nah thats just a frequency run with a single stick, this particular chip has a meh 2nd channel so doesnt post as high freq in the 2nd channel when compared to my 2nd best which can bios boot probably windows boot 3232 or maybe slightly over, vtt at 1.94v btw and yea seems like they degrade somewhat quick at this vtt which i find a little odd as my i7 930 has no degradation issues at 1.86v and still hits 3300 even after quite a few runs if i really wanted to run stable then maybe around 3000-3100 on that 2nd best xeon chip but depends on where it starts flaking out vtt wise cause that i7 ive only run it at 2900-2950 stable with 2 sticks due to 1.7v vtt limit and it would suck if im limited to only 1.7v, probably should get some sticks that are lighter on the imc but id rather something that doesnt need cold like psc cause its more funny to run absurd freq purely on air as for triple channel sadly x58a ud3rs have garbage third channel that flakes out above 2800 but even if that werent an issue i cant run 1:1 uncore with 3 sticks for whatever reason, uncore needs to be atleast 3 multis above ram multi otherwise no post and stuck on c3/c5 code, and no windows boot either regardless of uncore ratio if it isnt 2:1 =( even if it did boot it wouldnt be stable as anything between 1:1 and 2:1 is not stable whatsoever and will instacrash prime95, so probably just gonna have to buy a gulftown if i wanna toy around with high freq triple channel alongside a better board but x58a oc are unobtainium and the common rampage boards are trash due to forced uncore ratio so gonna look for alternatives and so far theres the evga ftw3/classified, foxconn flaming blade, and the gigabyte g1 assassin 1.58v is really low volt for ddr3 but i guess thats to be expected if you arent even running 2000, my 3300+ freq runs need 2.3v and stable at ~3000 needs somewhere around 2.2v which i can finally test cause i got a better chip, but vcore at 1.55v seems excessive for only 4.5ghz so yea maybe you should look for x5675 instead cause afaik theyre usually better bin on average doesnt mean that you cant get a golden x5680 or x5650 or something but youll get better chips on average, vtt 1.4v is also really low so id just default to running vtt at 1.5-1.6v depending on how much uncore scales for 32nm which is what i did with my old x5660 but cant say for sure degradation wise as i saw none cause short oc sessions with no high vtt (>1.6v) though for bloomfield my vtt ranges anywhere from 1.7v - 1.98v depending on how far that particular chip can scale and i havent seen any degradation at <1.9v vtt on my i7 930 and i have done some pretty long oc sessions on that thing only thing id suspect here is vcore and depends on what kinda temps you were running cause high temp and degradation will be quite abit quicker at this kinda vcore
Installed the new CPU and it worked fine. I haven’t tested at 4.5GHz yet since I didn’t have enough thermal paste, but I reused it and it didn’t perform well. Is 4.3 all-core better than not booting stock?
