Overclocking 5960X,RVE and 3000mhz Dom Plats

What do people class as stability tests these days?

Using IntelBurnTest it gets the CPU up to high 50's. All cores max'd but task manager shows the default clocks? Contradicting CPU-Z.

---------------------------
IntelBurnTest - Success
---------------------------
Success! Your system was able to maintain its stability while
running IntelBurnTest. This is usually an indication that your
CPU is fully stable, if at least tested with the "Standard"
stress level. If you are testing with memory size below Standard,
please re-test with "Standard" or higher stress level.

Test completed successfully in 121.08 seconds.

OK

Hmm, with 4.5 set with 45 multi, 1.3v on the CPU and memory all as auto and not XMP, it crashes as soon as I start the bench.

EDIT I see it hammers the GPUs as well. 4.4 is running fine, so will try again afterwards.

I managed to run the stress test for a bit on 4.5, but it crapped out in the second or third run.
 
Yeah it bins out after about a second. Trying 4.4 again with XMP on profile 2, which has it at 2600 with a 45 multi. To get to the same frequency using profile 1 (3000Mhz) I can only get it to 4.37 I think or 4.5
 
I've been so busy I've not had chance to play any more with mine. Does seem like I have done OK and I have more to tweak yet. What is everyone using to monitor temps? Have had to use Aida64 because HWmonitor causes instant BSOD and CoreTemp grinds my computer to a halt.

So much fun buying into early tech :D

Understood mate, thanks!

I figured out why my board/cpu didn't like 3200mhz. Turns out the Asus Rampage was setting auto timings way too tight in the seconds and thirds. Had to change it to tweak mode one and since then no problems. Wow i wasted like half a day on that lol. Oh well you live and learn.

I use afterburner. But I never see anything much over 60 degrees anyway.

Barely had time for any clocking yet and I'm still not sure what to use to stress stability (using Rog Realbench for now), but I've discovered that VCCSA needs quite a healthy bump (1.2v) from stock to get the board to boot at 3200Mhz 16-16-16-36-1T.

That's way too much.

SA voltage is fairly U shaped in terms of stablity. Shouldn't need more than 1.17. I'm at 1.016v for 3000

You can test memory stability with MemtestPro. Only costs $5.

Realbench and AID64 are fairly good tests for this platform. Be sure to stay away from tests that stress AVX 2.0, on X99 the CPU does-not throttle and as a result can pull in excess of 400w. It's degrading territory. Prime v27 and below are fine

Test MTP with 16 instances (one per thread) 400-600% minimum, with 1000% being the 'golden' standard.

So are the 3200MHz RAM any better than the 2400 version? (other than the risk to malfunction as in Kaap's case :P). And would I lose OC potential buy getting the 2400MHz version? (About to pull the trigger on the same spec as OP but RAM is out of stock at the moment in OcUK..and I can't find anyone else who sells it lol)

The kit that failed was the 3000mhz kit

I have just replaced it with a 3200mhz kit and there is zero difference in performance as what you gain on the speed you lose on the timings.

The only difference is I have to run System Agent voltage a little bit higher for the 3200mhz kit.
