What for?

obtuse forge
#

Computing

#

24/7

dull flint
#

Like I'd chance it maybe if you ran them at 2133 MHz and extremely loose they'll probably work as 64gb, but it'll be hella slow

burnt spear
dull flint
#

Yes but am4 hates 2r dr

#

As I said 64gb is hard to run, I barely got 3666 working on b die

#

And these are not anything as easy here

burnt spear
#

I still wouldn't suggest it either way tbf

dull flint
#

Yes but was it 64

#

Lol

#

32 and 64 is a huge jump

burnt spear
#

5600 on 2666mhz ram maximum no fun

burnt spear
dull flint
#

4x8 is like 2x16

burnt spear
#

Djr and c die I think

dull flint
#

I had 4x8

#

Ye not impossible

obtuse forge
#

I guess my pc started with 64 Gb

burnt spear
#

If you get any blue screens or crashes you know why

#

Did you end up disabling xmp?

dull flint
#

Will offset the cost of a new 64gb kit

obtuse forge
#

I’ll try

dull flint
#

But yeah sadly corsair is famous for what you just witnessed

#

Die mixing is an every day thing with vengeance ddr4

#

They have dozens of different combinations

obtuse forge
dull flint
#

Oh? Did you manage to get all four working?

obtuse forge
#

Yes

dull flint
#

Interesting, maybe swapping them around helped, they're at 2133 there too

obtuse forge
#

ik enabling xmp didn’t work

dull flint
#

Yeah, jedec is a strong chance of success (Sorry, jedec in this situation is 2133)

#

And 2133MHz makes sense to me

#

So why did you add 32gb more btw?

obtuse forge
#

I need more ram

dull flint
#

Running out?

obtuse forge
#

Yeah

dull flint
#

What kind of work are we doing for that to happen

obtuse forge
#

My pc use 31.4 when working

dull flint
#

Take me through your process

obtuse forge
#

?

dull flint
#

31.4 ok that sounds about right

dull flint
obtuse forge
#

Umm computing program

dull flint
#

Not able to share or...?

#

I'm not bothered if not

obtuse forge
dull flint
#

Just helps me help

obtuse forge
#

Got it running at 3000mhz

dull flint
#

Ok I see

#

Can we just verify this really quick that it's stable

obtuse forge
#

Sure

dull flint
#

I'm going to send you a link with a tutorial

obtuse forge
#

Ok

dull flint
#

I want you to run this test for a few hours, until it stops, you want 0 errors

obtuse forge
#

i was bout to try push it for 3200mhz

dull flint
#

If you want to

#

But I'd test it before you commit to working with it

obtuse forge
#

ill run my program tonight and see if it crash tomorrow morening

dull flint
#

Reason I say is if you're computing, ram errors can carry over into the work

#

Especially loaded ram

obtuse forge
#

As long as my PC doesn’t crash

dull flint
#

Definitely worth checking

obtuse forge
#

3200mhz did work

dull flint
#

Alr

#

Well the link is there if you crash

#

Just be warned running unstable mixed ram can lead not only to crashes but dead windows installs

obtuse forge
#

I get blue screens sometimes with my old 2 stick of ram sooooo

dull flint
#

Getting blue screens before is not normal either

obtuse forge
#

Uhhhhhhhhh

#

I mean very rare

dull flint
#

Lolol

obtuse forge
#

My pc start to act weird on the keyboard then crashed

obtuse forge
#

It’s pcie gen 3x4.

dull flint
#

Might explain it if it's the same windows

obtuse forge
#

i did an reinstall

#

idk if that helped or not

dull flint
#

Yes that would a lot

obtuse forge
#

ok also im running the memory test

#

How long should I run?

dull flint
#

Just double checking

#

Does it say anta777

#

Anywhere in the window

obtuse forge
dull flint
#

Ah yeah it doesn't ok

#

Can you click "load config and exit"

#

Then navigate to the memory test folder, go to configs

#

Load anta777 extreme

#

Then relaunch the test

#

The default one is useless lol

obtuse forge
#

Where memory test folder

dull flint
#

Where you downloaded it

obtuse forge
#

I only have this?

dull flint
#

Look in bin

#

It should have the configs

obtuse forge
dull flint
#

Yep see extreme1@anta777

obtuse forge
#

The extreme 1@ant?

dull flint
#

Yep

obtuse forge
#

Yes

dull flint
#

So pick it in the program then it'll close itself, you relaunch as administrator then it'll run the test

#

Now that should go for I believe up to 4 hours for 64gb depending on the speed

obtuse forge
#

It says memory manager failed

dull flint
#

?

