Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5-6000 64 GB CL30

[WonkoTheSaneUK]

When I was hunting for DDR5 for my AM5 build, it really annoyed me that Corsair only provide EXPO profiles on grey RAM sticks.
It doesn't go with black builds, it doesn't go with white builds, it doesn't go with anything!

In the end, I went for 64GB of white Kingston Fury Beast, as seen in the purchase thread.

Next round of CPUs (Zen5). Need a 2-slot B650 Tachyon or ASUS X670 Gene. I have neither and they are already out of production

Then why not use other boards, Asus x670 extreme, ASrock x670e taichi

surely it shouldn't make a massive difference from 2 slot dimm to 4 slot dimm ?

I know ASrock have had the taichi running at 7600mt....

I know the Gigabyte BIOS well Some investigation into this, it seems both Gigabyte and ASRock didn't have it at a launch. MSI and ASUS did. At some point over the course of a year Gigabyte as included tREFi. I just didn't look for it again knowing it wasn't there in the first place. Well it seems now I can do some extra tweaking. Still can't go below tRFC 400 or it hard locks and requires CMOS clear.

Youre approaching the lower limit of 130ns @ddr5 6000, if you were booting below 400 @6200 or higher that won’t ever be usable without extreme voltage.

424 for 6000
440 for 6200
456 for 6400

All of these should be fairly safe (~141ns) for Hynix A-die

There are stability concerns in 2:1 mode for most 2dpc boards; its certainly possible but unless you can stabilize 7600-7800 at c34 you are going to get worse performance than tight (and much easier to achieve) 6000-6400 setups.

Its almost entirely pointless to run 2:1 on a 7800X3D (above 6600 in 1:1) as the single CCD cannot leverage the bandwidth increase. 2:1 high frequency is really only beneficial to dual ccd Zen 4 chips at this point.

Neither of those motherboards will do it for me. I can do 7600 on the Taichi and Hero stable, but that's it. You really do need a 2-slot MB or wait until the next CPU generation. I'm sure someone out there has a top tier CPU, but not me

I hope to see 2:1 overclocking, with at least 2133 FCLK.
Other places have done it, and shows 5-10% uplift in %lows

how about asus b650e-i? in fact, TPU can do more reviews of am5 boards.

I'm just going to crush your dreams right now. Unlikely I'll be able to do that anytime soon.

Plenty of Gigabyte and Asrock boards are grey.
ASUS TUF and most Zotac GPUS are grey.
Phanteks make some lovely grey cases.

Clearly you just need to embrace the grey!

I may have to sweettalk my better half into some new ddr5,but it would be an expensive gamble.....

Nov 2024 we will have new CPUs and chipset

Zen5 x770? This is late, at least i can use my Zen4 longer. lol

I see you've got the F13c BIOS on your board. Gigabyte doesn't list that version on their website, so there's no knowing what version of Agesa it's based on, but F13d and newer are running Agesa 1.0.0.7C. Word on the street is 1.0.0.7C has really opened up the memory OCing for AM5. It would be interesting to see how this kit does with a newer BIOS version.

 

[ir_cow]

@Mr. Perfect F13c is using 1.0.0.7c .

When you say opens up memory OC, what do you mean exactly? Besides not having to manually enter Voltages for 6400, nothing has changed in my maximum OC value since 1.0.0.6 fixed 2:1 ratio.

1.0.0.7 (i think) also made 6000 > 6200, or 6200 > 6400 attainable depending on imc quality; my old m-die couldnt do 6400 c30 before that bios, after it was stable.

1.0.0.7 and later bios also allow for higher fclk, with some of the latest revisions allowing upwards of 2200 far more easily (again depending on individual sample quality).

I already can

 

[rv8000]

They were examples of fool proof values (could be used in reviews like this in the overclocking section), just requires time and voltage tweaking.

 

[ir_cow]

Nothing about overclocking is fool proof. Wouldn't be called overclocking if it was.

I think you’d be pretty hard pressed to find a hynix a-die kit that cant do 140ns trfc and 50000 trefi by spending 10 seconds in the bios.

Overlocking has largely been killed off anyways thanks to boost nonsense and everything being pushed past it’s efficiency limit at stock.

Oh, cool! All good then.

I'm honestly not sure what 1.0.0.7c did, because I just let EXPO do it's thing, but other users where reporting higher stable clocks and the ability to move the sweet spot past 6000 to 6200 or so.
