ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 Overclocking Guide 6950X 6900K 6800K 6850K Review Broadwell-E

[@rbrads13]

Brilliant!! Thank you, this is exactly the video I needed. Finally some real information I can use with my first build using this Mother Board with the 6800k.

[@Canal2Playerz]

I just have to say: Thank you very much! After some days studying to do my overclock, your video was really the most importante thing for me to get started at the right path. Thank you! Keep the good work!

[@alaindesjardins]

I was having a lot of problems with booting and finally isolated it that my 3200mhz rated memory needed to run a bit slower to accommodate the overclock. Hoping this helps anyone trying to figure this out and extract as much as they can from their aging system.

[@marty34534]

Awesome video; very clear; easy to understand. I learnt so much from this video. For a long time I was too scared to change any settings in the BIOS but your video gave me confidence. Thanks! +1

[@limpanskok]

Tillbaka här 2024 Ska testa att klocka min 6950X 👍👍👊👊🍺🍺🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@xmaxkp181]

x99 is back from the dead and i love it

[@michaelengin]

The first interesting tutorial about OC. Thanks mate, you helped me a lot!

[@rightrightman3179]

Really great overclock video. I'm going to attempt this with the same rig next week. I've subscribed and look forward to more videos like this. Thanks for what you do for us PC freaks!

[@claudiupoenaru5288]

I followed your guide and clocked my 6850k to 4.2 , 1.2v . Thank you for showing us how to.

[@Canal2Playerz]

After some time studying overclock and watching this video I could achieve 4.4ghz on the 6950x at 1.351v with an avx offset of 4. Very good vídeo. Thank you!

[@kountheaim]

Hello... were you using the same motherboard as shown in this video?

[@Canal2Playerz]

@@kountheaim Yes, I was :)

[@kountheaim]

@@Canal2Playerz Thank you. I have just got the same motherboard and a 6950x from eBay. I will try same configuration.

[@Canal2Playerz]

@@kountheaim Note that, even having the same motherboard and processor, the results might be different because each peace of silicon have it limits. Your processor might achieve the same or even better configurations with lower temperatures, or not. The important thing to do is try with a lower clock and stress the computer and check your temperatures. Then work your way up until you hit temperatures as high as you would like to go. You always need to check if the overclock is stable too. It is not easy, but after some testing and studying, you can get there. Just be careful, you can burn your processor if not done right. I burned a 6950x once. :X

[@kountheaim]

@@Canal2Playerz Thank you very much for your kind advice. I will be careful. By the way, what kind of cooler did you use with this system?

[@dab7963]

A little voltage seems to go a very long way. I increased my VCORE to only 1.21 and its now running for 1 hour at a temp of 84C and is now set to 4.2mHZ. I am very happy. Don't think I will push this any further. I also set a -3 for the more intense avx which I will test next but I am happy that I finally hit 4.2 and the temp at 100% load is no more than 84 and appears stable.

[@thatvo9324]

Hey man thanks! I followed your instruction and it's fine. Subscribed. Currently running on 6850K, just bought 6950X awaiting that. :D

It well worked for me on Rampage V Edition 10 + 6950x + Corsair Vengeance Red Lpx 3200mhz 8x8gb 🧐 you rock 🤘

[@joseph_procopio]

Amazing guide! Der8auer, question: what would be the settings that would need to be adjusted to allow for a 4.2GHz overclock? I am currently using the same exact hardware configuration and settings (Intel Core i7-6950X Processor @ 4.0GHz, Corsair Vengeance LED (128 GB) @ 3200MHz and Asus ROG RAMPAGE V EDITION 10)! Thank you in advance!

[@DaedalEVE]

My Rampage V Edition 10 and 6900k should be here tomorrow.

[@Dawg99999]

nice....what RAM you using

[@DaedalEVE]

lexustheimpaler Most likely something from G.Skill, I just haven't decided on what speed. I just ordered two EVGA GTX 1080 SC's which don't arrive at the warehouse until tomorrow (6-22-16), so I have time to make up my mind.

[@GuranTBH]

Where did you order it from?

[@DaedalEVE]

GuranTBH The 6900K was from B&H Photo, the RAMPAGE V EDITION 10 is from NewEgg, and I ordered the GTX 1080's from ShopBLT.

