Thewiruz Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hello First of all i have these Corsair TR3X6G1600C9 (2Gbx6=12GB). I dont know what to do as they wont boot with my Xeon L5639 hexacore. Im pretty sure its memory related as it boots fine in stock 2.1GHz. But when i change the BCLK +1MHz i need to set the tRAS and the tRC manually from Auto to tRAS=45 and tRC=88 to get the computer to boot. Now i am at 3.3Ghz and i have this scratching noise. First i thought it was the SSD (Sounds like coil whine) Wth? First i cant run there 1600MHz memory in 1600MHz. Its totally unstable! I get ram errors when i run memtest pro. Also i needed to set the Memvoltage to 4.66 in bios to have it stable at 1480MHZ .The turbo boost running up and down and i can see that the noise is coming from the up and down clocks in HWinfo. What is this? Why cant the computer boot when i set the BCLK to +1MHz ? My coreI7 clocks fine but this 6 core with dual QPI links doesn't. Its a pain in the ***** Vcore is set to 1.2v and it wont make any difference if i set it to 1.3v QPI/VTT same. No change with higher volts! mem volts =1.66V I have a Corsair HX 850W Xeon L5639 12GB TR3X6G1600C9 triple channel Gigabyte GTX 580 Really need help! Also i cant set the memory to SPD X6 or anything other then X8. Wont boot! Also same with Uncore! X24 is the magic number! along with X8 SPD QPI frequency is set to X36 I need a full ram settings guide. Seams like something is offset as i cant reach 1600MHZ and i cant lower it ether as i only can set SPD X8 there are a ton of different timings i can set. Also i have some functions i dont know what it is.One has a bracket on! Round trip Latency [59] B2B CAS Delay - Channel interleaving [6] 0-7 interleaving [4] 0-7 Thanks here is the memory's i have http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51-k4S4raxL._SL500_AA300_.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Dustin Posted November 13, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 13, 2013 There's a LOT going on here. You need to step back and evaluate the issues one at a time. Your Xeon is not specced for 3.3GHz or for DDR3-1600. I suggest going back to stock clocks on the CPU and then seeing if you can get the RAM to run at 1600MHz. If you can, awesome, but understand that chip is only rated by Intel up to DDR3-1066. As for the scratching noise, I have absolutely no idea, pop open your case and try to listen for it. A SSD isn't going to make that kind of noise, it has no moving parts. Listen to each of the fans and try to isolate it. It's a separate issue, though.

peanutz94 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 What about your BIOS? Is it the latest. I know some boards require a BIOS flash to enable 6 core support. Have you tried using the XMP profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewiruz Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hi guys and thanks for all feedback! As i said I cant set the SPD in stock clock even .It will run with all at AUTO but that's it! If i change anything that has to do with frequency its a no go! It hangs on postcode (Freezes on postcode C1=Detect memory, Auto-detection of DRAM size, type and ECC, Auto-detection of L2 cache). After that I have to force the timings manually and set the SPD to x8. That's the very first thing I need to do to even get the computer to boot with +1Mhz overclock! I have been working with this for a week now and I still don't get it Latest 13J bios! XMP profile wont do anything. I have to set the tRAS and tRC.After that = OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Dustin Posted November 13, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 13, 2013 I don't like doing this, but frankly... Again, you're running higher speed memory than the CPU is specced for, and it's non-ECC. This is the time where you tell the doctor "it hurts when I do this" and the doctor tells you "so don't do that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the time where you tell the doctor "it hurts when I do this" and the doctor tells you "so don't do that." yeah i understand :). Well i cant run them lower then X8 SPD :/ This has to do with the uncore that has to be 1.5xSPD. I don't have that low multiplier on the uncore. It starts at 12x if I remember correctly. Don't have the frequency at 12x uncore but it's above 1.5x Maybe i need to buy another kind of rams like 1333mhz then? And the bus speed is 1333Mhz Intel spec nr:SLBZJ Stepping :B-1 CPUID :0x000206C2 Core freq : 2.13 Intel QuickPath Interconnect (GT/s) :5.86 DDR3 (MHz) :1333 DDR3L (MHz) :1333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewiruz Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 I have a question again as i need to figure out if its memory related. As i get errors when running memtest (Overclocked). I will for sure run then in stock also before i get new sticks Can i mix 3 TR3X6G1600C9 with 3 new CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 without any issue ? I mean if i run the old sticks in three slots and the new in the other three slots?

I mean if i run the old sticks in three slots and the new in the other three slots? There is no way to tell if any two random kits are going to work together or not. Corsair does not suggest or support mixing kits, even if it was a second kit of the same exact memory. Let alone adding three individual unmatched sticks to the mix. I would advise against it. I don't think it's your memory at all. And two things really stand out...1) Your memory doesn't pass when your CPU is overclocked, and 2) It was fine with your other processor. If memory is going to fail it's going to fail at any speed not just above 1333mhz. If you really want to test out the memory, then try testing each stick individually in the first slot with memtest86+.(dont use HCi's memtest pro) in the first slot. Let each stick run for a couple of passes or until you get an error. If they all come up clean, then your issues are somewhere else. If they all fail, your issue lies somewhere else because the odds of all three sticks failing at the same time is slim to you better buy a lottery ticket! ;) .The turbo boost running up and down and i can see that the noise is coming from the up and down clocks in HWinfo. You might consider pulling the CPU to look for bent pins in the socket. This could also potentially be the root of all your issues. We have seen that happen more than a few times .

I have been looking at the socket in the mobo and it looks okay. Also the cpu looks ok. I have been running the I7 920 between to check and then back with the Xeon again. I think i will loose my mind here :/ Will try one last thing and that is going back one step in Bios version. I am the only one with this CPU who has this problem. I have seen other with different mem and motherboards succeded go above 4GHz without any ram issue. Thats a memclock way above 1600MHz with 8x SPD. Will try one stick as you suggested. But how long time will it take? Is it that DOS app that takes hours you mean that i need to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees Corsair Dustin Posted November 14, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 14, 2013 Just because it's worked for other people doesn't mean it will work for you. Running anything above spec is a crapshoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The memory functions correctly when you put the 920 back in? Will try one stick as you suggested. But how long time will it take? Is it that DOS app that takes hours you mean that i need to run? Yeh, it boots before the BIOS. It's the only software Corsair recommends to use to test the health of their memory. I think just two passes per module would be plenty ...at least in this situation. There is a link on the left for the download if you need it. One last question...What is your QPI voltage set to with the Xeon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewiruz Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hello. I have managed to get this CPU stable BCLK 200x18 at 3.6GHz and the memory speed is set to 1600MHz with a core temp at Maximum load in prime95 ~72c Well i made a choice and did a reset of bios. Skipped the previous settings and restarted with a blank paper! Sure the Vcore is set to 1.26875V and the QPI/VTT to 1.24V may be a little high, Not sure but that was the magic number to get 1600Mhz out of the mem.... Also memory volt is set to 1.66v manually. Thanks a lot for all the help i have received! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also memory volt is set to 1.66v manually. Thats about right. MY 920 @4.5GHZ with memory runing at 1603mhz requires 1.32v Vcore, 1.4v QPI and 1.65v on the DIMM voltage. As long as your temps are in check you should be good from here on out. Glad you got it all figured out! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
