I believe the entire purpose of the hyper was to do the non-BLCK OC without Z170 chipset.

It's rebranded Patriot, the new stuff is Hynix MFR like you find in... basically any 4/8GB kit rated for 2400+ and the older stuff is Micron. Both fine. Both run XMP/AMP.

Either more NB volts. Or bad NB wall. @bubblewhale 680i SLI is junk for quads and not much better for duals.

Pretty sure that's 60c socket temp

well, if you buy crap you get crap in return

That's one pig of an i7

Crap board and/or crap memory controller, you'll need to run lower sadly

More likely to hit OCP or OVP than kill it.

nope.

For a true retro build you want a P5B Deluxe

Temperatures have a direct correlation with resistance in a CPU (Positive temperature co-efficient). Which mainly affects a few things to my knowledge: - Voltage requirement - Degradation (via Current Crowding) - CPU overclocking (as a result of the first one). For example at ambient room temp with water my 3570K will do 5GHz @ 1.34V, at -25c it does 5.45 at the same voltage and 5.7 at -50c. But a CPU at 4.5GHz at -80c and a CPU at 4.5GHz at 80c will perform the same (provided its the same CPU), one will just require less volts. ___________________________________________________ Anandtech did a bit on degradation a while ago, although it was applying to the 45nm Hi-K MG used at the time the principle is still the same. I know someone whos G3258 was folding for about 2 years and it went from 4.6 1.22V to like 4.4 1.27V.

Not sure what rumors you listen to but the RX480 does indeed come with a 4GB variant.

correct, although I believe they re-labeled it on that series to "Digi+" with no telltale markings, but they often label these controllers as the "digi + ASP1212" on their VGAs also

My Rampage 3 Extreme was based on the 8318, I suspect its likely the same for the others

HyperX Fury doesn't use XMP. So it might be because of that. Set timings manually 10-12-12 1866MHz tRFC of 248 and 1.65V
