In this thread we will post tools for Z390 DARK OC, like software, BIOS and other bits and pieces to make get good OC results.

• OC Software

 
ELEET Basic 11/28 - Z390 - Updated 11/24
ELEET Basic 12/05 - Z390 - No WMI dependency, supports WinXP
 
ELEET Lite version, with all non-related to OC stuff removed, so it loads bare minimum to do realtime settings adjustments.
 
This is not a setup package, so you must unpack the program into folder, and run by executing ELeetX_x64.exe (or ELeetX for 32-bit OS). Make sure WinRing0 and FlashTool folders are present in same location, or program will not run.
 

 
 
Tips and tricks
 
WIP

Hi Tin,
 
is there a light version for the X299 Dark as well?

when you get the chance, can you explain VRM voltages and how they help.   seems they range from 300-1000 and default is 500 khz.

Sure, that will be separate thread about Vdroop and VRM basics, as it apply for all motherboards, not just Z390 Dark.

I would echo Snipes7 question.  E-leet for the X299 Dark freezes windows when any change on the voltage tab is applied or when saving or loading a profile.  This happens when the DRAM profile needs a high voltage of 1.40v or more, including XMP profiles.  DRAM profile that needs 1.35v or less does not suffer the freezing. Does E-leet briefly drop DRAM voltage in the process of changing other voltages?

the voltage slider does not work. it's not set to what is set in bios, and any change on it results in a instant freeze.

still nothing?
