Memory write speeds are also cache dependant

Thanks,

Had a couple of boot issues, but I'm not sure if it's related to the overclock or not so clocked down to see.

It would power up & not post, taking a few resets - I have read the X99 deluxe had a few issues with USB power modes so I've disabled all that during boot & updated the bios. Difficult when playing around with the overclock as it's not always easy to determine the cause of the issue.

What was the q-code? Most POST instability on X99 is memory training related

I'll check once I get back if it does it again, from what I've read the USB issue also caused it (With legacy boot codes being a common culprit for failed boot).

For memory I just selected XMP mode & left it all to default.

What q code man?

Haven't had it since the bios update & changing a few of the legacy usb settings, so i think it wasn't related to the overclock - must have been a coincidence & due to all the new parts I've been putting in card to figure out the issues.

Now considering how far I may be able to push it, it does 4.625 stable for gaming @ 1.3 so seems a reasonable chip.

Maybe try one more multi at around 1.,35v
