Been running few mins now. From. Stream CPU at. 52c notice the CPU speed drop from 4000mhz to 3900mhz and go back up again. That part of stress test from prime95?

When prime95 is running should I see any data movement on screen I have screen saying worker starting. On worker#1-8

yes in prime it should state what test it is running 512k etc

Ok I was impatient. After couple mins the text changed. I have. Fstream running behind to keep eye on temp. What temp is dangerous level?

as long as it is below say 80degrees your ok

those temps are well in the green here is my prime 95 at 5ghz after 4 hours

Where can I see llc? What menu option? Would have to stop test to reboot and. Go in bios. Tho I'm thinking I may bump it up to 4500 and try it. Why do people say I can't go past 4000 if running 16gb ram?

buzzlightweight · 3 Sep 2011 at 11:28

im not sure how ram effects an oc but it does? two sticks are better than four, one is better than two.

see the llc lvl?

grantsmith82 · 3 Sep 2011 at 11:30

Ok I'm gonna reboot and amend setting as above for the 4500 Brb

In bios now. My CPU pull voltage is at auto. 1.832. Shall I manual this to 1.709?

grantsmith82 · 3 Sep 2011 at 11:35

Also in CPU setting I dint see c6. Only under drop down for package c support. Buts that's set to disable. That right?

yes it will save you heat and at 4.5 you dont really need a high pll

yes thats right under cpu con fig

Just booted at 4500. In he monitor. CPU vcore. Is 1.34v

grantsmith82 · 3 Sep 2011 at 12:00

(I thought I posted this but don't look like it sent). Booted in windows now at 4500. Hw monitor states CPU vcore is 1.34v. Anything else to check? Cpuz detects the core speed at 4500. CPU temps between 29-37 on idle across 4 cores

grantsmith82 · 3 Sep 2011 at 12:02

Running prime95 CPU temp 53. CPU speed dropped to 4000mhz. X40.0

grantsmith82 · 3 Sep 2011 at 12:03

Now dropped to 3800

buzzlightweight · 3 Sep 2011 at 12:33

have you disabled intel speed step and all the c states?

buzzlightweight · 3 Sep 2011 at 12:39

just upping some pics brb

WOW Thats not great service from OCUK. Only 4Ghz with 16Gb of memory??? You may as well have saved the money and not bothered. I have no issues running 4.6ghz with 16gb and have built a large quantity of the same config all running 4.5ghz prime stable for 50+ Hours with 16gb. Sounds as if a) they were being a bit lazy or b) that board is a poor overclocker... But according to other users its not.

buzzlightweight · 3 Sep 2011 at 12:48

just to clear some things up this is my set up which i doubt will work for you as all chips are different and you have 4 sticks of ram also.

bios (sorry for bad pics!)

cpu config

ram config

cpu ratio 50

my volts

after an iffy start i actually find it a good board

How can I upload pics? Stress test running for good couple hours now and its at 3900. X39. Surely it shouldn't be dropping. If someone can tell me how I'll do screen shot of my bios setup
