XMP and cpu Core ghz Problem
XMP and cpu Core ghz Problem
Hello, I'm facing an issue starting my PC. I have an i7 5960xAT with a 1.285v processor running at 4.6ghz. I tested it before, but when I try to stress the CPU, it doesn't exceed 1200ghz per core. The XMP profile is set to switch from 2133mhz to 3200mhz, but the PC still won't boot. My RAM supports up to 3200mhz. My specs are: I7 5969x, MMOi x99A gaming 9 ACK, RAM Trident Z 3200mhz.
I have some photos of my overclocking attempts here:

I'm very new to this, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I have a few issues with starting up my PC. I'm running an i7 5969x at 1.285v with 4.6ghz clocks. So far testing hasn't worked, but when I try to put stress on the CPU it doesn't exceed 1200ghz per core. I need to change the XMP settings from 2133mhz to 3200mhz to allow booting. My PC specs are: I7 5969x, MSI x99A gaming motherboard, RAM Trident Z 3200mhz.
I've attached some photos of my overclocked build. I'm new to this and any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

The issue is I can reach more than 1200ghz, but I don't understand why. Without checking your BIOS settings, it's hard to say exactly what's causing it. Also, are you referring to DRAM or CPU core speed? It looks like you have both in your example. If you're seeing 1200Mhz for your DRAM in CPU-Z, that's the actual clock speed. You should multiply by 2 to get the speed you're aiming for. For instance, a 3200Mhz DRAM might appear as 1600Mhz in CPU-Z.
The 1200ghz come from the CPU clock, yet even adjusting to 4.0 or 4.6 the motherboard claims it functions at that frequency, but benchmarks on CPU-Z and OpenHardware only display 1200ghz.
The 1200ghz are derived from the CPU clock, yet even attempts to reach 4.0 or 4.6 result in the motherboard claiming it functions at that speed. However, when I run benchmarks for CPU-Z and OpenHardware, only 1200ghz is reported. Be sure to disable power-saving C states and lock your cores at full speed. Avoid any downclocking during overclocking, as this could cause voltage dips or spikes, potentially triggering a BSOD, freezing, or crashes that would otherwise be stable.
Can we use Skype to demonstrate what I have? Also, I'm updating the motherboard BIOS since the initial one is disabled. I set it to maximum performance, but it's not working.