[@thabehar002]

Contemplating between 6900 vs 6950, also i am running a two 1080s, But why did you choose the 6900 over the 6950?

[@jaimem1788]

All motherboards should come without I/O shield separate nowadays, biggest pain when putting together a new PC! Great and informative video. First time I heard of the new Intel AVX settings. I"m guessing all them cores making it run warm compared to my older 4930K Ivy-e 6 core even though it's only 14nm and should run cooler. Even under load haven't seen my CPU go over 60 and usually stays in 30's. Looks like a sweet and solid mobo but expect nothing less from an Asus Rampage board;that's all I've been using for years for solid overclocks!

[@xlcr8518]

thank you de8bauer great overclocking guide.

[@der8auer]

for videos like this I'm using a R7 250 which is passive cooled. Just to avoid sound while recording :)

[@nevets8448]

Hey amazing video I am considering buying both the motherboard and Intel chip set in the next month, I did have a couple of questions maybe you could help me out. 1. What case would you recommend? 2. What would be the top power supply to use with this set? 3. What would be a top Fan to maintain good temperatures? 4. Can this motherboard can handle more multiple video card like the PNY GeForce GTX 1080? 5. I'm planing on getting G.SKILL TridentZ Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 would the overclocking process be the same? Thanks again for this great information.

[@der8auer]

Hey :) 1. case not sure. That's more a thing of personal preference. I like most phanteks, in win and lian li cases. 2. Power supplies: Super Flower, Corsair, Seasonic. Total power depends on the rest of the components. 4- Yes it can handle multiple cards without problems :) 5. Yes that's also no problem. I already used 8x16 GB on this board and could load XMP without problems (3000 MHz)

[@Cactuspractice12]

Thanks. A really great video, very thorough. One question though, you said that temps shouldn't go about 95 on full load on the stress test, but other forums have indicated 60-70 is the ideal temps..who's correct?

[@philindeblanc]

Higher temp = shorter cpu life. you choose.

[@nemo4evr]

Thanks for the time and effort on this video, planning to upgrade soon possibly to this board, never has a problem with ASUS boards, they build them like the old Nokia phone ;-) and for the CPU the 6850K witch I think is a nice compromise ( I will only have to sell one kidney instead of that and a piece of my liver) but is an upgrade for many years to come, I'm not sure about the RAM yet (unfortunately I play minecraft modded and is cpu intensive.) Cheers and thanks again from" La Canada"

[@hcorpion]

great video sir is the ROG MAXIMUS VIII EXTREME/ASSEMBLY still a faster or higher performance motherboard ?

[@KaileenFitzpatrick]

goin pretty well but i seem to be running a little hotter than you. more like 89 degrees for the 279 test. also 4.5W instead of 3.2 you were running. I have a Arctic Liquid Freezer 360 cooler.....any thoughts? seems stable at 86-89....

[@ATICrossX]

What cooling are you using for this setup? Custom water cooling? Great video as always :) EDITED: Nvm, I was still in the middle of the video when posted a comment, it's Noctua NH-D15 :)

[@chrisgonzo5274]

Hello and thank you for this great video. It has helped me a lot! Question, I bought a 4.4Ghz binned 6800k from silicon lottery. It's supposed to run @4.4Ghz using 1.35v or less. I'm currently running the exact settings in your video with 3200Mhz memory. What settings do you recommend I set to run at 4.4Ghz and even 4.5Ghz?

[@oOtrilloXtremeOo]

Hast vergessen den m.2/u.2 Port zu erwähnen, als du das Board vorgestellt hast, aber sonst ein super Video! War 4ghz das Maximum? Oder hast du noch mehr rausholen können?

[@der8auer]

nein :) Die meisten CPUs werden 4.1-4.3 GHz machen. Das Basic Setting von mir sollte aber bei jedem funktionieren und dann kann man selbst noch 1-3 Multis ausprobieren.

