X99-DELUXE 5960X overclock

Hi,
I am new in this forum and overclocking. I recently build a X99-Deluxe 5960X system. As you may guess I start overclocking.
Firstly I set only (46x100) 1.25V with all default values . System post just fine and WIN10 starts to the desktop.
When I try to launch stress test only for CPU in AIDA64 everything just works fine even Cinebench completes the cpu test.
But when enable other streess test in AIDA with CPU stress test BSOD appears in the first few seconds.
I think it is about DRAM voltage. I've tried with 2133mhz but no luck. I am heading for a 4.4Ghz OC.
Can you help?

System is X99-Deluxe, 5960X, 4X8GB 2666mhz hyperx, corsair H110i GTX and 980ti.

Best of Luck. .c.

Thanks! I am reading...

Hi,
Thank you for the links.
I found a solution.
Set the values below;

CPU STRAP:100Mhz
CPU CORE MULTIPLIER: 44
CPU CORE VOLTAGE (MANUAL): 1.30v
CPU CACHE VOLTAGE (MANUAL): 1.20v
CPU INPUT VOLTAGE: 1.90v
XMP DRAM Frequency down clock it to 2400Mhz from 2666Mhz
DRAM VOLTAGE: 1.350v ( HYPERX default voltage is 1.2v I think it is not enough for
32GB 2666Mhz)

System is stable for 30 minutes with AIDA64
Temperatures are below 80 degree
But during Linx stress test sometimes hits 92 degree 🙂

Next I will try 45 multiplier...

Any advise for the values?
And there is a TPU switch on the X99-DELUXE. It is disabled as default.
Do I need to switch it to the 2nd position?

Thanks...

Your advice will be highly appreciated.
Here are my settings.

I am using 100 (45X100) strap. Cant set HyperX to run at 2666Mhz. I think it is unstable at that frequency.
Yesterday changed the values to 46X100 it was stable in a 15 minutes RealBench and below 80 degrees.
I want to switch to the adaptive mode for the voltage. Which settings should I set?
Thanks for your answers Chino...

It's easier to achieve stability with DDR4 2666 on the 125 Strap. Using the 100 Strap might require some diligent manual tweaking.

For adaptive voltage, you need to input the value that you're using into the Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage field.
