BSOD Codes for OverClocking

BSOD code	Message	Action
0x124	WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR	Add/remove Vcore or IMC voltage (usually Vcore, once it was IMC)
0x101	CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT	Add Vcore
0x50	PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA	RAM timings/Frequency, add RAM or IMC voltage
0x1E	KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED	Add Vcore
0x3B	SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION	Add Vcore
0xD1	DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL	Add IMC voltage
0x9C	MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION	IMC most likely, but increasing Vcore has helped in some instances
0x109	CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION	Add RAM voltage
0x0A	IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL	Add IMC voltage
0x1A	MEMORY_MANAGEMENT	It usually means a bad stick of RAM. Test with Memtest or whatever you prefer. Try raising RAM voltage. Can also mean more juice for the IMC
0x7E	SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED	Should do sfc /scannow

Asus Z97s... has always had one of the best on delivering consistent accurate voltages. So since skylake is back on mobo etc.. This should come back to play.

Which is the most recommended board? Asus Maximus VIII Hero? and which rams to go with it? What would be the downside if I buy 2 sticks of Kingston (Fury (8GB x 1Pc) for 16gb.

Even if not P95 also, what about other tests like say doing video rendering? I could get mine to 4.8Ghz at 1.4 too but it works fine only on Windows.

Did a test this afternoon, tried to convert a 20GB (.mov) clip to mp4 format, all cores are maxed out at 4.8GHz, no hiccup and successfully finished in 2 hours which is slightly faster than i7 4790K (also 4.8GHz). Max temp is 74 C. Will run P95 later for more stability test.

Basically regardless of the brand the overclocking steps would be more or less the same but every CPU is unique, means each chip requires different CPU-related voltages, different strength of integrated memory controller (IMC) resulting in different memory overclock ability and ram-related voltages. i5 6600K has 3.5GHz base clock and peaks at 3.9GHz with Turbo, generally can be overclocked to 4.3-4.4GHz stable on air cooling (depending on chip of course and cooler).

There is a DDR3 version for HD3 mobo. Using CL9 1600 hyperx savage 8gbx2. Managed to get i5 6600k running 4.3GHz @1.27 using 20% preset overclock profile (gigabyte performance upgrade) Reaching 62C on full load running small FFT on prime95 v28.5 after 1 hour without error.. No linpack or IBT to further testing. Arma 3 and watch dogs running fine so far. Will perform manual oc instead of using current preset to get better optimized system.

Auto overclocking is a good starting point but manual overclocking is always the best of course. Skylake CPUs' TJmax (max temp.) is 100C so looks like your chip still have plenty of headroom to overclock higher.

But I think that'll be manageable since I plan to connect the fans to Corsair Link. The stock Corsair fans aren't just good enough. They make this annoying rattling sound at low speed. Just one question though, for a push pull config, is it better to put the higher RPM fans to do the push job or vice versa?

Just one question though, for a push pull config, is it better to put the higher RPM fans to do the push job or vice versa? the idea of having larger sized fans is to get rid of loud fan noise issues. larger fans spin at lower rpm but provide sufficient air flow or static pressure, hence they are more quiet. i think we have derailed from this nice topic. just check out the water cooling section at lyn for better information.

Mind to share your OC settings and what software you used for stressing? Most 6700K chips should be able to do at least 4.5GHz, max out at 4.7/4.8GHz before thermal throttling.

Probably worst chip that I've ever heard of so far (sorry). It could be improper settings as well in the BIOS so you better check it out again.

If you're using AMD APU/FX6### or Intel LGA775 stuff, you better jump now.

I'm using ASUS ROG Maximus Hero VIII Run RealBench (Asus) @ 1.20V for 2 hours without problem. But when I ran Prime95, 5 min into the test I get BSOD haha. Eventually managed to keep it stable @ 1.23V - So I achieved 4.4ghz @ 1.23V. I'm using ID Cooling FrostFlow 240L - Stock @ 33c and max load usually around 65c (thanks to the low voltage). No aircond in my room, only kipas. I have temptation to OC it further but it makes little to no differences in gaming performance, unless it's a CPU dependent game. Is my CPU good?

40K Club Forum Admin 44,415 posts Joined: Jan 2003	The SKY OC feature is removed in newer firmware BUT the function returns under the guise of HYPER BCLK Engine. It's amazing how a Core i3-6100 (on stock already faster than i5-6400) can be overclocked to 4.5Ghz or more. I could reach 4.6Ghz even but it wasn't stable so I had to back down to 4.5Ghz. Might be able to reach beyond 4.5Ghz if I were to boost voltage but my test was based on stock cooler, going vcore boost meant I'll likely go beyond the limit of the stock cooler.

Any m-itx mobo you can suggest? Im not an expert or anything .. but have a look at MSI .. they have this DDR4 Boost feature which is pretty good ... It gives you plenty of options for DDR4 speeds ... not limited to 2133 2400 2666 3000 only ... Easier to tune the right timing for your RAM.. can get high speed and good latency .. It allowed me to OC my cheap Kingston Valueram 2133 up to 2928 (CAS 15, CR 1) with slight increase in Voltage (1.3).

What do you do with your PC ? Just gaming ? If just gaming... Run Realbench (Benchmark) 6 times . Then Cinebench CPU test.. 1x time. If the system survives these (not crashing and temperatures are ok) .. its good enough for gaming ..

shibe in predicament Senior Member 1,586 posts Joined: Mar 2014 From: 75°26'11.6"S, 136°16'16.0"E	Is it compulsory to use prime95 and torture test an overclocked gpu for a day? I've seen people running prime95 for full 24 hours. I did blend test for around 6 hours with no issues for 4.4GHz @1.3v, now I'm wondering whether to take a notch up to 4.5GHz with 1.31v because even on 1.325v for 4.5GHz during prime95 test there was an error on a worker in one large FFT.

Same batch doesn't mean they have similar OC capability. For instance, many said L639 batch was generally great while there are a few other people saying they had a lot of bad L639 chips.

Some might be worried about chip degradation when overclocking with excessive voltages for a long period of time. For me, keep the core temperatures lower than TJmax of 100 degrees Celsius and you should be fine. Well, nowadays most motherboards come with over-temperature protection feature so your CPU Is not going to be killed so easily. Happy Chinese New Year and enjoy overclocking...

