I've been holding back from pushing vcore until I felt relatively sure I had most bios setting fairly close to correct. I will adjust vpll

3 cores seem to be ok for 01 (most important ), 03 and 05. specially under air / water you will have better temps and can go 1.56-1.58V with a good cooler no worries.
maybe you can also try a bit playing with vccsa when testing higher ram - some guys can leave it at auto, I need ~0.96 under single stage and 1-1.05V air for 2133+.

I forgot to remind you not to turnoff power/AC/Clear cmos when you see debug port ‘62’ or ‘71’ or ‘81’ during the updating of various firmware after bios update and let them update properly

Anyone got an idea what A2 post code stands for? I was overclocking ram with 1.72v and cpu with 1.52v and it locked up. When I reset all I get is A2. I swapped out ram - same thing. I tried new cpu and got error code 58
I put the first cpu back in. Post code holds at 62 for a few seconds and then flashes 99 and then goes to A2. Unfortunately I don't have a backup vga to try.

leave the mobod running
when u see 62 etc (not b2) right??

btw please use the clear cmos at the i/o to really clear it out and not the red button one that does nto clear some settings on standby power

Lardy you know me well. Monitor is connected!!!! PCIE Disable Switches are ON. I cleared cmos by I/O several times and I tried different PCIE slots. I will have to get another video card to try. Maybe Walker (The Nemesis) can bring me one