#

Wym

obtuse forge
dull flint
#

Blue screen?

obtuse forge
#

No

dull flint
#

Huh

#

Can you close everything else down and try start it

#

It mightn't have the allocation space

obtuse forge
#

It didn’t work when I click the anta extreme

dull flint
#

Try not launching as admin instead

obtuse forge
#

The window just closed

#

I did

dull flint
#

Ok it just closes and crashes?

obtuse forge
#

It keep saying memory manager failed

dull flint
#

Ok, not a great sign lol

#

Alternative

#

One sec

obtuse forge
#

First time I started it did second time it didn’t

dull flint
#

Download this and run vst or vt3

#

Same idea but it'll be more literal if it fails

obtuse forge
#

I’ll try

dull flint
#

You can run this test for 2 hours and I would wager it's a strong chance of stable

obtuse forge
#

how do i start

#

which option

dull flint
#

Press 1

#

Then you want either vst or vt3

#

There will be options 11 through 18 iirc

obtuse forge
#

which option

dull flint
#

Send pic

#

Can we scroll down a bit sorry

#

It cuts off

obtuse forge
#

its at the bottom

dull flint
#

If you type 18 what happens

obtuse forge
#

nothing

#

do i press 0 it say start stress testing

dull flint
#

Ah ok

#

Type 18 again

#

Then type 0

obtuse forge
#

i pressed 0

#

it started

dull flint
#

Nope

#

We need 18 enabled

#

Start again

#

The menu changes every time with this program I swear

obtuse forge
dull flint
#

Yep now 0

obtuse forge
#

i pressed 18 it says vectro transfor v3 4.36 enabeld

#

k

#

i hope my pc doesnt blow up

dull flint
#

Now we leave it for 3 hours, if it runs the whole way, you're good

#

Set 3 hours on the dot

#

And hey honestly if it works, count your stars

#

Rare that vengeance mixed does that

obtuse forge
#

does it really means its stable after 3 hours

dull flint
#

Yes

#

We verify it's stable after long enough time

obtuse forge
#

i mean my workloads runs 24/7

dull flint
#

And this is one of the most thorough and quick tests

obtuse forge
#

what i need it for

dull flint
#

Not a perfect guarantee but a strong one

obtuse forge
#

also why does corsair do this??????? mixing chips into the same product and states that i can upgrade when ever i want

#

does it mean i can sue them for it?

dull flint
#

Unfortunately not

obtuse forge
#

not what their advertising

dull flint
#

They sell kits designated to run the spec, if they do alone then they're working

#

If not well there's warranty which is them trying to "make good" litigiously

#

So no unfortunately no real grounds to sue

obtuse forge
#

if my ram kill my pc they will they cover?

dull flint
#

Heh, if by any stretch it does actually, yes, possibly

#

Depends on the situation

#

In any case corsair ain't the only ones

#

Corsair has a huge gamut though

obtuse forge
#

i watched one of LTT's video and he said that mixing ram is fine

dull flint
#

Yes it can be

#

But I've honestly lost count over the years how many times I've seen both sides to that recommendation

#

Especially to vengeance ddr4

#

Infamous sticks

obtuse forge
#

idk why mother board have slot available when manufactures doesnt make them compatiable :/

dull flint
#

Ikr

#

Well for people like us that buy on speed, it's useless

#

Unless you buy 4x8 to begin with, no real point if you can't confirm the new kit is identical underneath

#

Otherwise you get blue screens and problems

#

If you were someone who buys only 2133MHz ram, it's convenient to pop another 32gb in there

#

Perfectly understandable 100%

obtuse forge
#

2133 would be stable

#

?

dull flint
#

Yeah it would, just be massively slow

#

Vt3 is worth passing

#

Huge performance boost

obtuse forge
#

I mean even if my pc pass the vt3 it would still crash

dull flint
#

If it did though it would unlikely be ram at that point

#

VT3 is a good test

obtuse forge
#

or i can just run my program overnight and see

dull flint
#

Overnight works if you want to

#

It should stop on error with a time stamp tbh

#

As long as whenever it stops, no errors

#

Then it's gucci

obtuse forge
#

whats gucci

dull flint
#

Good

#

Solid

#

Stacked

#

We creamin

#

Uh

#

We're all good?

