All of the best dies go to Threadrippah and EPYC chips instead of going to the R7 line now. At launch the chips weren't binned as tight as they are now either so 1700/X rarely do 4/4.1.
Someone has binned a lot of R7, I dont believe there's any chance of the details being in an article or youtube video though.. I dont even get the full details and testing procedure lol.
Lol i don't know if Id want it back after service time as the dreaded Dad's Basement PC.
I paid $90 USD for a QX9650 EE with the right batch/stepping recently lol.
You find what your RAM will do first and then add the CPU OC afterward. There is also the cache, which you find the max for after the CPU is clocked, as you can see in the memory tab here at 5.3GHz (NB Freq)
This dude ordered me to edit a post in another thread because I said it was OK to use more than 1.35V on DDR4 then quickly edited his own when I smacked em down with proof.
He's wrong all the time and a dick about it.
Dont mess with the CPU leave it on stock/auto. Then try
Enable XMP
Save & exit
Let it fail post
Press memOK button
Raise dram voltage
Save & exit
MemOK keeps the unstable settings but lets it post to bios so you can adjust them. If it works then lower voltage until it fails post then memOK again and use the last stable volts.
You could also try changing the set of dimm slots youre using.
Use the memOK button after enabling XMP when it wont post. Change the voltage to 1.4V. This will tell you if youre going to get anywhere. If not, the quality of you ram or cpu is very low.
I ran DDR4 at 1.45v for a couple of years and it's 100% safe at that 24/7.
Perfectly safe.
Dom Plat came out in 2012 as ddr3. The DDR4 version is not only for X99.
I have a few kits of Dominator GT triple channel for X58 and it works on earlier P45 and X48 in single or dual channel.
