Your Haswell-E max stable OC

What CPU do you have?

still voltages over 1.3 have been nearly unheard of with the intel plat in recent years not without subzero cooling anyways tho I believe this had more todo with the FIVR then anything

from what I am seeing tho on haswell-E ~1.25-135 @ 4.6 to 4.8 seems to be the sweet spot once you go over 4.8 the voltage required skyrockets
if I ever get out of this debt hole ... someday ...
I have a large 1/4hp pump capable of a 30f lift @ 33GPM I wanna do a basement mounted rad/remove water cooling setup basements around here are pretty much 50 to 55F year round would be great for WC

Holy jeebus, I just bought an X99 setup today with a 5930K. Just hit the Gigabyte Auto-Tune High setting thing for 4.1ghz (I think extreme is 4.4ghz) and temps are only 61C under stress (prime95)!!!!!!!!

I can definitely go higher than 4.1ghz but I don't have much time atm to fiddle around in depth but holy balls this was money well spent.
 
Think metal was using phase change i believe, he'll tell us. Nice clocks nonetheless!

Seen on some graphs the 5960x a lot are hitting 4.8-4.9 on liquid cooling setups and RVE's. The scores these things kick out on benchies makes me want it so bad!
 
Me too but really Not impressed at all for the money spent, TBH what ya gaining besides benchmarks?

Oh yeah Benchmarks! but not this cat... Not worth the money yet... Intel will soon bring out a revised chip, memory will drop like a rock then yeah I'll hop on the wagon lol..

But nice cpu scores guys, really nice!!! :respect:
 
Well for me at least, it really helps out for ABBYY Finereader ( I use this A LOT for work), compared to a 4770 it almost halves the times it takes to recognize the scanned the image which means I can do more work in less time, thus earning moar money. At a guess, I'm thinking it will make rendering videos much faster for me as well.

Yeah makes sense, Im on board but I gotta dump the current rig Im on now to afford this new tec :(

I would say from 2600K to 4770K 1.3v is entirely possible on AIR...Hell, I even had 2600K with a Hyper 212+ over 1.35v EASILY.

Hw-E is all over the map. The retail 5820K I have is good to 4.652 GHz (stable enough to run WPrime on all cores/threads) on an AIO with obscene volts (1.45 - not remotely tweaked). The ES 5930K I had borrowed from the vendor was not as good.

Sweet pump! Severely diminishing returns over 1.5GPM though note. But you will need that head for the loop regardless. ;)

Oh man has rendering been amazing on this thing, you need to try it!

On a side note, I am also at awe with the temps in my custom loop. I cannot believe at 4.6 the temps barely ever hit 70c on a core (Prime95) and I feel I could go so much more. I really want to push this thing to the edge but I am happy enough that because of voltage difference I dropped it to 4.5ghz for 24/7 for now because the difference did not seem to be much while the power requirements increased significantly. Temps are in the mid to low 60s with Prime95 now!
 
Testing ram and uncore. cpu on h20

Have you been able to hit the 3200 those sticks are rated for? And how difficult was it to break 3000 1T on the RVE?
 
1.605!!!!:twitch:

:respect:


Hynix or Micron? Hynix, right?

BTW, nice chip, those temps are pretty outstanding. Hope my RVE shows up soon.
 
Hynix 4GB single sided, new retail batch which hates any volts >1.6V comparo to early retail/ES batches that love ~1.8ish volts

I'm just impressed with the robustness of Haswell-E. I kind of thought that the memories would end up going this way (I'm sure you did too), and maybe we'll see 3600 soon. Pushing up the cache really crushes the memory, anyway, and that 50% cache OC that most seem to do might indicate the limits on the IC side, if you get what I mean.
 
I haven't had much time to play with this setup so I'm all over the place with it trying different combinations.













Nice to see you are still around Metal:toast:
I wish I could join the fun, but I am going to have to sit back and watch from a far. Sub'd anyways:)
 
Not to bad on water cooling, to bad I've got no good memory atm.

5 GHz validation, not tested stability yet and not sure I will until I can cool the water a bit.

Hi guys,

I'm after some help to try and get my memory up from its current speed of 2750Mhz namely 3000Mhz. My memory is Corsair Vengeance 2800 and ive seen reviews of it going to 3000Mhz.

I've tried just about everything. I'm not sure if it the board or the setting I've been playing with.

I've tried: memory at 1.4v, memory timings (auto and manual), uncore frequency and the uncore voltages.

The XMP setting does not work either. It just wont post.

The motherboard im using is Gigabyte Gaming G1 Wi-Fi.

Any advice would be great!

Got a pic of cpu-z at the maximum I can get it. Cant get it to budge past here.

Cheers.

Hey folks, got my 5820K running yesterday and only at 4GHz/1.15v core and 3.3GHz/1.15v ring for now on a Gigabyte X99-UD5 WiFi with 4x4GB G.Skill Ripjaws 4 DDR4-2800 sticks. My board has ridiculous coil whine that mostly goes away when under load, and also my ring pretty much won't overclock at all without instability. I thought I was having core instability, even at 4GHz @ 1.22v, but turns out the ring seemed to be the culprit. Seemingly no problems running the RAM at 2666MHz so far with no voltage increase at 16-16-16-35/2T (XMP profile). Temperatures at the current clocks are ~85c under near full WCG load on a Cooler Master TPC-812 until I receive a mounting kit for my H100 from a forum member.

Also, if anyone gets this board, it also has massive USB issues as well at startup. Even with the F8b UEFI, my card reader made the board boot loop halfway through POST and caused the "improper BIOS settings" safe mode thing to occur every time until I unplugged it.

Damn the UD5 was the board I was considering as an alternative to the X99 FTW.
 
I don't know if I just have a terrible chip or something, but my 5820K still unstable at 125*32 (4GHz, 1.13v core) and 125*27 (3.375GHz, 1.1v ring) with DDR4-2800 1.2v at 2666MHz 1.23v. Guess I'll be messing with it a lot this weekend, probably dropping the RAM back to 2133 though I doubt it will do anything. System restarted this afternoon on its own with no BSOD code and Event Viewer just shows a string of Event 41s.
 
Hey guys I could use some overclocking help. Can you guys give me some feedback on what I'm doing?
5930k @ 1.36V for 4.25 GHz with xmp profile ram @ 3000 MHz. I'm running 34x125MHz
Should I stay at 100 bclock? What other voltages should I be adjusting?

Are there any overclocking guides for the Asus X99?

Maybe ASUS has one up @ their ROG page.

Seems like you need high voltage there, CPU clock could be much higher for me, 4.6 @ 1.3V. No 3000 @ 100 BCLK, so look at reducing cache multi or increase cache voltage. Look at dumo's voltages, ignore vDRAM, of course. :P