obtuse forge
#

uhhhhhh

dull flint
#

No I mean like, gucci as in all good

obtuse forge
#

ok

dull flint
#

Lol

obtuse forge
#

well see tomorr

dull flint
#

No worries

obtuse forge
#

i just bought an 4070 soo

#

and 60$ on the ram is what would probally fail

dull flint
#

Damn $60 for 32gb

#

Not as bad as I would've expected

long scaffold
#

Will everything in this build work together

umbral fog
#

So why a 7700xt over a 6800

dull flint
#

If you're talking raw raster, I can see why you posed the question, however below 400 the 7700XT becomes justifiable in other ways apart from raw raster

umbral fog
#

Mind explaining those I haven't been to up to date on temlam red

dull flint
#

It's more a measure of what you value for a gpu honestly, as RDNA 3 introduced hardware RT and AV1 encode, makes it a more powerful workstation card

#

RT itself is blah

#

But the performance gains in other workloads is real

burnt spear
#

Just saying, 3080 10gb is $385 rn

umbral fog
#

Av1 is also dependent on what you care about

#

6800 is 350

dull flint
#

Yes

#

It's a measure of what you value out of the gpu

#

Raw perf 6800 wins

dull flint
umbral fog
#

And some nice extras

dull flint
#

But they're all not bad choices

#

This isn't like a 4060 ti

umbral fog
#

Like more vram and a bigger memory bus

dull flint
#

Bigger bus doesn't do much for that card

umbral fog
#

I myself have a 3080

burnt spear
#

3080 ti is $460

#

10% better than 3080 10gb and 2gb more vram

dull flint
#

Also btw that person was answered in another chat

#

So we've diverted lol

umbral fog
#

Are these new prices?

burnt spear
#

Open box on the nvidia side

umbral fog
#

I know the 6800 is but I find 3000 series over a 3060 is hard to find new

burnt spear
#

30 series stock new is not sold

umbral fog
#

Last gen for gpus was kinda boring

dull flint
#

Waiting for when that 7700xt dips below 350 tbh, we'll have another 6700xt card on our hands

umbral fog
#

Only thing I found exciting was the 4090 from a pure power standpoint but otherwise it's been meh on both sides

dull flint
#

6700XT went through an almost identical path albeit riddled with covid between

umbral fog
#

Yeah it's just hovering at 400 though

dull flint
#

Near 4090 perf for almost half is...well insane tbh

#

Granted with the obvious caveat

#

But that caveat ain't worth near double lol

umbral fog
#

Xtx more directly competes with the 80 super which is only a lil more expensive

dull flint
#

In terms of raw raster XTX sits between the two

#

In fact if you even evc the xtx (something team green can't do indefinitely) it will surpass a 4090 in raster

dull flint

@burnt spear @grizzled bloom

I don't trust any article with a typo in the title

Gdi kek

#

They've cased the joint boss!

@stiff kraken

#

I remember you said that the i7 7700k is better for gaming than the i9 7980xe. How true is that in general? Is it just a few games or most? Does there happen to be a benchmark out there that directly compares their gaming capabilities? I was just wondering about the performance of the 7980xe.

dull flint
#

ST sustained clocks

#

Higher clock is better games

shell swallow
#

Can someone explain exactly why clock speed matters less for rendering and workstation tasks?

stiff kraken
#

desktop kaby lake runs those 4 cores on a ring bus with lower latency

#

skylake-x is using a much slower interconnect

#

so the cores aren't able to communicate with each other as quickly

#

the tradeoff is that the slower interconnect is better at scaling with more cores

#

so the 7980xe is better at the parallelized tasks it was designed for while the 7700k is better for gaming which cares more about low latency and high single core performance

#

a lot of game logic is just stuck running on a single core because synchronizing things between cores on such a small time frame is a pain

#

managing concurrency like that is just a nightmare for devs

#

the 7980xe will pull some wins in games that really make good use of the extra cores

#

like huge simulation games tend to parallelize better

#

but in general the 7700k should come out on top especially in anything period appropriate

#

you can see how when intel tried to stretch the same ring bus architecture to the 10900K there started to be hardware bugs in some chips at stock because the skylake ring bus just wasn't designed to be pushed to 10 cores

#

some people were getting TLB errors at stock

#

7980xe uses 18 cores so it needs that slower interconnect

#

you can see when you're putting this many cores on a ring bus you end up having to make a lot of hops to communicate between cores

#

but it's really fast when you don't have that many cores

#

the architectures are just fundamentally designed for different priorities

#

it's like... a truck is much better than a sedan for transporting goods, even if you go at a slower speed you can transport many more goods at the same time