Delid will reduce the core temps by 15-20C. Nice try but one minute Prime95 won't suffice. Pretty sure the core temps will shoot up drastically (at least +10C) at/after 20 minutes of priming. Need a few hours to confirm stability, 3-6 hours etc

As much as I like 1344, there are errors that can happen beyond 1344. 1344 FFT is like an acceleratedsystem stability study, so that you can test stability in a shorter time with Prime95. Say if you can passed the 1344 with 90%+ available RAM for 15 mins, then your system should be stable for 12 hours of 4k FFT. This post has been edited by owikh84: Feb 15 2017, 06:45 AM

I used Asus ROG forum Kaby Lake overclocking guide. I was doing this stress test at room temperature last night, ~29'c room temp. I can only achieve 4.7GHz @ 1.29v and stable with 16GB memory XMP to 3200 MHz. Stress test using RealBench v2.43. I started with: i) 1.3v and 4.9GHz it rebooted right away when I ran RealBench. Memory at default 2133MHz. ii) Then 1.3v and 4.8GHz it ran OK, if I memory XMP it to 3200MHz it blue screen during RealBench iii) Then 1.3v and 4.7GHz it ran OK, XMP memory OK, but quite hot when running RealBench, hit 87'C iv) Then down volt to 1.29V with similar setting, temperature ~80'c to 83'c full load. I will follow the guide here to try out other stress test software. Will post some photos this week if time permit. Some question to bro owikh84: 1. owikh84 you have really good overclock results at such a low Voltage. Congrats! And your temperature runs cool too. Can you share with us your cooling solution? I'm using 3 fans as front intake (2 fans from Corsair AIO H100i v2), and another 3 fans as exhaust for hot air (2 at top, 1 at rear). Using Corsair Carbide 400C case.

It is normal to have those vCore reading in Windows different from the value set through the UEFI BIOS.

The differences is also contributed by the level of CPU voltage Load-line Calibration (LLC) you're using. Different LLC level will give you higher vdroop (lower vCore at load) or vdrop (higher vCore when loading).

It is normal for temps to jumps around a few C. Usually game will run on lower temps but will still fluctuates a bit not like gpu temps. As voltage is the main cause for cpu temps rise, the logical reasoning imo is because voltage supplied to the core is like a pwm signal that is regulated by the choke. So depending on your mobo, higher end mobo has more phases and more stable volt supply. More stable volt maybe less temp fluctuates. Either way, 70C on full load is nothing to worry about bro.

Buying a 4266 kit but running at 4133 IMO kind of waste of money, you should just take the 4133 instead of this, just saying.

This could be due to the PCB with the LED causing unncessary interferences or the mobo (BIOS) is not fine-tuned to achieve such a high mem frequency 2) the RAM runs fine with perfect reboot at 4133 19-19-19-39 @ 1.35v 3 G.Skill RGB software is still in beta stage, so it has compatibility/conflict issues with ASUS Aura software in which both software can't be used at the same time. In my case, I just use ASUS's software to control both mobo and RAM

But I got to say I love this board n ram Able to run such high CPU clock with so high speed ram with ease Running integrated graphic atm Maybe I might go higher after getting my gc and disable the 630graphic

But come thinking of it, our daily tasks (surfing, gaming) we don't push the core going 100% utilization like what RealBench does, maybe I should go for 5GHz? (without running RealBench to stress test)...as long as it didn't blue screen when I game, I should call it stable and good enough. Is this a good way to judge a system as stable, meaning running my own apps and games, without doing RealBench?

Is this a good way to judge a system as stable, meaning running my own apps and games, without doing RealBench? Realbench 85C max here at 5.0GHz under custom watercooling: Well, OC stability is still a debatable topic since ages ago because of different experiences by different overclockers. You can choose to skip stability testing, gaming without instability issue and call it stable, but some other people might think achieving 100% stability is a mandatory because they need it for their work. I'd say it's up to you to decide what you need. RealBench uses AVX instructions thus generating a lot of heat. If you're not using AVX-based programs then there's no use of it. Gaming won't take any benefit of it. Like acther said, you can use the AVX offset to "control" the heat. For instance, 5.0GHz OC with AVX offset of 2 will reduce the frequency to 4.8GHz hence reducing the heat. For gaming you still get 5.0GHz with no speed reduction.

Based on their reply, they are suspecting that weak CPU IMC might be the culprit. Weak IMC means you will have to increase the VCCSA, VCCIO and/or VDIMM. Looks like our journey is still long way to go, probably need another CPU to test out or even worse, a proper (extreme) cooling to "open" the IMC.

Kinda busy these few days, so max I tried so far is 4133 19-19-19-39-2T @ 1.35v lol. Super-stable and reboots flawlessly. Right now I'm having issue with the Apex, so have to stop there. Btw, here's reply from G.Skill HQ regarding the kit being unable to run at the rated 4266 speed. QUOTE First and foremost, I’d like to make clear that because your CPU hasn’t been tested to confirm the IMC’s capability of supporting 4266MHz, it’s likely the main reason why only XMP isn’t working. However, I can help you through steps to find out how high of a memory frequency your CPU can support. 1. To begin, please make sure that you go into BIOS and reset settings to optimal defaults. We need to make sure we start off from the most basic of settings, then apply setting changes to memory. It’d be good if you get into the habit of tweaking memory settings first, before making changes to the CPU, like the CPU frequency or CPU related voltages. 2. Go into Ai Tweaker tab, and enable XMP. Then go down to the DRAM Frequency, and adjust it down to DDR4-3600MHz and change the DRAM Voltage to 1.350V. Save and exit. Can your system boot successfully into Windows at this speed? a. If your system can’t boot at 3600MHz, please let me know. The CPU’s IMC is likely very weak. 3. If #2 was successful, go back into BIOS, change DRAM Frequency to DDR4-3866MHz. Can your system boot successfully into Windows at this speed? a. If DDR4-3866MHz was not successful, then you might want to check the CPU thermal paste to see if it’s dried. Or if your CPU cooling fan is screwed on too tightly or not evenly. Then try #2 again. 4. If #3 was successful, go back into BIOS, change DRAM Frequency to DDR4-4000MHz. Can your system boot successfully into Windows at this speed? a. If 4000MHz was not successful, then 3866MHz is likely your processor’s limit. In this case, make sure XMP is enabled, then change the following settings: i. DRAM Frequency = 3866MHz ii. DRAM Voltage = 1.35V iii. CL Timing = 18-19-19-39 iv. Command Rate = 2 5. If #4 was successful, go back into BIOS, change DRAM Frequency to DDR4-4133MHz and change the DRAM Voltage to 1.40V. Can your system boot successfully into Windows at this speed? a. If 4133MHz was not successful, then 4000MHz is likely the processor’s limit. In this case, make sure XMP is enabled, then change the following settings: i. DRAM Frequency = 4000MHz ii. DRAM Voltage = 1.35V iii. CL Timing = 18-19-19-39 iv. Command Rate = 2 6. If #5 was successful at 4133MHz, change DRAM Frequency to DDR4-4266MHz with DRAM Voltage of 1.40V. If you are still getting error 55 or 49, hit a white “Retry” button just below the Reset button on the motherboard, and see if this helps booting into the system under XMP settings. Kindly let me know how far you can go with the steps above. Please do note that XMP is enabled in all cases before manually changing BIOS memory settings.

