Intel says the 9900k VCore limit is 1.52V?

I should be home around 10pm your time. Gotta get the kid from work around that time (8pm central)

Ok sounds good I’ll send a reply when I’m on, maybe we can connect through a message/voice app or something. May be easier than posting here

Just stopping at the station I’ll be ready to rock by 10:30

Hey are you available?

 

[Deleted member 185158]

nowhere yes.

 

[KrebD98]

nowhere yes.

cool, so how do you want to do this, what should I do first thing clear my CMOS?

 

[Deleted member 185158]

You can also go into bios and set all defaults or clear cmos.

Run the system stock. Wanna see some Memory cpu-z specs too. Get a base line score and then we'll go from there.

I have a hand picked timing set all lined up that I'm actually testing at 1700mhz which is over your XMP speeds. I'm using 1.400v and this is the max you want to ride with 2/4/7 usage and see what we can squeeze from that.

Going to do really basic overclocking. Concentrate on memory while cpu is default. That is required for proper testing. Need to count on cpu stability first, get MEM oc where we want it, and then you apply the Cpu overclock and test again. Also with the cpu stock, we can rule out thermal issues during the ram overclock.

My RAM is 3200MHz.

My RAM is 3200MHz.

Nevermind, it's double data rate I forgot

 

[Deleted member 185158]

Yes you may have to do some subtracting, but that's 3400mhz I'm running.

The timing set I have for you is as follows.

Try 3300mhz/3400mhz
CL-16
tRCD-16
tRP-16
tRAS-36
tRFC-374

Try this at 1.3500v mem first.
It could like a tad more, but you'll be ok up to 1.40v without a fan on the memory.

If you boot and test above successfully, congrats, you've overclocked your memory past factor XMP.

Having some difficulties getting into bios now, I'm jamming DEL and it's just loading right to Windows

OK so was that before or after clear cmos?

 

[KrebD98]

OK so was that before or after clear cmos?

I think it was msi fast boot that I enabled before work, it disables sata and possibly usb during post i cleared cmos will show results

idk if you can zoom in on the picture

you want to see every tab of CPU-Z?

 

[Deleted member 185158]

Open Cpu-z two more times and hit SPD and memory.
Get score write it down.
Need to see your memory timings. They look like my JDEC #6 profile. I'd like to confirm.

After you've done that, go ahead and load the XMP profile but manually set Memory voltage to 1.350v.
Do the same, cine, cpu-z 3 times SPD cpu and mem tabs.

like so.

mainboard.

which score Cinebench?

 

[Deleted member 185158]

Yea good. Just open cpu-z a couple more times. Run the exe more than once. then select seperate tabs.

See above Shrimpy screeny. ^^

 

[KrebD98]

ok.

different runs.

 

[Deleted member 185158]

Like this buddy.

 

[KrebD98]

ok sorry i didn't realize I could open CPU-Z multiple times at once

would you like to get on viber or whatsapp it might be a lot faster

here

 

[Deleted member 185158]

NP, carry on then.

Load up the XMP profile. Set memory voltage to 1.350v leave everything on auto.

After you've gotten that score.
Then load the above mentioned profile.
Go to memory timings and manually set.
16-16-16-36 tRFC 374 leave everything else on auto.
For reference to exact timings, go to the above post with and write down all the timings if you are not familiar or cannot remember them.
Keep memory voltage at 1.350v (it may require more, but start here.)



Edit: These timings are from my 3600 XMP sticks. So the timings should be good up to this speed.

nah the forum is fine.
Pretty sure you'll be on OC in no time.

Note: you can still manually tweak timings while Bios is loaded XMP. You can leave it in XMP mode, that's fine.

 

[KrebD98]

ok these are with new timings, those other pics were with XMP on already.

 

[Deleted member 185158]

OK now you are overclocking.

Wash rinse repeat.

Please test at each memory speed interval. And I don't mean a quick CB run. Actually stress test your system. Play a few top titles. Run it for a good day night after work w/e and the next day increase the memory frequency. Test for stability, stress and gaming .... wash rinse repeat.

It takes time, but right now, you've started small and gotta work your way up.

The board on auto, will accommodate the divider. This makes it a pain sometimes, but for the most part shouldn't be too much trouble.

Once you get somewhere between 3400 and 3600mhz, hoping for 3600mhz, it may be a stretch to get more from those sticks without sacrifice. So Aim small t first. Can't just dial in a number and hope it runs that speed. lol

 

[KrebD98]

you get somewhere between 3400 and 3600mhz, hoping for 3600mhz, it may be a stretch to get more

So I keep these timings and just adjust the frequency as far as it is stable? Do I need to adjust command rate?

What about CPU overclock

 

[Deleted member 185158]

I'm interested to see if the command rate changes back to 1T on auto. I know mine I can run 1T at this frequency easily.
Yes keep those timings up to 3600mhz, test along the way.
Again stress test. Not set it and forget it, remember you'r overclocked above XMP rated frequency.

You're binning your own sticks

 

[KrebD98]

ok I just use the BIOS increments to raise the frequency? that's it

 

[Deleted member 185158]

Yep pretty much.
Don't really have to do anything crazy, your sticks XMP is that the same as my JDEC #6
Intel 9900 IMC is very nice.you'll probably get 3600mhz stable between 1.350 and 1.40v
From the factory your 3200mhz are only binned to that frequency. But I see a lot of Trident Z shares a lot of characteristics.
Combined with a little experience, and testing, you'll be into buying faster sticks very soon if not thinking already.

I dropped my Memory clock from 4300mhz for testing to your rig for example. You aren't even giving the memory controller a tickle yet hehe.

Interesting I bought these off Newegg https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232352?Item=N82E16820232352 as a quad channel pack so they're meant to operate together, my old system was on the X99 platform and I bought them before I decided to do a whole new build