#

a sedan is much better for your commute to work

#

sorry if that was more rambling than you wanted lol

stiff kraken
#

the problem is that you can only cram so much power into one package

#

and power dissipation has nonlinear scaling with voltage/frequency

#

so it is much more power efficient to run 64 cores at 3ghz vs 8 cores at 5ghz

#

rendering/workstation tasks tend to parallelize better than games, which is why chips targeted towards those workloads tend to have more cores at lower clock speeds

#

of course if you were able to run all those 16 cores at 5ghz you would get much better performance than 64 cores at 3ghz, it's just another design tradeoff with what's realistically feasible

#

my 8p8e core 13700K at 5.6/4.4ghz: 360 watts

96-core threadripper 7995wx at 3.2ghz: 350 watts

96-core threadripper 7995wx at 4.8ghz: ~1000 watts

#

as for why rendering tasks tend to parallelize better than gaming

#

consider that the game has to synchronize many factors of game state - for example, your health, your enemy's health, any incoming or outgoing attacks - and act on it many times per second, with gamers' expectations getting higher (60 fps is no longer considered enough by many when 30 used to be accepted)

you are simply incurring too much latency if you are running such critical calculations on other cores and then communicating them between the cores, the fps will suffer heavily

#

each frame comes with an update of the game logic as seen by the cpu

#

you can offload some less critical computations to other cores, but in general you want a lot of things in a game to be running on one fast core

#

in rendering there is less realtime demand, you just need to be able to create and piece together the final product, so it's much easier to divide those computations up into many small pieces

#

going to sleep now, hope anyone found my 3am rambling interesting enough to read

(R5 4600g/32 ram/(rtx 4060 ti later))

#

Thanks for help 😄

stiff kraken
# dull flint Ohhhh finally someone verbalised what it is

yeah the TLB is part of the cpu's memory management unit (specifically, it caches recently translations between physical memory locations and virtual memory locations) so it makes sense that stretching the ring bus design farther than intended while also upping its clock speed could cause TLB errors

#

maximum stable clock speeds are a function of some architectural design choices including datapath lengths

#

so cpus don't really like it when you don't obey those lol

grim jay
wind karma
#

Probably the a520 board, make sure it has enough m.2 slots if you're going to want multiple m.2 ssds

dull flint
#

Is there a tuf a520m wifi ii @grim jay for 100

No only these 3

dull flint

gritty patio
#

Should I upgrade to 9000 series?

grizzled bloom
gritty patio
#

But I have Nothin and I've seen some used builds for a decent price but I want a mini itx build with the caveat of my 3080

#

I plan on printing the case to save some money

#

And see the what 3d printing can do

grizzled bloom
#

That doesn't save you much in the long run because filament and power is expensive

gritty patio
#

But since 9000 series right around the corner I figured I could upgrade

gritty patio
#

Especially since am5 up until 2027

#

Hugggggeeee

grizzled bloom
#

If you're just gaming then wait for 9000X3D. It'll be out around October or November.

gritty patio
#

Ooooo ur right

grizzled bloom
#

7800X3D will still beat the normal 9000s in gaming

#

Since 9000 has a claimed IPC increase of 16% plus a little more for higher clocks, that still meets or falls short of the 7800X3D which gets you 22% more fps.

gritty patio
#

Damnn

#

Should I just get that discounted then?

#

Cause I plan on getting a higher end 5000 series card

#

Unless amd has gas

grizzled bloom
#

If you're building soon then yeah I'd just get a 7800X3D

gritty patio
#

Okay bet

#

They'll get discounted at microcenter then it's go time 🦾

grizzled bloom
#

RTX 5000 is going to be a paper launch. You won't be able to get a 5090 or 5080 until February or so.

#

Not without dealing with scalpers at least

#

Nvidia is heavily focusing on their AI chips that they can charge 10x more for

graceful elm
#

i have a 4070 ti and a 5800x and i keep getting crazy frame drops until i reboot my pc and then i only get like maybe max 200 fps in games like csgo and valorant which means in more demanging games im getting some caca fps. I used to run cyberpunk 60 fps no problem but thats no longer the case. What is the best way to figure out what the problem is?

#

just opened ooct and what is going on with my cpu

#

started running malwarebytes and now its going crazy

dull flint
#

@graceful elm

silk jungleBOT
dull flint
graceful elm
#

i was thinking about doing that

#

you dont think its the cpu being weird?

