Strat Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Hi folks, Sharing is caring right? Z170A Xpower is very strong on mem, at least on Hynix MFR/AFR (no other kit in my hand). Efficiency is right where it should be. First of all (as usual) : - Find the good temp for your mem. I can run -180° on mine but the best temp is -100°, this is where I can achieve 1830MHz 10-15-15-28-278 and 1870MHz 10-16-16-278 - Find the right amount of volt. Mine do not like more than 1.85v Then you can try the set of timings I found, it is not perfect, but seems to be a good base : With these settings and auto RTL/IO I get 44/45 5/5, sometimes 44/46 5/6. I did a quick try at 5Ghz, this is what I got : Full out run (i know my CPU is very bad ) : Feedback is welcome! :celebration: Edited September 5, 2015 by Strat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Nice of you to share! The msi board does seem nice. How about RTL and IOL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strat Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 I forgot to mention that part, I edited the first post. With these settings and auto RTL/IO I get 44/45 5/5, sometimes 44/46 5/6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rauf Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I like the MB, thinking about getting one. But I see you are using special bios (T0P) and it does not seem to be available anywhere. Anyone willing to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Cas 10.... just... wow... I need to see some 32m action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strat Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 32m is slow with Skylake... No motivation to try it yet. Maybe later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 My board will arrive today Hope Pepi can share bios and tools soon By the way Strat, no issues overclocking quad kits for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strat Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 No issue at all, but as you can see on Hwbot, 2 dimm on cold is way better than 4 dimm on air (even on cold because of the low overclocking margin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 You are very fast to reply! I meant about the spd for quad kits giving problem overclocking on z170. Have seen reported that two mems from a quad kit overclocks worse on z170 than four the same mems on x99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strat Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Tapatalk notification I haven't seen that kind of issue.
