I've always wondered why every time I tried to overclock with Ai suite on my x99 platform it would be horribly unstable. I mean I don't understand it's a simple overclock it always gives you more than enough cpu vcore to run at whatever it decides to put you at. So now that I have my system stable with my own settings I'm comparing them to Ai suites settings and the only real difference voltage wise is System Agent voltage. Ai Suite uses xmp 3000@3.5v but it sets the ram to run at 2400 @ 1.35v that right there is insane but at the same time it sets the system agent voltage to auto @ 1.216 at least on my board which is insane. If I do a manual overclock at 4.5 and use the 3000 memory guide on this forum I found that I need a setting of 1.03 which is actually 1.04 once I start stress testing. either way 1.216 is way to much with my ram and makes my system very unstable. Is it just my system that sets the system agent to 1.216 or is that the default voltage that asus uses when you select xmp profiles? So to sum it all up if I use the default auto voltage for system agent of 1.216 no matter what I do in the bios the system always ends up being unstable. Maybe I'm way off here but I'm going to have to let Ai suite do it's thing again and then just change the system agent voltage to what I need and see if that fixes all its craziness.
