Finally got around to upgrading my system when I got hold of a 2nd hand Rampage V Extreme, 5930K and Corsair Dominator 3000C15 v4.23.
However, being out of the overclocking loop for a couple of years now I sure could use some pointers as to what settings are worth tinkering with to get a stable (enough for gaming) overclock on this system.
So far I've only adjusted Vcore and Vddr. Can't get the mem higher than 2800Mhz C15-17-17-35 at 1.37V. What is "safe" limits of Vddr with this kind of mem?
I noticed there's a setting called Vvttddr. Would raising that assist in getting these sticks to their rated 3000-15-17-17-35?
Currently testing the CPU with Prime95. Got it stable for 2hrs at 4.4GHz and 1.35V. Trying for 4.5 at 1.371V now.
Cooling right now is an Antec 920 AIO loop with default push-pull fans in a well ventilated Corsair 750D case.
Planning on a custom loop later on for the CPU and VRMs.
