[QUOTE=henryzz;445844]Next job once I am back from interview. Assuming that it fails with the updated bios.[/QUOTE]

Henry, good luck for the interview.

After updating the bios it just passed 7 hours of blend which is a record. It is cool in the room currently which could have helped. Hopefully this means problem solved. I wish I had just done this update ages ago.

I'm going to torture-test the HP after I get it all set-up and running. It says run it for, at least, 24 hours, so that is what I will do.

Seems to be running stable with the memory at 3000 now as well. Need to watch it when applying the spd settings. It also did several cpu optimizations which included putting the TDP limit to max. With Prime95 28.9 running full tilt with the memory at 3000 the cooling couldn't cope with this. I have put the limit back to 95W.
I have done this testing with it around 26C ambient for a bit. The usual max is 23C.
I will leave it overnight like this and then will start reducing voltages. It would be nice to stop it TDP throttling.

You must be using something exotic to cool this with. 23C to 26C is in the 70's on the Fahrenheit scale.

"ambient" = surrounding temperature, i.e. room temperature. I hope it's in the 70s!

Ambient. I had just got home from a long work day. I saw but I didn't see. I've never gotten accustom to the Celsius scale. 0°C freezes water and 100°C boils water. However, I look at it every day on my display. I have a hardware monitor app that displays CPU and GPU temperatures. It's all in Celsius. Everything on this idles at around 40°C. When I see that, I know all is well.

I hope this isn't taken as my telling you how to chew gum, but I would highly advise you run DCs during this experimental period (if you aren't already).

Just because a machine doesn't crash doesn't necessarily mean it is producing good results. This doesn't matter for gamers (or, frankly, most users) but it does matter for compute.

celsius is basically coding of 0 = 32F and +1=+1.8F

Once I have gotten it to where I think it is stable(with lower voltages) that is my first task.

I have been surprise by how low VCCIO and the system agent voltage could go.

Defaults after applying XMP profile
DRAM: 1.35v
VCCIO: 1.125v
System agent: 1.2v
CPU: Default

The system seems to be stable at:
DRAM: 1.30v
VCCIO: 0.95v
System agent: 1.00v
CPU: Default-0.03v

More testing is needed especially for the CPU voltage. My VCCIO and System agent voltage seem lower than anything I have seen online for >2133 memory. Away for the weekend so will probably get back to this Sunday evening/Monday.
