First time overclocking

[Nocturn]

I am trying to overclock 10980xe on Asus prime deluxe II w 64gb of Corsair vengeance ram(3600)

 

I was able to get a stable manual overclock of only 4.6 ghz using the LTT tutorial 

With the only main difference being that I set the power limit to 200% not 140%

 

Using the EZ tuning wizard on the motherboard I am able to achieve 4.9ghz, however if I try to launch cinemabench, windows crashes giving me weird driver error codes like:

kmode_exception_not_handled

or

driver_irql_not_less_or_equal 

While gaming the system “appears” to be stable with the ez overclock.

 

Again, I am super new to this, so if anybody has any tips in how to reach a stable 4.9-5.1 overclock I would love them.

 

P.S.

using an AIO H150I from Corsair

The settings to which ez sets the CPU

There's just too many cores to ask for high clock speeds under heavy workloads. I dont think you have room for more voltage with only an H150i either

The not max cores are at 4.1, I am still at 70 degrees

you cannot compare chips like this. eventough the chips may be named the same, the sillicon will be different. so what is stable for someone else may not be stable for you.

Well, the first thing I always say is to not go in with a goal or expectation. Every piece of silicon has different capabilities, and overclocking is how we go about maximizing our chip's potential.

 

If it's crashing due to an OC, it's unstable. One thing you can check is for WHEL events in event viewer, to see if your CPU is getting "correctable" errors at the hardware level, which indicates marginal stability.

 

The 10980XE is an absolute monster, and @Jurrunio is correct, it'll probably draw an immense amount of power and make an immense amount of heat under synthetic loads.

 

One thing you can try to help is to set an AVX offset, as that's typically the hardest and hottest load for an OC'd chip.

 

When it comes to OC'ing, you're limited by a number of things:

• Stability
• Amperage (VRM/Power delivery capabilities, Mobo)
• Voltage (Safe voltages for CPU)
• Thermal Solution (lower temps allows higher voltages, too high also can cause throttling)
• BIOS limitations

Just to name a few. You're balancing all these requirements to maximize performance.

Not max cores, so it's not all core 4.6? I assume only 2 cores 4.6 then?

 

GN results dont mean too much, you're not using exactly the same CPU as they are.

I understand that silicon is different , but on all forums people are able to achieve 4.8 min of stable all core overclock. It mostly varies between 4.8-5.2 ghz and I am way below that point.

And I have a potato 2500K that isn't stable at 4.5 GHz and 1.35 V. It happens.

Have you tried Intel Extreme Tuning Utility?

Without any success.

I currently have 2 stable overcloks

BIOS 4.4ghz on and ASUS AI overclocking with base 4.1 and max cores at 4.9

Perhaps you're asking the CPU for too much then? Just because someone else overclocked the same model more it doesn't mean you can. Different batches, different mobos. Also, you're talking about a youtuber with lots of experience.

It would have been the case, if the lets call it “default” result is from 4.8 all core and up, and I am getting 0.7ghz slower, which is a huge gap
