Aurora R15, Stable overclock settings?

What are the stable memory overclock settings for the Alienware R15 with these specs:

Intel 13900KF (25V1M i9-13900K)
64GB DDR5 5200 OEM (2x F1R8M 32GB, DDR5, 5200 MHz, XMP, Kingston XF1R8M-HYM-A)
1350W PSU
4090

Using the Alienware command center for the overclock memory settings.

Stock is 4800 @ 1.1/40/39/39/77.
There are options for: 4800 @ 1.1/38/38/38/70
And: 5200 @ 1.25/40/40/40/80

Stable = being able to boot and run everything that stock can. 

Thank you :)

5200 XMP since you have the 5200 XMP memory although 4800 XMP is already overclocked.

The 5200 setting doesn't boot. So it can't be a stable setting?

Everything is oem, straight from Dell.

Try setting it form within the BIOS. AWCC can be a problem to get it to work.

So are you saying that the 5200 is stable?

What other settings are required for that?

What other settings are required for that? Can the CPU be overclocked too? Or does everything else have to be stock for it to be stable?

5200 XMP should be perfectly Stable. You can use MemtestX86 to test the memory stability, but it should not provide any issues.
Since it's an XMP profile it can be selected from BIOS.

Not sure if you saw this question..
  1. What other settings are required for that?
  2. Can the CPU be overclocked too?
  3. Or does everything else have to be stock for it to be stable?

Just XMP selection is required, as it will load the XMP profile and set it up based on those parameters.
You can overclock the CPU, but I would not recommend it with these systems due to their design.
Always try out 1 thing at a time, otherwise you will not be able to figure out what is causing issues if there is an issue.

  1. What other settings are required for that? No other settings right?
  2. Can the CPU be overclocked too? (for it to boot and be stable) Yes/no?
  3. Or does everything else have to be stock for it to be stable? Yes/no?
I want my system to be stable. At the moment it won't boot using the 5200 settings in AWCC.

@KrisKMrDell​ Don't use AWCC. Set the XMP profile directly in the BIOS.

Once you have the memory working properly you can look at CPU overclocking. If you already have overclocked the CPU or anything else above stock, start with a clean slate and set everything at their defaults and only work on getting the memory 5200 XMP profile to work properly.

@Vanadiel​ I used both. It doesn't boot from BIOS or AWCC.

1. Other settings required? No.
2. No. The cpu cannot be overclocked.
3. Yes. Everything has to be stock.

Answering like this is more helpful than wordy answers. Thank you.

Definitely no XMP settings allow it to boot. Either at 4800 or 5200.

This is a brand new Alienware aurora r15 with all upgrades and 4090.

On stock, it won't boot on any XMP profile through BIOS. It gives me XMP 1 and XMP 2 and either won't work.

On stock, it also won't boot on any memory overclock setting via AWCC. The options are 4800 and 5200. Both don't boot.

Stock is 4800 @ 1.1/40/39/39/77.
There are options for: 4800 @ 1.1/38/38/38/70
And: 5200 @ 1.25/40/40/40/80

As you can see there is no voltage change in the first 4800 option. It's timing only.

Can you please help so that I can use this machine.

@KrisKMrDell​ 

As explained by @DELL-Chris M a while ago in another thread:

Stability issues with the Aurora R15 or Aurora R16 desktops. This problem is impacting every manufacturer shipping products with the Intel 13th and 14th generations of the K CPU. For example, the 13900KF or the 14900KF. Replacing hardware will not fix this.


Current workaround =
* Open the BIOS
* Disable OC Control, Intel Speedshift and Speedstep options
* Once back into Windows, open AWCC and make sure all OC is turned off

@Vanadiel​ 

Ok that is for stock settings right? It already boots on stock fine.

How to get the OC settings. Currently these options won't boot. How to get this to happen?

There are options for: 4800 @ 1.1/38/38/38/70
And: 5200 @ 1.25/40/40/40/80

@KrisKMrDell​ 
It's currently advised not to overclock due to stability issues with the R15 and R16 machines.
