I just bought this board and gpu since my last ones died so I'm probably gonna stick with what I've got for now until the next upgrade cycle comes around, haha.

That's my thought as well. I really appreciate the help though, mate.

Yeah, it only goes to 4, I double checked just to be sure.

My LLC doesn't go any higher than 4. I can try dialing the voltage down but it has crashed every time in Realbench so far. Here are some pics from the BIOS, there are a bunch of settings in the DRAM section that I haven't touched at all, but I put them in anyways in case they're important. I...

81C max both for the 15 min FFT as well as an overnight test with Blend. Memory is default 2133, no XMP. I agree, it seems like everyone and their sister can get stable 4.5-4.7 with a tithe of what mine needs. Most of the test is spend somewhere south of 1.3-ish, I'm assuming it spikes up at...

I have afterburner installed but it's not active when I run the tests. I even disable steam and origin before I run anything. Just tested 4.5 at 1.38V, passed prime, ran for ~30 min of Realbench before BSOD with a system service exception for dxgkrnl.sys. The whole prime test the Vcore was rock...

It's clocked slightly higher by default but I haven't done anything to it, yet. Today is my Friday so hopefully tomorrow I should be able to get some good testing in.

Yep. Running for 1 Hr at 8GB which is half of my RAM.

Gigabyte 2060 Gaming OC Pro 6GB

Yeah, lesson learned there. I'm definitely not done trying, it just takes so long to do each test and there are only so many hours after work, haha. I'll cross check your BIOS values with mine again, although I think I've got about as much translated into mine as I could. Disabling Intel's...

The real kicker is I cancelled my first order for a z170 Gaming 7 for the one I have now because the Gigabyte was only Like New and I wasn't sure I trusted it. I had hoped the newer hardware would make up the difference.

Well I didn't have much time to play with it last night, but long story short I'm pretty sure I lost the lotto (again) with this chip, so I'm now 2/2. My 4.4 GHz test passed thermals and stress but it looks like 4.5 may as well be on the moon. I was able to get I think ~1.37V to pass the 15min...

Silly problem, the link here: http://windows-downloads-center.blogspot.com/2011/04/prime95-266.html for v26.6 64 bit is not valid, and for the life of me I can't seem to find a valid link for anything but the newest version of Prime. Is there another mirror somewhere where I can download the...

One thing of note I forgot to mention, the BCLK for my CPU seems to default in at 100.9 rather than the typical 100.0 flat. Is this intentional or should I manually back it off to 100.0? If nothing else it sets off my OCD when the numbers aren't all nice and even.

BIOS is Version 2.70 which was last updated 3/29/2018 per AsRock's website here: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z270%20Extreme4/index.asp#BIOS I'll do what I can tonight starting from the beginning and see what it looks like. I'll clean off all the monitors and stressers I have installed and...