[@oOtrilloXtremeOo]

+der8auer okay, habe mich schon gewundert haha hast du ein paar infos (sicherer oc/Max oc usw) zum 6850K? Habe leider keine 1700€ für den 6950X übrig :D

[@sununissunis9259]

Hi, Thanks for the video. I have 6800k and asus strix x99. I have exactly same settings like you. My problem is that i can hit 4,1 ghz with no less than 1.275v. and 4,2 ghz no less than 1.35 v. I have test it with RealBench 2.43 (one hour Duration) if i put less voltage, it goes BSOD. My cooler is arctic liquid freezer 240. Temperature with 4,2ghz and 1.35v. are between 60 - 70 C with RealBench one hour stress tess. Is it safe to use 1.35v 24/7 ? Is there something to do with this or do i just have very poor processor? :(

[@dab7963]

Fantastic Video. I used your settings on my i7 6900K in a Rampage V Edition 10 Motherboard with G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB (4x8GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR4 3200. Your settings allowed me to get the full 3200 speed of my Ram and a stable OC of 4 Ghz. I did notice a few strange things. My windows 10 Pro would not blank my screen logged in after a few minutes. Also the stress tests passed but on start up a few times windows hung. I went back to default settings and the monitor power off returned to proper operation and the windows hanging stopped. It appears that overclocking (even if it passes the stress test) can cause software anomolies. Any suggestions on what I should try to make it more stable? Thanks your video was great.

[@trendashy]

hello I bot the rampage v edition 10 and Corsair Dominator Platinum Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4 DRAM 3466MHz It will work or no please ??

What's the max frequency I can go with 6800k and if the other settings can be the same? and is all informations provided by cpu-z already in task manager? Thanks for the nice video.

[@bizon19831983]

hi . I to have a asus rampage v edition 10 and intel i7 6950x .your settings for 4ghz working well , nice one mate. Do u have a recommended setting for 4.4ghz or 4.5ghz . thank you

[@Chrisabled]

Hi 8auer, wo liegt eigentlich die sichere Voltage-Obergrenze für die 6950x, um "Electromigration" und ähnliche Effekte im Zaum zu halten? Ich bekommen demnächst meine 6950x und werde dann die von Dir beschriebenen Settings probieren (allerdings auf einem X99 Strix Gaming). Danke für das interessant und hilfreiche Video! Chris

[@der8auer]

Hey Chris! Bleib unter 1.35 vCore und dann ist alles gut :) Normalerweise solltest du damit auch etwas höher kommen als im Video. Die Kühlung muss aber entsprechend gut sein?

[@Chrisabled]

+der8auer ... Du hattest ja 1.20v eingestellt. Ist das für 4GHz und einen durchschnitts- 6950x ein typischer Wert? Ich dachte, man bräuchte dafür eher so um die 1.30V. Die ganzen Einstellungen sollten ja auch auf dem Strix x99 funktionieren, oder muss ich noch etwas im Speziellen beachten?

[@der8auer]

Ich konnte bisher nur etwa 40-50 BW-E CPUs testen, aber davon hat der Großteil 4 GHz mit 1,20 Volt gemacht. Daher der Wert :) Funktioniert zu 100% auf dem Strix. Strix und R5E10 unterscheiden sich nur in ein paar features. Spannungsversorgung und BIOS sind identisch

[@Chrisabled]

+der8auer ... Super, danke für diese wertvollen Infos. CPU ist heute geliefert worden, morgen werde ich mich mal damit beschäftigen. Danke nochmals! Grüße, Chris

[@Chrisabled]

+der8auer Hi, bin jetzt dabei, Deine Settings auszuprobieren. Es scheint aber so, als ob mit diesen Einstellungen der Aida64 Streß-Test nicht sauber läuft (nutzt AVX). Crash nach etwa 10 Minuten. Was mach ich nun? Voltage hoch auf 1,3V? Bin für eine Vorschlag dankbar.

[@wwsvs]

Hello! I have a question. Your 6950x stays at the overclocked speed. Mine ramps down to 1200mhz. It will jump up to 4000mhz under load but will go back to 1200mhz when done. How did you get yours to stay at 4000mhz??? I overclocked my 3960x on my x79 machine and it stays at 4100mhz. It never moved up or down. I have had no luck with my 6950x in making it stay at the overclocked speed. THANK YOU for your help!

[@philindeblanc]

go to manual mode. Optimal or Auto will throttle the cores down.

[@florianlalignel1946]

Hi ! Nice job and thanks a lot :) I've got two questions for you please. I just buy the same motherboard but this is not the 6950x on it ... it's only the 6900k. Does it change something for overclocking ? The chip run at 1.051V on stock 3200MHz. Do you think that means this is a good chip to overclock ? Thanks a lot have a nice day.

