i'm in agreement for sure!

Ok I need some help as my head feels like its going to blow up. I am having a very strange  problem. I am trying to get 191 blck stable and I almost have it sometimes it will pass the cpu test 1 and cpu test 2 sometimes it won't and get stucks at the end of cpu test 1. I am at vcore 1.59xx with VTT  250. So I am like yea it just need a bit more vcore go I set it at 1.60v try again and it won't even go passed the middle of cpu test 1 it  get stuck in the start of the test. Then I try higher vtt 275 with vcore 1.59xx and same results gets stuck right in the start of cpu test 1. I have tryed all types of combinations of vcore and vtt but notthing will work. the best progress I see it works at and sometimes passed both cpu test is with 1.59xx vcore and vtt 250. I am going nuts trying to find out what is wrong and how to get this working I know I am close plz help.

Hay DENTNU.........nice clocks mate....Q and John know there stuff ......so well done in tacking there advice to many time you see someone ask....but not listen.....
 
Just a thought to add to the mix....try losening your mem timings ........Ive marked in red above ........all this will do is aliminate that as a possible cause 
 
also try pushing the PCIe frq up to 108-110 
 
Cheers happy benching

Ha ha Face palm..............just read theedhero's suggetions above ......dam should realy read all messages
 
Sorry about that thread I supose great minds think alike

I was about to let the nitrogen gas out of my tank, and liquid shot out, lol!  Looks like I had about 5L left over from Tuesday, so I benched a few 2d tests tonight.  ( I hate 2d)  But added a few boints anyway.
 

 

 
 
 
 

@ dentnu, what made you bump your vtt to 250?  I'd keep it at 200 unless you're getting constant BSOD124's.   As well as increasing your pcie freq, try decreasing it back to 100 also.
 
@threedhero, yep I'm already using the cold slow bios.

well I tryed what you what you said I am at 191 blck, vcore 1.59xx and VTT 200 also put my pcie freq at 100 so I run the cpu test 1 and 2 and it passed. So I restart the whole complete benchmark but when it gets to cpu test one and about 80000 ops it freezes but to my surprise I press ctl atl del and what do you know it lets me end the process with having to reboot. I must be very close to having it stable but I just can't figure out what setting I need to raise. Any suggestions plz ?

Thats the thing once I hit vcore 1.6xx its like it goes completely unstable as it gives me a hard lock causing a BSOD reboot almost as soon as cpu test 1 starts. I ill try once more see what happens thanks for the advice

Turn vdroop off too.

Alrighty guys, I can get a TRUE 120 Black for $40 shipped. Should I? 226W TEC would be sandwiched between Apogee GTZ CPU waterblock and it. (Cold side would face CPU block ofc, hot side would be on the TRUE. What kind of temps would that give?

You going the TEC route?
 

My pleasure.  I would suggest getting one of those EVbots- makes life so much easier. 

Not sure about TEC cooling Halo, you might try over @ XS or that Chillernr1 guy building the SR-2 with TEC they should help you out...

I'm just curious as to what kind of temps it'd get. If I could get ya know, 10C or so that would be nice.
 
Edit: seems I lost the quote I made of Nate.. Oh well.

Alright new idea, what if you take a Corsair H50/H70, use it to cool the hot side, and the put the coldside facing the Apogee GTZ block(Would be using this in line with main CPU loop).
 
So the sandwich would look like this...
 
120mm fan(For H50 rad) - H50 <-- Hotside/Coldside --> Apogee GTZ
 
While the whole CPU loop would be like:
 
MCP 355 --> Apogee GTZ(TEC)--> EK Supreme HF(CPU) --> MCP 355
 
Ideas on temps? If they're low then I'll definitely look into it lol.
