Hello,

What is your budget?

What size preference?

AMD or NVIDIA GPU?

Hello,

Realbench remains the most practical use case for stress testing a system without subjecting the CPU to copious amounts of current.

Not all boards require an AC cycle, as long as the voltage is changing I'm not sure there's anything to address here. It can depend on the UEFI config as to what controllers are enabled/disabled,...

Hello,

Slot configuration can be found within the manual on page 12.

Hello,

These kits are only likely to be produced in small numbers. Regardless, mixing kits of that density is not likely to work without manual tuning, or at all at the validated frequency.

It...

Hello,

Yes, an updated UEFI isn't likely going to solve the issue as what voltage is needed depends on the individual CPU.

Best to make notes, or if the platform supports profiles across UEFI...

Hello,

When XMP is enabled associated voltage rails scale to accommodate stability (VCCIO/VCCSA). Depending on the CPU sample you may be able to dial these back, but for the sake of stability it's...

As I said, you can apply either a negative or positive offset, however, this isn't true adaptive. The minimum VID is definined by the individual CPU. Not something within our control.

Adaptive uses Intel's VID table, so it is not possible to go below the minimum VID for said frequency. You would need to run a negative offset, however be aware this is applied to the entire VID...

The UEFI will always report the effective memory frequency, should be clear if you've digested the links provided by Red Sector

For the platform you are using I would still recommend Realbench. Prime95 induces an incredible amount of current based on a totally unrealistic AVX routine. For 9/10 users a video encode will be the...

Rollback to the last Windows kernel if you've recently updated. The latest update for W10 has caused a few issues for some users. Failing that, install a dummy OS of W10 and see if the problem...

Hello,

2 DIMM kits on T-Toplogy boards can be more difficult to overclock than when populating all available DIMM slots. You may want to try;

1) VCCSA/VCCIO up to 1.3v. Keep in mind these are...

Hello,

Have you tried reseating the CPU? You may wish to also remove the motherboard from the enclosure/chassis. Make sure the standoffs are not overtightened, especially ones surrounding the CPU...

Thank you for reporting this issue, will aim to replicate and resolve.

Hello,

Memory parameters vary from vendor to vendor. You may want to try both Maximus Tweak Modes 1 and 2 as well as both XMP 1 and 2 profiles to see whether this remedies the instability.

Ah yes, the thing :D. Hampering purchasing decisions the world over.



Not that it's sane to offer recommendations on unreleased products, but in that instance, I would suggest waiting for...

Hello,

Personally, I would consider an AM4 build given you won't be upgrading again for a few platform cycles. 3900X and a Strix 570-E for example. For longevity, I would take the extra cores over...

Hello,

Here is 4x8GB 4266 running stable on the Maximus Formula XI.

The feature you are referring to is needed, or else your system wouldn't POST at all. If the system is retraining that many times, the memory overclock isn't stable enough to pass POST stress tests....

Hello,

Memtest86 will not tell you anything worth knowing beyond faulty modules. You would need to use HCI Memtest Pro or Karhu Ram Test to properly stress the memory subsystem. Moreover, memory...

Hello,

I will try to resolve/replicate this issue with you. Please respond to my PM when you're available to do so.

Do you have the part number for the kit? There's no harm using flashback, could well be some changes between builds to memory ruling. Older AFR or Hynix based kits are quite old and don't fair well...

128GB bins aren't in abundance and better suited to workstation platforms over mainstream. If combining kits be aware overclocking range will be limited, especially with 64-128GB. The kits you have...

It sounds like a change in the power rules between UEFI builds. All core boost is dependant on thermal and power conditions, adjusting short and long duration for power limits as you have done is...