#

Just restarted my pc and heres what we looking at

#

will try ddu real quick

burnt spear
graceful elm
#

yep xmp enabled

#

heres my entire build currently

burnt spear
#

Nice setup

graceful elm
#

thank you

burnt spear
#

If ddu doesn't fix it I'd open command prompt as administrator and type sfc/scannow

graceful elm
#

gotcha

burnt spear
#

Honestly just a good idea to run that every so often

#

It scans os files for any corrupted files

#

And repairs them*

graceful elm
#

sounds like a plan

#

ill be back with any updates

burnt spear
#

Chkdsk is also a good idea, that scans a drives partitions/sections for any issues if I remember right

#

There's a way to have it scan each individual drive but I don't remember what it is

grizzled bloom
#

We still have the script pinned in #windows-ios that automates a lot of fixes

grizzled bloom
graceful elm
#

finished ddu

#

running sfc/scannow now

#

now running chkdsk

#

heres anothe rjust in case

#

chkdsk found no problems

#

sfc/scannow did and repaired them

#

gonna do one last reboot

grizzled bloom
#

Is that the overwolf overlay

#

Having multiple overlays can cause issues. You've got overwolf, steam, Nvidia, and whatever is included with armoury crate and your peripherals.

#

Start with disabling the steam one

graceful elm
#

alright

#

steam overlay is dead

#

nvidia overlay also dead

grizzled bloom
#

Between those two, if it's an overlay issue then it's probably better

graceful elm
#

will do some testing

novel shuttle
#

they are in a position to charge more then zen4 but will they

grizzled bloom
novel shuttle
grizzled bloom
#

No way in hell they're charging more for that than a 7800X3D currently costs

novel shuttle
grizzled bloom
#

It's also 2 more cores

novel shuttle
#

it should be on par with a 7800x3d in games where cache matters and just straight up beat it in games where it does not while having similar multi core performance

grizzled bloom
#

I seriously doubt that

#

If you look at the things AMD tested when they came to their "+16% IPC" conclusion, all the games were on the single digit end and production was on the higher end

#

And we already know that the 7800X3D vs the 7700X is +22%

novel shuttle
#

oh AMD sandbags things when it comes to cpu kekw

grizzled bloom
#

They have been known to do that but it only means you can't trust their numbers

novel shuttle
#

yeah but interesting end of the year ahead

#

but the 9600x i totally except to be 300 atleast until intel actually has something in that price range

#

the 13600k launch absolutely tanked the 7600x price

grizzled bloom
#

$300 is more believable, that's closer to what I said too how it'll be the same msrp as last gen.

cursive epoch
#

$50/core ratio huh

obtuse forge
#

It happened sometimes and it can be fixed by restarting

dull flint
#

Looks like some keyboard macro mode activated

obtuse forge
#

This is what happenda after I restart

obtuse forge
dull flint
#

Not saying you did

obtuse forge
#

Is there a fix?

dull flint
#

Try unplugging and replugging the keyboard imo

obtuse forge
#

I tried

dull flint
#

Then go look at the manual for it and see if there's some shortcut hotkey for macros

#

It was still registering the keyboard but the alphabet wasn't being inputted

obtuse forge
#

I do have auto hot keys installed

dull flint
#

Yeah I wouldn't know what those are

#

But it can happen on accident

obtuse forge
#

It’s macro

dull flint
#

I've done it a few times hell

#

Anyway that'd be my guess

obtuse forge
#

Idk it’s a pc thing I believe

#

Once I restart

#

It’s just turn to this

dull flint
#

If it does that once a while it's fine

#

Just a troubleshooting menu

obtuse forge
#

my pc is running a program atm i dont really wnat to restart but i also need to use it

dull flint
#

That comes up when you hold shift and click restart btw

dull flint
#

It looks like keyboard shenanigans

obtuse forge
dull flint
#

Could be

#

Idk

obtuse forge
#

but my input would be all caps

dull flint
#

Could do

#

Idk

#

You should start by looking at the keyboard imo

#

I've never owned a reddragon so I can't assist there

dull flint
#

There will be a manual for it

obtuse forge
#

i hope it doesnt happend too frequent

#

idk where i got my keyboard from but i had it for 3 years

dull flint
#

The manual will say something about this I'm sure

obtuse forge
#

i hate reading :/

dull flint
#

I can't help with your feelings kekw

And i need to replace it

#

Squeezed in between the io

#

Should I do as usual and just replace the battery only using a classic 3v battery and keep the contacts on the battery with some tape/heat shrink (or whatevers called)

Hey guys, I need some help here. I'm trying to update my bios (Asus ROG Strix b650e-f). I followed instructions, renamed the cap file, put it in a USB flash and plugged it directly into the motherboard.

The moment I click to confirm the update, a progression bar pop out in the bottom and right after that the PC shuts down.

