Raised the Graphics OC some more.....
 

Just posted on Natemans x99 block announcement... I am ordering tonight :-) old systems (minus the big GPUs) will be on the chopping block soon.

Anyway, Getting Back to the Benching Results so far, It appears I can OC the CPU with a lower Vcore with the Memory running at Default speed better than I can on the XMP settings which doesn't seem right somehow.

 
My guess is perhaps XMP needs some fixing in the MB bios. Which would mean setting all XMP settings manually, like that hasn't happened before.
Or maybe the XMP settings are bad (I doubt it) or maybe there is a voltage that is too high/low for your CPU that XMP sets.
Just my .02. GET IT COLDER ALREADY!
 
 

Order complete. Now to have minimal patience for the equipment to arrive.

Thanks for the Info awalleyeguy, More than likely some fine-tuning using manual adjustments have to be made for the Memory in the BIOS.

LOL!, ATM I am running Tests and Benchmarks starting with ambient temp Water Cooling and gradually turning the water temps lower on the Chiller to make sure No unforseen problems arise and once I'm satisfied, I'll tear down the MB and do my Preps for Phase Change Cooling Next!

I'm waiting to see how the X99 blocks that Nate is working on turn out also before I decide if I can use them with my Phase Change installed.
The Idea of the Inlet and Outlet coming up between the Graphics Cards has me kind of concerned since I use 1/2" tubing with SS Hose clamps connections and the clamps could possibly come in contact with the back of the Graphics Card PCB, But We'll have to wait and see.

Seems like it Always takes too long when you are waiting for New Components to arrive!



 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I have patience. I am moving in 6 months anyway, and will be looking to completely break everything down for the move, and shipping the main parts myself, so that I don't have to trust the movers.

From my experience, this i would somewhat expect.  XMP is designed for basic users who set it and forget it.  I can get better numbers when I do things manually, frequently a bit less voltage, when clocking regardless of board chipset or manufacturer I go manual not XMP.  Maybe it is my personally methodology that lends well to this, but, I can usually do higher clocks with less voltage.
 
And yes, I agree with awalleyeguy.... MUST-GET-COLDER!!

 I go manual also.

I Planned on more Testing this morning, But Today turned out to be a busy day and unfortunately Not for doing any System Testing/Benching!
 
I HAD to get some real groceries (No, Not C-Rations!) , Go to my Doctor for a Physical, and then found out I had to tear down my Honda home emergency generator set (what a Pain that was!) because the starter went bad and of course no one had a replacement. I eventually found and ordered a new one, But I have to wait a week or so for it to be delivered.
 
Then my neighbors called and asked me for some help assembling/installing/setting up some components for Their New Computer System they just bought, Which BTW I am still working on, So eventually I should be getting back to "relaxing?" and working on my X99 Rig again if nothing else happens in the meantime...........
