I remember my 955 was not accepting 1T any more above 3.9GHz. Might change it to 2T, see if that helps...

Well I think you should take one step at a time. Have you established stability ie, 2+ hours Prime blend at 4.0 yet? If you haven't see if you can get stable there first before you try and push. If you find you're having issues, you may want to set the ram back to 1333 with the timings in the XMP-1332 profile. Get the Cpu stable first then you can work on pushing other things such as the ram and Nb freq.

Stability at 4.0 ghz has not been a problem.

Have you actually run Prime Blend for 2+ hours?

Sorry, I have not run it for over 2 hours yet. I think about an hour is the most I've done.
I will run it for over 2 hours when I get home and post the results tonight.

Ok starting again. I bumped up the vcore .01, the ram volts to 1.65 and i lowered the cpu/nb to 1.25.
I'll check back in around 11pm est. Thanks everyone for all your help!

How does the VRM sink feel? Any large variance in vcore in HWinfo?

Right now the Min vcore is 1.440 and max is 1.476 and i set it in the bios to 1.49
I'm not sure what you mean how does the vrm sink feel.

Does it feel hot. Thats a pretty large variance in vcore. What is your LLC setting at? Auto?

Is your ram still set the way it was in post #16? If it is lets back it down to its rated specs for now that way we can rule out if the ram is causing the issue. Also just to be on the same page are you running Prime Blend?

My ram is still set to 1600mhz and I increased to 1.65v, I'm currently 1 hour in if it fails again i will put the ram back to 1333mhz and re run. Should I leave it at 1.65v or reduce that to auto?
I am running prime blend. Thank you for clarifying that because I was going to ask.

If you set it back to 1333 which is stock since the JEDEC profile asks for 1.6v yes I'd leave it at 1.65v.

depending on how well your thermals do you could set LLC to on (IIRC that board is auto/on/off) but also, if it behaves like the M5A97 (1.0) then LLC to on is gobs of v...

I made it through the 2 hours
above are the screen shots. One thing I changed on this run was I upped the CPU-NB from the suggested 1.25 to 1.27v. My temp stays pretty solid around 49-50*C. The vcore stayed around 1.44-1.46 despite having the bios set to 1.49.

Excellent, now if you want start working on the Nb Freq, same theory applies. Raise Nb freq to 2400 run blend, pass raise NB freq again, fail add Cpu Nb V till it passes while watching temps.View attachment 169266View attachment 169267View attachment 169268

Ok I will start one now and report back this afternoon.
Should I change my LLC (currently auto) it was suggested earlier but I am not sure if that was just to compensate for the failing test.
