K, without going in to the BIOS yet, I opened up the ASUS TurboV EVO app, and here are the options it gives me to play with:
Fast and Extreme auto-tuning (of Course)
Under Manual Mode:
BCLK Frequency 100.3 100.3 (MHz)
CPU Voltage 1.165 1.165 (V)
DDR Voltage 1.5000 1.5000(V)
Advanced Mode"
VCCIP Voltage 1.05000 1.05000
CPU PLL Voltage 1.80000 1.80000
PCH VOltage 1.05 1.05
CHA DATA 0.500 0.500
CHA CTRL 0.500 0.500
CHB DATA 0.500 0.500
CHB CTRL 0.500 0.500
(There is ample room on all the above sliders)
There's an option called CPU Ratio, but you have to reboot to find out what it changes.
There's an tool Called EPU, but I've got it set for High performance already. CPU is 32C at idle, MB is 28C.
I have NOT messed with DIGI+VRM yet. Phase control is set to extreme. Load-line calibration is Regular, CPU Current Capability is at 100%, Frequency is set to AUTO (Spread Spectrum and VRM Fixed mode are set to OFF), and Duty Contorl is set to T. Probe.. I'm pretty sure all those are the defaults.
I've have to dig up my manual, to see what options are available in the BIOS.
Anybody got any free time to help my figure this out? I just want to get the CPU to a nice4 stable 4GHz, and maybe boost the RAM a touch.
EDIT:
since it was asked, I have a Cooler Master case, with a 120 or 140 mm rear fan, and giant 200+mm side fane, a 120mm blowhole fan, and two 120mms up front for the HDDs. Have an upper mounting modular PS, and a two fan, closed loop Sapphire HD7950, with a baffle covering it for airflow.
EDIT 2: On a side note, I wish Asus included swappable op-amps like Gigabyte does. I don't have the greatest speakers in the universe, but the audio sounds flat and terrible, even thru my nice headphones. No amount of messing with the Realtek equalizer can create anything remotely acceptable.
