I'm running 8000 like a daily, boots right up, no heat issues - ain't no issues at all.

OK, smarty pants nicely done,..

Now lets see 20-min of Karhu to confirm that 8000 is indeed worthy,.. https://www.karhusoftware.com/ramtest/

You will want to open HWiNFO64 while running Karhu, and monitor your RAM, CPU temps.

LOL smarty pants, I haven't gotten that far yet, need to tweek bios and figure the hell out of what I'm doing.

Still So Fun!

I could probably hit 8200 right now, but it may not be stable, lol. Still very impressed with the i5 6core $300. Wow!

Bro, I know you are dying to get into these Intel mem clocks. 6000 with AMD just ain't gonna cut it for you man, you LOVE the hobby so much.

Yes your correct, 8000 is looking sweet,.. lol

Make sure you open HWiNFO64 and monitor your temps while running Karhu,.. you can click stop if things get crazy and adjust cores used, it's going to run all cores used at turbo speeds during test.

Karhu will find any errors generally within a few seconds, you want to shoot for 2000% coverage,.. and if you can pass 2000% you are good to go.

After testing stability you can measure your single-core and multi-core performance with both default XMP profile vs adjusted/tuned OC profile using Geekbench,.. the results will show a huge difference in performance.

Make sure you open HWiNFO64 and monitor your temps while running Karhu,.. you can click stop if things get crazy and adjust cores used, you don't need to run all 16 cores.

I might do that on Thursday, that's how unimportant stress tests are to my work rigs.

I don't do Prime 95 ever, I don't build work computers to run stress tests. That's just silly.

If you are stable for 2weeks with your work apps - you are STABLE.

From the brilliant gents over at OCN:

"watercool the rams. cant explain it but before i watercool my ram i thought it was just so so.
now it can do 8533 c34-47-47-34@1.58v

is it because theres heat trap in that gskill heatsink affecting the chipset??
no idea bro but go naked + fan or wc it.

same thing happen to my other friends 7600 kit. on air he thought so so only. water. his ram now = mine."
