So on a whim decided to test some BBSE under LN2 as I have never had good results with BBSE under LN2.
pro tips for the community:
Vccio and vccsa must be tuned perfectly (per Crusty) in my case 1.104 vccio and 1.153 vccsa
Vttdr at auto on this kit is fine (0.764 is auto setting on OC Formula, thanks again Crusty). On my other kits 0.85v on air is fine for 2600 8-11-7 so go figure
Clocking on air means nothing for BBSE as this kit would not even post at 2600 c8 at any volts, so all those sticks that went in the reject pile because no 2600 8-11-7 on air need to be retested under cold, making binning BBSE that much more fun:)
Look for extra hot running ic's, (totally a hunch) but this kit was running so hot on air, I thought my k probe was broken or out of calibration, and hence decided to vas them and try them under cold.
The final thing, your IMC must be able to handle the strain induced by BBSE. I could boot from bios as high as 2800 7-10-7 but absolutely no stability at anything above 2600, so pretty sure the IMC is what is holding me back.
2.1v was fine for all of the screens below. . .
Hypers have nothing on good BBSE