I'd give that VCCSA a bump, say 1.35v. It's try and error to find the right VCCSA + VCCIO. Some CPU IMC really need that much to achieve stability at higher memory frequencies.

Usually auto overclocking will set excessive voltage more than your CPU requires. For 5.0GHz, I'd recommend to try out the 5GHz overclocking preset available in the UEFI BIOS. Save and reboot. Your CPU Core Voltage is now on auto mode, you might want to reduce it to 1.25-1.3v depending on your chip and cooling limit. Run a stressful CPU-intensive benchmark such as X264 FHD Benchmark. If your cooling is not able to handle the heat (>100c), reduce the CPU speed to 4.9GHz or 4.8GHz while at the same time decrease the CPU Core Voltage until you obtain the lowest possible voltage that's stable at that CPU frequency. For more info, you might want to have a read on the OC tips and guides in the post #1 of this thread: The Kaby Lake Overclocking Guide by Raja@ASUS GIGABYTE Z270 (Kaby Lake) Overclocking Guide

I did try the pre-set for 5.0Ghz. The voltage was automatic as you said and it was set at 1.4v. I was able to boot and used Aida64 to do a simple stress test. Temps was hovering around 70+celcius. However after pass 5 min into the test It went to blue screen. I did not have time to trouble shoot so I reverted back to standard config. But my guess it blue screen because of not enough voltage. So concluded that my chip may not be able to push at 5.0 in low voltage. That's why I want to do a manual over clock. My question is, would it be blue screen even if the voltage are too high?

My question is, would it be blue screen even if the voltage are too high? 1.4v is kinda high for 5.0GHz, but it depends on the chip. Some chips really love more voltage, not all 7600K can run 5.0GHz stable at low vCore. Source: https://siliconlottery.com/products/7600k50g In your case, it looks like your chip could be a lemon. But I hope it's not Boot into the UEFI BIOS to check your VID (stock voltage with everything set to defaults). Based on my experience, a good overclocking Kaby Lake CPU should have a low VID of not more than 1.2v. These chips, specifically the 7700K in my case, should be able to clock 5.0GHz at 1.3v or lower. Did you monitor the load vCore and what are the lowest and highest values? FYI, vCore will fluctuate depending on the load level and the Load-line Calibration (LLC) you're using. It could be that the lowest vCore is too low for your 5.0GHz OC at certain load time that it will trigger an insufficient voltage-related BSOD. Speaking of the BSOD, can you see what it says on the screen? It could give you some clues on what's actually happening. Could be other issues as well such as wrong BIOS settings (need to manually alter the loaded 5.0GHz OC profile), bad DDR4 memory etc...

Hi bro, By the way, what "default preset" did you use? What are your core/cache/RAM frequencies and core/RAM/VCCSA (System Agent)/VCCIO voltages? Getting BSOD with XMP @ 3200MHz is sometimes related to insufficient voltage issue. Try give the VCCSA and VCCIO a bump like 1.25-1.35v and 1.175-1.25v. It's chip dependent, every CPU has different strength of Integrated Memory Controller (IMC). Weak CPU IMC will require higher values to achieve stability and vice versa. As for "5.0GHz OC preset", how much is your core voltage (vCore)? It could be insufficient voltage, try increasing the CPU Core Voltage a bit. Again, it's also chip dependent. Every chip was born unique, hence they have different VID (stock voltage at default clocks). So to find the best voltage for 5.0GHz OC you will have to go with trial and error.

Hey bro, tq for the reply. The XMP Profile I just click the XMP Profile 1 (the only choice available at my Bios). Not sure of the setting but will look into it when I am home. I realised that I am only able to choose either XMP or "5.0GHz OC preset" ? Will the 5.0GHz OC enable my RAM to run at 3200 Mhz?

Afaik, loading the 5.0 OC preset will not automatically activate the XMP profile, and vice versa. To use both, you will need to firstly select XMP profile and then load the 5.0GHz OC preset.

Getting Started Junior Member 270 posts Joined: Jun 2009	Hi Guys, Well here are my latest update over the weekend. I am pretty pleased with the results. I am stable at 4.8Ghz with 1.35volts after 4 hours of stress test on Aida64 and 3 hours on intel extreme stress test. I am however facing issues with ROG stress test tool. The error I keep getting is "Luxmark is unresponding". I read somewhere that it is bugged. The leading up to this results there are funny issues I faced. I did try the 5.0Ghz preset settings from asus but the voltage was set at 4.2volts which is too high for my taste. I tried bring the voltage down but anything below 4.2 would crash once I start Aida64. Even if I put 4.9Ghz at below 1.40v would crash. What I find ironic is that even it is a 0.1 difference but the voltage increment is substantial. Well as for temps @ 4.8Ghz I am hovering around 70-85 Degress on max load. It is below 80 degrees for most time during gaming. I have a question. I am now using manual on my cpu volt/cache @ 1.35v. I plan to change it to adaptive. My stock volt is below 1.2v. So from what ive learnt is that 1.35v - 1.2v = +0.15v to be placed in the adaptive field. Can someone advise me on this? thank you. Btw I will be uploading all my screen shots tonight.

Yes, that's how the adaptive method works You can also enter a value of 1.35 in the Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage box. Source: https://rog.asus.com/articles/guides/the-ka...clocking-guide/

It is a mild overclock for my kind of rig...most would do 4500Mhz or even 5k with higher voltages. My question is...everytime I boot up my computer 1 in 5 boot ups...it will not boot up and on AUTO will reBOOT(like pressing the restart button) and then 2nd time will boot up fine. Only happens once every 5 times I switch on my computer, other 4 times is normal successful boot ups. Is this ok? Or do I have to increase my voltage a little more for a stable boot up process. Like 100% success rate error free boot up...

