xpower

seems thats the problem and is difficult to fix with normal soldring if traces or ic are blown

this happened to one of my 3930k C2 also. really can't say why these chip do this even though vtt,vccsa not that high..... any findings ?

can you check if it hold the default turbo frequency with avx load?

nice finishing.

Slow mode more to board dependent then cpu. Try asus board and see what it gives

OCP kick in for very same reason. might burn mosfets or thin power cables. really good for testing psu quality

Thats I actually wanted to hear

Is defenatly the mobo that limitin. Try to loose timings for +2600mhz but I doubt it will boot....

This is overkill for modern cpus but hobby is like girlfriend can't overcome.

Is this diff at idle or load? ur load vcore is all matter

set ur LLC accordingly if that helps

Must Just follow that might be easy and quick. Check ur cooling.....etc. most hardware are not equally built especially cpu. You might need diff adjustments.

done

Increment Vccsa and see if ram gets stable Still suspect v core though It might be unstable uncore High temps can be lid weak contect with die Leave all those ram volts just focus on vdimms

Just run ram at its native and clock cpu as high it can go. Once cpu is stable then tuch ram. You won't be determine where the instability. Seems low v core to me.... but further test with prime at least 3 hours. Keep post results
