New rig under 75k

^^ if you want performance different aim for 2000 Mhz+ OC speed ( do it in small increments though and you need to over volt and keep cool those memory modules as well ).

2000Mhz? I'm talking about RAM! CPU overclocking does make a noticeable difference!
You are right about RAM overclocking.. no difference w/o increasing voltage

Hey people. Got a few questions. Please answer if you have any idea.

1) Where is the VCCIO Voltage setting option in the BIOS? (Checked both bios version 1206 and 1504) I would like to increase this so as to overclock my RAM.

2) What are these two unknown device? (I have not connected anything except keyboard and mouse to the CPU)

^ i will check out my bios....
but i dont think u need to mess with VCCIO just yet...

 

[sharang.d]

Did you find it yet?
I tried 1.6V for 1600Mhz 8-8-8-24-2
but I could not get past 8-9-8-24.
Then I read that VDRAM and VCCIO should be increased together.. Sooo

hmm.......judging from your sig i say yer gonna gave some trouble ocing that ram...Powerchip XFZ494A3G-A most probably(confirm after getting the exact model no)....get anything like 1866 CL10-10-10-30..
1600 9-8-9-27 if yer extremely lucky....
as for VCCIO..
this comes from the mobo guru himself

I only have the Deluxe here but HQ tells me: Adjust VCCSA to adjust VCCIO. VCCSA is provided by a stepdown reg off VCCIO. When VCCSA is at stock so is VCCIO. On IB VCCSA/IO adjustment does not seem to do much. I think most vendors have done this (or something a little more crude) on their lower end boards that supply IGP voltage.

The RAM that you mentioned.. Is it yours?

Mine is G.Skill F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL X 2 (XMP 9-9-924-2T @ 1600Mhz on 1.5V)
I have successfully OCed it to 8-9-8-24-1T @ 1600Mhz on 1.5V

About the VCCIO thing. I read something similar so I tried increasing VCCSA a bit then I monitored VCCIO under load and it was the same which brought me to the conclusion that VCCSA didn't really affect VCCIO. Who is that guy? I wana get in touch with him.

ya..was mine..got rid of it...the rams you mentioned are most probably Nanya chips..although not enough info is available....8-9-8-24 is good...try tightening it more....
he is RAJA from asus

I have a new issue. Some voltage goes way above/below ideal voltage. Is this just a wrong reading or should I be worried?

Have a look at the screenshots:

Note how the +3.3V has dropped to 0.521V.


Okay I'm really worried now.
+5v @ 0.40V

BUG...use a single one...since all the programs are taking the value from a single register on motherboard one of the apps will show wrong value...

 

[sharang.d]

Yeah.. figured out myself later. HWInfo64 had shown me this warning before enabling sensing from "ASUS EC" sensor. I enabled it anyway
Thanks
