***Haswell -E Owners Thread***

So, I am now officially a Haswell-E owner! System booted up beautifully last night (after replacing the PSU). I was super scared I'd fried something during the build. Not a pleasant experience I can tell you!

Busy tonight, so won't be able to start the overclocking yet sadly. Temps sitting around 27C idle at stock on the 5820K with a Corsair H100i. Works like a charm.

Probably going to push for 4GHz first. Other than the 1.07 RC CoreTemp (1.06 RC just hangs the whole system) and AIDA64, what else should I sort out before I start the overclocking?

My cpu is going back....I've had enough of it, arranged collection with dhl today for pickup on Monday. I really have nothing to lose, so glad I purchased the tuning plan.

Well my cpu went back on Monday and a new boxed unit was in my hands by lunchtime today...not a bad turnaround at all considering this was being shipped to the Netherlands.

Anyway installed the new cpu and booted up into Windows at default settings to ensure all was ok....

Then rebooted and changed the multiplier to 45x, vcore & cache to 1.275v (just chose this value based on other peoples settings), VCINN @ 1.9.

Went into Windows no issue and left XTU running for the entire afternoon...max temps were ~65c and not one issue so far.

Really pleased with this new cpu, batch # for ref is: J502B427

looks like you have now got a winner of a cpu - congrats. Hope it works out well for ya.

Just placed an order for a kit of DDR4 16gb crucial 2400mhz ram, got it for just under £134 new but have to wait a bit to get it. Seems a reasonable price, i really didn't want to do it but did at the same time.. was so dead set on waiting for Skylake. Not sure whether to feel disappointed in myself or relieved :D

proof ! :D

4.5ghz for me is proving not that straight forward!

My CPU runs around 0.9 to 1V VCORE at stock, with temps of around 27C idle on the H100i. Feels amazing currently, and it's not even overclocked!

Going to take some setting from the 8+ hour stable thread to try and hit 4GHz first. 4.5GHz would be nice, but I can live with anything above 4GHz.
 
The only way I've managed to get mine stable is to turn on the XMP and TPUII switches on my Asus motherboard and an auto OC via the bios. It's now rock solid at 4.3. Previously I had it @ 4.4 (wouldn't go higher) with everything on manual, but I'd get frequent non-boots and the odd WHEA and failed OC error. That hasn't happened once since changing. I don't understand it, but it's rock solid now so I can't complain.

Care to explain a bit more about the motherboard switches? What Asus mobo do you have?
 
It's the Asus X99-S. The TPU switch has two positions you can select from. Position one will attempt to overclock the CPU via ratio adjustments only. Position two will attempt to overclock the CPU using ratio and BCLK adjustments. Enabling the EZ-XMP switch will initiate an automatic overclock of the memory. You can still up the overclock from this, as mine seemed to default to 4.1, but I bumped the multiplier up to 43 and it's just as stable. I've NO idea why this is stable when everything I did manually wasn't, but there are SO many settings it's probably likely I had one that wasn't quite right.

Ah cool. Same board as me then! Might have to give that a go. Not really sure where to start with overclocking this. Seems to be a lot to focus on. So used to i7-920 which had a nice little calculator, and was easy to do.

How long should I be running AIDA64 for, to ensure the overclock is reasonably stable? I'm only overclocking my CPU, as the RAM speed scaling on Anandtech didn't make me think its worth pushing the RAM too hard,

Currently sitting at 4.5GHz @ 1.3V Core voltage, with temps of around 41-51C across cores.

Update: One hour in, sitting like this:

That looks pretty good, seems like you have a solid chip there if it's stable at 4.5. Mine sits at around low to mid-30's with the Nepton 240M.

If yours isn't giving you any trouble, I wouldn't say you'd need to bother with the XMP/TPU switches. Mine just wasn't playing ball for some reason, but that could have been due to my OC ineptitude lol! It actually seemed stable within Windows, games etc. 99% of the time, even with Aida64, but those random no-boots were getting annoying, and as I said that hasn't happened once since I put those switches on, so who knows?!

Try upping your SA voltage.

What you got it set at the moment?
