Use around 6. That's probably why you need so much VCINN Matt if youre using 3. LLC directly affects this voltage on this platform, not vcore. I hope you tried more than that before sending the chip back...lol

I still have the chip so i tried it (LLC 6) and it made no difference at all apart from pushing up voltage and temps.

What's the best software to monitor vcore levels, still cpu-z?
 
Hey silent scone - some advice please if you would be so kind.

I am running my 5960 at 4.4Ghz stable at 1.3v using adaptive voltage and speedstep so it clocks the v core down at idle. Memory I am running at correct timings but 1T instead of 2T - I.e standard timings of 16,16,16,36 1T @1.35V.

The problem I have is I tried to go up to 4.5 and it was passing aida fine, until I stopped the test and as soon as I did I got a blue screen Memory_Management. So I am thinking maybe the memory controller on the chip has crapped out or could it be something else?

Is there a way to give a bit more voltage to the memory controller without upping v core?
I am assuming that as I am running adaptive set to plus rather than - it is not a case that volyage drops too low at idle - as surely that would be a possibility if I was using negative increment for adaptive?

Should I just up the v core on the ram slightly - don't think I should need to but? Or should I try setting the ram back to 2T - don't think that should really be it either.

Any advice please as how to go on this?

Thanks for your guide btw - looking good.

Probably not enough DRAM voltage. You want to run HCI in my guide with at least 12 instances and 85% memory. Add maybe 10 to 20mv onto DRAMV for command rate 1. If not you may have to tune system agent to see what works best for you at that frequency. System Agent controls DMI / PCI and IMC voltages

Ahoy, just about to have my first foray into socket 2011 and was wondering what chip I'm best aiming at.

I've got a single 780Ti at the moment, but in time will most likely SLI and run an M2 SSD. So I'm guessing a 40 lane chip would be a better long term investment. Or, get the 5820k now and then when SLI becomes an option see what Broadwell offers?

What sort of clocks are people seeing on recent 5820s?
 
Latest 'GA-X99-UD4 - F12' Bios has seemed to end my boot up woes with different memory speeds.

Now at 2400mhz and no issues, also you get a nice free OC with higher memory speed and default CPU clock, for some reason the higher memory speed the higher CPU clock speed, this works for Xeon's as well.

3000 seems to be the optimum frequency on this platform if you have a board that will reach it. 2666 seems to be the best balance

3000Mhz was achieved on my EVGA mATX X99 mobo simply by setting XMP Profile, no voltage tweaks etc.
(The only other thing I did was put the latest BIOS in, as beforehand one of the sticks kept being unrecognised and showing 12Gb...seems fine now)

All CPUs pretty much should be able to achieve 3000. Some may just need to adjust SA voltage. Good to see other board vendors catching up :p
