Sure, if you don't mind can you share the file? Thanks in advance!

My mistake - the 6950x is the 10 core. It was late last night. Even with a nice custom watercooled loop though, that electron migration!

1.425vcore is very high for a 10 core CPU. That level of voltage is going to generate a lot of heat and potential for electron migration. As much as I hate to say it, I'd put money on the CPU being...

From my understanding that's usually a dead CPU. Are there any bent pins on your motherboard socket? Were you pushing your CPU hard on voltage?

Good to know! Thanks again Arne.

Arne- How long should I test for? 1000% coverage? 4000% coverage?

Thanks Arne, I'll buy it and test it out. Appreciate the suggestion.

Just to update - I fixed my problem by upgrading my RAM to a tight Samsung B die kit. It increased my uncore clock and RAM clock. Very happy, but I paid handsomely for that happiness...

I'm no EE student but this was excellent - thank you for this easily digestible analogy! It's still teaching people (me) 3 years later.

Great guide Arne! Thanks for the laughs while I stress test this old 5960x. It's eggxactly what I needed to pass the time.

Trying to get the RAM kit stable with Trfc at 357T and 1T timings, but now this is becoming a different thread!

Thanks again Arne

Well guys, a HUGE thank you, it was the RAM kit afterall. I bit the bullet and shelled out some cash for quality RAM. Got the G.Skill 32GB DDR4 TridentZ RGB 3600Mhz PC4-28800 CL16 1.35V Quad Channel...

Thanks for the tip - I'll go comb through Newegg and see what's out there.

I'm a manual tuner for sure! I tend to shy away from XMP profiles because I don't want to lose performance from loose...

An ASUS rep got back to me via phone today and pretty much said the same thing. They had a response back from their engineers who sited the QVL list and how my kit wasn't on said list.

My 5960x is...

Yeah, I cannot even POST with 1, 2, 3 or all 4 RAM modules installed on any BIOS greater than 2001, with no XMP. Maybe I have a sub-par kit? I know that as you increase RAM density things can get...

It's no Samsung B die, that's for sure. And you are right about the voltage. I had to run RAM voltages at 1.4v to get 2800MHz to pass stress testing. I'll try some other RAM and see what gives....

This sounds a lot like what's going on with my Rampage V Extreme U3.1 motherboard which is also paired with a Haswell-E (i7 5960x in my case). My error is more extreme. If I update to the latest...

I recently purchased an ASUS Rampage V Extreme U3.1 motherboard second-hand on eBay from a Canadian seller. Said motherboard was pulled from a working ORIGIN PC build. It was shipped to me on BIOS...
