RIVE Settings for a i7 3820

Deathjester · 20 May 2013 at 22:03

I've been running @
4.5ghz (125blk 36x) on my 3820 for a while now, plenty of time to stabilize my loop (other than my res leaking).

Getting Idle temps of 30c and load temps around 55c running @ 1.3v.

It bluescreens on boot at 37x @1.3v & 1.35v (however that could be my RAM causing that as it's only 1866 running at 2000 (@36x) and faster @ 37x

Timings are 9, 10, 9, 27, CR2, which is rock steady @ 2000mhz.

VTT - 1.1v
VCCSA - 1.1v
DIMM's @ 1.65v

Most settings are as the X79 guide.

Should I drop the RAM frequency, and try to get it back up using the BLK & multiplier? Or is the voltage not high enough?

It's Corsair Dominator CMP16GX3M4X1866C9 RAM.

Ok I'll give that a try!

I remembered to copy my stable bios settings to Bios 2 this time...!

I had to CLRCMOS last time and lost everything when it wouldn't post.

Ok, I've switched the RAM in my Rig to:
2 sets of Corsair Dominator GT 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C9 2133MHz

I'm using the stock 9-11-10-27 timings. But I can't get my PC stable at any BLK of 125 (other than underclocking it at 2000mhz).

I'm still trying to run my CPU @ 125BLK & 36x which was fine with the basic Dominator Kit.

Should I drop it back to 100 BLK * 36x, clock the ram at stock and mem test to ensure I don't have anything which I should be RMAing?

Will do.

Memtest threw some errors on the xmp profile.

Not really sure what to do now...

On further searching 2133 RAM seems less compatible than I'd like with the Rampage IV Extreme... Dropping the speed to 2000mhz with a 125 BLK and 36x multiplier is holding pretty steady at the moment...

Just need to figure out how to get it to 2400mhz...

Deathjester · 23 Jun 2013 at 17:36

Yes, I do have it plugged in.

I doubt it too, but I'll see what I can do!

Deathjester · 23 Jun 2013 at 17:45

I haven't had the chance to try it at 2400 yet...

Raw timings?
You mean 9-11-10-27 ? (As per the recommendation?)

Ah ok, I'll try that once I've re-installed windows...

This build has just been one pain in the ass after another...

My raid - 0 just failed *sigh*

I was going to re-install anyway, but I wasn't expecting to do it now!!

Edit: can't find my product code... I guess I'm ringing MS tomorrow!!!

*sigh*

Wooooo

We have Windows...

I found the licence key on my phone.

Right, time to do some testing.

@1.675v 2333mhz doesn't boot to windows on RAW

I've had it boot at 1.7 but it seems a little unstable.

will test at 1.725v shortly. (just installing some stuff)

8x4gb

What voltage should I be using?

Deathjester · 24 Jun 2013 at 23:14

+I can't get 2133mhz with 4.5ghz OC.

Am I best off with 100blk / 44x multi & 2133mhz ram

or
125blk / 36x multi & 2000mhz Ram?

I was trying to get 2333mhz @ 125blk & 36 multi
