@freeagent was beating me by like 10c with his FC140 but he blasts air through the case at 3000rpm so he's a sneaky cheater

Yeah, I think he's the only one with a personal wind tunnel in the Great White North.

 

[freeagent]

Lol.. but I moved away from 120x38s, now I just have "regular" 25mm fans

Remember when I said 25mm fans cant move as much air as 38s? Might have been wrong..

But now its so quiet until its not.. I can hear the system on the main floor from the basement when they spool up.. its still quite savage. I was running 7x thick fans for the case, now just down to 4 skinny guys. But they have old man strength haha. I have 2x Thermalright fans to come out and be replaced with iPPC. I might leave my TY-143 installed.. always liked redheads

I need help with squeezing the last bit of juice out of my system now that I have adequate cooling. I have a basic 4.2Ghz overclock on my 3600(old chip not the higher clocking newer ones) and my RAM is just running standard XMP timings cl16@3200. So I'm just looking to push the ram a bit and the IF as I have a little room to grow fps wise with the 3060 Ti@1080p. Not sure if I'll get much out of my board as it's only a Matx Asrock B450 but looking for some guidance on where to start guys please.

Use thaiphoon burner to find out what dies you have. Report back and I can try to help. Even with low tier dies a 10-20% fps boost is possible. If you are lucky with die we can talk up to 30%.

I'm currently in the same situation, tinkering with my 3600 I can reach 4.2@1.25v. Not sure if its fully stable yet but I plan to run Prime95 overnight to check.

Any advice on good achievable OC going forward? I personally dont want to run more than 1.3v vcore.

Kinda tempted to temporarily buy a D15 from Amazon and see exactly how far off I am in performance, exact same brackets I think, I can fit it as long as I don't put the side panel on but the rational side of my brain is screaming after the failed outcome of the last CPU cooler escapade

When the C14S has two fans, the two coolers weigh in about the same at 1.3kg

In that Cerebus case, a EK 240 Basic will give you so much more room to work with other hardware and will drop temps better that a D15. Not to mention the cost is about the same and the installation is ridiculously easy. If you order from EK directly, it will ship for free from Italy with an extra goodie or 2 in the box and never takes more than 5 business days to the US

Why do Asus motherboards have a TPM header? Long story short, I ended up buying a TPM module to fit the header on the motherboard just to find out that I didn't need it in the first place I feel really mad

I brought my Ryzen PC earlier this year, motherboard was a MSI A320-M Pro with a 3100 Ryzen CPU 3.6GHz quad core, GTX 1650 SUPER 4GB graphics and 8gbCorsair Vengeance 3000Mhz Memory. I have had to send it back because of the quirkiness of how some games work on it. Just Cause 3 for example speeds up and slows down. I think there's some kind of buffering issue going on and it's the same with Ghost Recon Wildlands. Hopefully I'll get it back soon.

Last time i posted here i was still smoking (cigarettes) & just got into liquid cooling (EKWB). Just dropping few pics of some components of my soon-to-be-built rig. Will make a nice video of me building & testing it, once all components are bought (case, CPU, SSD, the lot). Pics:

Mobo (Aorus X570 Xtreme):

RAM (HyperX Predator 2x8GB 4000MHz):

Will serve me till 2023, AMD's AM5 & Intel's 7nm (if not 5nm) CPUs will be available by then. Yes i know, the RAM is called Predator. Next salary will be buying me 5900X & case (be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev. 2).

P.S. Recently (April 17) finished the fully qualified (approved ?) electrician course (3x80A), that's one of the many reasons i was absent here. Plus i quit smoking in November of 2019.

nice way to turn your life around. no smoking and a high in demand high paying field. well done mate! I used to struggle in life too, now I have two jobs that I love and a bright future. Life is what we make of it. Be disciplined with the money you make, money is freedom.

Sorry to tell you @YautjaLord but you haven't bought any Kingston ram you have a set of HP HyperX

Seems like i did, shit happens i guess. Completely forgot HyperX is the brand of it's own, plus also forgot the year when it stopped being subsidiary of Kingston. Thx.