[@DaedalEVE]

Florian Lalignel I have a 6900k and the best I could do (and be prime95 stable) is 4.4ghz @ 1.290v

[@OsuOverlord]

Vielleicht etwas spät aber ich habe das selbe Mainboard nur mit einem i7-6900k und dem Dark Rock Pro 3 als Luftkühler. Sollte ich die Exakt gleichen Einstellungen nutzen oder hast du einen perfekten Bauplan für diese CPU? (Wo es stabil läuft und für die meisten Funktioniert?) Wenn ich alles so übernehmen würde wie im Video, muss ich dann nur noch mit der Core Frequency der CPU rumspielen oder zusätzlich dann andere Einstellungen mit anpassen?

So I have almost the exact same setup. Before I adjusted anything, it was reading 1200 mhz. Once I set everything like you, it was reading 4000 mhz. I loaded up the latest version of prime95 and it dropped to 3700 and temps never got above 73. However, once I shut it down, it instantly dropped back to 1200mhz. I saw that yours jumped right back to 4000. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong. I am not an enthusiast, but need as much power as possible to shave some time off a process I am doing that is CPU intensive, and time sensitive.

[@benjaminboard9984]

Thank you very much for this video! Great information, easy to follow, and it worked perfectly except I am struggling to get my 128GB of Corsair DDR4 memory to run stable at 3200. The RAM runs great at 3000, but at 3200 it won't boot. :( I did some minor voltage increases but I am reluctant to push it too hard.

[@xmaxkp181]

i own multiple x99 boards and cpus and have seen similar issues on some of them, only in my case 3200 seems to run fine and 3000 causes a b7 code after which the system will refuse to post

Maybe it is time we upgrade our cpu, mobo, and mem to 14900k ? :-) I lost my settings on my X99-A/USB3.1 mobo, and it just needs to be faster, so here I am...before I do an upgrade. How is your rig going? (year later)

[@cuewarstaner1894]

Hi der8auer. Can you make a video for X299 overclocking? we really need that

[@Cernunn0s90]

What do you reckon the single thread performance difference is between the 4930k, and the 6850k?

[@peterpain6625]

Was that the delided one from the other video you did or is it a stock 6950X? Is 4000/3700 the ceiling you expect from air for the 10core?

[@der8auer]

no it was a normal 6950X. You can expect 4.1-4.4 with good cooling from these chips. The setting I showed is the basic setting so you can start testing more

[@peterpain6625]

Thanks. I am still not sure if i go 6900K or 6950X. May even skip again having a 3960@4700/6C running stable on water for years now. Thanks for the guide tough!

yea up to 4.4 GHz 24/7 stable. Same settings just CPU Core Ratio to 44 and CPU Core Voltage to 1.34. But ofc that depends on the individual CPU quality

Any idea whats wrong? It also only accepts me runnning ram at 3000mhz and not 3200mhz. Great videotutorial btw :)

[@dab7963]

So frustrating. Stress tested for 5 hours No issues. I was happy too fast. Upon reboot windows would not start unless I unplugged all USB devices. Went back to default (no overclocking) USB Ports work fine again.

[@buzzjump9422]

James Bandes it might be power supply what is the psu and how much more voltage did you give it

[@dab7963]

Buzz Jump thanks I have it set to 4.2 running 1.21 volts. The USB Problem is because I had a Amazon dot echo plugged in. I unplugged it and everything is working great now

[@Cactuspractice12]

I realise i'm late to this post, but for the stress test would you configure your fans to maximum? My liquid cooler keeps temps 70-77 with the fan on second from the highest setting, but I was wondering if stress tests are best done with the fans in set in the middle.

[@ProGamerzTr]

Should i use the same voltage for 6800k?

[@wagagagaggag]

Can I do this exact overclock to my 6800k?