Now, I know that it's supposed to do that but during the update, not right when I confirm to read the cap file. Any advice?

wow Asus looks like added extra steps to it for no good reason

You did all the right steps

Give Asus a holler honestly

Could be a hardware problem, maybe the usb isn't fat32? Idk. Sounds like some really bad stability or AGESA issue

Makes a massive difference to the 12400f

or maybe it does?

idk

dull flint

It's much, much smaller tho

It's basically an itx system if that interests you

It's small enough to be considered one

It's all compacted down so much tho that it doesn't really need extra fans to give it proper airflow

There's alternatives

It's $12 anyway

It's chump change but if you wanted to save as much as possible, a couple ideas here

can you also reccomend a good >500gb nvme ssd?

dull flint

500GB is very meager

Lol

How much are you trying to spend

loud crater
#

as little as possible without losing performance

Well with ssd's it's more like you're losing value at 500gb rather than performance

then whats a good vaule 1tb?

Brand doesn't matter with ram, the brand just makes the heat spreader on the outside. The ram itself under that is made by one of three main manufacturers, samsung, micron, and hynix

I'd say the asrock personally if you plan on ever using anything more than a 13400, because it has better heatsinks

loud crater
#

ty

#

is that the only difference?

grizzled bloom
#

Personally I wouldn't consider either of them since they use DDR4 and that will take about 10-15% of your CPU performance away if you use anything with e-cores.
The asrock has a M.2 slot for a wifi card, while the gigabyte has 2.5Gb Ethernet. Those are the main differences.

so cheaper a520 = no OC
more expensive B450 = has OC

#

I'm wondering if i should splurge more on the b450 to OC a 5600 to pair with a 2080ti

I'm asking what mobos I should buy

and if it's worth ocing my cpu

Ram oc/ram tuning makes much more of a difference

$80 b550, and a pretty good one at that

#

very unfortunate indeed

#

btw i have a micro ATX case and I don't want it bigger

woeful zinc

#

The issue is with a b450, unless you have a different cpu from a previous gen, you wouldn't be able to flash the bios if it comes with bios that don't support 5000 series

#

Unless it has bios flashback, which most cheap ones don't. Cheapest one I know of is the asus b450 prime ii

basically ₱1000 = $20

I'm thinking buying from the EasyPC one, I've bought from them as well previously

#

I have a M.2 SSD and a SATA SSD, with an external HDD so I'm all good so far with that selection

#

2x16gb 3200mhz ram

#

current CPU is ryzen 5 2400G and upgrading to 5600 in the future

#

gpu 1050ti upgrade to 2nd hand 2080ti

but my other options are 6600/xt or 5700xt and equivalent

burnt spear

out of those b450-a pro max ii imo

only issue is bios

#

oh

#

wait, 2400g

#

can use that to update if needed

#

yesyes

so not much reason to go for a b550 unless it has better vrms and isn't too much more

specifically between the choices there tho

if there was a better a520 then i'd say that, like the a520m plus wifi from asus

#

It has better cpu power delivery, or vrms

woeful zinc

there's the MSI B450M-A PRO MAX and B450M PRO-VDH MAX

Hi! I have this MSI Gaming Edge AC with an i7-9700kf that I’m getting no signs of life from. Every time I press the power button of the case this MoBo is hooked up to, nothing happens at all, no fans spin, no lights go on, etc. So I was just wondering if y’all could help me figure what’s causing this issue?

sudden creek
#

Did they say why they are doing that?

slender cypress
#

That PSU is actually quite old now and hasn’t had any issues yet

grizzled bloom
# sudden creek Did they say why they are doing that?

Supposedly each hyper thread only nets about 30% more performance per core so if they nuke HT they can get more performance per core. In theory. The conspiracy theory is that they couldn't get it working on the new architecture so they're trying to spin it as a positive.

woeful zinc
#

what difference would there be using two individual 1x8gb sticks compared to 2x8gb sticks (a kit)

#

both same manu and same model but basically one is a kit

vagrant mist
#

Dual vs single channel

#

Generally speaking dual channel just gives you more bandwidth

#

And obviously two ram sticks means more ram

#

But that's kinda self explanatory

vagrant mist
#

A kit is more guaranteed to work together than two separate sticks

#

Unless it's new a new corsair kit, then you'd kinda be doing the same as mixing and matching individual sticks anyway

woeful zinc
#

but it wouldn't really have any difference correct? just the kit would be more likely to work together. that's all?

vagrant mist
#

more or less, yeah

#

a kit is normally rated to run at XMP with no issues

#

but sometimes mixing can cause some issues

So, got a 7800X3D for ~100$ below MSRP a few weeks ago, now looking for the motherboard and RAM. Anyone have recommendations?

