Hi

I've just tried this on a asrock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 motherboard and after a 30min test, I got about 1-2 kh/s more. So without doing a 12 hour test I would say there was no change.

i tried it and couldnt get it to work. i too have the asrock z77 extreme 4

I have this motherboard as weel. Together with an Intel Core i5 3570K.

But its not so stable as I first thought, after a few hours the hash rate drops down to +-500.

I'm now testing with 97Mhz. This give me still a small 20khas/s more.

Very good find! Latency, latency, latency. Did you also disable everything not relevant for mining, including audio and firewire?

Is that an Asrock 970 or other model?

Anyone else try this? I think I'll give it a go

Edit: EasyTune for Gigabyte MB's doesn't let you change PCIe frequency, only cpu frequency :/

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure if this works for everyone and if this is posted before but i found a way to get around 30 to 40 khas more for each gpu i have.

I have an ASRock extreme 4 motherboard and with the ASRock tool AXTU i changed the PCIE frequency from the motherboard to 95 MHz. And this gave 35 khash/s more!!!