If those were CPU-intensive benchmark tools such as XTU, Cinebench, Realbench, etc, then I believe CPU voltage shouldn't be an issue here. It could be a RAM-related issues such insufficient RAM/VCCSA/VCCIO voltages, wrong timing settings etc that your software didn't stress enough RAM. Did you also experience the same auto reboot issue at default CPU/RAM/etc settings?

I hear that there are problems with the Corsair LPX Vengeance series(mine 3000mhz 16gb) with my Asus z170 Pro Gaming boards. For the RAM overclock i just switched on XMP 2.0. without tweaking anything else...and i remember even before overclocking my CPU, there were some auto reboot instances. Out of the box, stock configuration 4000mhz + 2333mhz ram = there is no auto reboot 4000mhz + 3000mhz ram = sometimes auto reboot- 1/5 4300mhz + 3000mhz ram = sometimes auto reboot -1/5 Let me try tweaking my RAM configurations... Any tips ?

Any tips ? Sounds like insufficient voltage issue, specifically the System Agent voltage (VCCSA). After applying XMP, try increasing it a bit like 1.25-1.35v (depending on strength of your CPU's integrated memory controller AKA IMC). Weak IMC means you will need to pump more VCCSA.

I gonna try this... 1. Press F5 key while in BIOS to load optimized defaults 2. Press F10 key then OK to save and reboot 3. Choose XMP Ai Overclock Tuner setting while in BIOS 4. Move down to "DRAM Voltage" field then type 1.37 <ENTER> 5. Move to next field "CPU VCCIO Voltage" then type 1.20 <ENTER> 6. Move to next field "CPU System Agent Voltage" then type 1.20 <ENTER> 7. Press F10 key then OK to save and reboot Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 above using just the (+) key to increase voltage one press at a time if you still have issues. Btw anyway to know if the RAM overclocking is stable ? because 4/5 times it will boot successfully, but 1/5 will fail.

I use Hyper Pi 32m or Memtest-HCI: http://hcidesign.com/memtest/ For Hyper Pi, pretty much straightforward. Just run the 32m test with full core/thread For Memtest, use one instance for each CPU thread. At least 500% no error

But it seems that i cant oc it to 4.5ghz. I have set the multiplier to 45 in bios, voltage at 1.35v. But in windows, it still said my proc is at 4.0ghz. Or am i doing it wrong? This is my first time ocing skylake. Set multiplier at 45. Other setting untouched. Manually set voltage to 1.35v. Other setting untouched And, what whats bothering me is the temp. In bios the temp already reach 64c. But, in windows i check with HWMonitor and Speccy, the temp is around 38c during idle. Booted in windows This post has been edited by azilazwa: Sep 13 2017, 09:33 AM

Coz confuse with one showing the correct speed @_@ To be able to see your CPU operating at the desired frequency (4.5GHz in your case), change your power plan to "High Performance": Use CPU-Z to to check your CPU frequency. Use Core Temp to monitor your CPU core temperatures. Alternatively, HWInfo64 can be used to monitor both CPU speed and temperatures etc. Download links available in the top post of this thread. System crashing has many possibilities, check the BSOD message. It could be due to overheat, wrong BIOS settings or insufficient voltages (vCore, vDIMM, VCCIO, VCCSA etc). Most probably is insufficient vCore that feeds voltage to the CPU. I saw your're using Load-line Calibration (LLC) level 4, which could cause too much vDroop (load vCore is too low). Perhaps you should try the lower level to reduce vDroop, best would be level 1 (minimum vDroop). If LLC level 1 still crashing, then you should increase your vCore, notch by notch until your system is fully stable. This post has been edited by owikh84: Sep 13 2017, 10:33 PM

Thanks for the tip. I also manage to stress the cpu (using cpuz only) for about 10 minutes with temp around 71-73c. Didnt proceed to with other test as i'm a bit worried bcoz my psu is only bronze rated (evga 500w). Will do a proper test when i managed to upgrade the psu.

Haha you're welcome bro Btw, CPU-Z is not a CPU stressing tool, not even a good software for benchmark. Run Prime95, LinX, OCCT (these 3 very stressful and too hot), AIDA64 Stability Test (less stressful), XTU, Realbench, etc.

A little update. So, i changed my psu to Leadex 650w silver and running Prime95 at stock clock just to test whats the temp at full load @ stock clock. Quite shocking as the temp already reach 80C during 15 minutes of blend test Is that normal for stock clock to reach that high temp? i'm using custom loop (360mm magicool rad with tt riing fan).

Unfortunately I have have any good temperature data to compare with yours, but my last 6700K at stock clock (4.2GHz) registered around 55-65C at full load in AIDA64 under a custom loop powered by a pair of 360mm radiators. It's hard to tell unless we have identical systems to compare with each other. Recent gen Intel CPUs, including the 6700K have thermal issue due the ineffective Intel thermal paste used and excessive gap between inside the chip, which cause inefficient thermal dissipation between the chip die and the integrated heatspreader (IHS). Anyway Prime95 is an unrealistic punishment of a CPU, generating a lot of heat compared to daily usage. So it's quite normal to see insane temperature during the stress test. Perhaps you should try reducing the vCore to shave off few degrees?

At a mild OC like 4.6GHz you won't see much of the heat output, but when you go higher then only you will notice the hotness reaching 100C. Delidding will give significant lower temperatures by around 20C off, which is a huge figure. My chip runs at 5.0GHz @ 1.275v and the temp during gaming is 80C while stress testing can reach as high as 90C. Hotter temp means my cooling fans will spin faster, resulting in the increase of noise level. By delidding my CPU, my chip should be able to run at ~70C with a lower fan speed and much quieter. Why OC till 5.0GHz? Because you can get extra performance and remove possibility of any CPU bottleneck.

It's normal for Intel chips when you push hard on the 14nm processors. 2 reasons. It's running on 70% of 1250 rpm fans. I didn't apply new thermal paste. I took out my AIO from Skylake i7, I saw some residue paste there, I just fixed it on Coffee Lake. I was lazy to apply new thermal paste because it was 3am in the morning when I installed the new processor and mobo. I'm waiting for new grizzly thermal paste and delid kit. Then only I'll apply new thermal paste. P/S 4.8GHz @ 1.3v is the sweetest spot. With low rpm fan setup and old thermal paste, temperature doesn't go beyond 65c in games.

