So I got a Asus crosshair impact, I can't decide if to fit it's worth the effort now.

If they've updated the PCB with a new revision in line with B550 then it should be a seriously good mem OC board. Wanna see it! What case/bench is it going into?

The Impact's price really came down, huh...last time I checked it was $600cad plus and now it's just $400...a heckin deal. It's just a shame it isn't compatible with my C14S.

Decided it was time to try something else. Gigabyte AD27QD to FV43U! I need to do some tweaking here and there I suppose. So far it's a pretty awesome experience. Might change to the M28U, not sure. Never mind the crap I had to clear my desk :p @GreiverBlade , nice charger! I've got the 4x 18650 charger that's been making funny load noises since 2020 :laugh:

Watercool the memory! I'll fund it (partially)! I really want to see how far it can be pushed, you've gotten a great set :D Wonder if it scales with voltage and temps. My b-die bitches when it gets over 37c
I can already move the mem kit to a scorching 6133Mhz - 6.1GHz, just need to duplicate this guy's bios settings in this video below.

I can do it On Air and get some super screenshots for you guys, but I would never run that as a daily OC.

But it will be fun to replicate, I'll do it this week.

This video, I can do this - same mobo same mem kit. :)

Ehhhhhhh, your kit might be able to but keep the temps under control. B-die can tickled but REALLY dislikes temps over 40-45cc in my experience. DAMN IT, you just made me look at way too expensive kits.

I think his 1.6V kit isn't B-die, it's DJR. CL22 or something like that. I'm not sure G.skill has binned any of the B-die SKUs for over 1.55V in the new wave of Royals and Royal Elites. I keep on hearing 45C but personally all 3 of my kits almost instantly destabilize at 50C. If it was 45C I would be so boned :laugh:

Yea, my DDR4 4800/17 b-die kit ran out of clock speed at 5066Mhz 17 17 17 37. It's an extremely versatile kit since you can also dial in gear1 3866/14 any time you want.

A wonderful Samsung kit, most likely the last and most extreme extent of DDR4 b-die that will ever exist.

I'm guessing I'm now more of a Mhz guy, than a super-low latency guy, since 5600Mhz CL21 feels so much faster for my work apps than any other bios profile.

5866Mhz CL22 also feels superb, but I need to put some hours into it before considering it as a daily. :oops:

What is stock voltage for your ram? 1.6-1.65? What can it do with 1.7-1.8v? Just lay a fan on them :cool:

5333Mhz CL20 1.600v
5600Mhz CL21 1.625v
5866Mhz CL22 1.725v Yeow! :eek:

I've only tested three 2hour intervals and it was 94F outside today geez. Thermals were 32C - 34C since the Noctua fan blows directly down onto the memory ddr4 modules.

I believe the higher binned modules are extremely silicon-efficient.

Can they last a 10hour workday at 1.725volts? probably not, I can add another/separate dedicated 140mm Noctua Industrial fan mounted to the fan bracket that arrived with the test bench.

With the advise of the people in this forums, I have bought some items they have suggested.

Some cheapo no-named 45 and 90 degree brass fittings I can find. 2$ each and they dont leak. I honestly cant find the difference from named brands.

View attachment 210608

Some 90 degree non rotary fittings from Bykski. $10 USD for 4 of em. Another 3 port rotary fitting from Barrow for $6. And a flow meter that would be used as a mini-res for around $8USD.

View attachment 210609


Just waiting for the PU 13mm tubing to re-do the loop.

wait, how the heck are you using the flow meter as a mini res?

I should send you my Royals so you can tell me how fast they will go with an Intel setup :D

Also, I find chasing numbers to be a little more fun than gaming these days, it can be just as addictive..

The rest of intels 11th gen might be poopy, but the mem controllers seem awesome from what you've achieved

does the speed show up outside of synthetic testing in anything?

If they've updated the PCB with a new revision in line with B550 then it should be a seriously good mem OC board. Wanna see it! What case/bench is it going into?

