![]() So based on what I'd read and what I tend to do, I estimated a cooling-solution strategy in terms of the temperatures, risks - pros and cons. On the other hand, I think of a system BIOS as my own wading pool of discovery. I'd been watching threads and posts here on this basic Z170 Skylake-K theme for overclocking and cooling - maybe for a good part of a year before I "executed my Great Plan." Now here are the temperature screenshots from different settings to give you a detailed idea about what nonsense I just written above.įull Stock Settings (XMP Disabled, RAMs run off to a good start in building my own i7-6700K with an ASUS Sabertooth "S" model. So the question is, I want to use my RAMs at 3000 MHz obviously, but I want to maintain that stock like temp as well, is there any way to do that? I know the most obvious shot is to reduce the voltage, but to what extent? I am ONLY looking to OC my RAMs, that's it, I do not want to touch any CPU settings if that was possible. And when I disable XMP then I think the voltage is 1.2V, but I am not sure about that. Then when I don't use that option and use the Intel stock option, even though the temps are much lower, I still see DRAM voltage at same rate of 1.35V. Now the question, when I enable All Core Enhancement it does something to the CPU as well, I don't know what, but I see that the DRAM voltage is set to 1.35V automatically. The app used to stress the CPU was something called HeavyLoad. But then I disabled XMP altogether and the max temps were even more low, ~5✬, from even Intel settings. Then I used the Stock Intel settings from the XMP profile, and the max temps were reduced by ~9-10✬, which is a lot. ![]() Now my board is Asus Z170 Pro, and when you select XMP from Ai Tweaker you are basically given a pop up message saying whether you want All Core Enhancement, or Stock Intel settings, I was advised to use the former, so was using it without any problems at all for this long, but yesterday thought about checking temps and all, and then I found that the max temp was hitting 75-74✬, which I found a little bit on the higher side. You see that I have a G.Skill RAM (F4-3000C15D) which is basically 3000 MHz but as motherboard can't support it natively I am forced to use the XMP profile. ![]() First of all my system is in my signature. ![]()
