Hi Nate. Should I enable or disable xmp for this and use manual settings

You can try it with XMP then if it gives you trouble you can try it manually.

Hi.
Had a tweek around tonight, have ddr4 running at 3395 thanks Nate.
Whilst in there CPU now running at 4.6 with no temp probs, no signs of instability yet but will keep an eye on it as air cooled.
Feelin smugg.

You're welcome

That looks pretty good Rob, you can take the BCLK up a notch or two to get it to 3400MHz.

Misread the frequency on ram, so settings are
BCLK. 103.0
CPU Core Ratio, Per core 46,46,45,45
BCLK :DRAM frequency ratio. Auto
DRAM freq: DDR4-3021mhz. ( I set it to 3400 but it keeps changing back )
Extreme tweaking. Disabled
TPU. TPU1
CPU core cache current limit max. Auto
Min 41 max 41
CPU core/cache voltage. ( 1.42) offset mode
Mode sign. +
DRAM Voltage ( 1.360v) 1.3500
CPU VCCIO Voltage. ( 1.280v ). 1.25000
CPU system agent (1.024 varying between 1.016 ). 1.000000

In AL suite CPU frequency is now showing as 4738Mhz temp 34degC
DDR4 showing frequency of 3021Mhz , target cache frequency 4223 MHz
As I push the DDR4 up so does the CPU go up but at a far greater percentage, I think I am pushing my luck with CPU on4738mhz air cooled.
Have been running Star Citizen for hours last night and again this morning, system is stable, game flows realy smoothly and CPU runs at a max of 54deg C.
Can't upload results from cpu-z as al suite stops responding every time try to do anything with it, this has been going on since before any O/C, will have to remove and reinstall it again.

If you uninstall ai suite III run this cleaner after uninstalling.

I wonder if setting TPU to TPU1 is maybe causing your ram not to go to 3400MHz, I have TPU set to "Use Current Settings"

The BCLK can overclock very far on z170, what you can do is lower the cpu core ratio and keep pushing up the BCLK, you have a lot of room to play with it.

Or, set the BCLK to 100 and set your ram manually, it shouldn't be changing back after you set the frequency, so try the TPU to"Keep Current Settings"

Give me a few minutes and I'll post a screen shot of my BCLK at 300. 🙂
