Not sure what else to suggest, it may just be a weak imc or the fact that your using 8gb sticks.

Ok, nevertheless thankx for your help. I'll leave it @ last stable, 380MHz fewer should be acceptable to me.

Have you attempted higher BCLK?

Just for info, I'm running 205 with x21 multi giving me 4.3ghz

RAM @ x8 multi, giving me 1640mhz. I'm only running 12GB though, 3x 4gb sticks

Have you tried 200x22 to give 4.4Ghz and 1600Mhz ram?

That's what I'm running, with 6x4Gb sticks.

MaXxOnOC · 27 Jan 2020 at 12:09

@Kelt @mushtafa nope, never tried. Quiet happy with the 4.18GHz. Maybe I'll try it later.

I tried that on my old 5650 but it didn't like it. Not tried it on this 5660 yet

Oh, and just thought. X5660 max multi is 21 sort from turbo boost. I've got 4.3 locked on all cores

I just looked it up, didn't know that.

So it's got a lower multi than the X5650...weird.

Mine boosts to 4.6 on single core boost.

When I had my x58 I'm pretty sure I had my team running just shy of 1900mhz and that was with 8gb sticks of dominator platinum (2400mhz stuff) populating all the slots... I thought the imc was pretty good on these? Mind you, I did have to drop the overclock from memory to 4.2

mushtafa · 27 Jan 2020 at 19:06

I did play with turbo boost, but the single core boost was too high and unstable

MaXxOnOC · 28 Jan 2020 at 01:31

Higher OC settings: 4290MHz (195 x 22) @ 1,296V.
Prime-Stable after ~2hr max.Heat!

Joxeon · 28 Jan 2020 at 01:38

That's a bit toasty, what do you have cooling it? Voltage is pretty good for the clock, I recon it will do 4.5~6 if you can keep temps under control.

Noctua NH-U12P
In summer I've planned to exchange it for a better one.

CPU-Z fluctuates in Voltage between 1,296V and 1,312V ...is that normal?

mushtafa · 28 Jan 2020 at 07:45

2 hours on Prime is not needed, and those temps are a tad high. I don't think I've ever hit 70

MaXxOnOC · 28 Jan 2020 at 13:07

Back to safer temps. Now with 4,22GHz @ 1,264V. Stable after 20min. Prime (Max-Heat-Test).

Was temped to do a ryzen build with a 1600 af or 2700x but decided to squeeze a bit more out my x5670

EX58-UDR3 1.6 with FK BIOS
Cpu multi 24 Have boost on
QPi multi 36
Uncore 15
Blck 175
Memory Multi 10

LLC enabled
dvid +0.175
qpi vtt 1.25 or something
cpu pll 1.4
ddr 1.6v cas 9-11-11-31 t2 (thought it was 10-11-11-31 t2)
other voltages set manually to standard

Has Hyperthreading and all c states and boost enabled gives (4.2ghz at 24 with vcore 1.36) and (4.35ghz at 25 with vcore 1.376v) idle at 2.1 at 1.088v

BFV is my stability tester it will crash with a 0xc0000005 way faster than prime95. managed a 2 hours session last night and quit

This is paired with a sapphire rx 480 8gb and 12gb corsair 1600 cl9

Still performs well enough that i am scared that i might disappointed with a ryzen upgraded.

It wouldn't make a huge difference unless you upgraded your gpu to something more powerful. If it's mainly used for gaming your probably better upgrading that first depending on your budget.

A lot of improvements have been made over the 12 years since X58. I doubt anyone would be disappointed with a Ryzen upgrade.

I have just upgraded from a X5675 running at 4.26ghz, UD5 X58 mobo - to a Ryzen 3700X - and it is wickedly fast, no regrets whatsoever.
The X58 was still playing all games at good FPS (GTX1080Ti), sad to see it go - I didn't desperately need to upgrade but I got the itch and I am glad I did now.

Still happy with mine.

Going to hold out until DDR5 and the next AMD socket.

My X58 UD5 settings for 4.26ghz stable (if it helps):

EX58-UD5 F13 BIOS
Xeon X5675
Cpu clock ratio 21
QPi ratio 36
Uncore 17
Memory x8
Blck 203

LLC enabled
CPU clock drive 800mV
PCI clock drive 900mV
Vcore 1.328v
qpi vtt voltage 1.335v
cpu pll 1.4
ddr 1.5v cas 9-9-9-24 t1 (12gb x3 4gb sticks 1600mhz)
XMP disabled - enter manually
Extreme performance enhance on /DRAM selectable Quick
PCI express freq 101

COuld o/c to near 4.6ghz but needed more volts / gave more heat
Ran like a dream and cool with these settings

I'm tempted to jump on Zen 3 this year... that itch is getting worse