The Impact's price really came down, huh...last time I checked it was $600cad plus and now it's just $400...a heckin deal. It's just a shame it isn't compatible with my C14S.

PXL_20210801_004934617[1].jpg


My pc needs a service and commander pro adding back in any way, but I would have to buy a CPU block as the monoblock of the CV7 wouldn't fit plus i would have half the memory, the bonus being i could reuse the mobo with a R5 2600(if I refit a pin well), I thought I should air cool my vega for easy removal too. but i am not sure i would gain anything at all, besides RGB control again.

I got a great deal on a memory upgrade for my server...



...a 4x8GB kit of PC3-12800E memory from Kingston for $77 after shipping and tax.



It seems my theory about memory capacity directly affecting the speed of a ZFS array was correct. I ran CrystalDiskMark set to an 8GB test file, and performance was much better (with 8GB of RAM, CrystalDiskMark showed significantly lower sequential performance when set to a 4GB test file). Write performance even showed a moderate improvement.


It does only run at 1333MHz because of Sandy Bridge, but that really doesn't matter.

I haven't been able to run a memory test yet, but so far, this upgrade looks great.

The rest of intels 11th gen might be poopy, but the mem controllers seem awesome from what you've achieved

does the speed show up outside of synthetic testing in anything?
I don't think AIDA 64 even knows how to read the Hynix Z590 5333Mhz DDR4 kits yet, it's only been 6weeks, not enough time to mature - AIDA needs an update.

11900K was off my list - 8 thermally inefficient cores I most likely could not cool with a simple Noctua heatsink.

Yea agree 100%, Rocket Lake is a very weird one. Grab a 6core 11600K cheap if you can get by with only 12threads and take advantage of the wonderful IMC.

But then you can only do a Per-Core overclock like 5.3 5.2 5.1 5.0 5.0 5.0, RKL all core overclocks run too damn hot on air. :oops:

sounds like zen 3, at least people have figured out the best way to tweak PBO by now


Oh and more on topic: Got my new EK coolants in, as well as a bunch of extenders, fittings, and accesories
i wanna use an extender or two and tidy the line from CPU to GPU, but the new coolant is in, with a flow meter and hidden filter to stop my damn CPU block clogging up (EK mystic fog + second hand rad and pump = oh god why wont you flush out already - you can see some still in the goddamn GPU block after 3 flushes and cleanings, the pump i got had hidden goop)

wait, how the heck are you using the flow meter as a mini res?
Saw the idea on my thread where he removed the spinning thinggie and placed it at the top. This might help the air gap in my GPU block since this will be the highest point of the loop. I also have to remove the spinner since there's an aluminum rod in it.

Been working a lot and treated myself. Finally went to a gtx 1080 from a 970. A pretty good upgrade. The Asus Strix model is slick and cools VERY well. It's the one w/ 11Gbps memory instead of 10. :cool: About the cooling, idles at sub-35C w/ the fans off, Load temp is sub-70C. 2 intake fans nearby to help.
For only $48, doubled my ram to 32GB for almost no reason :laugh:. Also purchased a Razer Deathadder "essential" 6400 dpi mouse for only $20 on sale.
(gifted) Razer Kraken Ultimate headset. Like it so far. Much better than the older on-ear headset I had. Haven't really tested the 7.1 surround sound mode, as I'm so accustomed to plain stereo sound for a long time since I had surround setups w/ a TV.

Scientifically speaking you don't actually NEED a reservoir in any water loop, you can use the gravity high point in your custom loop ie: top cap of a multi-port rad - same purpose same function.

Open it while bleeding the initial fill to let the loop air escape and open it to see if your coolant is low.

But reservoirs are fun.

Decided it was time to try something else. Gigabyte AD27QD to FV43U! I need to do some tweaking here and there I suppose. So far it's a pretty awesome experience. Might change to the M28U, not sure. Never mind the crap I had to clear my desk :p @GreiverBlade , nice charger! I've got the 4x 18650 charger that's been making funny load noises since 2020 :laugh:
What you need is a desk to start with, that looks like a school bench...
