I will regularly update the Ln2 OC Guide and this support thread with latest BIOS and utility as well as XOC results so stay tuned! :)

The LN2 OC guide links to command center.

FPT link is disabled: "https://goo.gl/GJGlXD – this goo.gl shortlink has been disabled. It was found to be violating our Terms of Service. Do not use goo.gl for URLs that are either executable/package files (like .apk, .dmg, .exe, .zip, etc.) or that contain only IP addresses, or for shortening URL re-directors (either off goo.gl or via other URL shortening services)."

Sorry, I'm tired :( both are fixed now, thanks! ;)

Perfect timing! Will bench my first session with this board tomorrow :)

 

Thank you for the guide. Such guides are invaluable!

 

I got board quite late so it took me some time to release it and it's not totally finished yet, I will update it as fast as possible.

Basic primary timings for Samsung IC probably tomorrow. :)

Pepiinorang, are you soldering onto the ST/ST V6 read points before coating the board for cold?

I use Vaseline ;)

You could do it if you wish but I never needed much on ES CPUs and values set in BIOS are correct (just remind it show 0.25v lower in Command Center Lite).

I can do 6.3G Cinebench R15 on my best two 6700K with CPU ST/ST V6 Auto and ln2 mode on (1.25v). I tried up to 1.8v but it didn't do any difference above 1.32v.
