System ;; 16 Gb corsair dominator ddr4 3300mhz , R5E, i5930K
1) I had big trouble trying to reach 3300mhz on the ram sticks, even when rising Sa Volt there was permanent instability. So I did my ram overclocking another way:
Reached for 2800 Mhz on the ram and draw back the timings to 14,14,14,33, 1T with core volt =1,18 and Sa Volt=1 and dram Volt =1,35- There is no instability with these values.
Results on aida 64 memory benchmark with xms (3300mhz profile) were :: read 54074Mb/s; write 48534; copy 62131
Results with my method are read 52965Mb/s write 49743; copy 59684
Is this a big deal of diference?
2) Then I went for the cpu
With the above values I managed to go up to 105 bclk with 42 multiplier with no errors. I did not go further because I did not try, since I still had no stabiliry errors, but I had to stop because of the excessive heating.
So in order not to fry my cpu I backed up to 105 x 40 until I get (if ever) a better cooling system. It was just to much heat beeing generated, but still I got no instability or errors.
I gained some secs with super pi -
So can you give this noob an opinion and maybe some sugestions?

I'm somewhat uncertain if the CPU type has anything to do with memory (DRAM) performance (though I imagine it does), but with my 5960X and my DDR4 @ 3000 Mhz at 15-15-15-35 2T, with quad channel, this what I get with AIDA64:
As of now, I'm running a BCLK of 125 Mhz with a 34x multiplier, though I sometimes run it at 35x, but the heat and Vcore requirement is a little high for my taste. Someone with a 5930k might be able to provide you with some better comparisons benches.
