As you know, my 1700 couldn't (well, not consistently) hit 3200 on my gskill 3200c14 memory so I decided to buy another and swap it out last night.
Result?
3200c14 ram first time every time. Nothing has changed but the CPU.
Obviously not conclusive by any means, but food for thought.
Well, good news. Of sorts.
Setting VTT_DDR didn't have any effect BUT raising the DDR startup voltage from 1.37 to 1.43 (!) did. It now reboots 3 times and starts up in 3200C14. I'm assuming each F9 reboot it trains with slightly looser subtimings every time?
However, the good news we can...
For us unfortunate ones that cannot hit 3200 even with the fabled G.Skill 3200c14 B-Die, do you think this will be permanent?
I've tried both the straight multiplier to run the RAM at 3200 with 100 blck, and with raising the blck, but every time I end up in an "F9" POST loop which eventually...
Saying that, there's a user on Overclock.net you says his chip as a "hole" from 3200 to about 3350 I think it was; he can't post at 3200 but can at 3400.
Just have to wait and see what the new AGESA enabled BIOSs bring I guess.
(off topic, but how the heck do I remove/change that signature...
I can't get my 1700 to even boot with 3200 RAM speed set.
I just get the 5 "F9" power cycles then it reboots with 2133 default settings.
I've got the G.Skill 3200C14 everyone else seems to have and I too think it's a CPU limitation; you're overclocking the fabric so that's probably as much...
I'm extremely happy to report that the USB isolator completely fixed it!
I can now play musics AND GAMES through my little dot, woo hoo!
Thanks again for everyone, yes even those insisting it was EMI lol (jk, I thought it was at first, too)
Thanks for this, and thank you everyone for your suggestions and for being patient with me; I do know I've been quite stubborn on this one.
I've come to a conclusion tho, I don't think I'm going to be able to do a system wide fix, I'm not competent or indeed confident enough with electronics...
I'm fairly confident your hypothesis is correct as you've just described a ground loop, which is what I've been saying all along :)
I don't really want to use the E11K for the desktop, I'm just using it to test; I've got a Little Dot tube amp that I want to use for the desktop, but that's...
I do get your logic, but the question remains how come I can only hear the EMI when I use a grounded device? The E11k has no interference when it's running from battery, only whilst charging from a internal USB port.
Ninja Edit: And I can't hear it through headphones directly into the...