[@renatos9277]

wanna know that too =/

[@buzzjump9422]

wagagagaggag I hope you are joking do it gradually like if it's at 4.4 set it to 4.5 boot then test and then set it to 4.6 and until you can't boot then lower it back and give it a tiny bit more voltage

[@nikostsianos593]

6800k can overclock 4,2 with 1,37 cpu core with 280 aio water cooler

[@dab7963]

You guys are mean :) Yes I mean 4000mHZ OK i used the default settings and after a reboot the strange screen off problem is now gone ! I increased the 40 to 4.1 and its been running for 2 hours max temperature is 82.0 C and stable. I was hoping to go to 4.2 but when I increase my core voltage to 1.25 or 1.27 the temperature climbs to 96 C and it crashes. Probably not much of a difference between 4.1 and 4.2 but would like to go to 4.2 if possible. Thanks

[@der8auer]

sure, it's just a basic setting, like I said :) With proper WC you can expect 4.2-4.4

[@jaimem1788]

Yup most advanced boards like Asus Rampage require at least some basic tweaking in BIOS since stuff like XMP never works at speeds as advertised. At least I haven't seen it. That's why you save a known stable baseline profile like was shown in this video and then can start tweaking more extreme overclocks from there!

[@Pseudoxanthoma]

i7 5820k or i7 6800k ? I dunno which one I should pick. D: Schafft der Noctua D-15 4Ghz beim 6800k oder wird das schon zu heiß?

Der NH-D15 packt das :) Wenn du jetzt upgraden willst dann nimm den 6800K

[@Pseudoxanthoma]

Ah super, dann wird es wohl ein 6800k in Kombination mit dem Noctua D-15. Hast du eventuell noch eine Mainboard Empfehlung unter 500€, Herstellungsjahr 2016. Ist die letzte Frage, die sich mir noch stellt, dann kann ich die Bestellung fertig machen. ^^ Das ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 ist schon toll, aber der Preis dafür ist gesalzen.

More Info: I have the same specs with the 6950x... have the corsair dominator quad channel 3333 8gb x 8 =64gb of it... I put in the EXACT settings and the computer restarts-COLD RESTART-and when it does start up, the code in the corner stays at " 6d " -at least I think that's it. I have no idea what that means, it cycles from that to 60 and back to that 6d or is it saying 'bd'... not sure what the code is... JUST KNOW IT DOESN'T WORK. There is one yellow led lit up and blinking next to the code, it is like it wants to start up but something is stopping it and it repeats the cycle of the codes going from '60-69' or' 60-bd' or '60-6d'... Once it does that for a while, the computer completely restarts and loads the old settings. Now I have BIOS 0903... do I have to upgrade to have it working? ANYONE HERE? HELP ME PLZ! I WANT the hardware to run to get the money out of what I spent for it...bid deal to me. Thank you KINDLY. I APPRECIATE ANY FUTURE HELP. 1 idea, instead of 8 sticks of RAM, should I just use 4 and put them in only 1 quad channel slots? 8gb x 4 instead of 8gb x 8... less memory but it might do something... NOT SURE... HELP OB1... ANYONE.

Ah it may be a bit late but looks like that is a RAM issue. First try updating your bios and see if the error code is the same, and if that doesnt work try turning off xmp and try the 4ghz clock. That's it really the error code is on about DXE initialization which means its trying to recognize your ram which could lead to why your xmp profiles aren't functioning properly

[@Slazzyslaz]

@@MegaKayway could you give me all the settings you know of? for faster ram, oc, and faster cpu, oc, separate... and also settings with everything together... I have the newest bios... this is corsair dominators... real nice ram on the QRM-the registered manufacturers that make ram exactly working for this MB... I am curious what everyone here has their setting that work so well... also fastest ram used, make model... all that good stuff... hook me up...for 5 years I never had this baby at 4ghz... it always does something funky after the auto settings... i'll tryp xmp... but I doubt it. Let me know if that error code had anything to do with a GROUND ISSUE? thanks.

[@Slazzyslaz]

@@MegaKayway the ram was recognized... CMD -3333mhz version quad core 32gb and I have 2 of them to fill the 8 slots for 64 total... xmp option sees it fine... I will do the 4.0 without xmp test now. I just have "6d" sitting on the bios output code screen on the motherboard... 6d and a yellow is flashing... meaning what one of the modules is bad? can I still run 7 modules and get full speeds or no? or it doesn't matter if it just one bad module, take it out and try again? with xmp? let me know. thanks and I never got an email about you responding... THANK YOU SO MUCH! lets see if this works.

