Hi guys, really need help here!
Just bought this great motherboard GA-Z87X-OC and new CPU i7-4770K!
I'm utterly new to Z87 overclocking / memory stabilization.
My goal is to achieve default processor clocks with it's default x35 uncore, and run 8Gb of my memory on it's XMP specs, which are:
G.SKILL F3-17000CL8D-4GBXMD, 2133mHz, 8 9 8 24, 1.65V
For now i've tried everything about CPU and voltages set on auto (ie optimized defaults), but i've disabled all C states, disabled intel thermal monitor, and enabled EIST.
When i try to set manually memory like set 2133mHz, 8 9 8 24 2T timings, and voltage exactly to 1.65V (it shows value a bit higher on sensor, like +0.2V to what you set in bios, maybe it's the problem?) - i got error in OCCT after 2-3 minutes (64bit, 8 threads large data set)
I also tried to leave CPU as is, and just set memroy to XMP, have run the same test - same error arise after 3-5 minutes.
My guess is that there should be something that should be set maunally, like QPI/VTT in X58 motherboards and i7-970.
Could you please point some voltages like that i could try, explain what exactly they are, and how they will affect temps?
P.S Temps for this CPU seem to be utterly fine, 64 at it's max. I use Corsair CWCH90 watercooler.
P.P.S. I'm absolutely sure that RAM is working, have used it for years on X58 and tested via ramtest multiple times.
So please gskill support, help me troubleshoot / understand as fast as you can, coz if something is wrong with CPU or motherboard, i must RMA it asap!
