overclocking failed on deluxe ii

[mjohnson24]

i have the Asus x99 Deluxe ii Mobo, (4) 16gb sticks of Gskill Trident Z 3200mhz ram, Evga 1200w P2 PSU, Intel i7 6900k, EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Gaming ACX 3.0, Samsung EVO 950 Pro M.2. I have recently just last night updated the PSU from an 850 watt to an EVGA 1200w P2. This one has the ability to use the 8 pin power and 4 pin power as the previous PSU didnt. Now that i got it all installed last night, for somereason when i booted it only said i had 32gbs of ram when i actually had 64. Got that to read correctly now but my ram is the 3200mhz ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232328 ). Its on the QVL list for Asus so thats good. I think it has something to do with something being overclocked or something but i dont know what. it worked fine before with my 850watt.

I have XMP switch turned on on the Mobo and in the bios i think i switched it to auto or something to get it to actually boot normally. But bios reads it as 2133 not 3200 like it should i think.

Now i also have the Corsair h100i gtx cpu cooler and when i booted my PC it said something about fan speed to low or check fan speed so to fix that i had to go to bios and go to monitor tab and set "CPU Fan Speed" to ignore so i wouldnt get that error and it would boot as well.

Can someone help me with steps to what i need to do to fix these issues. Also if you know of any bios changes that needs to happen for M.2 samsung 950 pro evo that needs to be changed let me know. Its booting and working fine so far but not sure if theres anything that needs to be changed in the bios.

Yeah the phanteks ethnoo is a great case for water cooling and there are different versions of the ethnoo series.

If you want the best of the best in pc cases Caselabs is it and they cost more than the average pc case, they are customizable and you can get a pedestal for most of their cases.

The pc I showed you of the monarch ram blocks is the mercury S8, the motherboard mounts horizontally in that case.

Yea i've seen people use those cases. Those are really cool. Ill have to check out some detailed pics of some configs using that case or some of the others. They are expensive though. But I just didnt want one that would be too heavy that i couldnt carry it allthough getting one of those little dolly things people use to roll their luggage around wouldnt be too bad to hall it to lan parties and plus id be the envy at lan parties lol.

LOL you sure would, yeah you can get casters for the pedestal. Their cases are made out of heavy duty aluminum so they shouldn't be too heavy.

Are you home working on your ram?

lol yea id have to get casters for sure. Hopefully it wouldnt be too heavy. My HAF932 advanced amd edition is pretty heavy as it is. It has casters on it.


Yea im uninstalling the Aisuite program right now.

I do see in the bios that the syem agent voltage looks to be running at around 1.368v total i think it is.

[Nate152]

Great, let me know what happens when you set the BCLK back to 100.00 and set the ram to 3200MHz.

You can double check the timings in Dram Timing Control to make sure they're correct.

Well i uninstalled aisuite and reset bios back to default and tried the exact settings in that video and it didnt boot. So i powered it off and back on and tried other settings and so far it didnt work yet. Tried setting it to the settings that u mentioned.

AI overclock tuner: Manaul
cpu strap: 100
blck: 100
Sync all cores
cpu core ratio: 40
min and max cpu cache ratio default: 31
dram freq: 3200
cpu core voltage default: auto at 1.032v
system agent voltage: .888v with an offset of .362v
Dram voltage: 1.32v
VCCIO CPU and PCH: 1.1 ( if i go any higher the numbers go red.

So i set things back to default. I did a ez wizard and restarted and it would boot then so i booted it into bios and none of the voltages were changed so i guess they change in the background. Not sure if the bios would show what the voltages are set at or not but it set the cpu clock ration to 42, blck to 102 and the ram to i think it was 2400.


So i set it all back to default and set the dram frequency to 2800 and the cpu clock ratio for all cores to 42 as well and it booted. Seems the cpu clock according to cpuid will run at 4200mhz max which is what it should be and the ram is at 2800mhz so far.

Ran Aida64 system stability test and it seems to be running at around 55-62c even though i only ran it for a couple minutes. Prime 95 got it between 63 - 76c sometimes to 79 but for a second.

Ok don't take any voltages into the red, yellow and purple are ok.

The Dram voltage should be set to 1.35v but try bumping it up to 1.40v and see if it goes, if it doesn't go, try the Dram voltage at 1.45v.

Fingers crossed it goes. 🙂

Let me know.

Well according to the voltage readings next to each item the dram volts is around 1.36 - 1.37.
CPU core voltage: 1.057
System agent: 1.304
VCCIO CPU: 1.224
VCCIO pch: 1.050

Thats what according to the fields u mentioned to change in the past that the wizard set things to it looks like.

Let me know.

So, I changed the DRAM voltage only to 1.4v and it booted but the voltage was purple. I rebooted and changed it to 1.36 and it booted and the voltage was in yellow. Not sure what the different colors mean other than red means danger usually but not sure yellow or purple etc.


now i guess to run the stability test with aida64. I know prime 95 it will be high temps up to like 78 or 79c but ill check aida again and see.

I know amd overdrive will let you know what your threshold is but it only works with amd i think is there one for intel as well?

Weird thing with Aida64 is if i run stability test on CPU it runs fine but if i run it with memory test selected on system stability test it stops responding. The program does not computer. I can crash Aida64 forcefully and restart it no issues though.