[@Slazzyslaz]

and I'm running on bios 2102... you have bios from 2016... I have 2019 bios... let me know

[@Slazzyslaz]

tried without xmp and nothing... just sat off not booting with the 6d and yellow led flashing... I never got my 6950x higher than 3.0ghz or have my 64gb of ram ever go past 1333... I even have air conditioning and water cooling on the units... it runs at 25-30 degrees C... but as soon as I put it with any of your settings it just sits there and returns to the slow speeds... I think the ram module is broken... I'm trying to make a cancer movie and having ram that works really matters... is there anyone that may help? plz. I can only afford this old computer to do the 4K RAW editing on... and After Effects... and slow video cards because of the super costs. This is for my father, he has the cancer, something that was given to him by bad doctors. PLEASE HELP.

[@350z4dayz]

Can you let me know a good over clock speed for my i7 6850k? 32gb of gskillz ram liquid cooled 1200watt power supply rampage v motherboard

[@Jimbo_1977]

did you ever find one, same setup except 64gb ram, & psu.

[@350z4dayz]

@@Jimbo_1977 no and I’ve sold that build and built a way better machine since then now I’m running ryzen 5950x 128gb Corsair dom msi x570 creation motherboard evga 3090 ftw3 and it holds a steady 5.0-5.1

Dafür das du so wenig abos hast machst du echt hochwertige videos :)

[@der8auer]

thx =) Arbeite daran :D

[@astro0125]

Does the Broadwell-E chip like the 6850k work out of the box with this X99 board or would i need a haswell chip first and then need to upgrade the bios or flash the bios?

[@dutz1117]

Meiner funktioniert nicht.sobald ich alles einstelle wie im video.will restarten.mein pc geht aus und dann kommt kein unterschied.. wieder im windows und dann geht er auch nur mit 3.2ghz.

[@visualaidoberseebilinguals3309]

I have an edition 10 with a 6950x, exactly the same as you here, i have the same settings you have set, but in the stress tests i cannot get over 3.5 my bios shows a successful 40% oc at 4.2Ghz but it is as if the cores are capped at 3.5, can anyone help?

[@JohnUnnever]

I have the Rampage V Edition 10 with i7 6850k. I tried using these settings but it will not boot. I cannot get it to boot if i use XMP profile. My memory is Gskill Trident Z 3200mhz. I have manually overclocked the CPU to 4.4Ghz @ 1.35v .. when i then try playing around with different memory speeds.. it will boot at 3000mhz, not at 3200mhz. I have the dram voltage set to the manufacturer voltage of 1.35v as well. SystemAgent voltage is set to Auto like you mentioned. Any ideas? Full load temps running prime 95 are around 70-75C with Thermaltake Water 3.0 RIING cpu cooler. Do you think 1.35v for 4.4Ghz is ok voltage with those temps? Idle temps are mid 30's C.

[@YOUSI07]

John Unnever+ Hi any luck i have got the same spec as you just my ram is the corasir £3200mhz. im thinking of overclocking mine too was thinking of doing it the auto way?

[@jonj1033]

Also having the problems of it not booting at 3200 but with Corsair ram

[@dab7963]

I love your videos. I followed your video and but my multiplier will not go to 40. I have an 8 core i7 6900K

[@miguelchelyvelasco5977]

I follow the same steps and my Pc os not opening windows...!! 😑 64gb dom plat Of ram makes any diferences..???

[@SpectralViral]

I keep getting a multiplier of 12 and my cpu is clocked between 12 and 3000 despite following this guide. any ideas for fixes?

[@trocaniklas]

Looking for some advice, did this exact overclock almost 2 years ago and got 4GHZ and was happy (thank you), I have not played around with anything and figured a day or two that i should try to overclock it a little bit more and perhaps get a better water cooler just for the sake of it. However i before i did anything i went it to CPU-Z just to verify my clock and noticed that it was now at 3.5GHZ with a 35 multiplier WTF? I took a look in about section in CPU-Z and clicked clock there it showed only 1 core on 4ghz. In windows power management it is set to Performance and i have double check everything i could think of. I have rested CMOS, redone the clock several times to no anvil. The Multiplier is stuck on 35 and 3.5ghz in CPU-Z and it is impossible to get it back to its original 4ghz with 40 multiplier. Any suggestion as to what could have happened?

