i9 10920x on x299 extreme4

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I just checked the supported CPU list for the x299 Extreme4 and it lists all of the Cascade Lake-x cpus, 10900x, 10940x, 10980xe but it does not list the 10920x, is this just an omission in the list or is there something specific to the 10920x that makes it incompatible with this motherboard? 

What brings me to this is that I just installed a 10920x on my extreme4 and it is giving me weird behavior. I had to clear the UEFI settings back to default (after updating to P1.90 uefi version), and then it booted into and installed windows 10 just fine. However, whenever the pc goes to sleep, or if I shut it down, the pc will not boot without clearing the UEFI settings again. It reboots just fine however. 

Another thing, in the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility the utility reports Motherboard VR Thermal Throttling is returning YES and it shows in yellow. This is at stock settings and clocks. If I run the benchmark function of the intel utility, then Current/EDP limit throttling  goes from blue NO to yellow YES as well. 

Also, I found that if I let the benchmark run for long the system just shuts off as if someone held in the power button. This same thing happened to me when I tried to play Doom Eternal, it played for a bit but then shutoff like someone had pulled a plug. The system powers back on after this sort of shutoff, but it will not post because of the above mentioned problem where I have to clear the UEFI settings. Once I clear them, then reload them to where they need to be, it posts into windows just fine. 

I had a i7-7800x on this same board for a couple years and it ran fine, if sluggish. So when I had the opportunity to upgrade to a Cascade Lake-x cpu I took it. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on here? 

The system is cooled by a corsair hydro h100i v2 with 4 120mm fans in push-pull another 3 120mm fans 2 on top and one in the back of the case. I'm running the same G.Skill Trident Z 3200 ram (4x8Gig), the same Samsung m2 ssd, a Samsung sata ssd, a seagate firecuda hdd, a wd blue hdd, a samsung sata hdd, (these are 7200 rpm the firecuda is a hybrid hdd/ssd) and then 6 more sata hdds of various age and capacity. Most of these are laptop drives and are like 5400 rpm drives. The power supply is a PC Power and COoling 850W silencer psu that has done quite well thus far. Video is a nVidia GTX 1070. 

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
