Well your cpu ring voltage is well low, pump that sucka up to 1.3v.

That will be good for 3.5Ghz easy for your uncore speed too.

You could try and lower your cpu voltage to 1.3 (maybe even lower) when you've upped cpu ring voltage to 1.3v.

As for your SA voltage that's pretty low (compared to me anyway) but then again you only run your ram at 2400mhz (I think) so that's pretty easy on the system so probably don't need much like your running. I run my ram at its rated 3000mhz but my SA voltage needs +400. I've seen many other gigabyte overclock guides and all runnig 3000mhz + on the memory the SA voltage gets quite a boost from stock like I'm runnig so it's nothing out of the ordinary. Bare in mind this is for gigabyte boards only I'm talking, Anus boards the voltage could be quite different.

Playing around with more could help with stability too (if upping the cpu ring don't work).

Hope this helps buddy.

Performance of those Anus boards stinks.

Bit of a sweeping statement there - I don't agree. Asus boards are ok in general, and like most manufacturers there are problems sometimes. Care to elaborate on your statement. I am very happy with my Asus board.
 
Made the changes...

ring 1.3
SA +400


This mobo wont boot with ram running at 2800 it boots fine at 2666mhz

I need your settings or this mobo goes back :(

Might just be your make/type of memory.

I was using a set of Kingston 3000 and it did not play that nice with my system, so I sold them to a mate of mine! lol

My G.Skill 3000mhz Ripjaws 4 are perfect and far superior sticks.

+400 seems really steep. Most samples for that frequency shouldn't need more than 1.05v

I've Seen plenty of Gigabyte reviews where people run at that voltage for that speed of memory. Even the autoclock (not that I use it) will set it at that voltage or even +500. Maybe your getting mixed up with Anus motherboard settings.

You gonna post an 8hr run amigo?;)

Just done a run for you matey.

Why is it 'Anus' settings if I'm having to use probably almost 150mv or more less than you for the same DRAM frequency lol? I'm not saying there aren't people using that much voltage, not that end users are anything to go by, but it's still pretty high.

where did you see that Perfect_Chaos.

It's the same board but it ships with a USB 3.1 riser card. I've been using the Deluxe since day one, and have had zero issues with it running 4.4 core / 4.0 cache.

Just with a google search, but it could just be the odd one with a faulty board.. really not sure.

I'll probably go with the x99-s still, just hope that there are no problems and if there are that they are at least bios related and not board related.

USB 3.1 isn't a big deal for me either atm and can always buy an expansion card for it later.
 
Thought i would add this in, been a while since i really built anything for myself and quite happy on how its running. Re done due to playing around
