Xeon E5600 & R3E, problem OC

[tistou77]

Hi

I have E5640 and a R3E and impossible to boot with more ram to 800Mhz
why? the bios or something?

I tried everything, different settings, etc. ...
all parameters in AUTO and ram to 2000, uncor 3000 to 4000, different vQPI and nothing

if you can help me

thanks

It's not the cpu's....

ok, it's the motherboard (bios?)

thanks

I'm guessing yes, but tough to tell with this little info.

[tistou77]

The machine sitting in front of me..
Seriously,it's tough to troubleshoot this kind of issue remotely.
Maybe someone else can help you..

ok thank you

I saw on the board, someone to OC an E5620 Xeon (ram to 970MhZ) on a Rampage II Extreme

it could, perhaps, be because of bios "Too Young" on the R3E, finally I don't know....

i think the memory controller is locked

I saw this in the topic EVGA SR-2, it will be for the rev B0, I think
me is a rev B1 (do not remember, I'll watch it when I get home)

if I have a B0, the uncor is blocked in hardware (even if in the bios the multi are available)

if it is retail it should not be B0, it should be B1 and if it is B0 (like me 5660) then the uncore will be stuck at 10x, it sucks I wish I would have known before buying

[tistou77]

The E5640 is a retail, so normally B1
but even if uncor is stuck at 10x, with the bclk 200, the ram should run at 2000 without problem, no?

how you can go up the ram to your 5660?

don't know it was the first chip that I killed and it died an easy death, only 1.47 vcore 1.42 vtt under water, and it became so degraded that it can't even boot in to windows at stock anymore, but it can boot in to the bios no problem

[tistou77]

ok, and before he was killed, how you had to ram and uncor for 1.42 vtt?

not sure as I never really tested it for max memory clocks, all I know is that it was finding stability with that chip since I had to run 4 ghz uncore, but my max memory clocks were under 1600

it was pretty ty

it's a rev B1, is the motherboard (bios) which restricts
