9600KF Unexpected Overclock

[storm-chaser]

I haven't gone above 5.2ghz as i don't want to risk damaging my cpu nor will i try for the hell of it lol.

The box fan prevents any and all CPU damage

I have my 9600k OC'ed to a modest 4.6 beyond that and voltage is required.
What memory are you using, I cant seem get mine to run at 15,17,17,37 stable and I have corsair vengenace lpx 3000mhz.

Never used that particular memory. But we may still be able to help you out.

Im using Patriot Viper Steel 4133MHz C19 16GB kit.
I currently have it at 4200MHz C15 (15-15-15-35-320) with a voltage of 1.55.

Do you know if you have B-die memory? As you probably know, b-die is the best. If not, you can:

Download Thaiphoon Burner and see what type of memory you have. First go here for link:
Thaiphoon Burner - Official Support Website (softnology.biz)

Download the program, unpack and run. Select EEPROM and choose Read SPD... (post your results, you will see I labeled them with a red dot below, what we need)

@storm-chaser on the program you shared. it doesn't give me that information.

So I dialled down the CPU to 4.5Ghz and I can now set the timings correctly.
Awesome overclock you have, maybe you can teach me
