Upgrading i7 5820k using MSI X99A MPower
Hello everyone, I'm an overclocking enthusiast, so please give me some space.
I'm attempting to push my CPU and RAM to higher speeds.
Current specs: i7 5820k, 32 GB RAM at 3200 MHz Dominator Platinum, MSI X99A MPower.
I achieved stability with a multiplier of 44, Vcore 1.255 v, Bclk 100, and everything running in AUTO mode.
However, after changing to RAM overclocking, I set the default XMP profile to 3200 MHz but didn't see any adjustments—Bclk stayed at 100 and the system remained in AUTO.
Is there something I'm missing?
Once I hit a stable 4.4 GHz with these settings, what steps should I take next?
They confirmed it thoroughly, using CPUs running at normal speeds. Repeat the same steps with RAM but at full speed. Apply XMP settings, set RAM to 2400, and check performance. Monitor for any instability or overvoltage issues. Online resources offer many optimization tips for RAM, though unless you require a significant boost for a particular application, changes may only affect benchmarks.
XMP will just adjust the memory configurations. Modifying anything connected to the motherboard can cause instability. You might want to remove XMP and increase the voltage or decrease the RAM speed.

XMP will merely adjust the memory configurations. Modifying anything connected to the motherboard can cause instability. Perhaps remove XMP and increase voltage, or reduce RAM speed.
Corsair states that their tested 3200 Mhz voltage is 1.35v with these latencies: 16-18-18-36.
Do you think I should boost the speed and voltage only for the rams while keeping Core Clock and Bclk at 100?

Test performance, increase speed if needed, and check for any instability like overvoltage. Searching online will find many optimization guides for RAM, though unless you require a significant boost for a particular application, changes may be minimal beyond benchmarks.
