***Haswell -E Owners Thread***

It's funny you should say that because the same thing happened to me on Thursday. Wasn't booting etc until I discovered my HDD had died also.

Ah that's weird, well at least we are both sorted now

what sort of clocks are you getting Wiry?

Quick run of Cinebench earlier @ 4.5GHz. I left strap alone, 1.31V on core. I'll have a go with the strap later

I've also tightened the avexir's timings a little, running them at 2666MHz CL12... I'm going to have a play at tuning them later also.

Wow nice,

I get around 1290 @4.5, not touched the timings though, didn't realise they make that much difference!

 

[McstylisT]

Nice scores guys. Not sure its the exact same with x99 , but z97 and prior liked tight ram and a decent ring/uncore/catch speed to match the clock. Thats what brings the best results in general.

 

[Boomstick777]

Some nice scores in here, really liking X99 so far Hopefully future bios improvements will mean we can get better or more stable higher overclocks.

Boom are you using strap (125) to overclock? have you noticed any issues playing games or benchmarking?

The issue i have is that while using strap 125 helps me overclock, if i run any benchmarks like firestrike etc, on the gpu test it crashes

Should the CPU be upside down in the board?

Mine is upside down

Cheers, wasn't sure what was going on

No mate, to get to 4.5Ghz I just change the multi to 4.5 on all cores, +0.200v on the auto voltage, + 1.15 vring. Then a little bump on the other voltages.

Rgr that,

I've started again, didn't touch the ram as that seems to be causing most of my issues.

left it @2133, cpu host@100mhz, cpu vrin @1.900, cpu vcore @1.3200 (max i'm happy with until we know more)

Got to 4.6 before it crashed in windows, happy with 4.5 on six cores, i then set about overclocking the memory, dram volts @1.35, memory @2666mhz 16-16-16-36.

No issues so far, will keep tightening the timings and see how that goes.


Edited- Memory now at 14-14-14-36

This is all i have to show atm, as i'm off out on the ****

I'm happy with [email protected], passes all tests, runs cool.

Would be appreciated if you could post what setting etc you use.

[email protected] sounds like an ES chip? Or very lucky silicone lottery?

 

[uksoldierboy]

1+ if you can please Stu.

 

[Boomstick777]

Found the sweet spot for my setup.

Leave all settings on default 'Optimized'.

Then change all cores turbo to > 4.4Ghz.

Then just set voltage to 'normal' +0.0200v.

Gives up to 1.35v.

No need to change anything else !

Awesome

IntelBurnTest all cores under 80c.

or a walk though.

 

[stulid]

I will give more info later on the exact setings, but all I did was CPU/Turbo to 47X and LLC to extreme, vcore set to 1.31v

here is my current oc on my 5930k did aida64bit test today while at work and was running smothly sorry forgot to screen shot it