It's normal for Intel chips when you push hard on the 14nm processors. 2 reasons. It's running on 70% of 1250 rpm fans. I didn't apply new thermal paste. I took out my AIO from Skylake i7, I saw some residue paste there, I just fixed it on Coffee Lake. I was lazy to apply new thermal paste because it was 3am in the morning when I installed the new processor and mobo. I'm waiting for new grizzly thermal paste and delid kit. Then only I'll apply new thermal paste. P/S 4.8GHz @ 1.3v is the sweetest spot. With low rpm fan setup and old thermal paste, temperature doesn't go beyond 65c in games. Congrats on your purchase, welcome to Coffee Lake club. Is that your best vCore or can it go lower? Did you notice any vdroop (load voltage drops too much from BIOS set)? What's your vCore set in the UEFI BIOS, CPU-Z idle and load? P/S: I'm also waiting for my 8700K from Active Lancing

The core voltage reading on CPU-Z is 1.288v under load. I got my 8700K from Active Lansing last Wednesday.

Let's start with the Apex First thing to do is of course to overclock the i5-8600K CPU to 5.0GHz (BIOS set 1.425v, LLC5) and run Cinebench R15: CPU score: 1221 cb (7700K @ 5.0GHz: 1087 cb) Currently, I am also testing the LLC in Realbench 2.44 (AVX) to see the vdroop/vdrop. This is just part of the results: LLC works fine for me, vdroop = -0.016v, despite ROG Strix Z370-F users are complaining about 0.08-0.09v vdroop. Also note the core temps, idle @ 57.3C, load @ 85.3C, which are in my opinion a bit on the high side. Cooling is custom loop lowered by a pair of 360mm radiators in push-pull fan configuration.

Extreme4 does not have LLC issue with the latest BIOS update while there's no solution for the TUF. However, both don't have debug LED for error troubleshooting. If you have more budget, can consider the Fatal1ty Gaming K6 (RM900+) with a debug LED, onboard power/reset buttons, dual Intel LAN ports with teaming support. Add RM 100 you can get the Taichi (RM 1000+) with dual Intel LAN + Wi-Fi, 3x M.2 slots.

It's less stressful than the v29.3, hence requiring less vCore to stabilize. My v26.6 with the 8700K OCed to 5.0GHz @ 1.248v load (BIOS set 1.280v, LLC5):

Hi, welcome to OC club. To begin, what is your cooling setup? What thermal paste did you reapply after delidding? Regular TIM should shave off like 10-15C while liquid metal paste another 10C reduction.

It is expected that not all 8350K is able to OC to 5.0GHz at a reasonable voltage, most of them can't. As far as I know, RAM OC of this quad CPU is also worse than 8700K. Must be lowly binned by Intel. For OC, 8700K & 8600K are still the best choice.

Load voltage drops too much? For Prime95, I noticed that I'd need to increase the vCore a bit to get it stable at higher RAM frequency. Which means your current vCore might not be sufficient if you don't stress the RAM at the same time. Hence, I'd recommend to also stress the IMC preferably at 95%+ RAM usage.

Plus, your mobo is the Hero so should be among the best Z370 boards in terms of power delivery, voltage control etc. Every CPU comes with its unique VID (stock voltage), so it may vary from one chip to another.

Maybe you can tell me how to OC properly? Sometimes I see just a single setting can decide how low the vcore can go or how stable the system is. You are using Maximus X Apex & Maximus X Hero, I would be thankful if you can share your BIOS settings. This post has been edited by BroD: Nov 22 2017, 02:07 AM

ROG Maximus X HERO: 1.280v (Same as APEX) TUF Z370-Pro Gaming: 1.328v You can see that the TUF required 0.048v more voltage than the HERO.

Are you running the same cpu on both prime and hero? Were you using small fft test for both? By the way, the latest version of prime95 is 29.4.5 Edit: cpu package power on mine is almost 200w running prime95..is it normal? This post has been edited by BroD: Nov 23 2017, 10:39 PM

By the way, the latest version of prime95 is 29.4.5 Edit: cpu package power on mine is almost 200w running prime95..is it normal? I just tested the new 0802 BIOS, so need more time to really comment about it. But initial testing found that it is better than the old 0505 BIOS, especially in terms of RAM OC. New BIOS allows me to POST easy, run stably at DDR4-4200. Need to test more on this though. With the 0505 BIOS, I had issue getting my B-die kit to POST at DDR4-4133+. To answer your other questions: Yes, exactly the same 8700K CPU was used on both TUF and HERO. For Prime95, I always used Custom Blend 1344K min/max 14500MB RAM to stress both CPU+IMC/RAM altogether. Prime95 is very stressful that your CPU power package could hit as much as 180-200W when highly overclocked/overvolted.

I dont know how to oc RAM at all...I see you are using memtestpro..if Im using basic version of memtest, how to make it run like memtestpro? I have been using your bios settings and it is stable but I also want to save power when not using my computer. So I try adaptive voltage mode but I dont know a thing about it. Question, if my OC is stable at manual mode @1.25v, how to set it to stay at 1.25v +0.01v @adaptive mode and stay stable when I run stress test and also decreasing vcore automatically when not using my computer?

Everything comes at a price bro. For 4000+, you will need to get RAM kit that is based on Samsung's B-die ICs, those DDR4-3600+ rating kits. Don't use Memtest86, as it is not relevant anymore for today's application and won't tell you anything conclusive at all. I am using a paid HCI Memtest that is used by most RAM manufactures in the market. Adaptive mode seems broken on the HERO, that's why manual voltage mode is still my favourite method. To use Adaptive mode, you just need to enter the full load voltage that you desired in the Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage box. In your case, just insert 1.25v into the box. The target full-load voltage is shown in the Total Adaptive Mode CPU Core Voltage.

Check few posts back, I did a few 3-hour Prime95 v29.3 (with AVX/FMA3) runs with CPU temps lower than 80c without delidding. My 8700K is a really rare chip with a very low stock VID. DDR4-3200 vs 4000+, I'd say very little to no difference but anything lower than DDR4-3200 will bottleneck the system. Source: TPU This post has been edited by owikh84: Nov 27 2017, 07:55 AM

Each motherboard's power design is different. ASUS and other brands have LLC level 1 as the lowest and up to 8 for the highest. ASRock has it backwards where level 1 is highest and level 5 is the lowest. On my ROG boards, I chose level 5 because I find it gives the lowest vdroop. Check few pages back for my 5GHz CPU OC. LLC5 used, BIOS set 1.30v, load vCore 1.280v Prime95 AVX 0 offset stable. Typical voltage is around 1.2-1.4v depending on your VID and board of course.

