Re: Z97X Killer/G3258?
I tried Chicago Micro Center one time and decided the Westmont was a far better alternative. It was but still a challenge. I'm convinced my G3258 just won't hunt over 4GHz at any reasonable voltage. I finally plugged Override CPU Voltage @ 1.30V and it would run @ 4.2GHz - Attached Screen Dump. However, it would not run @ 4.3GHz @ 1.31V. I wonder if the Z97 Extreme6 versus the Z97X Killer MB has something to do with my problem? The BIOS in the Killer MB keeps changing things like LLC and CPU Input Voltage. On the Killer MB LLC is either Enable or Disabled versus the Level 1-5 on the Extreme6 MB. Of course, crashing the system makes strange things happen - I was lucky with the Extreme6/4790K - it just wanted to run at 4.6GHz and I was happy. But...4.4 or 4.0-4.6Ghz is a small jump ~14% compared to 3.2 to 4.0GHz or ~25%. I suppose I can play the the 4.0GHz settings and reduce the Vcore a little bit but Adaptive Mode with a voltage of 1.120V and an override of +0.100V is pretty close to what you suggested...I think.