No fun in clogging up your lungs at all. And yes, it is high in demand & in pay profession. Thanx mate.

I wouldn't recommend more than 1.3v for an all core, but we can't say with certainty how high your particular chip will overclock. Silicon lottery, so you'll have to do your own testing. Zen 2 SKUs released in 2020 - the Ryzen 3s and the XT bins - tend to clock higher at lower voltages.

But do you absolutely require Prime stability? I used to swear by Prime. I wouldn't call an overclock stable until it passed multiple hours of small FFTs with AVX/2 on. But the same overclock that failed in Prime can be perfectly stable in many other - and more realistic - scenarios. Prime is a nifty tool, but for all practical purposes, it's just a tool.

I'd recommend testing with real apps then. Rather than asking "is my overclock Prime-stable?" the question should perhaps be "is it stable in the software I use?"

Watch your temps, and as long as you don't exceed your chip's rated EDC by much, you should be fine.

Well, it certainly is better, because the D15 and the side panel would be mutually exclusive

I'll have to sit on that for a bit. An AIO could be tricky. If I want to keep the SFX Internal layout, I'd have to put the rad at the bottom which isn't good. If I want to go SFX Rear as I probably should, I could put the rad in the front but I'd need to get the plate. But either way I won't have a way to get any airflow to the B-die so that won't work.

Not to mention I won't have any exhaust with SFX Rear, since I cannot fit any fans in the top of the case bc Unify-X heatsinks.

That was my line of thinking as well. 1.3v max and aim for 4.2-4.3ghz depending on temps.

Great point on Prime usage. Personally its a habit but now that I think about I rarely stress my CPU the way Prime does. Usage will mainly be gaming, coding, media consumption and some PCB design. I think I will switch to some lighter cpu or cpu+gpu benchmarks. OCCT seems like a nice option.

P.S. What do you guys think about ClockTuner for Ryzen? some people swear by it and some swear at it. It seems like it just automates the OC steps for you but the different auto-applied profiles for different loads look like a best of both worlds (All core OC + higher single core speed).

 

[tabascosauz]

So I'm guessing this daily 2000MHz stuff is still strictly a single CCD affair only?

Felt like I had to try it at least once so as not to disgrace my board. Not interested in artificially suppressing WHEAs, just wanted the screenshot

It seems like it! I plugged my 5600 back in for fun.. she is still a ripper

Okay......idling at 23C.........I think I know what's going on here.........you keep all your windows open in winter?

But since I fixed my C14S the core idle temps are back to about 26-27C now, similar to what I had on the 3700X. Can't get idle power below about 25-30W though, SOC is a hog at 1.125V (3-4W more than your 1CCD)

 

[Muaadib]

Using CTR, I managed to set 4.25@1.25v all core and 4.3@1.325 burst. Now to see if its stable. Also looking forward to see if there is any headroom left when I get my Fuma 2 soon.

I have a set of two HyperX before they were HP's. A bit thicker than I'd like but no complaints so far!

Sheesh my air con is set to 30°c and that's cold for me

Where I can get a full aida64 for my personal use and only to see if I got improvements on ram? I want to start my ram oc but I need this to check values before and after

I have a lifetime key from eons ago, I’m not sure how much it costs but it can’t be much.

Is that 278 GFlops per core or all cores? I get 200 on my i5 4690k at 4.3GHz(183 minimum of the tests I ran). Per core then that's just a 38% improvement. Is it worth it for me to upgrade to this CPU?

 

[outpt]

Well I find out today why my 5800x would not act like it should. I saw the light when my power supply went out in a flash of glory. Took it apart and it’s gone to ps heaven. What a bunch of cooked parts. Needed a new one anyway whether I needled it or not

On my 5900X @ 4500 its over 500GFlops.. Dual CCD at play there I think..

I came from a 3770K, I guarantee the 5600X would smack the shit out of your 4690..
