i7 5820k Overclock Help!

[Rob-]

Hello!

I'm not an experienced overclocker and I'd like some help. 

 

Quick specs

5820k

x99 deluxe

H110i

16gb quad channel corsair 2800mhz

2x r9 290

corsair hx1000

So I watched Linus's video and managed to get the same 4.5ghz and got the vcore down to 1.24v and runs through all the time of realbench and aida I throw at it.

I thought it was time to move on to the ram so..

The two XMP profiles options are at 2800 and 3000. When I select the 2800mhz profile the BCLK goes to 127.3 which kinda changes everything and now I'm kinda stuck at where to go from here.

Pics of how the settings are http://imgur.com/a/TLdWz

 

I'm a total noob on this matter and any help would be appreciated 

Cheers!

Are you using the XMP Profile?

Yes, the 2800 one as you see in the pictures.

Fails within 10 seconds of Aida.

Frequency = BLCK * Multiplier. If the XMP increases the BCLK, then you gotta decrease the multiplier to achieve around the same frequency as before. For 4.5ghz, that would be a multiplier of 35 (4.455ghz) or 36 (4.582). I'd go fo rthe 35 one.

I'm not X99 expert but on Z97 & Z170 XMP doesn't affect BCLK. 

 

I suggest you wait for someone to chime in who knows more about X99 than I do, any advice I give would just be a guess.

Wrong. XMP can affect the Bclk. It's just that the RAM sticks people usually buy with Skylake builds come with XMPs that don't mess with it. But if you were to get one of the older DDR4 kits with XMPs tuned for X99, it would change the Bclk on Z170 as well.

I set it to 35 and it fails in Aida after two minutes. Is it time to adjust voltages?

Can happen. RAM OCs can cause CPU OCs to be unstable (And vice versa). And that's assuming the RAM OC is stable in the first place. Try going with with a lower multi (34 / 33) and see if you get stable then.

34 failed in seconds

33 blue screened "irql_not_less_or_equal"

Upon the restart I'm greeted with a Cpu overvolt error and cpu overtemp error

I get in to the bios to see this

 

 

That's kinda worrying.. 

I went in to the bios to confirm that the vcore hadn't changed from the 1.2 yet somehow this happened.

[Imakuni]

Hmm.. try the 3000mhz profile. It should use Blck = 125, which should be more stable.

Thanks for the replies

Should I be worried about that overvoltage error?

I'll try the 3000mhz profile now.

Re-set it to your desired voltage and enter the bios again. It should fix itself.

[Rob-]

Alright I'm using the 3000mhz profile now with 33 on the multiplier and aida fails within a few seconds.

Asides from the vcore All voltages are on auto at this point.

Any ideas?
