Hello,
i bought a rampage v recently, with a 5930k, using with 2x 970 strix, cooled with one dedicated loop for cpu 420mm radator, d5 glass pump/reservoir and ek supremacy evo waterblock with noctua ppc industrial 2000rpm ip67 fans, with an ax1500i psu and a 950 pro ssd for system and many more devices connected.
So, to start the problems i was having, bought like a noob coming from ddr3, some corsair lpx ram and had problems with them so i returned them after seeing they are not under any qvl, so bought some ram that is under corsair's qvl at least.
Question list: 😄
1. Bought corsair dominator 32gb quad channel kit 3000mhz cl15 CMD32GX4M4B3000C15, and still after setting xmp, the only thing that it sets is the frequency of ram, bclk and cpu strap plus multiplier of cache and cpu, wouldn't it need to complete the fields of timings? is this normal behavior for any ram kit?
2. Is it normal with xmp by default my system not to boot? i can boot and works perfectly if i set bclk and cpu strap back to 100, under 125 not working, even with all the rest bios settings default, tried any combination anyways.
3. The ram voltage remains on auto no matter what and under auto the voltage is at 1.4v, is this normal? if i manually set it to 1.35 can't complete on superpi for example.
4. I want to overclock the cpu as well, as i am gaming allot too, not only working, and i got 4.1ghz at 1.1 cpu voltage, is this ok? and my target is a 4.2-4.3ghz and @4ghz for cache but keeping the voltages as low as possible so i don't get over 50 degrees, as i keep my pump at 2000-2500rpm and at 800-1000 rpm the fans so it's inaudible and want a literally cool pc. Do you have any suggestions for the cache voltage to be stable at 4ghz and usual lowest voltage for cpu for 5930k ?
5. If i set manual timings on the ram, spd data read with the uefi bios, and written directly in bios settings, except the main timings if i change anything can't boot and i get error no ram the one beep pause and 3 beeps alert. Is this normal, am i forgetting anything or doing anything wrong?
6. On aida cpu package is around 10 degrees higher that any other software of it's kind, hwmonitor for example shows correctly, but i like aida for the rest of the features, do you know about this, is it a hardware defect or just a bug of how it connects or read the data from the sensors?
7. On 8k video playback i get stutters and lost frames, is this normal or is something wrong? With the same components on a 4790k on maximus vii formula i had no problems like this.
8. On windows 10 boot, i have some pauses where the animation wheel just stops spinning and it does this 2 or 3 times for a couple of seconds each time before entering windows, is this normal too or again anything not working correctly?
9. Shouldn't asus rog boards have ultra fast boot? never managed to get it to work, does anyone know how? of course uefi install and all the classical stuff, i mean,a anything else...
10. Do you think if i put a second quad channel kit identical with the first one will have that many more problems?
I have even changed all settings, multiple ssd drives tested, multiple windows installs, reflashed bios, changed gpu's with others, removed one, tested with the ram sticks one by one and adding one more every time to test.
Thank you everyone! 🙂
