That's acceptable, just verify the FPU section next time you run a test.
Yes, turn off the rest and enable Advanced Turbo, Load optimized CPU and GPU.
OK, choose Manual override if needed.
Alright then, after 20 minutes of another AIDA session with FPU active, I noticed higher temperatures—around 68°C on the hottest core, though the current reading is 66°C. The dropbox link I shared has been updated with SS details for this run.
Is it still safe to follow your OC guide? Has the FPU been stressed during testing despite being selected?
Thanks again.
It will assess the FPU, a unique component of the CPU.
Temperatures should be optimal up to 68°C.
Best ranges are between 10-15°C when ambient is at maximum and 60-65°C during stress. You're doing well.
Just confirming your updates.
The latest report indicates Max frequency is 4.4GHz, not 4.5GHz. CPUz shows a value of 4203.53GHz; I’m curious about the reason. You mentioned no ASRock software is causing issues—did it get turned off? If yes, disable or uninstall it if necessary. It can be reinstalled later. All other aspects seem fine, so save this profile for the next stage using the same core voltage. Avoid running any additional ATM tests. The next step will focus on your Dimms performance profile, along with setting Primary Timings and voltage for DIMMs. In Windows, open the Memory and SPD tabs in CPUz, note the XMP profile, then return to the Bios Overclock Tweaker menu. Set the Dram Preset to manual, enter the values from your XMP profile, and adjust the XMP voltage in the Dram voltage field.
That update was for the stress test running on the fpu at stock non over clock settings. Sorry I kept you. Don't stay up on my account. I'm gonna definitely post here as soon as I've set multiplier to 45 and ran a few tests with fpu enabled. If you're up then by all means, feedback is much appreciated. Else just comment when you get the next opportunity. (I was busy feeding/changing both the kids, soz).

It's no problem M8. just take your time and i'll be here when your done. I usually go till 1am my time so we have 3hrs yet.
Also do you have Cstates enabled in Bios. This is a power saving feature and should be disabled during the tests. You can switch it back on later.

I've been in the BIOS and followed your guidelines to the T, with exception of course with fields that don't match (such as llc to enabled only and Vcore value set to override mode and then 1.250v typed in via keyboard). I have uninstalled ASRock's Formula Drive app for OCing from within Windows. As in the link above, HWMonitor shows the max clock speed is still Intel's default 4.4ghz. I don't know why the 45 multiplier isn't sticking and why it shows 100.08 for BCLK in CPUZ when i'd set it manually to 100. Windows seems to be overriding the bios settings.
I will go into bios and disable all the c states too and see if that helps. I will probably ask about a couple of fields in the bios that you didn't mention but are nearly worded in the exact same way as the ones you did, i.e. it may be directly linked. For example: initial BCLK and eventual BCLK.
