Hey there!
 
Why is Core Ratio Overclocking not working on my Dark?

7960X Stock - EIST, C-States everything is fine.
 
I want to Set the 2 Core Max Boost to 4,8, 4 Core to 4,5 and so on but as soon as i switch it in Bios or Eleet C-States get reduced to the Min and Max Value (1200MHz and 4500MHz)
 
And when Using Blender oder Cinebench all Cores stick to their maximum Values.
 
Tried Bios 1.07 and 1.17

Am I doin smth wrong here?

Just tried disabling the C-States.

With 1 or 2 Core Loads the CPU doesnt come up to my set value for 2 Cores 4,5GHz but sticks to the lowest all Core Setting of 4Ghz.

And with allcores under load the first 2 go up to 4,6, two up to 4,5 and the rest to 4Ghz.
 
Shouldt be like that imo.

Can´t sorry, im @Work atm. (0600 here in Germany)

Same Bios page as you show.
 
Auto is fine - just not an overclocking option
The Mode you show doesnt want to work.
 
Shouldnt it be this way?
 
2 Core Ratio Limit 45 (2 Cores, not set wich ones, go up to 4,5Ghz)
4 Core Ratio Limit 43 (4 Cores, not set wich, go up to 4,3Ghz and none up to 4,5Ghz)
8 Core Ratio Limit 40 (8 Cores go up, but not higher than 4Ghz)
12 Core Ratio Limit 36 (all Cores go up to a maximum of 3,6Ghz)

Still waiting for your Bios Images.

Disable C-States under the CPU Settings.
 If you want Per Core then you also may want to change your Bios Settings to PerCore.
This is why I wanted to see your Bios Settings.

 If you want Per Core then you will need to set the Bios to Per Core.

I dont want that! :)

For Gaming I want 4,8GHz for up to 4 cores jumping around between the Cores.
For Gaming/Streaming 8 Cores on 4,5GHz jumping around would be nice.
And for work i want all 16Cores Humming along at 4Ghz, maybe 4,2Ghz.
 
Your Shown per Core Setting will set every single Core to your wantet ratio and stick to that, no matter what.
 
I really apprieciate your help, but so far nothing i tried is helping.
 
Im even thinking about killing my system and setting up a fresh windows.

I was going by your Topic Title "CPU per Core Ratio Overcklocking X299 Dark"
Have you updated the Chipset Drivers?
Intel® Chipset Driver for Windows Version: 10.1.17969.8134 (Latest)  
 
Maybe you are thinking about Turbo Boost 3.0, Myself I do not recommend using it.
It is NOT the same as Turbo Boost 2.0 and is Software Driven.
See Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 added Intel® Core™ i9-9820X/i9-99x0XE Still No 1809 Support
 Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 Frequently Asked Questions.  Release Notes (pdf)

I tried with and without Turbo Boost 3.0.
Atm im running without.
I think im running the latest drivers, but i can check that in the evening.
 
@GGTV-Jon

Its not just heat, its bugging me that there is an overcloking mode on the dark that isnt working properly.

Maybe i can try to run the CPU on another Board to check/confirm if its a bug or every other X299 Board is behaving in the same manor.
 

What are you using for a cooling solution?

"All other cores stay unter 85°C easily." This seems Very High under a Custom Water Loop.
What are you using for a Water Pump?

Temperatures are not my problem. :-)
I will get to tuning my voltages when the board is doing what I want or when I say **** it and go for maximum oc. :)

But what does that matter for my problem?

Because it is Cool Looking.

Reason I asked is because you thought your solution would eventually get saturated under extended loads. You had not stated what you were using and I wanted to make sure it wasn't an AIO.

My thoughts are that if avx offset doesn't get you the desired performance / temps and you cannot get it set with a per core setting then find a speed low enough that will.

What I am trying to say is not coming out correctly. Bottom line I think what you are expecting / trying to do is not how the system was designed to work.

If you have stable clock's but over time thermals get out of hand either lower the clocks or get more radiator surface area. This dicking around with raising and lowering a percore clock on the fly to try and mitigate a thermal issue is just 🤨

Which two OC settings? You mean manual ratio limit all cores and manual ratio limit per core?
 
Looking your above post setting an all core overclock with and AVX offset of 3 which will limit the core clocks to 4.5 GHZ you should be fine, maybe even bump that too an 4 off set to limit it to 4.4GHZ - your temps should be fine.
 
When I had posted above (post #25) I had not seen you post "Mora 360, 7960X delidded and direct-die cooled with a HKIVPro.". That is more then plenty for radiator space. But if you look at the actual build / construction of that radiator it is actually not the best build design compared to how most radiators are built with end tanks and only gets by on the sheer size. The construction design they used is what is found in air conditioning condensers which generally run at 100psi plus with a liquid / vapor and not a full liquid
 
I went with an 7940x, bcavnaugh has used them quite a bit as well. I felt it gave the best core performance versus heat output manageability.
 
Here is a chart that shows core turbo speeds across the cores when running a stock configuration
 
 
 
 
 
Just so you know where I am coming from in rearguards to this stuff check out my thread - https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2829994

Do you run any AVX or AVX2(512) Applications? If not then it matters not what they are set to in the Bios.
Have you opened a Service Ticket asking EVGA for Direct Support with your Motherboard?