Primarily thinking between these two

(ASrock B650 Steel Legend, aka the B650E In disguise as it has a PCIE5 x16 slot and somehoe more rear-IO and PCIE Slots than the B650E Steel Legend for some reason) https://t.ly/yCLIO

(Gigabyte Aorus B650E AX ICE) https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145500

The latter is on newegg so I can use Zip. but anyone familiar with Mobos more than me or both able to give a verdict?

tender sleet
#

B650 boards in general are all well-equipped

vast meadow
#

well do you currently have an am5 board? if you already have them almost anything will run it

#

and yeah one that has the features you want etc and is the cheapest

brisk valley
# tender sleet Whichever is cheaper honestly

Well the B650(E-ish) from Asrock is 180$. But lacks features like EZ installs, USB4(?).etc. And is only available upfront versus the Gigabyte option which is is on Newegg so I can use Zip

tender sleet
#

USB4 IIRC is only coming on X870 (but not sure)

tender sleet
#

Cuz I'd not pay more for it

brisk valley
tender sleet
#

That's like half your RAM

#

Just get the Asrock

brisk valley
#

Well the other thing is I can't find any reviews on that board

#

only the B650E Steel legend which is a meh board. And this one just seems like a errant board with being B650 with PCIE5 on the x16 slot

tender sleet

Meh compared to what?

grizzled bloom

I don't believe that the Gigabyte has USB4 either

I'd personally get the Asrock but you won't do stupid getting the Gigabyte either

#

Only stupid act is getting the Mobo I have

brisk valley
tender sleet
#

That one is genuinely awful

grizzled bloom
#

In the end, just get what you're comfortable with

tender sleet
#

Yeah neither is a bad choice at the prices

#

Just avoid the Asus Prime boards

#

Those are CRAP

#

This gen Asus Prime is absolutely trash tier

I have a Prime B650M-A Wifi ii

Yeah, going for a general white or stormtrooper look, so the Steel Legend or AX ICE are preferred for me lol (Currently running a P500a, going to be selling the old PC for the most part if not entirely if I can't sell the platform+Case before I upgrade the GPU and will prolly get the NV5 in white with the M25Gen2 fans when they come out)

#

Probs gonna upgrade to a 7700X while at it (I like having 8 cores, and HOI4 doesn't benefit from 3D V-cache iirc)

Looking at it, apparently it might actually

#

Damn, I wanted to leave room for upgrading to the X3D later lel

#

9800X3D is coming soon

Probably early October

So they can slip in right before Intel launches

grizzled bloom

I guess 7800X3D will be cheaper then?

When the 9800X3D comes out

Maybe I can nab a used one for a low price

#

At the end of this month the 9700X will launch. Maybe wait until then.

#

Yeah it'd not be a buy rn

#

First I need to make the money

And there's a lot of things I'd have to buy before the PC

#

Like monitors, a new phone, pay off debts and so on

#

Likely gonna be like a year

grizzled bloom
#

Someone, probably HUB, will do a cost per frame analysis based on price trends when the 9700X launches, so you can take your pick then

tender sleet
#

Or at least 6 months

grizzled bloom
#

If it's as much as 6 months then yeah the market will be totally different at that time

#

9000 will likely end up below msrp by then based on past trends

tender sleet

It's more just stating the tier of hardware I'm aiming

Not SPECIFIC pieces of it

Aim is 1440p 120hz min framerates

At mid-high graphics settings on modern games

For example, if the ram is running at 1600mhz, each cycle would take 0.625ns, so the tRCmin would be ~73 cycles

woeful zinc

#

1000ns/1600mhz, since hz is just cycle/second

#

Wait

#

I might be being dumb

#

1600mhz is 1600x10^6 hz, to get from cycle per second to second per cycle, you take 1/(1600x10^6), which is 1/1.6 x 10^-9, which is 0.625ns, since ns is 10^-9 s

dull flint

I did the math and then forgot the math and then had to re-do the math lmao

So you're at least halfway there without me looking

Dimensional analysis is fun

Actually no you are right

#

Pcpp is the wrong one

Converting base is too annoying I often just do a calculator

Lol

hollow thorn

I did the mental math as just 1/1.6 and just had to justify the units lol

dull flint
#

There are white papers on all this stuff

#

Including jedec documents

#

Lots of math involved

#

@woeful zinc

#

Has everything to do with banks and charges to activate and pulse in the right way so cached information is accessed correctly

#

Think of like an elevator, of which it does both floors and rooms

#

Lots of the numbers have everything to do with say, choosing floor 2 room 219 in a hotel, if such an elevator existed

#

So that the elevator (or rather the charge) reaches the right cache bank

hollow thorn
#

wait a second this is just how ssds work

dull flint
#

And happens at an extreme rate of thousands of megacycles a second

dull flint
#

There's just an extra step more or less for hmb and dram caching

#

And the call is still read or write

#

Much less rapid, intent of permanency

#

If ram was say the equivalent of L4 cache in the system (arbitrary) then an SSD could be L5 but permanent

#

I'm making big liberties in describing this though

I'm not too well read on the topic

So I've been using all 32GB of the memory I have recently, it's currently dual lane, 16GB and 6000MHz each. Should I just get another of the same 32GB kit for 64 total in four lanes or get an entirely new kit?

#

What's the performance difference

#

R7 7700X and Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX

dull flint

So I should get a 64GB kit?

#

I'm not sure what you were saying nope to

#

I mean what are you doing that needs 64gb

potent dew
#

Multiple windows of IntelliJ IDEA open, a game which is sometimes what's being tested, Discord, browser, background things

dull flint
#

Tried ram cleaning?

potent dew
#

Closing background programs?

dull flint
#

Yeah debloating, setting up a clean task

potent dew
#

If it's not at 100% doing that it's at above 90% and sometimes I start games to play with people while finishing things up

potent dew
dull flint
#

Reason I emphasize this is I recently learned most AM5 boards are severely cut down outside the basics for a vast majority of boards

#

Ye a debloat tool

potent dew
#

IDEA doesn't use a small amount of RAM which nothing can really be done about

dull flint
#

So odds are another 32gb kit may even still not work despite matches

potent dew
#

I mean four isn't really extra

dull flint
#

It is

#

DDR5 having 4 slots was a last minute addition

#

It was a change to JEDEC at the final minute

#

It's octa channel at 4 dimms on DDR5 vs quad channel on DDR4 and much higher speed

#

It's extremely hard for our current gen platforms

#

2x32 would be the way forward imo if you need more

potent dew
#

Yeah I see that the spec doesn't really allow four at more than 4800 MT

dull flint
#

You're lucky to get 4800

#

I got 3200 when I first tried it

#

As most do at high density

#

dual rank high density is often well below 4800 (4x2r)

potent dew
#

So idling at 7.3G

#

Starting Discord and Spotify makes it 8.7G

potent dew

Is there some formula for comparing speed in kits like there was for DDR4? I've been told that CAS and clock speed don't really mean what they did with DDR4.

Oh so the real problem with IDEA is Gradle 🗿

Which is why there are no odd number cas latency

potent dew
#

JVM try not to have crappy build tools challenge

dull flint
#

The issue is that, albeit much better at a higher gear, the speed is still tough af to run

#

And we are using on intel, a very new DDR5 controller with tons of voltage issues

#

Or on AMD, the DDR4 controller, now on DDR5

#

it's DDR4 compatible but they decided no

potent dew
#

What Windows debloater should I use?

dull flint
#

The speed is the issue, as our current IMC's haven't really improved much since DDR5 came out

potent dew
#

I've tried one or two and I can't remember if they really worked, but I still have Edge and it'll start things in Edge

dull flint
#

I would set it up to run periodically to flush the ram

#

Or use custom app rules to limit the amount of ram that java program can hog

#

It deserves to be patched if it's memory leaking

Okay well the project I opened does give Gradle 8GB of memory in an attempt to make it build faster

#

whoops

#

Probably doesn't need that though

#

That hopefully can be adjusted maybe

potent dew
#

yeah, and I'm the one that did that

#

I should probably get rid of Chrome

#

That's not helpful at all

#

Apparently Edge is pretty memory efficient, which is kind of surprising considering it's still Chromium

#

I have no real issues with edge honestly

#

Lots of people tell me it's bad but it's very consistent

potent dew
#

Well the fact that they don't shut up about it doesn't help reputation

#

dang, 3 or 4% less total memory usage than Chrome

#

I am also running a media server, but I have a workstation I should be able to move it onto soon

Moving the media station over would help ye

Finally found another review of this board

Like 1 / clock * CAS for DDR4

dull flint
#

DDR5 is both much faster but the IMC's we use to run it are much slower in a very non-linear way

#

Oh man, this is highball for first thing of the day 😂

Anyone got the actual first word read formula handy?

As in the real first word and not just cas? It's a doozy

I can't find it because I used an old pcpp post that's removed now
