***Haswell -E Owners Thread***

reading here and there and looks like i will be doing conductive pen mod on my CPU for em extra volts on cache. Just need to be bothered enough to order some liquid ultra and a pen. Not soldering anything to my cpu what would be point of Intel tuning plan then hahaaa.
Need to re seat my waterblock anyway sooner or later as one core runs 8c hotter than rest. Still so far max temperature i seen was 74 on that hottest core after 2 hours of video encoding yesterday :)

next thing is playing around @125bclk when i am not playing Destiny :P

Nickolp1974 interesting is that for 24/7 clock ?? Ill wait with volts like that till my intel tuning plan starts working next month :]

Rossi~ ye was thinking it can be case of that.
 
Going to be setting up my 5820k build today, is 4.0GHz a reasonable ballpark for speed vs Power consumption vs Heat? I'm using a H100 but I don't want to be going too OTT at this stage.
 
Well ill run my 4.5 24/7 like i was running 5ghz sandy for 3 years 24/7 at max stabke oc as in 3 years after warranty new stuff for zeed.

Btw i gave my old 5ghz setup to my sister shes a semi pro gamer like myself doing lets pkays streams ect. But had crappy 4 core amd. Ehhh Poland where you cant afford nice things like we can in uk :(
 
I thought with the last few releases of CPU's Intel has released they weren't clocking as well as Sandy Bridge CPU's because they were no longer soldering the die to the sink. (well on the non E range anyway)

2600K - 3930K Sandy bridge / E both did 5GHz without too much trouble for me.

So is it simply the architecture doesn't clock as well, Ivy & Haswell? (I know IPC improvements make up for that but was just curious as haven't been paying much attention since Ivy)

Just so ppl know seem the Xonar DX2 doesn't work with X99 or just my board Asus
X99-S there was a chap in the Asus forums with almost the same setup reporting the problem :P back to using the onboard sound :P

Still like how quick it is to video encode with these cpus able to convert a video which would have taken 15-20mins in about 8-10 which is a good saving :)

CPU and Mobo performing really well today, survived benching and BF4 session @ 4.5Ghz.

24/7 clock is now 4Ghz + XMP 2666mhz. Memory not causing any crashes working really well. Normal volts with +0.075v. Gives 1.229v under full load at 4Ghz and downclocks to 1200mhz / 0.878v when idle. Loving this setup.

Would you mind giving me a few pointers on overclocking this combo please?

I have the same cpu and ram and have only been able to boot at stock and once at 3.8ghz. Its a downgrade on my old system so far :rolleyes:

Cheers
Scott

What I've found with this setup is changing the settings in the bios will cause the mobo to not post properly on first reboot, then a screen will display with options of restoring bios defaults etc, this makes you think it isn't stable but just ignore this and go straight back into the bios 'Enter Bios' and just press F10 save and exit again, now it will reboot into Windows.

The settings do work but for some reason always cause an error on the first reboot after saving and exiting the bios, when you go back in and press F10 it seems to save it properly and then will post into Windows.

The easiest way to OC imho, is to select CPU volts as normal, and add '+' so it's dynamic. For 4.0Ghz to be 100% stable I use +0.075. This gives up to a max voltage of 1.229v. It's rock solid, Vring only needs 1.15v at any OC on this board. Then just change the turbo clocks to whatever you desire, 4.0Ghz / 4.4Ghz etc..

With memory first XMP setting is likely to be the most stable.

I really hoped my board would be the same as yours but unfortunately when it said no post it meant it! :eek:

I had to up the CPU VRIN external override to 1.92 and that seems to allow me to boot at 4.4ghz @1.3v but its not stable. Ive found with my board if it doesn't post then you cant go in and make a change or 2 because it wont have it. What I have to do is load optimized defaults then make any changes from then on and i have a higher chance of success. Im currently stabilty testing at [email protected]. Must admit im feeling a bit disappointed so far after my ivybridge set up.

Thanks for the advice
Thanks

sgoaty well ur lucky with my MSI i have to crawl under my desk and put pen in bios reset button to but up and reload my stable oc set then change this and that amd see if it boots.

Anyhow after few hours of testing so far i am at [email protected](lower bsod in prime after 3 minutes) VRIN 1.9 Cache 1.26 1.060 SA Memory@2666 14-14-14 T1@ 1.35 CPU.
With this setup it survived 17 minutes of Asus real bench stress test 16gb. Then Bsod with max temp of 84c. It was after 2 hours of tweaking and benching so water in my loop was 10c hotter looking at ide temperatures :P

I dont think i can have it more stable than this. I did 3 hour long encoding test with power director and it did not crash so i think i leave it for now.

On other note with c14 memory i managed to get 2.0 in cinebench so happy with performance.
 
Is there a setting in the BIOS to stop my 5930K from throttling?

It's currently set @ 4.6 with 1.35v, benchmarks are reporting clock speeds of stock (3.5), temps are fine too, under 100% load, maxing out @ 81'c.
