So questions for you all.
I have a 3930k normally with 32GB ram (Corsair Vengance 1600 kits) and I added another one for 64GB ram. I do a lot of work with VMs and I need ram badly. Problem is, seems that memtest fails whenever I have more ram than 32GB installed (and yes I know which first four slots to put the ram in to.
I've also noticed that memtest (version 4.3.3) shows the ram speed cut more than 50% when I put more ram in than the first four sticks (17000 MB/s vs 7200 MB/s). Not sure if that is by design either.
Is this more a problem about the IMC on my 3930k or a problem with the motherboard? If it is the IMC, I am eligible to trade my 3930k in for a 4930k, but I hesitate to do that as this 3930k has been a really good clocker (5.0GHz on water easily). Would the 4930k have a better IMC?
I've done all of this testing a stock clocks and voltages. Do I need to increase my VCCSA or VTT even at stock CPU speeds?
