latest M5F BIOS 0095:

Updates Performance table
Adds IGPU Disable option in SA
Adds 'Ignore' option under BCLK Recovery , Ignore = Disabled + BIOS ignores to resume BCLK to BIOS setting during resets so that BCLK adjustments with OCKEY/TurboV does not trigger a full reset @ resets.



ln2 mode enable + extreme ov enable gives 2.4vcore (2.4vcore is a cpu killa, i would not try that) / 2.4vdimm max (do also note that cpus tend to like only high vdimm like 2v when cold. Sometimes high vdimm likes higher VTTDDR)



IMC dram offset is the amount of dram voltage the imc sees (not the real dram voltage). it wiull affect stabiluty specially superpi and auto usually works well but for last mhz stability u can go up or down 1 or 2 notches and test the diff.

To run everything frozen the whole day:

With Ivy benching the whole board gets so cold especially with CPU and DRAM on LN2 so some guys may like some pointers in insulation. Here’s my way of doing it:

First remove all heatsinks, cover the whole front and back of board with Vaseline:



Slightly trickier part comes with regards to the DIMM slots. Brush a decent amount onto them:



Use a hairdryer and melt all on the slots so that you are left with a thin coat in them:



You should be left with something like this



Next are the rams. It is better if you can remove heat-spreaders and spread Vaseline directly. If unable or you don’t wish to, you can brush on decent amount at the openings and gold fingers:


And then same thing use a hairdryer and melt it all so that it flows into the cracks and crevices.
Before mounting on the rams, wipe off Vaseline from gold fingers of rams with your fingers.

Then cover / stuff the whole board, at the back and the front, with paper towels so that it looks like garbage trash:






Finally mount on your ram pot



Keep a hairdryer handy nearby, if rams get too cold and stuck at ‘55’ even with safe ‘OC Failed’ mode (always use the 4 second power down to trigger a recovery rather than other methods), remove ram pot and heat rams, pressing reset repeatedly till ‘55’ goes away. Then put ram pot back on.


When pushing PCIE clocks (ie. BCLK) in Multi Card config, as long as BCLK is smaller than 113MHz, it may be best to set Gen 3 Preset under System Agent to Preset 3, whether in Gen 2.0 or 3.0:

You like the vaseline. All this time I thought you were an eraser man. Nice method you have there.

Art eraser holds the cold so you keep getting the hole board colder and colder..

why u so crever you?

[Splave]

I have a mem pot on order but dont want to wait for it, so I have been rummaging through the kitchen and best I can find is a metal cup measure with some change in it rofl

any ideas for a makeshift mem pot great shambino?

I know a few guys at OCN use makeshift RAM pots out of Aluminum foil, or as the Europeans call it, Al-u-miniume

[Janus67]

Yep one or two from OCF did aluminum foil pots as well
