AMD Turbo Core Technology Problem

[Zabraxis]

Hello guys!

I seem to be having a problem with AMD Turbo Core Technology. I'm running the FX 9590 CPU on the Crosshair V Formula-Z motherboard. When I enable the XMP profile on my ram the CPU ratio is changed from auto to 23.5. Once I run anything that puts a small amount of load I got a blue screen with the error CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. I tried to manually enter all of the ram timings with the same results. I tried 2 different types of memory with the same results as well. After a couple of days working on this I find if I disabled AMD Turbo Core Technology the error went away. I upgraded my PSU as well to make sure I had sufficient enough power.What could be causing this issue?

According to Wikipedia the FX 9590 and 9370 should have 2400MHz as default CPU/NB frequency. Funny enough though I could not find any information regarding CPU/NB speeds on the AMD website and all the reviews I've seen did not even bother to check...
In the end 2200 is fine for stability, anything above should give a little more performance.

Thank you elesde I searched for that information for the past few days. I got one more question for you. Would this memory kit work fine on the Crosshair V Formula-Z?

I did see why it wouldn't. My Tridents have slightly higher timings. This is what I run daily.

Thanks Chris635 I was wondering about the timings on the modules I linked. I don't know much about timings but I have a basic understanding that lower numbers means faster timings. Is that correct?

Yes. Faster latency response. Looks like it's a good set.

Great thanks I think I'll purchase this set soon.

Yep as the others said that set should work fine, just keep in mind the CPU/NB frequency has to be equal or higher than the RAM speed.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different settings, as long as you keep sane voltage levels it is very hard to break anything 😄

Thanks elesde I've never messed with voltages. I don't know much about overclocking, just some of the basics.
