Board Upgrade - i7-2960XM OC Issue


J95

Recommended Posts

Wish me luck lol, gonna try o get these 16gb kit of 2133 ddr3L Hyperx Impact to load 2200mhz. J95 thanks for pointing me toward using the bios to try this.

Here you go,

Frequency/timings reference 1.50v.

Edit: CL13

I couldn't get the file uploaded via TI so here is my stock dump via Box.com

it still wouldn't boot also I noticed if I use a profile where the 2133 has lower than the 11-11-11-34 stock it wont load either. 11-11-11-32 gave it trouble. I wonder if that means the 2400mhz timing needs to be higher by stock? like 12-12-12-38? to give the 2133 an automatic timing of 11-11-11-34?

I think we are making progress though. I did get the 1.35v in via the xmp importing but it didn't boot. Im not sure if its from it lowering the 2133mhz timings.

strangest thing buddy, I tried for sake of testing 2133K SPD timing preset and it causes the ram to only get to 1867mhz just like the stock setup of those corsair 2133mhz modules. I made sure there were extra CL latencies above it and that actually didn't fix it. Strange that only 111-11-11-34 loads 2133mhz and a looser timing causes it to run 1867mhz. Well back at it lol, something has to work :)

that particular test dump is here

Got them, better remove the links...:D

@mw86

Adjust XMP 2 (TB Demo version) Frequency -> XMPE -> Profile 2 -> tCKmin -> -56 -> @2401MHz....BIOS extreme memory profiles/XMP 1,2 (find them) or try using XTU.

@J95 what might you consider enough pass's on memtest to be stable?

I went back and am testing my ram at stock speed timings as a reference point. I tested just one pass so far of 2200mhz and 2220mhz both at stock timings of CL11-11-11-34. I left 2222mhz going and im not sure hwere but i think it said pass or 5 and 6 failed with one error. So should i go for 7 just to be sure as I am testing or even longer. I figure ill see where I can stabalize via baseclock. I had no luck getting 2400mhz stable but looking at more info from Kingston, the new 2400 chips that havent been stocked yet are probably different modules. The demo they have on youtube isnt their low volt module i noticed. the 2400mhz one will be 12-13-13-35 I dug up some info.

The one on youtube is onto an XMP profile and both were set to 1.65v... so atleast i know when they release those they will be infact 1.35v modules and not the set in the video displaying worlds first 2400mhz and 2666mhz sodimm... they needed 1.65v for that and their late to the shelves model must be based off improved ram modules as they will be 1.35v 2400mhz cl12-13-13-35

cheers just need a starting point of stability in memtest. these take hours so i hope i dont have to do like 24 hours of memtest lol.

I still have memtest going.

Edit Added Info:

Okay here is my point of reference 8 passes no errors stock baseclock and ram

Thanks so much J95 im onto testing with this and XTU now then ill go back work on timings. looks like I got 2220mhz stable in Memtest.

edit:

cool looks stable on 2220mhz

Well done!

Kingston 2400MHz 1.35v, 2500MHz 2650MHz perfectly achievable...

Unfortunately Frank/...ie limited the R4 board, 2133MHz/mostly unstable :76:

That was a horrible decision wow. Thanks J95

It should surely be possible no doubt

Yep, I'm mimicking...twice already ;) still he's to blame (initially QE), not the other Engineers. e.g. never those guys would have approved AW17 Haswell MX with a double pipe heat sink solution, GPU cooling AW is still the best by a far margin, even more aggressive cooling which was initially rejected M17xR3 & M18xR1. You could include ASUS, but I won't comment further for obvious reasons...:D All this power crippling started with the R4, sadly no one said anything, it was all about the Creative chip issues and USB3 drops. Two years later I decided to upgrade the motherboard, kept the stock BIOS for maybe 15 minutes...:D flashed unlocked A11, one hour later (OS Install + BIOS tweaking) -> TS bench and surprise...:waaaht:

Messing with the AW18/Flagship (include AW17 3D MX), that's just plain stupid strategy. It will never sale as much as the smaller brothers, but still is the strongest sales argument, even for the console or whatever they decide to market...tablets? It is a challenge to make it more powerful and energy efficient (can't skip/EU) than the previous revision. One way of achieving this is by using default BIOS settings, which most users/gamers won't even get near and let the enthusiasts market your product better than anyone...investing? Paying more than the competition and getting less (excluding warranty) is not a viable option, using its past achievements doesn't survive the next revision.

hehe havent given up yet @J95

on the 2133 side i got some real tight timings

11-11-11-27

post-34-144949987979_thumb.jpg

they are actually much closer to CL10 than anything as you see in TB

I need more volts!!!!!!!! LOL wish one of the analog volt inout or system agent volt would effect it. On desktop does anyone know if thats what i need to help the system handle it better?

Yep, single channel. Try running current stable/CL 10 spd, dual channel.

24/7

ill post my bandwidth in dual channel when I get home. Nice :) Im running them in dual channel now on the timings. Ill work to post a 2400mhz screenshot and then see what it can do in dual channel.

You're doing well, I need to test out something...Since you don't have the XMP option, It's possible to create an XMP profile and set CR1 2x8GB, then import it as well. I've done this before?...:D

wow awesome i have to try that so if i make my timings in xmp then in the SPD editor import the xmp profile and it will load as Cr1 when flashed with the imported xmp in the spd editor if I understand correct?

Unfortunately timings only.
