@Plec sorry to disappoint I don't have a Brummie accent

Yeah, i know - it's scouse.

tamzzy said:
Oh well back to the 3770k for now until I get the replacement cpu

:/ - really sorry, @tamzzy.

I would rip it all apart (completely) - remove battery, leave it for a few hours until your prepared to try again - and then give it another quick try - hold heatsink to CPU to save time (on cardboard - not testbench).

@Plec yeah maybe tomorrow lol. I need to raid soon

You're kidding?

We need to get a stripe for whatever case you decide to get

Stripe?

As in 'Go-Faster-Stripe' - how long have you lived in Brummie land?

*You had raid stripe in your head?

tamzzy · 3 Aug 2019 at 21:05

@Plec oooooh those go-go-faster stripes found on poverty spec audi a1s...lol
anyway back on my old battlestation now :/
intel never lets me down

LOL - a snapshot for your next 9900k spec

Hope you have a quick turn around - although, it may yet surprise you if you have the stomach to try it again (here's hoping anyway).

At least OcUK have a quick rma process.

To test if it is gfx card

Plug monitor into mobo HDMI and use on chip gfx..........if 3000 has on chip?

Not the 3700X

Only the 3200G/3400G

Got to agree on the OCUK RMA. They posted me a new board the same day as my broken one arrived. Even though the email said 3-5 days, it was received, tested and new board shipped within hours.

BIOS not still post on screen via MOBO HDMI.

Jeez, always thought on-chip gfx was the norm still. Been so long of not requiring it I havent noticed it started to leave CPU's. Guess it takes up room in there - and at 7nm...well.

My FCLK tops out at 1800. Are any of you achieving 1900 actually doing so by applying more voltage? SOC or VDDG?

andy_mk3 · 4 Aug 2019 at 10:59

Just updated to the latest BIOS with 1.0.0.3ABB, latest chipset drivers too and my 3900x boosts exactly the same (4.1AC, 4.3SC) so back to the 4.35AC OC I go.

I am able to run 1900 perfectly fine, I just have to find the right "safe" voltages for 100 stability.

Did you tweak your SOC or VDDG to achieve this?

What I'm saying is up to 1800MHz Windows is fine. Over this when I boot in to Windows I get audio corruption and instability.

Well my Auto SOC was going up to 1.19v in early BIOS versions, I had never tweaked my VDDG because I didn't know it was a thing, and stock is like 0.950v I think. Now I have my SOC at 1.15v and VDDG 1.10v. I know I have to put them a little higher for full stability but I don't know what is considered "safe" yet.

A ha! So that could be a step forward for me then too!

Can you tell me how many volts you are using on your ram?

I have a 3600Mhz C16 B Die kit, currently at 1.42v to make sure it has enough voltage to run 3800Mhz without touching timings.

Thanks

I found this which is AMD own documentation. See page 34. It doesn't say much other than SOC and VDDG will start at 1.1v for memory overclocking.

opethdisciple · 4 Aug 2019 at 11:12

@Nightime and you would say you are fully stable?

I'm gonna try your values as my ram can do 3800MHz easy but my FCLK is unable to go above 1800MHz.
