Ok many things to talk about but here's to start. Rig specs are in sig.
settings below are from my 4.7 stable
GIGABYTE Z170X GAMING 7.
F7D bios
1.35vcore
dram voltage 1.3v
idle temp 30-32c
load 60-65c, 69max
Specification Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz
Core Speed 4708.5 MHz
Multiplier x Bus Speed 27.0 x 174.4 MHz
4x4GB G. SKILLS RIPJAWS V 2133 F4-2400C15C-4GVR
Memory Size 16 GBytes
Channels Dual
Memory Frequency 1395.2 MHz (1:12)
CAS# latency (CL) 18.0
RAS# to CAS# delay (tRCD) 18
RAS# Precharge (tRP) 18
Cycle Time (tRAS) 41
Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC) 362
Command Rate (CR) 2T
since i got the new mobo ive been working on overclocking it past the 4.6ghz that i had on my previous mobo.
first thing is that i noticed is when i shut down the system and reboot, it puts me into a high fan speed mode with blank screens.
no code shown but both the ECO and OC comes up steady.
i reboot and code 19 comes up.
i clear cmos and boots fine with my bios settings.
i feel like i skip a small step somewhere.
sorta feels like when i shut down, nothing gets stored.
when i restart from successful boot it reboots fine....
so something to do with shutting the system down completely doesnt allow me to boot up on first try.
i want to figure this out first before i start doing more overclocking.
second thing... is about the ram.
i just like to be put in the right direction, maybe i should slow the ram down? its 28xxmhz so im thinking its beyond what i should put it. or relax it more? just some input on that when relating to cpu increasing past 4.6. ive been messing with it for a bit and not very consistent on results.ive set the voltage to 1.3 and to 1.34 to see the difference.
ive tried to do 4.75 and 4.8ghz. my pc boots and seems normal. i ran prime 95 a few times and it freezes a few times and had bsod twice. when i reboot, the bios settings stayed the same. and just booted as if nothing happened.
with prime failing, i decided to test in game. i played forza and bf1 for a few mins. runs fine.
*oh forgot to add. ive seen ppl change CR 2T to CR 1T, what's the significance of this?
ill be going to try bumping it up shortly. just like some opinions before i do that, sometimes i get lost after doing this for so long...
thx
*also forgot to mention i had this code pop up once:
B7- reconfigure NVRAM settings