Better check your chip's vid first before pumping any voltage. For record, my 8700K comes with 1.088v vid.

Hence, in your case your VID is 1.040v which is quite low even lower than my 8700K chip. Hmm not sure why you need so much vcore but it's likely that the Strix mobo has a weak VRM power.

I get the feeling the VRM is overheating thus throttling is occuring due to that. do you touch any other VRM settings besides the LLC?

Is there a possibility that my CPU memory controller is damaged too? 2. Could Prime95 kills a memory or is the stick already a bad stick to begin with? 3.

I didn't even touch the voltage, timings, VCCIO etc. The bolded part sounds like a defective RAM module. It should have a lifetime warranty, so send it for RMA. 1) Most likely not, you're not pumping extremely high VCCSA like 1.4v+ etc. 2) Prime95 will not kill your RAM, unless you pump extremely high RAM voltage like 2.0v+ etc for long term without a proper cooling. The dead RAM module could be an already weak stick that suffered from ESD etc. 3) Prime95 will not kill your motherboard and CPU because the board itself has OC protection etc to prevent it from getting fried. When your CPU reaches 100C high, thermal throttling kicks in and your OC will be reduced at lower frequency to reduce the temperature. But chip degradation over time is undeniable, so best is to keep it as cool as possible. 4) Answered in number 2.

Btw, if you're not doing video encoding stuffs you can use Prime95 v26.6 that doesn't have AVX/FMA3 instruction. It is less stressful but enough for your daily work. It also requires less voltage, so you should get lower CPU temperatures. The legendary Noctua NH-D15S is a great air cooler that it performs even better than some AIO coolers in the market. I also have the NH-D15S and the vanilla D15, maybe be will give it a try when I am free.

Let's start with the Apex First thing to do is of course to overclock the i5-8600K CPU to 5.0GHz (BIOS set 1.425v, LLC5) and run Cinebench R15: CPU score: 1221 cb (7700K @ 5.0GHz: 1087 cb) Currently, I am also testing the LLC in Realbench 2.44 (AVX) to see the vdroop/vdrop. This is just part of the results: LLC works fine for me, vdroop = -0.016v, despite ROG Strix Z370-F users are complaining about 0.08-0.09v vdroop. Also note the core temps, idle @ 57.3C, load @ 85.3C, which are in my opinion a bit on the high side. Cooling is custom loop lowered by a pair of 360mm radiators in push-pull fan configuration. Is it retail unit,

CPU-Z is not a suitable software to test stability of your OC, neither a good software for benchmarking purpose. For CPU overclocking, the most standard people would go is Prime95, but take note that it is way too much stressful that your cooling can actually handle the heat. For me, a couple of hours (3 hours minimum) of Realbench or AIDA64 are more representative of real-world applications. Between these two, Realbench is better since it stresses both CPU and GPU at the same time. Anything lower than 100c would be safe. Moreover you're using an air cooler, which is less worrying than custom watercooling with PETG tubing etc. Your normal usage at 65c max looks fine though, just need to retest with a proper stress tool as I mentioned earlier to confirm stability.

Nowadays more and more software including games are using AVX instructions. It is suspected that NVIDIA driver also has AVX instructions in it. Hence, Prime95 v29.4 is definitely a better choice if you don't want to see the CPU speed fluctuating due to AVX offset.

For CPU overclocking, the most standard people would go is Prime95, but take note that it is way too much stressful that your cooling can actually handle the heat. For me, a couple of hours (3 hours minimum) of Realbench or AIDA64 are more representative of real-world applications. Between these two, Realbench is better since it stresses both CPU and GPU at the same time. Anything lower than 100c would be safe. Moreover you're using an air cooler, which is less worrying than custom watercooling with PETG tubing etc. Your normal usage at 65c max looks fine though, just need to retest with a proper stress tool as I mentioned earlier to confirm stability. do u delid ur proc? Btw, for the cpu V, why need until 1.3/1.35v ?

No delid, my chip is doing 5GHz @ 1.28v under custom wc with max temps never go above 90c. Every chip was born unique, meaning each CPU comes with its own stock voltage (VID). If you're lucky enough you will find a good chip, while some others might get bad chips with high VID. It's all about draw of luck, silicon lottery.

RAMs usually run at their stated specs, so maybe in your case it's 2400MHz @ 1.2v, making it go 3000MHz is basically overclocking.

Should be fine as CPU-Z is showing 5.0GHz. Just ignore that value in XTU, sometimes I will see 4.99GHz as well. The benchmark score is more important, but expect to get lower score with slower RAM speed like DDR-2400. My cache is slightly overclocked to 4.5GHz from 4.4GHz.

Hi bro, welcome to the OC club. Your temps look normal at such CPU frequency, vCore and cooling. D15 is the best air cooler that money can buy and it outperforms most AIO coolers. During my testing, with push pull fan configuration it performs on par with Cooler Master"s Nepton 240m AIO. Some higher-end AIO coolers especially those 360mm will win by 1-5 degrees Celsius. Wait for Corsair H150i 360mm AIO cooler to be released on Dec 31. I read Vortez's leaked review (before it went down) they claimed that it beats the NZXT X62 by 14 degrees C. But be prepared to pay around RM 1k for the price lol.

Coz some ppl claim to be running 5ghz on air 24/7 make me have high hope of reaching there but it seems with our hot weather , i do not wan to run my cpu at low 90 Celsius everyday xD.

Now i should decide either to finally venture into aio or delid. The vCore is depending on the CPU, quality of motherboard (MOSFETs, BIOS, etc), cooling (the lower the temperature, the lower the voltage required). Good thing about air cooling compared to regular AIO is that the air from fans will blow onto the VRM heatsink, reducing the VRM temp. Some AIO coolers such as Cryorig A series are specially designed to have an additional fan to help chilling the VRM. Of course, delid is the best way to go if you're aiming for higher OC at lower temp, if you don't mind losing the warranty.

