Mine just failed too, lasted less than six months. These are junk, stay away from them. Not even bothering with an RMA would never trust putting this thing back in. Went with a Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 instead.
I just had the EXACT same thing happen and I also went with the MSI X399 Gaming Pro Carbon as a replacement. The MSI came right up and has been flawless.
this was my experience as well. got the new ram and same thing. I could boot into windows for 30 sec on 4.7ght @ 1.35 and windows stable 4.6ghz at 1.30 but prime will bluescreen after 15-30 min :( I just cant justify more than 4.5 with the voltage that high
did you try 4.6 core with the same settings? curious what would change for you
My ram should be here by thursday (ram in sig) so i can get back to pushing this thing :)
I am interested in the simplicity of the layout. I can use this to build my 9 year old daughters first computer with her and it would be really easy to get her started on overclocking as well. And the Quick Notes along with customizable shortcuts would make for a great learning experience.
Only changed the settings listed. I was originally trying to start out at 4.6 and that's why I had it so high. Since staying at 4.5 till the ram gets here, decided to back off the volts and see how low I could get it
Ok update on settings :
Core 45x
CPU Ratio Mode : Dynamic ( this is what enables the cpu to clock down when not needed)
Enhanced Turbo : Enabled ( saw no difference in clocks when disabled so not sure what this does)
Core voltage : 1.225 core voltage (down from 1.285)
Core voltage cpu mode ...
Lets get some more info going here. Whats everyone's current setup?
lets use the following template :
Any Bios Settings Changed from default :
Core 45x
1.285 core voltage - overide
Ram using XMP at 1600
Load temp (prime 95 seems the best) ~70c
Running Windows 8 pro
tried 4.6ghz and will...
