Pretty standard for Windows

Always thought that was the OS footprint in memory but could be wrong



Im back up and running with my i5 /Win8 , Im going to talk to OC in the morning.

Not sure what Im going to do to be honest

I'm going to be DSRing this UD4 and grabbing a SOC instead i think.

Cheers FrankJH, yeah I just wandered why some ram wasn't available. If uksoliderboy's is the same then it's all good.

I'm going to persevere with this mobo. Gigabyte will get there with the bios updates, and I only paid £150 for it Whole setup was a bargain imho.

 

[Boomstick777]

I'm wondering if have faulty memory or board..

Have you re-formated? Try your ram in different slots, I'm using 4 x white slots. Registers all 16GB just for some reason doesn't let you use it all

 

[Boomstick777]

Have moved the memory around to different slots, updated the BIOS and loaded the XMP profile, seems to have stabilized it now

Now for some reason though windows has de-activated itself!

Nice one, is your ram now installed in the light or dark slots?

 

[Boomstick777]

Still installed in the red slots, but they now have one stick from each set together.

When i had set 1 together in slots A1 B1 and set 2 in C1 D1 they didn't work, so now moved one from each over and working fine

Glad you got it sorted, if you right click 'my computer' does it show 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)?

 

[Boomstick777]

Got my ram on its way, finally!! Very good price too Gone for the G Skill 2666 as i heard it should clock fairly well, still waiting on the rampage

Nice, what chip did you go for?

 

[Boomstick777]

That'll be early next week as i'm away for long weekend and i couldn't bear the thought of it being there doing nothing!! Oh it will be a 5960X not worth upgrading otherwise.

Sweet, get some results in the thread when you're setup

 

[Boomstick777]

Mine's now running happy along at 4.5 @1.320, but memory is at default (2133), would be nice to run it higher but it's still early days.

I have decided to swap this UD4 out for the SOC though and rehome the system is a white Luxe.

Same here mate, default 2133 gives stability. Future bios updates should make higher memory speeds more stable.

I'm at 4.0Ghz + 2133 for 24/7 use.

 

[Boomstick777]

Can peeps with i7 5820K, 5930K and 5960X plz post their highest stable overclocks.

We can get a rough idea of what performance is attainable in a home users PC.

Cheers.

 

[Boomstick777]

Good idea, when people do, can you post up in the OP?

That's what I'm thinking, if anybody is good at charts feel free to post them an we can add them to the first page.

My current max stable overclock is 4.5Ghz.

 

[Boomstick777]

Another thing i've noticed is that my max overclock on my 290X has dropped an awful lot.

from 1270-1280 to around 1200 even with the Blck @100.

That's weird. Wander if the power delivery with the new mobo setup is somehow different. Maybe could effect the max overclock?

My 780Ti max clocks have gone up with this setup. Can finally break 16000 in 3D Mark 11, not sure why it sees my 5820K as a 5960X? If only the Ti's could be voltage unlocked.. It would fly..

[Boomstick777]

I have the same bloody low physics bug with AMD and benchmarks, it's an issue with powerplay, only way to kinda of fix it is enable "without powerplay support in AB.

Only that crashes the system now, at this rate i'll be going green soon.

Could be good timing grab yourself a GTX 980.

Broomstick - Can you add voltages as well, would be helpful for expectations.

Broomstick? No worries Tossi~

If people can post their max stable overclock with what voltage and if it's set or adjustable. That would be good.

so far so good 5930k @ 4.5Ghz offset + 0.200

Added to the OP

 

[Boomstick777]

1.5Ghz, impressive

Lol

 

[Boomstick777]

What about stewie?

And me

Can I have your clocks and volts plz guys.

@ jimbaw and Streetlight, are you both running 5930K's?

 

[Boomstick777]

Me,

5960K
SOC Force
4.7GHz
1.31V

Can run cinebench at 1.28-1.29, but 1.31V passes Realbench and that's a mutha to pass.

Very nice, added to OP.

 

[Boomstick777]

Its interesting how the reported core speed is not the max turbo value for a single active core.

Yeah same with 5820K, max for single and two cores is 3.6Ghz but CPUZ shows 3.4Ghz, which is what all other cores run at.

 

[Boomstick777]

5930K 3.8 @ 1.14V.

You're running at stock?

 

[Boomstick777]

Show me yours, stock etc and a few loops into super Pi.

Will do at some point, I'm using my PC atm.

Plus it's running spot on @ 4.0Ghz for 24/7 don't want to risk unleashing the never-ending cycle of booting straight to Windows, and having to furiously press del to try and get back into the bios

 

[Boomstick777]

3.8 now.

Ah ok, I thought that was stock for 5930k.

You don't fancy pushing it further?

 

[Boomstick777]

Stock is 3.5

I'm a little worried about overclocking it more, i currently have 3 290's, board,cpu, 3 SSD's, 12 fans, 1 drive from a 1000W PSU, think i'm pushing my luck tbh!

Yeah I def agree with that beast setup, leave CPU at stock.. Maybe switch over to 3 x GTX 980's? That could bring down the power usage massively, then you could clock the nuts of your CPU
