Hi!
I built this new system a month ago. I thought it was stable but I'm having strange issues, mostly at idle, but I think it's random. I'll just copy what I wrote on XtremeSystems.
I'm now having problems with my OC, and I started blaming the Motherboard.
To get my 3820 stable at 4625Mhz I've used 1.44V Load on LinX. I've also tested Prime95 with AVX, and it's good for at least 2 hours (I didn't test more).
It works perfectly as long as I don't let the PC idle for a long time, because it will freeze. It's randomly crashing, with no BSoD, just a system freeze. Also, I've noticed a very strange behavior, sometimes when it freezes my hole home network crash. I have a 8-port 1gbps switch and a 5-port 1gbps router with DD-WRT, 4 servers connected at 1gps (some of them with 2 NICs), a vCenter Server 5.1, 2 ESXi, 2 VMware Worstations 9, a lot of VMs. EVERYTHING STOPS WORKING while the PC is freezed. I have to power down my 3820 to recover networking operation on my LAN. You simply CAN'T PING TWO COMPUTERS ON THE SAME SWITCH when my i7 3820 crashes!!! It looks like it is storming the network. It's driving me nuts.
I have tested 4625Mhz at 1.475V just to be sure (1.44 is stable). But it failed.
I have lowered from 4625Mhz to 4500Mhz (36x multi, 125Mhz) and 1.44v (just to be sure). But it failed.
I have changed the RAM latency from C9 1T to C10 2T (it's memtest86 stable at C9 1T). But it failed.
It fails randomly, mostly on idle, or when... when I'm playing tetris![Uhh](https://www.tweaktownforum.com/core/images/smilies/uhh.gif)
Never on heaven, prime, linx...
Any ideas? Suggestions?
The BIOS version is F12T, the latest BETA. The same problem was happening with the F12Q BIOS.
Edit:
Some additional information. Sleep is disabled, so it is not related to that. C1E and all the power-related features are Enabled, but they were disbled, I've enabled those features for testing. The behavior is the same, the system will randomly crash (once a day or two), mostly at idle or with low load.
