    5800x with g.skill 3600 is unstable

    Hi, yes I'm trying those today, I wish it would just run stock settings though. I have older ddr4 I can try. Also, I have another mobo, psu and CPU I could try. Not sure the smartest order to swap components. I'm also not thinking that the m2 drive has anything to do with it.

    5800x with g.skill 3600 is unstable

    Hi, so continuing this post: I rma'd the ram kit and installed new replacement. This build continues to be unstable. Researching forums this appears to be related to 'low idle freeze'. Actually it will sit over night running, and in the morning as soon as you grab the mouse and say open a...

    5800x with g.skill 3600 is unstable

    Thanks for the info, I am using the correct slots. Last night though, I ran memtest and let it run, with bios set to auto (no docp) and memtest generated 1256 errors. Unless this board (ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero) is somehow undervolting the memory it sounds like a bad kit.

    5800x with g.skill 3600 is unstable

    Hi, I just built a new system. X570 mono with 5800x. I bought a 3600 g.skill kit 2x32. I enabled docp, but immediately got random freezes. I temporarily turned off docp. The system seems more stable, but then I thought I’d run memtest and generated 9 errors by test 6. A second memtest ran...

    Need mobo for 3600x

    Thanks for the advice, I'm tempted to wait too, but it appears the age of the 2600k and it's chipset are causing trouble with the intel wireless transmitter. I have the 3900x on this computer with a X570 chipset and 128gb of ram! Great system - 24 threads means I can multitask cpu intensive...

    Need mobo for 3600x

    Hi, I hoping to upgrade my wireless HTC vive computer. It's on it's last legs with a 2600k oc to 4.8 and a 1080 gpu. For now, I just want to upgrade the mobo, cpu and ram on a bit of a budget. Main issue is the X570 mobo's are expensive. So I've turned to older B450 mobo's for the lower...

    3900x oc to 4.3 question

    True, it was stable though at 1.35, instability in p95 showed at 1.325 so pretty narrow margin I agree.

    3900x oc to 4.3 question

    Ok, I reset to stock and then just changed PBO from auto to enabled. Core voltage on auto runs around 1.43v which seems crazy, but that drops to 1.32 under load. With PBO enabled during cb20 load I'm seeing 4.05 exactly as you guys predicted. So next up I'll test the per core oc as per the...

    3900x oc to 4.3 question

    Hmm, ok I'll check, still learning my way around amd bios. I tested p95 small fft at 4.3ghz manual and 1.325v and get instant errors. So I'm resetting to stock and keep testing. Thanks for all the info.

    3900x oc to 4.3 question

    If I'm loading the chip all cores, it's running at stock 3.8, so manual of 4.3 makes a big difference: eg. 7500 cinebenchr20 up from 6950

    3900x oc to 4.3 question

    I have the thermaltake 360 in a Fractal R6 case. I'll try the voltage a little lower, thanks for the link - I'll try it and see how it goes!

    3900x oc to 4.3 question

    Unfortunately I do both, solidworks and FEA are strongly single threaded and rendering / point cloud software is incredibly multi-threaded (like 100% utilization for 8 hours importing data on my previous 8700k). I knew about PB and PBO but not PB2? More research required.

    3900x oc to 4.3 question

    I would see 4.6 on single core just watching the load on Core Temp though so can't speak about the accuracy of that. I'm currently running 1.35v for the 4.3 manual with LLC at 3, so I see a droop to 1.34 under load. Just now though I'm reading that 1.35 may be a little too high? Aida64...

    3900x oc to 4.3 question

    Hi, I have my 3900x running at 4.3 all cores. So that's fine, improves the cinebench r20 score (7500), but by manually forcing all cores to 4.3 it means they are allways there, and I'm missing out on the boost to 4.6 on single threaded apps. I'm new to the amd bios environment so I'll keep...

    128gb memory for 3900x?

    Hi, I would like 4 32gb modules at 3200. Corsair doesn't sell a 4x32 kit at that speed ( I think 2600 they top out at). But they do sell these 2x32gb modules. https://www.newegg.ca/corsair-64gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820236586 Do you think 4 of these would work ok? Mobo is...
