Hi all. Having some trouble with my X99 setup. For some back story. I assembled these same parts in another spare tower back in September. After general use, OC testin, I had a stable OC. No BSODs, freezes, boot issues, ect. It ran this way for a few weekend when I had time to play :) Fast forward to now. I transferred my parts into my WC loop. I also put A VRM block onto my motherboard Asus X99 deluxe. Hardware is new. Board I mentioned, Corsair Dominator DDR 4 2800, 2 Samsung 850 Pro dives, non Raid. 2 Gtx 970s. 5820k CPU. Tested w/ Seasonic 860w PSU. Now in my WC system, using Corsair AX1200i. Other than my BD Burner, all same hard attached to board not including some extra external USB devices. Problem is not getting random bF code on cold boot( had before when adjusting oc) and random Machine Check Exemption Bsod booting 8.1 Windows. No problem before WC change. Only thing is ram may be in different slots( same 4 slots on board but sticks themselves may be in different arrangement than before. Any ideas?

Wanted to also mention that when I get into Windows(normal boot 50% of the time or so, maybe more) everything is fine. General use/browsing/streaming/gaming BF4 single & multiplayer, Dead Space , Alien Isolation all playing fine. Also can't get memtest v 6.0 to run. Haven't tried memtest86+ because I wanted to try new version with ddr4 support. Uefi version seems to get stuck initializing on read SPD info or accessing memory controller info., non uefi version boots fine but not sure if its a good test as its not the ddr4 version. Any other good memory testing programs to try?

Thanks for the info, plaintuts :) I'll have to wait until the weekend to try again though, busy now. I didn't really think of PSU being a cause to much before. I was hoping to get my OC settings complete before integration. Looks like I'll be starting all over. It makes sense what you saying though, even though the voltages themselves are "set" to a specific number in the UEFI, there would be fluctuations/variations in voltage on different loads being a completely different power supply. Running @ stock again since this past Saturday. I did have my VCCSA tuned at .98V for running at 2666 on my DDR4. 1.0v and higher would result in the bF and bd code on cold/warm boots every few boots or so. Auto set itself to 1.15V for 2666. But again as you pointed out, even though that's what I set in UEFI, my Corsair PSU's actual voltage likely isn't going to be the same as the output from my Seasonic. Yet another reason I like to post on here to get a second opinion or get a fresh idea I didn't think of. BTW, if this turns out to be the case, I'll surely pick yours as the best solution.
