Where are you seeing the voltage overvolting? I want to check on mine?

In your bios. If it's a gigabyte it will overvolt.

You only see what it's added after you reboot and log back in to the bios.

I'm at 1.47v but in reality it's flicks between 1.488-1.5v.

So with a score of 221 should I just be happy or chase down why I can't turn off GDM?

At 1.5v I started getting blue screens and even at 1.51v I was still getting loads of errors.

I'm down from 250-245 to 221 so I guess it's just time to be happy and call it a day.

I'd be very happy with 221 especially as you only paid for 3200Mhz, so 3600C14 and tight timings that is no mean feat!

Plus you've taken 29 secs off of your original benchmark!

Yup. Time to call it a day I think. I think I'm starting to annoy people in this thread.

Also your 215 compared to my 221 is 3% according to my calculations.

Hmm

I will try to see if I can turn off GDM but I am already at 1.47v and the bios overvolts it to 1.488-1.5v so anymore and I will be over 1.5v.

I'm now at 1.51v and with GDM enabled at 1.5v Igor a blue screen during memtest.

Mine will definitely not do GDM off.

Apparently it's all good at 1.5 max. Personally I just keep everything a click under the max I find.
A bit of a safety blanket if you will.

I know the board measurements read about 0.02v more on the vdimm pins. So my 1.4v in bios and sw is actually 1.42 with a multimeter.

Cracking overclock tbh. Be happy and enjoy.

But this begs the question, what on earth is 1usmus doing with his updates, because they seem to do going backwards rather than forward....

1.7.3 seems rubbish

Apparently this is another issue with the IMC. I'm not entirely sure if it's just because the IMC is lacking or if it's due to the very low latency primary. If you really wanted to be sure, up your tCL to 16 and try that with GDM off.

@opethdisciple Check the Dram overclocking guide on the help page of Dram calculator.
Trouble shooting tips and tricks.

Have a read there are lots of suggestions of what to change for errors.

A change to procODT or RTT is required when the system does not POST, has a huge number of errors, or a BSOD occurs.

That rings a bell. I've seen it before although from a quick scan on the net couldn't find it.

I did find this though which has some tweaks from what I am currently using and is probably faster. But then is it really worth the time investment.

After getting the membench time down to 221 I then spent time to stability test it. Not sure I can be bothered now to tweak the settings further.

This is a generic bdie timings which must be from when the 2700x was the flagship as this is the chip they used in the review.

The major differences are slightly tighter tRFC 288 -> 278 and slightly tighter tRDRDSCL & tWRWRSCL of 3 compared to my 4.

Stop suggesting to me tweaks because I will never stop.

@Space Monkey Have you tried to play any games? I had a quick blast of BFV and something feels off. I am not getting good FPS at all. Around 60-70 fps in BFV.

Which makes me think the ram is the issue.

Dunno if it's the map or the server perhaps that is the reason for the poor fps.

Is that at the new settings you've dialed in? What FPS were you getting beforehand?

I've not played with any real meaning but had a quick blast, didn't really notice anything untoward?

Yea new ram timings. I'm not sure what I was getting before as I never bothered to check. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Perhaps it's normal and I just didn't know how low it was having never checked.

Maybe you could save the current bios settings as a profile, then reset to basic and just use XMP, then play BFV again to see how it plays and FPS? If worse just load in the saved profile and go back to the faster RAM setup?
