I pushed up vDIMM (AB and CD) to 1.5v, and vSoC to 1.35v, but still the same Prime95 errors @ 3200 Mhz. Trying at lower speeds now. Update: lowered vSoC to 1.2v (but kept vDIMM at 1.5v) after reading warnings not to push that too high. Prime95 appears to have no errors @ 2900 Mhz. A far cry so...

I returned the Hynix-based Corsair Vengeance LPX and ordered the LPX version recommended above by the stilt (they are both almost exactly the same price, about $1650). Here's the Thaiphoon summary: So this is indeed Samsung B-die. And I was immediately able to boot at 3066Mhz whereas before...

Nobody does it in my line of work (social science).

Lots of Monte Carlo simulations that I do with R and a variety of packages written by academics.

I'm doing exactly that. The price difference between the 3000 Ghz Hynix LPX that I have and the 3600 Mhz Samsung LPX that the Stilt suggested is $50. Easy. I wonder, too, if memory prevented me from overclocking my 1950X. I kept getting errors in Prime95 with any setting over stock, even with...

Yeah -- didn't know as much as I now do -- plus wanted to order from Amazon. So what's the consequence of only getting 2400 Mhz as opposed to say 3000 in scientific workloads? Is it worth the bother to send this back, etc? I do see that the Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz suggested above is about the...

I purchased a 128Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000MHz kit from Amazon for my 1950X plus Zenith Extreme build: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019X5RN84/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The problem is that I can only boot without problems either with 64Gb of RAM installed at 3000 MHz...

I'm putting together a workstation for MCMC computation via R as well and I'm wondering how well the build you put together has worked out for you. I'm looking at dual 2630v4 Xeons.

My computer recently froze. I rebooted, but ... now every time I boot up Windows, the machine reboots itself early in the boot process, before it even gets to the login screen. I am able to get the boot selection page by pressing F8 on bootup, but all options lead to this reboot: Safe Mode, Last...

DVDtalk.com is great. Thanks!

Tried searching for $10 coupon but can't find it. Any hints?
