************ Official 39XX Overclocking Thread ************

All seems to be running nice and smooth at 4.6GHz, with around 1.29V, and memory at 1866 9-9-9-27-1t at 1.4V

Temps after very high IBT run, averaged out at around 76 Celcius, ambient according to thermometer is 25.

I can live with this, though will need to do just a bit more stability testing.

Glade your sorted mate. I did think memory all along and said so. Not like me to gloat!!!! LOL!!

hey your sorted that is totally the main thing and well done for sorting it. Most X79 problems are memory related. Quad channel and 4 stickas in perfect harmony with every CPu having slightly different IMC = SHOCKING for bios developers.
 
In the war of universe vs me, the universe is winning

I did find what was causing the pll to reset, but after that found that it was not the cause of my bsod after resume, cause it still happened.

So I was in the process of trying to manually set every timing setting in the timings section (a long-winded process) thinking there was something in particular that it was setting fine on start, but not after resume.

Anyway, powered down system at one point, and then suddenly wouldn't post any more.

Turns out one of the GPU's has died! Not under load or anything, just around post/bios settings!

This is actually the 2nd card too go in a similar way, though the previous card developed an issue where it would not power up when power cable plugged into a particular 6 pin socket.

This one powers up, but the bios reports code 62 and just stops there.

So what to do now? Ok, I still have a 2nd GPU I could still use, but all these problems...

I'm beyond being mad or angry over it. I just feel somewhat indifferent right now.

Persevering, would mean spending a hell of a lot of money replacing bits and pieces, trying to find a trouble free combination...

Getting rid of desktop pc and going notebook for anything pc related, and gaming solely on console, would mean such a colossal amount of money has been wasted on games that I have not had the chance to play.... but does that matter?

I don't want to go back to the 2500K that's still sitting here boxed up.

Computers are supposed to be my outlet. The one thing to bring me some joy in an otherwise miserable existence. Feels like that pleasure is being ripped from me.
That may sound melodramatic, but sadly it's just the truth.
 
Could it be that I just have a dodgy board?

The fact that 2 GPU's have died under nearly exact circumstances (during a reset), is really leading me to feel that way.

Normally, I would suspect PSU, but on previous setup, this thing was powering 2 x 6950 Toxic's without issue, and the one that didn't get sold on is still going strong.

Then this same PSU was powering 1 7950 on previous setup without issue, and then a second was added and still no problems.

Then got this mobo/cpu/mem combo, and been having these sleep issues, and I have now had 2 cards die in similar manner.
 
Hi all, I know I made many promises about posting my results etc.. and have had my new pc for 2 weeks now , just wanted to say sorry, so hard doing anything practical when I can finally play games again maxed ouT !!!
 
Also thnx Rossi got those noise blockers installed today, and pff good fans. Good recommendation.
 
Really should have taken my sleeping pill last nigh...

Anyway, my blue screen on resume seems to manifest itself at either 45 multiplier or past 4.5GHz.

With the multiplier currently at 45, I have even set the memory to 2133, knowing it would trigger the pll drop bug, and it is still priming fine after resume. I don't know if the 1.8V would be stable long-term, but at least I now know for certain that THAT is not the cause of my BSOD after resume.

Now I need to test pushing past 4.5 using 125 bclk strap and see what happens. If I can push to around 4.75, then I guess it's safe to assume it's not a frequency isssue, but a multiplier one.

But then I have no way of knowing if it's board or CPU. And I am actually leaning far, far away from the memory on this issue, as this problem has presented itself, with single sticks from 2 completely different types of memory, even running as low as 1333MHz.
 
Resume BSOD after resume on OC does not present itself at 4.75GHz using 38X125.

Though there is a separate issue of CPU temp sensors not working after resume now...

Am really starting to feel either CPU or board is dodgy, and leaning towards board.
 
Interestingly, the pll drop after resume doesn't happen with the above settings. Even just tried it at 2333MHz, and it's kept it's auto up closer to 1.9V, which it would never do before.

CPU temp sensors definitely do not work after resume using above settings.

Definitely seems an issue with multiplier higher than 45.

So what do I do now?

Can I even say one or the other is faulty and get it replaced/refunded, as these issues only present when overclocking?

In my mind, they are specifically built for OCing, but not sure companies may feel the same....
 
You seem to be having a hell of a lot of problems eyetrip. From reading through your problems I would be more inclined to go with the mobo. Where abouts are you? I have a spare Asus board you could try.
 
That's a really nice offer.

I am based in Twickenham

Yeah, it's certainly not gone smoothly. To be honest, I can't rule out memory yet, but my main concern is actually the fact that I have lost 2 GPU's since getting this mobo/cpu/mem combo.

I may be pushing things high-ish, but certainly wouldn't say am going for extremes...
 
With CPU at 4.625 using 125 bclk, long sleep did not result in BSOD when resuming from couple hours and putting any load on system, but I noticed everything was sluggish. Turns out multiplier was locked at 12 after resuming with bclk up :(

Really not sure why I am doing this to myself any more. Obviously nothing can do to get current setup working reliably.
 
Why don't you just stay at 45 multi or lower or use 125BLK strap with a lower than 45 multi to gain higher overclock.
 
I know that makes sense, I really do, but it just feels broken that all these issues exist.

And I am still worried about another GPU just going bye bye.
 
Just resumed from short sleep at 36 X 125, and multiplier not locked at 12.

It's looking like all the issues start past 4.5. Maybe. Hardly done enough testing to confirm that for certain.
 
I've just had another go at pushing mine past 4.5GHz, failed.

I've tried with
LLC @ High
VCORE @ 1.375v
PLL @ 1.9v
VCCSA @ 1.25v
VTT @ 1.2v

But to no avail, will fail IBT after a couple of runs unless i push the vcore to 1.4v and i can get 4.6GHz stable but hitting 85c full load...

Damn. I'm destined for 4.5GHz it seems.
