cpu X20
BCKL at 190
Turbo Disabled
Multi T Enabled
cpu enhanced disabled
C3/C6 Disabled
performance standard
qpi tried auto and X36
uncore tried 3800 and lower depending on ram speed
System memory Multi 8 so its at 1520 my ram is XSMS-3 pc 1600
Dram timming auto 8 8 8 24
Dram voltage at 1.64 and tried auto
load live calib Disabled
cpu V core 1.4125
QPI at 1.340
CIA2 Disabled

Joe, try these settings and see if she boots and we'll go from there.

CPU Multi - X20
BCKL at 190
Turbo - Disabled
Multithreading - Disabled
cpu enhanced disabled
C3/C6 Disabled
performance standard
QPI - 36x
Uncore - 2800ish (closest to that you can get)
Memory Multi - 6x (should be around 1200mhz)
Dram timming auto 8 8 8 24
DRAM Voltage - 1.64 is fine.
load live calib Disabled
CPU Vcore - 1.4 (should be enough for 3.8)
QPI at 1.35 (for now)
CIA2 Disabled

if that doesn't work try this, lol

did you press "load optimized defaults" ??
then proceed

CPU Multi - X20
BCKL at 181
Turbo - enabled
Multithreading - enabled
C3/C6 Disabled
performance standard
QPI - auto
Uncore - auto
Dram timming auto 8 8 8 24
DRAM Voltage - 1.64 is fine.
load live calib enable
CPU Vcore - 1.46
QPI at 1.35

ok some update I was able to get it work at 3.8Ghz stable but CPU was getting in the 90 degree and didn’t like that Vcore was at 1.425.

So this is what I did I think my biggest problem was the load line Calibration.

I put that enabled
Changed in to Turbo mode so it will work at 21X
Put the BKL so it shows as 3.6 GHz
Cpu Vcore to 1.3125

I was able to get MUCH lower temp with the Turbo on so it will be at 21X

System test passed with temp at MAX 80 degrees at 100% load. This is what it looks like now

cpu X20
BCKL at 175
Turbo ENABLED
Multi T Enabled
cpu enhanced disabled
C3/C6 Disabled
performance standard
Virtualization is Enabled
qpi tried auto and X36
uncore tried 3400
System memory Multi 8 so its at 1520 my ram is XSMS-3 pc 1600
Dram timing auto 8 8 8 24
Dram voltage at 1.64 and tried auto
load live calib ENABLED
cpu V core 1.33125
QPI at AUTO <<== if I touch this system doesn’t post
CIA2 Disabled

With this configuration in CPU-Z I have 3675Mhz so im happy now. System Property shows 3.5Ghz though im not sure if its at 3.5 or 3.675Ghz

Thanks guys

now you need better cooling, lol it never ends.

glad to see you making improvments!
