Thanks for the quick start, Jacob. Waiting on my loop to see what this chipset can do!
 
Does the UEFI BIOS has a screen capture function or are you using a capture card?
There are a lot more timing options for the RAM than I am used to seeing, can you recommend a resource for understanding all of them?

Sorry to double post but it won't let me edit.
 
I see the F12 screenshot option now. Does that just require a FAT32 USB drive inserted like other UEFI BIOS or can it go to an installed disk?

Great guide!

Curious about Offset adaptive.  it says, "Current voltage" and when it looked it was at 1.3.  I wanted it to go to 1.35, so I added +50 and when I came back, it was at 1.10... so, I am guessing that the offset is not Current Voltage, but default base voltage?  I just want to make sure, as I really want to pull the voltage down and see how it runs. I am currently sitting on auto, 4.5ghz and the highest core is reading 1.4v... I think Auto is giving more than necessary.

I also was confused by that as well, what is defined as "Current Voltage"?

Can someone shed some light?  
 
Currently running Override voltage at 1.375, max observed temp in HWInfo64 is projecting at 86c on for 3.. 87c on core three in Aida 64, and the motherboard is not showing over 80c ever...  Which temperature am I supposed to believe, and is the adaptive offset for the base voltage?

Another annoyance is the reporting of RAM.  BIOS says 2667, one spot on AIDA64 say 2667 but another says "Defualt 2133", CPU-z just says 2133 and I can not figure out if it is a DDR4 limitation at this time or what.  Sorry for asking so many questions, but I want to make sure I get the most out of this system while I have people here that understand more than I do.

Currently just spending my time int he BIOS trying to figure out how the voltage works with adaptive.  Currently at 4.5ghz, and adaptive set to +270 (equalling 1.378v according to the bios)
The part that confuses me is that at stock, it sits at .995v.. +270 should be 1.265v...  so, what is pulling the voltage to 1.378?  that is not even close to the same. 
 
 
I am going to keep tinkering and try to get this figured out.  So far, I am only slightly confused.  I think when the multiplier is increased, it slightly bumps the voltage, and the offset adds on the rest of the necessary voltage.. I am happy to find that I was correct about Auto feeding WAY too much voltage in though... 
 
 
OK.  Found the issue with the RAM timings... For some reason, it keeps resorting back to stock settings anytime I access the BIOS.. Except for when I go to the memory tab and make a change.. this is EVERY Single Time.  Not sure why that is necessary to go make a change, but at least I found how to "unbreak it" as it is not a fix.  Anyone else seeing this?
 
 
Now my frustrations are surmounting.. +265 = 1.343v, and +270 = 1.39... What?  Why.. That is the only change I am making. Can anyone help with this?

Is the voltage offset not adding up on the BIOS side? Or is this in Windows? Perhaps you know this already, but since you are @4.5Ghz have you turned Vdroop off? I have the same chip with the Classified board, and 4.5Ghz is about all I can get out of it, and I need about 1.380V to do it. I am sure there are other settings you can play with and start dropping the voltage and testing stability. Perhaps the RING voltage others mention can help stabilize the OC. As far as the offset, I am also confused. I had played with that a bit, and realized it jumped around on me a bit. You would think BASE + Offset voltage would add up and be correct. Perhaps there is another variable in the mix?

I am not sure. I have spent the past week fighting. The classified is getting returned to Amazon when it arrives, the micro dropped a DIMM slot and will go back to RMA, and I am moving on to a different brand that is publicly attempting to help the people who have invested. EVGA's lack of help and acknowledgement of what is going on is enough to stop me from wasting more time and money on these boards.

I'm getting the same processor and motherboard series. It is very interesting because I have seen really good numbers in overclock especially in liquid cooling. My concern is if you overclock by adding the multiplier, and the bus and you get sweat high clocks but your GPU clock that you had goes crazy, it messes up, and just awful; what do you do?