[@visualaidoberseebilinguals3309]

i have this issue too

[@marcleduc1493]

Same here! I don't get it, the CPU appears to ignore the ratio entered in the BIOS and keeps its default ratios.

[@Jwaynedonkson]

update your mobos bios to the latest avalible. i have a 6850k and mine would only go to 4.0 ghz. some digging and i found that its the windows genuine intel micro code.

[@SergeyFM_ru]

With custom water-cooling what max frequency can I expect of i7-6950X? I hope for sweet 5GHz all cores turbo )

[@der8auer]

4.5 GHz is max if you find a golden CPU :) For 5 GHz on Broadwell-E you need extreme cooling such as DICE or LN2

[@SergeyFM_ru]

Dankeschön!

[@pintograph_]

hmm... i have the 6900k with a water cooler Cirsair H105i. Memory Kingstone HyperX 3200mhz. I cant follow you because my system dont boot (monitor black) after i make the OC in the bios... so i think that my system is unsteable. so. ¿What i have to do different at you? memory OC is to much for mines? Help please.

[@JoseSanchez-xj3xn]

Can anyone explain to me why the IMC cannot handle memory speeds above 3200Mhz? Is there a website I can learn more about this limitation.

[@technotarius4444]

ASUS MBs like overvoltage CPU VCCIO and VCCSA rails when overlclocking ram with XMP or auto voltages on this rails.

[@ziggytubey]

hey der8.. what ram are you using?

[@der8auer]

Currently G.Skill TridentZ 3600C16

[@ziggytubey]

4 or 8 dimms? im askin cuz of vql and 8 dimms .. list is short..as far as ram speed..highest listed is 2800 and not even 3200 ..thanks

[@der8auer]

I never check the qvl. Never had any problems. Just buy what you like :)

[@themenace222]

hi! this settings works with i7 5960x?

[@audwinsookra2582]

I'm having a issue with this board. i cant get it to post using Corsair dominator 32gb 3200mhz (8x4) any advice?

[@alexwill22]

Does the Klevv Cras memory work with this board? I notice in the video you switch to g skill memory during the over clock.

[@der8auer]

Because the G.Skill memory is better for OC :) But Klevv works fine, too

[@der8auer]

Klevv uses Hynix MFR ICs and G.Skill Samsung ICs

[@alexwill22]

Thanks for the info! Let me know if the old Rampage V water blocks fit on this new board.

[@vladimirvasa87]

Is this motherboard compatible with EK-FB KIT ASUS R5E - Acetal+Nickel (Original CSQ) water cooling sistem

+jhonny dead aren't the 2 240mm radiators bottlenecking the resevoirs?

[@azhax6127m]

hey, thanks for the post. I have a irrelevant question but would be happy if anyone know the answer or reason, my water cooling system make me really nervous. I had to fill it just a bit to get it about 1cm upper than the incomin water tube every 2 or 3 weeks or it gets noisy bcs of the water level geting low it starts to making bubble and so much noise. Is it normal and the water cooling system should be filled in this short period of time?! I did t even overclocked my 6950x cpu that much just to 3.81 and a 560x radiator with 4 140 fans working just for the cpu!

[@AsidsTechTips]

Does anyone know why a 6950x would not go over 3.5Ghz when coping his settings? I have the exact same chip and an edition 10 rog board, basically the same board. and when I copy his settings and run aida 64E, the clocks sit at 3.5. I cant get em higher. anybody able to help?

[@cokezero1]

The solution that worked for me is ( from Microsoft forum) Take security control of the file mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll and then disable it by renaming it mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll.disabled. Reboot your PC and your Multiplicator will work as normal again. answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-security/kb4100347-intel-microcode-updates-messes-with-cpu/51796b00-75cb-41fb-b587-0df7a1ed8349?page=3

[@gameunboxed9345]

I have same board with 6800K - whenever my cpu is hitting more than 70c it is restarting. Finally i fixed this in the settings by changing the the cpu max temperature manually to 95

[@ahmedadly]

Hi, did you need to update the BIOS to be able to use this CPU ? or the motherboard supports Broadwell-E out of the box ? i'm getting strange warnning about this MB and CPU combination here: pcpartpicker.com/list/nThsQV
