A step into the blue

[cdawall]

Well I am moving over finally. Going LGA 2011 since I got a free board at work, after straightening 3 pins it appears to be fully functional with a 5930K I was testing out. All 4 memory channels worked and appeared to clock up like it should.

I went with a Corsair Air 240, because they were in stock and fit everything I wanted in the build. As of right now I plan to move to a single Fury Nano and 5820K.

Current specs

CPU:TBD
Motherboard: Gigabyte X99M gaming 5
Ram: EVGA 4x4GB 2800
VGA:TBD
SSD: 5X 120gb OCZ trion 100 raid0, 1x 256gb OCZ vector
Cooler: H100i with corsair SP's in push/pull
PSU: Antec TPQ-1000

Well it's up and running. Still need to get a new video card in it, but I like it so far.

 

[cdawall]

Playing with the memory a bit. It seems to be clocking reasonably well.

edit: 1.355v I am curious how far it will go.

 

[cdawall]

I think it is about maxed out on 1.35v. What is max on these haswell-e chips anyway?

 

[Tatty_Two]

Not being familiar with Haswell-E, is that bus speed right or a faulty reading?

I know on X79 you can adjust the BLK clock from 100 to 125 which comes up as the bus clock rate. That's a nice setup and welcome to the blue side.

Actually, I have settings to go as high as 250 MHz with my ASUS R4BE

It is correct. You can play with the qpi on x99. With this multi I can't get it any higher with this voltage at least. Don't want to toast this chip right away.

Good stuff! I'm enjoying my 5820k. Now, you have given me the itch to push it more.. lol I just set my multiplier to x45, set my voltage and ram.. and I was done.. lol haven't touched it since. but it's my work pc.. Mostly coding, compiling, and compressing.. and a lot of monitoring.. lol

Thanks, I too can change BClock settings, obviously my CPU is different so will behave differently but I have found with mine achieving an extra 100mhz stable thru BClock requires more volts than using the multi alone which is why I asked.

This was to push the ram up higher, my lazy ass just chose the XMP profile, auto sets that bus clock. From the little reading I have done this speed for this clock speed is completely average. I can get it to boot into windows at 4.7x, but it isn't stable needs more volts I just don't know what is acceptable with these things.

It appears to be 1.375 is max so I have a bit more to go. Temps are low right now (60C load fans on "silent mode")

I have mine at 1.349 @4.5

The 4.58ghz on mine is 1.355v it could probably be dropped down however that was just me winging it off of a couple random forum posts.

That's not bad. I've been really impressed with this chip and for the price you can't beat it in it's price range. I don't see how anyone would pick a 6700k over this 5820k chip.

Ignorance is how people pick them. People always seem to think it is much more expensive to go to X99. I mean mine was assisted with a free board, but even without that they aren't really more expensive.

 

[kenkickr]

And some think you have to use 4 sticks of ram to make it function.

 

[cdawall]

4 sticks of ram is not really anyore expensive than 2 if you are comparing 16gb kits

 

[cdawall]

This is with chrome running in the background kicked it up to 1.375v

Each platform has ups and downs. Personally I would pick x99 because I would use the cores, and quad channel RAM might help, I guess... that said, a Skylake i3 would be better for everyone else in the house.

An AM1 APU can handle most normal user loads...

 

[sneekypeet]

Any luck tweaking that ram?

 

[cdawall]

Haven't had much time to play with it. Will kick the bootstrap off when I get home tonight and try it out. I can't see why it wouldn't do well.

@sneekypeet this board doesn't like clocking up without pushing the bus up. I can't get 4.6/3000 stable all multi. I'll just leave it at 4.6/3100 that works fine for literally every thing I do.

No timing love?
