Got it thru Reddit, installed and working fine. Saved presets from 5406 are not working, gonna have to do all refining later on when I fix problem with cooling. For now only DOCP is set but not optimized, PBO is off for now.
Somewhat because of PBO off and high temps (up to 82c under load), CB r20 score is down to 4760 instead of usual 5000+.
Hope that those improvements are going to let me run RAM faster than now, 3600GHz and Cl16.
Finally changed cooler to Arctic Liquid freezer II 240. Had all kinds of troubles with it but finally noticed that a hole in backplate (original with MB from Asus had one thread stripped and pump wasn't holding flat and tight to CPU. Replaced that one with smaller diameter screw and a nut for now, don't have decent TIM paste to do it now but will have to take everything out and drill and tap for screws of larger diameter.
Temps were climbing to 80c+and frequency wouldn't go over 4GHz so benchmarks were dismal. Now it's still hitting 70c and goal is to keep it under 65c for best boost.
With my OC through CCX i see 81c max but when i changed the settings and ran a few benches it went up to 83c
I left CCX VID auto i normally set it right under my core voltage that is where it lightens up
X73 Kraken is doing pretty well keeps temps within range i just worry about the liquid reaching 42c while gaming but CPU temps go from 58-62c Gaming ?????
