For 2400 try CL10-11-11 or 10-12-11 1.65V . Since it's hynix, you won't see big difference setting higher voltage than 1.65V on standard cooling. Only voltages that can help will be VCCIO or VCCSA. VCCSA should be fine at stock or in worst case try 1.00-1.05V. VCCIO set to 1.15V or up to 1.20V to try if it's helping.
Tried that yesterday, went from 2133 to 2600 (ram 1.65V, VCCIO 1.17V). Prime blend 6h stable. Timing: 11-13-12-28 1T. Thanks mate! Indeed, raising ram voltage had absolutely no effect on stability. Gonna do some tests today, maybe can push this even more. It booted with 10-12-11 aswell but failed Prime with first cycle.
 
any advice im a nooby here just built my system i had 4.2 stable for a week so now im trying 4.5. i guess my cpu is not all that great compared to all of the posts ive seen in this thread any way who cares its still a beast to me compared to what i used to have lol
just looking for some advice
 
Stable at 4.4 Ghz with 1.28 vCore. 4.5 Ghz is possible but I am lazy.

MAIN RIG in sig-

I'm rock-solid at 1.26v 4.5GHz, but still tweaking. Temps get into the low 80's. I might play around with a bench stable speed, but for 24/7 I think this is it. 4.6GHz is going to get too hot I think.

I may try a remount to be sure I got a good TIM application, but it's probably the Intel TIM getting in the way. I also might try to increase the mounting pressure.

Anybody removed the IHS with good results?

RAM is happy at 2400 1.625v 10-12-12-31 2T; I briefly tried unsuccessfully for 2600, but I have a few more things I want to try before I give up on that or tighter timings.

With this Samsung 830 256GB SSD I'm able to type in a web browser 18s after pressing the power button! :D
 
Ok is this thread still going? I wanted to add my chips results. I got 4.6 at 1.35v under a load it's 1.25v, LLC is set to Auto I could not get it to work at any levels. Max temp during AIDA64 was 78*-83* which ran for 4:16:00. I left it there and I am happy with that config.:bday:
 
I'm at 4.6GHz now at 1.32v. Stable or very close.

1.627v PLL
1.076v VTT
1.625v DRAM
0.925v VCCSA
Level2 LLC

Lowering PLL helped a lot.

Hottest core hit 86 before i left the house. I left blend with 4GB usage running and i hope it's still running when i get home tomorrow.

I've seen conflicting responses online about vtt-dram differential. Do I need to keep it less than 0.5v on ivy bridge? I know it was important on 1366. Seems more stable where it's at.
 
I think this will be my 24/7. 4.6GHz is just getting too hot for my liking at 88°C. I'll de-lid/lap if I want to further, but this is fine for now. Had to dial my RAM back a bit too (2200) as 2400 was causing boot problems sometimes, but would run P95 Blend for hours. But now I can run the RAM at 1.60 instead of 1.65v and also tighter timings; 9-11-11-28-1T instead of 10-12-12-31-2T.

4.5GHz @ 1.272v / 80°C max after 19+hrs P95 Blend w/ 90+% RAM usage

2400 10-12-12-31-2T 1.65v


Edit:

I spent some time trying to get 2600 to boot w/ no luck. I tried up to 1.75v RAM, 1.3v VTT(VCCIO), 1.2v VCCSA.

I was real close at 2400 w/ 1.65v RAM, 1.07-1.15v VTT, 0.925v VCCSA, but whenever I tried to reboot the PC would not POST and threw code 23 on the mobo readout (sometimes code 20). I kept trying higher voltages with no luck. I also shot for tighter timings w/o any luck at voltages I felt comfortable w/ for 24/7 usage.

I may run some benches at 2400 and possibly tighter than stock timings, but for 24/7 usage I need something w/o boot issues.
