OK ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is my SS. I believe that there is noone in our community that does not know the KING builder of SS, Cascade and water chillers units. @nachtfalke @KaRtA Maybe you understand now how I can go high with relatively low voltages. If you read the manufacturer's description, you will understand. This unit folks idles at -67 and never goes above -58 whatever I throw at it. Still to be tested with my I9-7960X and I9-7980XE processors. To the guy who asked, no, none of my very high binned cpu's are for sale. I believe that this concludes an interesting thread. Thank you all for your kind words and input.

Thanks mate This outstanding cpu was sold to me ( with 30 minutes of operation only ) from the outstanding gentleman and personal friend @aerotracks 5.9ghz was extremely easy with 1.53V only, without temps even turning positive on any core. I think 6ghz is within reach with around 1.60-1.61V. Will revisit soon Best regards

Sam, Of course I have no idea or solution to provide. The reason I am posting is that I have an Asus Apex VI ( X299 ) - retired for 3 months now - that behaves exactly the same. Lights turn on, other times it boots, other times it boots and shuts down in 5-10 minutes, and other times it does not even start. Tested with 10 different PSU's. Took it to a local electronics lab ( best there is locally ). The guy who owns the lab went nuts for 3 days. Result - NO CLUE. So, I decided ( as Michael did ) to hang it to my wife's Christmas cactus, to remind me that we pay an arm and a leg for HW, that may decide on their own WHEN AND HOW to function. Merry Christmas to all

Great job brother :)

Depends on the wife AND how a MAN handles his wife.

Heyo brother Receiving tomorrow my brand new Apex X and an Asus Rampage VI Extreme Edition. Will use my immaculate Apex VI for Kaby-X. Logical or not, I FINALLY want to bench these little suckers under my super strong SS. To be followed by a superb I7-8700K and an I9-9900K ( 5.2 on water ) that I still have in their boxes ( both courtesy of my good friend @aerotracks ). Might also check out my Apex IX if it is better with coffee. But, as you very well know me bro, I am a stubborn MULE - lol, lol, lol. I HAVE TO BENCH the little suckers first. Why ? Just because... And the X299 OCF certainly did not help My very best to you Thanks brother.

Probably yes, but on the other hand, how can you explain that same cpu's installed on Asus Apex VI perform flawlessly - 7740x - 6ghz 7640X - 6.2ghz Enter Turbo Vcore application, adjust Vcore only, adjust speed respectively - apply and bench. Finish, reboot and all over again and again and again for hours ( way of speaking ). No issue at all - NONE. So, I can't really see - EOL or not - how Kabylake-X works like a charm on one brand of boards and fails another. TBH, I do not have the time or the mood or the extended knowledge to pin down the issue ( if any ). I prefer to sell ( even with a loss ) and move on

First upfront Thank you all for all the effort to help me. I sincerely feel extremely obliged. Tried also bios 1.18. Same. So, I think I am done. Board is getting off the benchtable, will be cleaned thoroughly and back to its box. Most probably it will be sold on eBay. What a huge shame. I am 110% sure that it is an isolated case - the board is magnificent - mem handling superb, BUT this multiplier issue is a big problem. AGAIN, thank you all for spending precious time for me. You guys rock

Of course from scratch. I never-ever use preset profiles - in any motherboard. Not even mem profiles.

Leaving aside the usual voltages, I tried in bios cpu and pch pll voltages up to 1.40 and cpu standy voltage from auto ( 1.30 ) to 1.45. No difference whatsoever.

Two ssd's. Clean installations. W7X64 and W10X64. So I suppose OS is excluded from the "thriller". AFD, tried 4 versions. Same all. Two very good cpu's and numerous ram sets ( I know, irrelevant ). PSU Corsair AX1600i - brand new. Starting to get that "itch" in my belly that something is wrong with the board - unfortunately

Thanks man Last shot. Getting a bit tired here, lol

I do not have bios 1.18. And it is not listed in AsRock site. But I tried 1.10 and 1.20
