Hi all,
Just built a new machine comprising of:-
Intel 5960X
Asus x99 deluxe
32Gb of Kingston hyper x Ram 3000Mghz 4x8 kit
Corsair 860AXi psu
etc
Building this machine for somebody else so need to resolve the issues which are:-
I am unable to set the ram timings manually using 100 strap - will not boot with error code bd or b6?
If I set xmp to on the ram runs at expected speed - but turbo mode for cpu is disabled and for some weird reason the multiplier is set to 32 which equals 4000Mghz or 4 Gb for the chip speed - it also sets the voltage to 1.2v.
This is not what I want. I would have thought that the ram would have worked at proper speed and timings on the 100 strap as 30x100 = 3000Mghz and the cpu should be happy with a ratio of 30x100 which gives default speed unclocked of 3000Mghz too or 3Gb.
Where am I going wrong here - or do I have a problem with mobo/ram or compatibility? I have upgraded the boards bios to latest 2001 so that should be ok.
I don't have any of these problems with my own RIVE X99 setup - albeit using 3200 Gskill ram on that machine.
Anybody know how to solve these issues - or where I am going wrong?
Your help would be appreciated.
Forgot to mention that if I set the ram to 2666 speed it works ok on 100 strap, but no higher - weird or what?
