New Build, need advice please.

Yep, BSoD after 7:48 on burn, completed 1/10, almost 2. Lasted longer than before.

Is that a nice safe reliable OC?
 
Right, I just got round to trying those custom settings, but not all has gone as planned.

These following options were greyed out with an "x" to the left of them:

x Intel Turbo Boost Tech
x Turbo Power Limit (watts)
x Core Current Limits (Amps)

x Dynamic VCore

As for setting the custom RAM (9-9-9-28) I set them in the following fields:

CAS: 9
tRCD: 9
tRP: 9
tRAS: 28

Were those the right fields? Also, when it says, "Enable LLC" you can only disable it or choose a number. I suppose I should leave that on 6 or 7?
 
Is it realtime ratio changes that needs altering to bring those settings back?

Or you can set the BIOS back to defaults and start from scratch.

If you had the SATA controller set to AHCI, then make sure it is set to that again.
 
Right here's what I just did:

I had to disable the Real Time Ratio Change in O/S. This then unlocked the options for me to change:

Intel Turbo Boost Tech set to Auto. I then set the Turbo Power Limit (watts) & Core Current Limits (amps) to 150. I then disabled the Intel Turbo Boost Tech. Then I re-enabled the Real Time Change in O/S again, since the guide said it needs to be enabled. It did grey out the options again but they seemed to stay as I set them.

I set the RAM back to XMP and auto.

I guess that's been done right?

The Dynamic VCore was still greyed out though.
 
I haven't touched the Dynamic VCore before, I would have done via the guide but it won't let me. But the amps and watts for the limits were set to 150 and the DRAM Voltage from 1.500V to 1.560V.
 
Well that might be why your overclocking attempts have failed if you havent increased the Vcore while trying the higher overclock settings.
 
Thought the mobo might have adjusted that itself. Should I reset back to where I was before I made all these changes in the guide above and just change the multiplier like I was doing before and adjust the VCore as well this time?

I imagine the VCore I need to adjust is the CPU VCore under the Advanced Voltage Settings and not the Dynamic VCore which I can't change anyway.

If it is the CPU VCore I need to change, any tips on the increments I should increase it by for 4.4GHz without breaking the mobo (I know it varies from board to board but just so I don't kill it) :p
 
I remembered that guide you sent me the other day about overclocking to 5.0GHz, so I referred to that instead. Here it what I've done.

1. Reset all settings to fail safe defaults.
2. Noted the VCore voltage on stock 33x: 1.235v
3. Rebooted, then changed the multiplier to 45x
4. I then disbaled the following from the guide to improve stability and temps:
  • C1E - Disabled
  • E1ST - Disabled
  • C3, C6 State - Disabled
  • CPU Thermal Monitor - Enabled (I was supposed to disable this as well but rather not)
5. Rebooted, and noted the VCore voltage on 45x: 1.344-1.360v (Optimal Range 1.325-1.375v)
6. I decided to enable the LLC at #5, it was optional according to the guide.

Now, this is the point where the guy said keep bumping the multiplier up one by one until booting fails, but I'm not interested in 5.0GHz. So I'm going to try an Intel Burn Test with this, not keeping my hopes up though.

And, with the settings I've changed, I'm on a constant 45x according to CPU-Z and the temps with RealTemp are the same as before:

41, 41, 41, 43.

Using those settings, it failed after 10 minutes on 45x. I decided to just bring the multiplier down to 43x and ran the test again. Here are the results:

So it was stable at 43x at maximum stress level, which is perfect. My CPU may just have a limit of 43x and maybe that's why anything above that seems to BSoD. Anyway, I'm going to leave that on 43x for now. Once I get some more fans installed in this, I'll follow the 5.0GHz guide and see what I can come up with :)
