this is just another living thread on my findings with this board
On my quest to be Lord of the Rings with this motherboard has been very interesting. Trying to get my 5930k to overclocking the same level on my Asus Rampage V is taking some getting used to. I tried do a normal overclock on the ring of about 4.5 gigahertz at 1.45 volts it did not let me boot I got locked to the point where I had to clear the BIOS 3x to get it to post again. I put the setting on auto and it post at around 1.456 volts so I tried to key that in manually but still it was a no-go I did some research and found I was to set ring around 1.3 and ring oc2 to around 1.4 ~1.45 24/7 use .
Doing this I was able to post at 4.5 gigahertz CPU + 4.5 uncore did some stability tests and had to drop down to 44 uncore so now I wanted to dial in memory which led me to 3400mhz with gkill trident 3733mhz ram. The problem was I couldnt set uncore because I had to turn down the multipliers because of high bclk to I think around 26 and the auto value for that ring voltage was 1.2 something. I left ring auto and set ring oc to 1.45 and tried to boot it powered down turned back on and just would cycle from 04 to 60 on the post code. Long story short cpu damaged and killed a ram stick so not to get discouraged I tried another dd4 kit and it would randomly boot.
My other 5930k was going into abother build so that was a no go. I said I needed another cpu and it can't be godlike without a 5960 so I picked one up and so far load tested it to 4.73Ghz @1.401v on auto I was happy as hell but said maybe it do at a lower voltage so I used command center to back down to 1.38 while on auto in the bios and voltage shot to 1.77volts in cpuz I never jumped out the chair so quickly lol but long I trust that this board needs a bios and I will not be able to test extreme ram clocks until new memory comes I'm at 3200mhz currently. So far adjusting cpu and uncore has not been a issue I do have replacement plan on cpu but due to the fact I never have gotten a sample this good I don't want to kill it yet lol.we shall see when memory comes what I'll do and I'll try to get in contact with msi about my bios issues. It's been up and running since
was doing some voltage testing :scope: :bsod:
