idk maybe its a 1.45 kit, i thought those worked with 200S tho

bro 9 seconds at 8300 "please post" settings aint even bad like wtf

topaz veldt Jan 30, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

your kit needs an 8000 xmp profile or something but mine def does not

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

it needs an 8k profile and it needs to be below a specific voltage

#

its either 1.5 or 1.45v

yeah i dunno but mine is 9000 CL42

@topaz veldt what’re your thoughts on 1.5v ram in a sub 10L hotbox

#

do you think i’d be unstable for heat there

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 5:35 AM

#

brisk jolt do you think i’d be unstable for heat there

the key is knowing why ram is temperature unstable

#

as we know (probably) ram is a bunch of capacitors

brisk jolt Jan 30, 2026, 5:35 AM

#

im not confident it’ll work with the panel closed

turbid locust Jan 30, 2026, 5:35 AM

#

VDD is almost never the problem

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 5:36 AM

#

there are certain timings that recharge and refresh the capacitors that your ram is made up of

#

these timings, because capacitors discharge faster when theyre warmer need to be adjusted accordingly

#

the most notable of the two are tRFC and tREFI

#

especially at auto this will not be a problem for any temperature

floral spear Jan 30, 2026, 5:36 AM

#

my desktop sucks

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 5:36 AM

#

if you are modifying these values, say REFI to 65535 or similar, thats when you need to become weary of your ram temps

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 5:37 AM

merry stirrup if you are modifying these values, say REFI to 65535 or similar, thats when you ...

ive seen people run 85+c spd temps on ddr5 while maintaining complete stability

pure garnet Jan 30, 2026, 5:37 AM

amd just runs the dimms cooler

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 5:38 AM

#

merry stirrup ive seen people run 85+c spd temps on ddr5 while maintaining complete stability

voltage as well is not really something you should be playing with for frequency because thats generally not why you increase voltage especially on modern hynix

#

hynix just seems to clock flat out no matter what at typical xmp voltages

#

tCL will scale heavily with the voltage number though

#

thats why you see people running 1.65v for like 9000 c36

#

cause in reality the same people could do 1.5 c38 at the same freq

brisk jolt Jan 30, 2026, 5:39 AM

find max bootable freq
probably have to drop down 1 or 2 steps for it to be stable
validate that as is
measure temps under load
adjust rfc and refi according to your temps and how your ic performs

if its h24m you want 165nsish of trfc

tcl scaling is probably different tho i see what he means

topaz veldt Jan 30, 2026, 5:46 AM

H16A, being binary, is less overhead on the IMC at a cycle level

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 5:46 AM

every h24 kit i see has higher vdd for the same or higher tcl than me unless its binned accordingly

like obvi a h24m 1.45 c26 kit is a lower tcl/volts but still

its a lot nicer than the kvm purely cause the latency is a lot nicer for something thats yknow still entirely local

#

and i mean i have 2 entirely functional computers even with like speakers

#

all i gotta do is move 1 cable if i wanna swap which one im using too for oc

#

also whatever profile this is works just fine

so it was either the bios or my settings

but considering i was trying to make a conservative profile its just the bios

idk you havent had too too many am5 chips and apparently 6400/8000 is actually somewhat pretty rare, but i also havent had too many am5 chips

afaik 8000 isnt that uncommon

and for a chip that will boot and bench 8300 like

those auto timings are terrible

turbid locust Jan 30, 2026, 6:28 AM

because if I spend 3 hours tuning terminations to find out it was a voltage the whole time i will just explode and saw the board in half

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 6:30 AM

#

i had the most luck in ddr4 by

#

going to my absolute highest booted freq

#

(so 4933)

#

then fucking with my terms until 5000 booted

#

(i also knew 5000 would boot because i bclked up from 4933 and it was fine)

#

and i did in fact find a termination combo that let 5000 boot without bclk but it only worked like 3 times

#

but by doing that my bclked 5000 stability went up

pure garnet Jan 30, 2026, 6:31 AM

#

yeah 8600 on my b850 you can watch the memory traces on doesn’t boot without touching anything

turbid locust Jan 30, 2026, 6:31 AM

#

i just dont understand how you're supposed to tune terms when it can be many wrong at once and youll never know stability improved because they all error

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 6:32 AM

#

thats kinda my problem

#

its probably possible to learn how to rule out certain values, i just dont know if X proc odt will always work if say RTTnom/park/wr is changed too

#

and i mean ig i can test that

turbid locust Jan 30, 2026, 6:34 AM

I just dont know how you change something based of results that dont change

telling you it literally takes 100-200 hours for the game to make any sense

what do you think a 48GB 9000 CL42 Gskill CK kit is worth

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 6:57 AM

#

like how to position yourself how to fight etc

cosmic gazelle Jan 30, 2026, 6:57 AM

#

and at least 1000 hours for lighthouse to make any sense

"i didnt hear u"

its just not very optimal for a new player to 4 stack period

slim pebble Jan 30, 2026, 6:58 AM

#

topaz veldt what do you think a 48GB 9000 CL42 Gskill CK kit is worth

A LOT in the 2026 market

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 6:58 AM

#

any more than a duo and you cant hear anything as well as being loud as shit

cosmic gazelle Jan 30, 2026, 6:58 AM

#

you will probably survive more often by holding w and left click than by sitting there until you get shot

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 6:58 AM

#

merry stirrup any more than a duo and you cant hear anything as well as being loud as shit

solo you get the insane advantage of being quiet and not having to worry about communication at all

low sorrel Jan 30, 2026, 6:59 AM

#

merry stirrup its just not very optimal for a new player to 4 stack period

twas a duo and then i was solo and then i met someone on the tarkov discord and then it was a duo again and then my friend got back on and then a 4th guy joined

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 6:59 AM

#

as a team you have to know how not to get yourself killed and as well as not get your teammates killed

cosmic gazelle Jan 30, 2026, 6:59 AM

#

merry stirrup any more than a duo and you cant hear anything as well as being loud as shit

i will agree with this jerry, tarkov has so many insanely subtle audio cues that a new player just can’t pick up on period

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 6:59 AM

#

well yeah

#

but hearing 3 other players at the same time doesnt help

cosmic gazelle Jan 30, 2026, 6:59 AM

#

you have to be able to hear an enemy scrape the ground through the sound of your teammates running

#

which doesn’t happen for a long time lol

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 7:00 AM

#

no

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 7:00 AM

#

cosmic gazelle which doesn’t happen for a long time lol

lol

#

tarkov isnt amazing but generally the people who make it past the first slog love the game

#

its not user friendly period

#

the game however is the best in the genre

cosmic gazelle Jan 30, 2026, 7:00 AM

#

or you could just hate yourself and keep running labrinth and dying like i did tonight

is the default fan curve good ? gpu was getting to 47 idle and fans dont spin before and this fixed it

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 9:10 AM

#

why do you want the fans to spin while the gpu does nothing?

#

your fix is more of a problem than a solution, nothing was wrong

lime panther Jan 30, 2026, 9:11 AM

#

aint 47 idle too high a temp ?

merry stirrup Jan 30, 2026, 9:11 AM

#

no. thats why the fans werent spinning

#

the fans usually start spinning at 50-60c

#

there is no bad idle temperature unless the pc is not being cooled in any state

#

basically what im saying is that theres only bad load temperatures, idle doesnt matter

lime panther Jan 30, 2026, 9:12 AM

#

oh well, I'll keep it like that ain't a problem to be cool, and fans are cheap to replace if they break

then you're not printing anything challenging, and/or you don't care about finish on the output

robust bough Jan 30, 2026, 3:34 PM

#

I print RC parts lol

frank zealot Jan 30, 2026, 3:35 PM

#

If all you're printing is bullshit print-in-place fidget things or something?
It probably doesn't matter.

Bambu is the most plug-and-play solution currently out.

How about a high-end creality?

frank zealot Jan 30, 2026, 3:36 PM

creality is for tinkerers

My CR-10 Smart Pro has been good

I'll just restart and that will likely fix it but I've never seen that before

frank zealot Jan 30, 2026, 3:49 PM

robust bough Jan 30, 2026, 3:49 PM

If you even think you may want an ams just get the combo

#

Trust me
As a P1S "oh I don't need the ams" person who later bought an AMS; just get the combo

the odds of someone selling just the AMS is super slim, but why rain on his parade?

Also the AMS 2 Pro w Hub? Get yourself 8 filaments in your printer at once. Fuck yeah!

hoary hatch Jan 30, 2026, 3:59 PM

#

Well I won't argue they should get the multi ams hub

#

But AMS 2 Pro is so nice

#

And the P2S has QoL upgrades

#

So recommend P2S AMS2 Pro combo :)

#

I should get a bambu referral code

why would anyone go for an AIO instead of custom loop when it's already that big?
the whole thing makes no sense to me

it’s essential

strange ginkgo Jan 30, 2026, 4:21 PM

#

i got a 360*360 radiator and yes it does manage to cool my 5800x3d

#

i just don't see why you want it as an AIO

#

it doesn't fit inside the case and if it's outside the case the tube lenght might be too short for what you need
