Hows my overclock doing? x99a 5930k and timings

Good Guru · Dec 8, 2023

5930k @ 4.5 1.355v 1.95 vrin LLC 50% 77 celcius max temp usually ~71 or less with a Supernova 1260mm radiator
Ram 3000 mhz 16-18-18-38 2t 1.3v from 2400 mhz 15-15-15-35 2t 1.2v
Timings won't go lower even at 1.38v vdimm and no way 3200mhz is gonna happen.
The vcore is not too bad?
ALso ring/cache will only go max 3750 mhz with 1.15v
SA is low 1.0v and i/o 1.0v
Are the memory timings descent?
Motherboard is MSI x99a Godlike Gaming.

Now trying 15-18-18-38 2t @ 1.4v Forgot to mention its Kingston Fury 2400 15-15-15-35 1.2v has Micron chips. Nope Timespy froze. Wont do 16-16-16-36 @1.4V either

4500 wasnt stable went to 1.296v 4375mhz 6c cooler was hittimg 82 in y-cruncher tests.

Is 16-18-18-36 timings not bad for 3000 mhz speed @ 1.3v?

Got 18-20-20-44 at 3200mhz but was worse latency and only 2gbs copy more and .1 more volts

Settled for 3000 mhz cl16-18-18-36 1.25 volts
And 4.4 for the cpu.
Thanks for all the help fellas

Now i'm at 3200mhz cl17-19-19-38 2t 1.3v are those {ok} timings at that speed? I even had somewhat stability at 3333mhz but I could'nt get it stable, probably needs moe vdmm or Digital i/o voltage or both, had the vdmm at 1.4 when trying 3333 but could have needed more i/o up from 1.1 to 1.15. SA is at 1.1v and does'nt like much higher. Keeping the cpu at 4.4/3.7 ring cache. Its Kingston Hyper X Micron B-die ram rated for 2400mhz 15-15-15-35 @ 1.2v btw.

3000 cl16-18-18-36 1.25v or 3200 cl17-19-19-38 1.3v
Cas latency at 16 3000 =10.67
Cas latency at 17 3200 =10.63
Except i'm thinking 3000 cl16 would be better since I can lower the other 3 timings also 16-18-18-36
Which do you think generally will give the best performance?

Hi,
Not bad for that memory
x79 and x99 are like brothers so you could also post over here

X79 and/or rampage IV OC'ing thread for those of us still left....

I can't find anything resembling "new" threads or even replies to old threads about poor, little neglected x79 and 2011 v1! users not 2011-3 threads which I'm sure are all over those who still have money to upgrade an entire system...which currently I don't. So I got my system tweaked with new...

Hi I love to mosh! Well sometimes heh DRI rocks I want to get a tattoo of the slam dance guy in their logo and that thrash zone album is the best, one of my favorite albums of all time. They just played a show a half hour away from me and I missed it.

Now I got em down to 16-19-19-36 at 3200 1.36v

Hows that for timings at that speed? Good enough for gaming?

If it does what you want, I'd say your good...