So i can said that our temp is normal and the other way around is to delid it which will bring our 8700k to 60c underload. Tempting to do it but i still dont want to void the warranty yet .

Btw anyone experiencing avx bug whereby even idle at desktop trigger the avx offset ? AVX offset has been a debatable issue since Kaby Lake. Some said it's a bug while others saying otherwise. It could be that you have certain OS software running in the background that's using AVX instructions, triggering the AVX offset thingy. Here's the list of AVX-based software: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/what-c...d-avx2.2498660/ Some games might be using AVX instructions, or NVIDIA driver itself is implementing it: http://www.overclock.net/t/1641867/avx-offset-bug This doesn't happen with Skylake-X though or he needs more games to test: http://www.overclock.net/t/1643198/coffee-...ks-while-gaming One guy said this bug is triggered when C-states are enabled in the UEFI: http://forum.gigabyte.us/thread/2704/psa-avx-offset-bug-real I personally don't use AVX offset because I want my OC to be all out for worst case scenarios.

My Rig that was just built: Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 7 Intel i7 8700k GTX 1070 Aorus Noctua U14S Check out the OC guide in the top post of this thread for GIGABYTE's Z370 GAMING 7. It will guide you OCing your 8700K to 5GHz. But I don't think you can comfortably run 5GHz OC with your current air cooling, unless you hit silicon lottery with a really low VID (stock voltage with everything defaults) and delid. So it really depends on good is your CPU which varies from one chip to another. Get a bigger and better cooler like the NH-D15/S or 240mm+ AIO. It is advisable to check your VID through the UEFI first before proceeding for OC. Check your CPU core temps with your CPU running at stock clocks with Realbench v2.56, then only proceed for 4.7GHz on all cores and so on. For record, my 8700K has 1.088v VID and it's capable to do 5.0GHz running under a high-end custom loop at 1.280v on Prime95 v29.3 custom blend 1344K.

Check out the OC guide in the top post of this thread for GIGABYTE's Z370 GAMING 7. It will guide you OCing your 8700K to 5GHz. But I don't think you can comfortably run 5GHz OC with your current air cooling, unless you hit silicon lottery with a really low VID (stock voltage with everything defaults) and delid. So it really depends on good is your CPU which varies from one chip to another. Get a bigger and better cooler like the NH-D15/S or 240mm+ AIO. It is advisable to check your VID through the UEFI first before proceeding for OC. Check your CPU core temps with your CPU running at stock clocks with Realbench v2.56, then only proceed for 4.7GHz on all cores and so on.

Appreciate your work Yes I solve it by setting avx offset to zero now. so i can have 4.8ghz all day .

To my surprise, for some reason I need to pump more voltage as compared to my custom loop. Noctua NH-D15S: 1.328v, avg core temps: 39C Idle, 86C load Custom loop: 1.280v, avg core temps: 37C Idle, 72C load Yes that's right, 0.48v difference! At first I couldn't believe it so I re-tested using back my custom loop again I can confirm that there's no chip degradation in which I am still able to obtain stability at 1.280v under custom loop same like before, I don't know why LOL.

From your temps, I can see that you will have very high chance of hitting 100C mark in high-load software including gaming, resulting in speed throttling or worse, BSOD. Either reduce your vCore (if possible), down your OC to 4.8-4.9GHz or upgrade your cooler.

At DDR4-3200, I have mine defaults at 1.3v and 1.125v respectively but I decided to reduce the VCCIO to down 1.125v and I can still run it stably. As a result, my CPU temp can be reduced a bit.

It could be that this AIO is a problematic review unit, so I guess I would need to pick another AIO cooler to the test.

Which software are u using to test the ram stability? I have just tune both vccio and vccsa to 1.2v. I am now running prime95 blend test for 2 hrs. Kinda weird, when i click start blend, prime95 stop working msg pop out. but when i try to test again, it is running an hr without any crash. Not sure if the ram is stable or no.

What's your RAM model specifically? Activating XMP profile will automatically set your RAM speed/timings to the rating and voltage to 1.35v, VCCSA and VCCIO will be determined by your BIOS which might be excessive than your settings actually required. You can try reducing or increasing them depending on the strength of your integrated memory controller (IMC) that's built inside your CPU IMC strength may vary from one chip to another so you will need to figure it out yourself by trial and error. Obviously, weak IMC will require you to pump more VCCSA and/or VCCIO and vice versa.

i7 Clan Elite 8,711 posts Joined: Nov 2007 From: Butterworth, PG / Machang, Kelantan	Re-run Prime95 under custom loop just to make sure that my chip is not degraded. This time I monitored the VRM temp through temp sensor cable plugged on the T_sensor header on the board. FYI, the Hero X doesn't come with a built-in VRM temp sensor out of the board that's why I used the temp sensor cable that came with my Extreme IX. The VRM temp idles at 43C while registering 66C at full load, looks fine. As a comparison, VRM temps under... Noctua NH-D15S: 42C idle, 59C load CM MasterLiquid Pro 280: 42 idle. 69C load From here you can see that the air generated by the fans mounted on the air cooler did help in chilling the VRM area.

Once i click start, a few worker stop immediately while others in self test mode. My cpu is not stress too coz the temp is at idle temp. Leave it for 2 hrs still not done. I try to stop the test but it wont let me do it. So i try to end task in task manager, an error pop out . I try again amd finally it close. Then i check my ram usage is now staying at 5.4gb.

Most likely is due to imsufficient voltage etc. Try launching Prime95 under Administrator mode to fix the RAM usage issue.

The error pops up because you're attempting to stress a lot of RAM more than the available capacity. Don't simply enter 14000 MB in the Prime95. Check your avaiable memory through the Windows Task Manager then only assign the capacity to stress.

I have 16gb (2 x8gb) so i thought it should be fine for 14000mb since i have nothing open at that time only core temp and hwinfo.

Oh lol. I think you misunderstood. Usually my ram usage in idle will be 1.3gb but yesterday after i use task manager to end task the prime95 (since it wont allow me to stop it) n close the prime95. I found out my ram usage now idle at 5.4gb. so im worry did i do something wrong to the prime95 test that it mess up my ram usage? Edit: in the task manager , the memory show memory composition with 2.5gb compress. Is this the result of setting too much ram in prime95 causes window to activate memory compression?

