you buy something that says 1600 Mhz on the package, that is what you want out of it right? So mentally speaking it hurts me to see it drop down to 1400 Mhz, lmao ;) and the next step up on the ram scale is in the 1800 range, and my DNA wants to select...

    I'm actually wondering if that new bios from bios-mods is ok or not? I mean when I defaulted the settings I noticed that the bios booted up with IDE set as the default and I thought it was always AHCI that was considered the default storage protocol on this board. Then when I changed it back to...

    I only been messing with Windows today. The Ubuntu drive is uninstalled. Decided to stop messing with it after the crash, even though I feel like it had nothing to do with the overclock and everything to do with shitty Windows. After 16+ or more years messing with hardware this last 5 or so has...

    Well today I went into the device manager and discovered the new driver I installed yesterday wasn't starting, it had the yellow exclamation. So I did like anyone would do and removed it the normal way expecting Windows to use the built in driver, and guess what? The damn thing died completely...

    Quick update before I reply with further details. Yes it runs exactly as expected at defaults. Yes windows is the very latest version build 14379 and its about two days old. Only chrome and hwmonitor, cpuz and core temp have been installed so far. Yes I installed the recommended Intel driver...

    OK primetime I tried your settings (which I have ran before). Windows 10 runs the same as always, but now I'm at 4.2Ghz = no change. Windows 10 still does NOT Restart, it just sits there forever with the spinning circle dots until I get angry and shut it down. Boot into Ubuntu, hit the shutdown...

    Thanks for the reply. Well the PCIe can't be true because 1.51v is the minimum voltage setting that can be obtained. So any change what so ever would be going over the safe limit? Asus would not design it like that. My PCIe min/max is 1.51v-2.78v as evident in the below image. On CPU PLL, I...

    Hey guys, I been fighting with my RIIIE for some time now (all year since about last summer to now) trying to get data transfers stable and Windows reboots/sleeps etc stable. Much of that time I just left Windows and used Ubuntu because it has none of these issues. Windows itself runs great and...

    So no idea what I need to adjust in the BIOS to get back USB 3 speeds?

    Yeah but the other site also has a Guide with everything in one place. You should at the very least run v11.2 or higher as tests have shown. I can't remember the number now as its been a long time but I think its v11.2.0.1527. OK, yeah that is the proper version that should be ran as it has the...

    Anyone notice if their USB 3.0 chips degrades when the system is overclocked? On my R3E I can't get normal USB 3 speeds when overclocked, but if I drop the bios to defaults then my USB 3.0 flash drives scream above advertised speeds. If I overclock the system, usually 200x20 then both my USB 3.0...

    Yeah, it seems some boards are different or some apps not telling the truth. But I am pretty sure per Intel it is how I listed it. 23 is only with Turbo enabled and only works on two cores. I never could get it to work on two cores, only one. And that was VERY VERY RARE. lol
