help me get my 990x to 4.6GHz stable on Sabertooth x58

horatio b · Aug 18, 2016

I am at 4.4GHz stable. I cant for the life of me get to 4.6GHz. If I cant get it to 4.6GHz then I'll just get ZEN when it launches but if I can get it to 4.6 then I wont spend the money.

CPU: 990x
KULR: Corsair H100i V2
MB: Sabertooth x58
RAM: 24GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
GPU: 2 x R9 290

Any help with voltages and where to apply those voltages? What MB Features to disable and enable? Thanks a million.

I doubt Zen will be an upgrade from that processor more likely a lateral move. Or minor upgrade. 4.4 is a pretty solid speed on that chip not all will run 4.6 you do realize that'll be a less than 5% increase even if you do get it?

Supahos :

call me crazy but i would feel so much better seeing that extra measly 200MHz Also it looks like Zen is tied with Broadwell-E clock for clock... however we have to wait to see the overclocking headroom.

Id be skeptical of one leaked benchmark that would have been blatantly geared towards the processor being shown off. Would be awesome if they got back in the game. Hope 3ghz isn't the final clockspeed though

Sorry, but could you post the exact FX cpu model you have Horatio.

Could you also confirm that the board is running a Amd 990 FX chip set.

And could you post what the current cpu core voltage is set to for 4.4 Ghz.

And also by looking in the bios what the voltage is reported for the Ram sticks.
And the tempreture of the cpu at Idle, and when a load is put on the cpu like with prime 95.

Also need to know what the current HT speed is, and also the NB frequency for the memory.

PM me with the reading and values Horatio by all means.

It a first gen Intel core processor not an amd chip

Ah ok, Amd I know everything to do with OC.

Intel, somebody else could point you in the right direction to try and get it up to 4.6Ghz for you, with a few hint`s and tips
Horatio.

Sorry I could not help.