I found out my ram usage now idle at 5.4gb. so im worry did i do something wrong to the prime95 test that it mess up my ram usage? Edit: in the task manager , the memory show memory composition with 2.5gb compress. Is this the result of setting too much ram in prime95 causes window to activate memory compression? Seems like something else is running in the background and using quite an amount of your RAM. Usually Prime95 won't cause that. When I click stop my RAM usage will go down to a very low percentage. Rebooting Windows will fix this or not?

Now I realise is my mistake for putting 14000mb as the size coz now i check the available ram is 13.8GB. Those stupid skype apps and window defender is eating up the ram to 1.9gb ram. Also forgot about the window cached that taking out 2.1gb no wonder my prime95 crash instantly... In the task manager, I saw available ram is 13.6gb whereas inside the open resource monitor i saw free ram is 12gb. which one should I follow for prime95?

I think better use the free RAM of 12GB as showed in the Open Resource Monitor screen, keep the balance for the rest of the system. I'm thinking that if you set it too high the OS will start using pagefile and memory won't be tested properly.

I think the most resemble one to i7 8700k will be the i7 7700k oc to 5ghz from OCD. The result is astounding.

Really thank you for surviving the "cpu overclocking" thread. And your 8700k bench scores are great, low Vcore @5.0 GHZ!

No need to resell and buy another chip just to bin for better one like the old days.

Did you still buy a lot of chip for lottery back in 4th, 6th gen? Back in our ivy bridge, a lot of people did that! Could it be due to good cooling and you able to lower the vcore to run at around 6x C during bench?

Yes, rechecking my paypal account found that I really wasted a lot of money just to buy from forumers who were willing to let go their good chips. My aim has been 5GHz at low vcore until now lol. Below is the list: 2600K 5.7GHz - $700 USD from XS forumer 3770K 6.75GHz - $600 USD from XS forumer 3770K IMC 2800+ - $450 USD from XS forumer 3770K IMC 2933+ - $480 USD from XS forumer 4770K x2 new - both were bad chips, didn't want to spend money to buy again 6700K x1 new - bad chip, lazy to bin 7700K x4 new - only one of them doing 5GHz @ 1.28v+ 8700K x1 new - first chip strikes silicon lottery Good cooling is one thing, but most importantly is of course draw of luck in finding a decent chip with low stock voltage (VID).

i7 Clan Elite 8,711 posts Joined: Nov 2007 From: Butterworth, PG / Machang, Kelantan	So, I went ahead and delidded my 8700K. It was super easy with the Rockit 88 delid tool, coupled with Coolaborator's Liquid Pro applied between the CPU Die-IHS and Kryonaut for IHS-waterblock. I managed to get a 12C drop in the load temperatures at 5GHz @ 1.280v. Because lower temps means less electrical leakage, I think I can still tune the vCore down a bit and go for higher OC like 5.1-5.2GHz. This post has been edited by owikh84: Jan 20 2018, 08:47 AM

Thanks Hi bro, welcome to OC club. With the auto BIOS settings, you let your motherboard to decide your voltages etc. Depending on your board, auto CPU voltage (vCore) might be way set way too high than your CPU actually required. For 4.5GHz, try manually setting the vCore at 1.1-1.2v (chip dependent). For 5.0GHz OC guide, read this (shared in post #1 of this thread).

Any solution to this problem? First of all, it is advisable to update the BIOS to to the latest version. For your board, F5f: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z370-A...v-10#support-dl Secondly, you have to go inside BIOS and set manual settings such as CPU core ratio/multiplier, core voltage, Load-line Calibration LLC, disable those power saving features such as C1E etc. This post has been edited by owikh84: Jan 25 2018, 11:38 AM

Or if you don't mind an inferior RGB, take a look at the ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming K6 (RM830) that has a stronger VRM (12 power phases) and comes with Debug LED.

I only realize it when I see my pc didn't run at 5GHz on load. so I just play around again and include all values that I remembered. I'm not a extreme overclocker where by I can remember everything (learning from utube only... ) after I key in everything and let my pc run. do some stress test, I found out my cpu speed wont go down to stock when on idle. what did I went wrong yea? my cpu now stays at 5GHz all the time. but the temp around 40-45c on idle. on load it will go up to ~57c. speed remain.

Your CPU is running at 5GHz constantly even on idle because power saving features have been disabled in the OS and BIOS settings. In OS, go to Power Options, select Power Saver power plan. In BIOS, go to CPU Configurations, look for power management settings, enable Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology (EIST) and C1E. This post has been edited by owikh84: Apr 19 2018, 10:57 AM

I stop the test. on Blend test, the temp seems normal for me. edit: OK, now I understand what u mean by OS Power Plan. I change from High Performance to Balanced now. Previously I changed to HP from Bal. the speed now are at stock or lower on idle. This post has been edited by hafiez: Apr 19 2018, 11:21 AM

Previously I changed to HP from Bal. the speed now are at stock or lower on idle. It's normal that Small FFTs being hotter than Blend test. Small FFTs demand less memory than the Blend test, so the CPU spends more time processing data and less time waiting for data. I think this can be explained here: https://superuser.com/questions/981466/in-p...0-for-al/981477 In most situations you will find Small FFT can easily pass the test but fails almost quickly in Blend. I'd use custom Blend 1344K min/1344K max FFT with 90%+ RAM capacity stressed. This post has been edited by owikh84: Apr 19 2018, 11:50 AM

I'd use custom Blend 1344K min/1344K max FFT with 90%+ RAM capacity stressed. ok, prior to ur reply i did some googling and the results said about the AVX which are enabled in newer version of PRIME. Version 26.x seems no AVX, so that the temp tested using this version will produce lower temp reading. Im on v29 btw. Regarding the test, on the current settings i manage to get stable on Blend with 1.25v. But when on Small FTTs, immediate BSOD.. I increase the v to 1.27, run small FTTs, no BSOD after several minutes BUT the temp went high 😅... Whats ur advice regarding the test. Im just normal user with gaming, surfing net n doing some minor work on PC.

I believe you did not run Blend correctly like I suggested earlier, which is 1344K/1344K FFT (min/max) and with 90%+ RAM tortured. Small FFT won't stress the IMC like the Blend does.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,980 posts Joined: Jan 2007 From: Mount Chiliad	owikh84, let say only one worker failed or stopped during the prime test, what should I do? increase RAM voltage? I read, some said increase the ram voltage problem is, my ram is 2400MHz and 1.2v I'm using crucial ballistix sport lt 8gb and single --edit right now I'm running at 1.3v 5GHz on normal usage.
