XMP was disabled, though pushing the chip down to 1.2vcore garnered less than favorable results, system instantly shut down = ( tried raising the PLL a bit and downclocking the ram to 1333 but no luck, the chip just doesn't want to go there... Will set the subtimings manually when I get home...

Aida 64 reports the same, as does hwmonitor

Interesting...will double check the bios and see if I turned xmp on by accident. When I very first booted the system after building windows voltage was very low (as one would expect with speedstep bringing the clock speed down to 1.2ghz), around 1.1v or so. All of sudden the chip started pumping...

Just got out of the bios, managed to get it down around 1.25. Running linx right now, hoping it hangs in there...

So I just put a 2011 rig together yesterday and was unpleasantly surprised to see cpu-z reading the vcore @ 1.304 bone stock...no changes have been made in bios at all. Have seen another thread where someone had a chip with an even higher stock vcore and returned it through intel's Performance...

bump :)

In the market for a mid to high-end 2011 board to be used in a build I'm doing for a friend. Brand doesn't matter too much to her but some examples of interest are: -msi big bang xpower ii -rive -gigabyte ud7 -asus p9x79 pro or deluxe Thanks guys = )

Agree completely, had the 3820 for a few months & it was a fantastic chip!

to the top = )

shame = ( looks like a nice setup!

Bump!

In the market for a 1000w + platinum unit. Will keep an eye on the thread...

No offense taken, I appreciate the input & your points are valid. I'm not unaware of the community dynamics of well-established forums, members look out for each other. Yes, unfortunately, there are many disingenuous people who abuse the privilege of these B/S/T threads. If nobody feels...
