Btw the 5d MK II was the best purchase i've ever made in photography with the exception of the 70-200 f2.8 mKII. It's such a good camera that it's hard NOT to take a good picture

Shot details: 5d mk II w/ 100 mm 2.8 L IS macro
F2.8
1/25 exposure (hand held ofc)
iso - 25600 (H2 in mkII's settings)

You can imagine how dark it was as I took this. The 24-70 is just plain sexy , so here's a picture to help motivate your purchase.

Going from 5d I to II would be a big difference for me.

Okay, heres what i want you to do. Turn of CPU EIST functions. Disable turbo boost tech.

set cas, trcd, and trp to 9 and tras to 23.change trfc to 56.

Enabled base clock control and change the frequency from 133 to 185. Set system memory multiplier to where it will get you 1400-1600mhz (most likely 8x).

Change pci-e frequency from auto to 100mhz.

Under voltage controls, set load line calibration to level 2. Change cpu v-core to 1.325v~. Set qpi/vtt voltage to 1.3v, ioh core to 1.2v and dram voltage to 1.63v.

Save settings and restart. See if it boot into windows, it should hopefully.. when it does, run Linx again to check for stability, If a BSOD occurs, jog down the error code and tell me what it is. (also monitor your temps).

If it fails to boot, reset your cmos and let me know, i'll tweak some more settings.
