i recently installed a new fx-9590 cpu, crosshair v formula z motherboard and corsair h100i v2 240mm water cooler. initially i had issues with random crashes and cheanged a few things in bios and it all seemed fine. i can play black ops 3 for hours on end on pretty high settings and same with a few other games. my issue first started when i was playing hitman. i was playing fine for most of a day then *boom* hard hang.. i rebooted and everything seemed fine in bios and temps read ok. so i relaunched the game. it periodically hangs seeming to be random but i dont think it is.. a few days later doom was released and i had access to my preorder. i downloaded and played for 10-15 hours of gp with no issue. then again. hard hang. it now does it periodically. sometimes 10 minutes. sometimes 30. sometimes 1-3 hours but innevitably it still does it. i have tried stressing with p95. the first attempt it passed the 640k test then hung. every attempt since has resulted to not seeing all 8 workers hitting the first test successfully. i have tried various settings in bios but nothing works. any help would be appreciated.

specs are:
nzxt phantom full e-atx tower
crosshair v formula z motherboard
amd fx-9590
12gb corsair vengeance 1600 (manually set to 1.5v 9-9-9-24 timings, t2 command)
corsair rm1000 psu
xfx r9 390 8gb card (not oc)
corsair h100i v2 240mm watercooler (fit at the top of chassis below 2x 200mm fans in a push/pul config)

You would get slightly better results at 5.00Ghz but creep up to it slow. Try 4.9GHz first at same settings.
You pic shows Corsair Link at idle. Temps would be in the 65-70C range during the Benchmark.
A screen shot with HWMonitor "open" during the benchmark will give me better info.
HeHe were not done yet my friend.

So far on Rog realbench it's run 41minutes of a 2hour stress using the "upto" 16gb ram" setting so as to use everything. Temps are holding stable @72c socket temp. 65.4cpu temp. Gpu is holding @73c and nothing abnormal. No freeze or anything so far.

So just got back in. Pc passed it without crashing. The Tempsford I gave before were just the highest. And actual readings were a little below. Running it through hit man now d3d12 @3200x1800 high/ultra as this was the game that mainly failed playthtough for longerrors than 1-2 hours.

OK sounds good and Realbench results are promising cause if you can pass the stress test and complete the benchmark, you are stable.
BTW: That Qcode 30 you are getting is when the system comes out of sleep mode . It is not an error.

The best test for your DIMMs is Memtest86+. Load it onto your USB stick and boot from the USB.
If your obsessed then another good tester is AIDA64. It is a trial for free app. I think for a month. Choose to just test your CPU.

ok so got back from germany today. had a hella time at rock am ring. much beer and rum was drunk and i also crowd surfed during amon amarth 😛 so anyway back on point. downloaded mirrors edge catalyst and played on ultra settings for over 5 hours now and no issue. i think the heat from the cpu caused the foam mod we made for the cooler to shrink releaesing pressure from the cpu and thus causing crashes when the cpu over heated. ive tested doom before i left and also hitman and nada.. so everything seems cool. how about those tweaks you mentioned? i should be able to reach 5.0ghz with my setup.

OK first the method.
With your current Bios settings, save a profile in Bios Tools section, in case things go belly up.
You must complete each phase of your OC in small steps for both frequency and voltages.
After each change in Bios, conduct a stress test. There is a point (The WALL) where no matter what you do, you will not achieve stability.
If successful at current Tweak, save another profile.

Go to>Extreme Tweaker Menu. We are going to try for 4.8GHz.
CPU ratio: 24 = 4.8GHz (use the +or- keys)
Ai Overclock Tuner>set to Manual
Disable AMD Turbo Core Technology
Digi+Power Control
Load Line Calibration: High 75%
CPU Current Capability: 120%
CPU Power Phase Control: Manual Adjustment
CPU Power Switching Frequency: Manual
VRM Fixed Frequency Mode: 300KHz
CPU Power Duty Control: Extreme
CPU Power Response: Medium

Disable EPU

Go to Tool Menu->Asus SPD information]
Note your XMP profile. Write down Primary Timings and voltage info.
Go to>Extreme Tweaker Menu>Dram Timing Control
Manually enter the first four timings,and set the Command Rate.
Don't change any other frequencies or voltages and leave all other settings on auto for now. Do not make any arbitrary changes.
Save and exit Bios. The system will switch off momentarily and make the adjustments. Cross fingers.
If successful, save the profile in your BIOS profile page and call it 'stable'
Conduct a stress test as you have done before.

Next try for 5.0GHz. Multiplier to 25 with same Bios settings.
You may have to increase core voltage if unsuccessful.
Report the result.

so ok. save profile then. reset to stock before entering these setting yes? also when i stress after how long should i run realbench stress for? and how many runs on the benchmark?

First try using the Bios changes I have recommended. If you clear your CMOS you may loose your saved profile and we don't want that, as you are pretty stable with what you have. I will research that possibility.
Initial stress testing for 15mins, NO benchmark runs at this time.

i meant save the current profile then use the "use optimised defaults"option. then enter the settings youve given?

ok i will do later on when im back. and will report back with results. with my cpu cooler how high do you think im able to go?

Not much above 5.00GHz. The problem will arise with the heat generated by the VRMs under load and extra cooling would be required, Multitasking and rendering at 5.0GHz is very good and performance in games will come down to your GPU.

EKW can provide a solution for the VRMs if you are that enthusiastic. However if you are stable at 5.0GHz there is little your system won't handle.
For the extra 100-200MHz its not worth it and little to be gained.

Lets see how you go at 4.8GHz first.

failed stress with realbench after 30 seconds @5.0ghz

Please indicate what your temps got to at 4.8GHz and 5.0GHz to determine thermal efficiency.

OK change these settings and test again set at 5.0GHz
LLC: on Ultra High
CPU VDDA: Up the voltage in small increments from what you have to 2.6v but no higher.
If you pass the test at 2.6v then back-off voltage a little till no longer stable.
Increase voltage again till stable and that is your MAX OC with the cooling you have.

During testing constantly watch you temps and stop the test if it reaches 70c+ as this is the point where the system will stop the test and indicate the OC failed.
Report your results.
Its all a matter of rinse and repeat till you get your max stable OC and takes time and patience.

max temps for for 4.8 on cpu were 83.8 (recorded using hwinfo64) i had already set llc to ultra high (75%) as you specified high (75%) but high was actually 50%. last night i rolled it back to 4.8 to await what you said. everything seemed fine. i played fallout 4 on ultra settings for hours like (6+) then watched a movie with no issue. today the pc froze whilst typing this originally then again it froze oin reboot as i was trying to type my login password on the win10 login screen. ive saved the 4.8 profile into another slot but rolled it back to the stable 4.7 profile.

Certain settings in Bios are set on Auto and can actually change what was a stable OC when you reboot. You will need to check in Bios using your 4.8GHz profile and statically set values from the values in the left column and set those values where it says Auto. That's the only reason I can think of that would cause what you describe. There may be a couple more changes I can suggest.

In Extreme Tweaker Menu> CPU VDDA Voltage = 2.55V

You are close however if temps keep raising above 70C+ then you would have to conclude that your Cooler is not up to it.
I have a H110 and that copes ok at the setting ive sudgested

Yes don't go into the red. Take it to max value in yellow. Keep an eye on your temps again when stress testing.

You are close to the point of MAX OC for your chip.
If you are stable, I will suggest settings to allow the system to cool down when its not necessary when not under load to save energy.

Ok will do that now. Some of the values fluctuate. So im unsure what to set for those. Also max yellow amo7nt for cpu manual voltage is 1.493750 volts. Is it ok to be under 1.5?
