@ BluntSmoker,
I am going to try that.
Since I don't feel comfortable with most of my voltages on auto, what is your voltage on IOH Core and QPI Core?

I just get a BSoD 124, I just add change my QPI/VTT voltage from 1.315v to 1.335v.

Hi, I'm new to this forum, so go easy , eh ...

Specs are in my sig. VCore is 1.28125v with LLC enabled, Vtt is 1.2v, BCLK is 195 with Turbo on (195 x 21 = 4.095 Hz). HT is on (8 threads). Mem ratio is 6 giving 1170 MHz. Uncore multiplier is 16. Vdimm is 1.64v. IOH and ICH core are 1.2v. Everthing else is stock (I think). All power saving settings are on. F7 bios. Memory settings are 6-6-6-16 and Turbo.

I can run Prime 95 stable (v25.11, build 2) for 5+ hours. with a max temp of 79 deg C (recorded by Real Temp 3.0.) for the hottest core (the lowest is ~74 deg C). Idle is 40 / 41 deg C (for an ambient of 25 - 26 deg C).

So, all good so far.

However, when I run LinX (v0.6.1) after about 35 seconds I get an alarm from the MB speaker, as if a fan has failed, but max core temp is only about 74 deg C. However, even if I set all such alarms (including the CPU temp alarm) to off this still happens.

Any clues as to what is causing this? As it stands, this is preventing me from pushing higher

P.S. I have briefly run Prime 95 for ~10 minutes as a check (after which I stopped it) with a BCLK of 220 with Vtt at 1.24v and a low CPu multiplier of 12, so I am pretty sure that the board is good to go higher than 195.

Try 12x or 13x Uncore (since it's 2x or 2x+1 your memory multiplier).


By the way, welcome to XtremeSystems.

SimpleTECH,

Thanks, I recall I had trouble posting with Uncore lower than 16, but I will try your suggestion and see if it helps. Appreciated.

BTW - how much better is your w/cooling over air? I am tempted to go down the HK 3.0 route but I'm not sure if the gains are worth it (obviously this is not a real value decision - as a good w/cooling setup would cost me ~£240).

@Mr.Fixit, you will need to run your mem multi @ 6x if you want to use anything lower than 16x on Uncore, as the rule is that Uncore should be twice that of the RAM multi, you can set it higher than double, but if you trying going lower it results in BSOD.

I have found that with my UD5's, I cannot use the 12x Uncore multi when using a 6x mem multi, that refuses to POST for me altogether, when using 6x on mem, I have to use 13x uncore for my system to POST.

As for WC, I am going to be purchasing parts to setup a custom loop for my rig, I will be using the HK 3.0 as well after seeing a few builds where people are using them, as the temps compared to air are fantastic.

I seen someone on another forum with temps of 61c full load @ 4GHz, that is amazing compared to air imo.

Thanks, I am already running with the x6 mem multiplier. I too tried x12 for Uncore with no Post, hence why I set it at 16. But I will try 13 as you suggest, although I am not sure whether this will stop the alarm going off.

I look forward to seeing your before and after w/cooling temps. I assume you will need to use a triple rad in the loop.

EDIT:

OK, so I have just tried the 13x Uncore and it posts OK, but again after about 45 secs of LinX I get an alarm souding. So, what can this be due to? It's not overheating or throttling (around 74 deg C). Any more ideas to try anyone? BTW - LinX will keep running OK, so it is just the alarm problem I can't live with - it's way too loud!

depends on many factors, mine still hits 80c with the HK v3 and a TFC 360 radiator when im pushing 1.35-1.4v @ 4400mhz or higher, though it might have helped if i could mount the HK the right way across the cores but the caps next to the socket on this board stop that...
