I'm pretty sure I could lift up the entire PC with how strong those things hold

#

specifically AM5 compatible makes it easier but most blocks will work anyway

#

I'm using a Thermaltake W7+ on AM5 & that came out like 3 years before AM5 was a thing lol

proud jackal
#

i have fittings already

idle nexus
#

I lost all the mounting hardware except the like retaining nuts so I had to make it work lol

#

sounds like you're definitely doing a loop then haha

#

which case? how many rads? what sizes?

proud jackal
idle nexus
#

heckin fancy jeez

proud jackal
idle nexus
#

seriously tho, don't use that stupid colored coolant

#

believe me, you'll want to

proud jackal
#

i took it out months ago

#

it stained everything

#

and turned into slime

idle nexus
#

you'll think it looks so amazingly cool

frigid stag
#

It gets gunk in the tubes

proud jackal

#

I dont think there will be blocks for fe 5090 unless they design it to house the io and pcie connections

frigid stag
#

I kinda want to try a water loop but only using budget parts

idle nexus
#

dude I still find remnants of EK Electric Purple Opaque coolant in my rads 3 years later

frigid stag
#

Like a 200 to 300$ water loop kekw

idle nexus
frigid stag
#

Ye I heard AliExpress is good for those

lone mango
#

So itll still look like a normal watercooled one but there will be empty space on the left side housing the other connections

#

Thats how I imagine it

frigid stag
#

Most people think it costs as much as the pc cause they only know EK, Corsair etc

proud jackal
#

just need am5 and 5090 block and 5090 and im set

idle nexus
#

have you seen der8aur's?

#

the mycro?

rancid juniper
#

@mortal grail

proud jackal
#

the direct die?

idle nexus
#

not sure if you have to delid for it or if it has different options

lone mango
#

And then the next gen

frigid stag
#

I probably have to upgrade my cpu/ board first cause idk if I can find a lga1151 block kekw

idle nexus
idle nexus
#

titanrig too

frigid stag
#

Are quick disconnects any good

idle nexus
#

extremely convenient

#

typically they're expensive as heck tho

frigid stag
#

Ah

idle nexus
#

I found some Alphacool Plastic ones for the low tho

proud jackal
#

i use titanrig

#

when they actually have what i need in stock

frigid stag
#

So it’s just alpha cool block, pump, res and some tubes and fittings

fresh timber
#

if yall had a unlimted budget for your pc, wht yall doing?

#

persoanlly, dual 5090 waterlooped system

#

and i jsut realised my breaker would trip

4x 5090 system

idle nexus
frigid stag
#

Oh these are pretty affordable

idle nexus

frigid stag
#

Ye they must be easy to setup water loop too and drain if you need

idle nexus
#

they're not gonna be as great as the metal ones but they're also really light for my pipe mess lol

#

I mean they won't look as great I dunno

#

I use them for bench setup

idle nexus
#

QDC fittings are usually like $30 each

fresh timber
#

9950x, 9950x3d when that drops, 96gb wam, a bunch of four 8tb nvmes, 5.0 if possible

#

ngl id prob do the nv5 again and loop it, then another 5090 pc with a 9800x3d as my portal pc

idle nexus
# proud jackal
#

heck & it's V3 but not Rev 2 of V3

proud jackal
#

i need the nickle one

fresh timber
#

ngl if i do get a 5080 or 4080 or xtx what ever, i should custom loop kek~4

#

and hate my self

idle nexus
#

you're doing liquid metal?

fresh timber
#

hellllll nooooooooooooo

#

dont do that

#

to ur self

#

watch the 5090 have issues in a few years

idle nexus
#

I love liquid metal

fresh timber
#

im waiting for my ps5 to have thermal issues

#

goin enjoy taking it appart and moving the metal around so it sits on the cpu

idle nexus
#

heck even Optimus website is sold out. Crazy how much cheaper it is on here https://optimuspc.com/products/signature-v3-cpu-block-amd?variant=41014759063635

#

I used liquid metal on a 10900K with an LF2 360mm

#

with a copper cold plate lol

#

I had to reapply liquid metal like once a year but I can deal with that

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

I'd probably try to find a decent Z790 (ideally a 2-DIMM slot) & a relatively inexpensive 2x16gb A-die or 2x24gb M-die kit & spend like 36 of those hours trying to stabilize 8000c34 lol

fresh timber
#

lmfao

#

id lowkey enjoy the 48gb ram

atomic mist
#

Too be fair Optimus sells out of most of their first and second batch waterblocks FeelsStrongMan

fresh timber
#

i dont even bother overlcoking my gpu anymore

#

or cpu

nocturne flicker
#

What is this

idle nexus
#

heck there's a Z790 Apex Encore for $449 (used & apparently there were bent pins on CPU socket that were fixed according to the listing). It's kinda crazy Z790 Tachyons are like $200 more

nocturne flicker

kek~4

fresh timber

#

How does it work

#

I do not comprehend

fresh timber
#

idk it just does

nocturne flicker
#

It didn't for me derpyBlob

fresh timber
#

my brain keeps going between am5 upgrade and ddr5 upgrade kek~4 remind me that i do not need ddr5

idle nexus
#

iirc the Asrock riptide overclocked memory pretty well

fresh timber
#

wima save my money up until i get a job befoe i buy the fast ddr4

idle nexus
fresh timber
#

i think a 9800x3d beats 13600kf in multicore

#

or is the same roughly

idle nexus
fresh timber
#

wanna know what we need in more motherboads

idle nexus
#

it definitely sounds like a pretty decent board for $230

fresh timber
#

the abiilty to sa ve certin settings to a usb drive or something

idle nexus
#

you can do that

fresh timber
#

:0

#

i need

idle nexus
#

you can save BIOS profiles on many boards

fresh timber
#

i hate having to remember my old ram oc and redo it

idle nexus
#

you can also save it to the board ofc

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

ya that's typical

fresh timber
#

imagine u could keep it even after a upgrade

idle nexus
#

& if you load a profile from a previous BIOS onto a current one it doesn't exactly work lol

fresh timber
#

true

#

so u write down ur settings so u can easily redo them?

idle nexus
#

tbh

fresh timber
#

i memorised my primary timings kek~4

#

idk my others

idle nexus
#

at this point they're pretty much memorized

#

or just screenshot HWiNFO before update

#

settings don't always work on newer BIOS

fresh timber
#

whats the difficult part of ddr5 oc

idle nexus
#

but it gives you a good starting point

fresh timber
#

iv only done ddr4

frigid stag
#

Everything kekw

idle nexus
#

imo

#

there are way too many voltages

frigid stag
#

Xoc guys can’t stand ddr5

idle nexus
#

like so many damn variables

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

it's hard to isolate problems the way you could on DDR4

frigid stag
#

Only reason I’d get ddr5 is cause newer Evga boards are ddr5 only and they look the best

idle nexus
#

like DDR4 you set loose primaries & raise System Agent & IO voltage until you can't get a higher frequency to POST

idle nexus
#

it's sad there won't be any more EVGA boards

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

DDR5 it's more of like

frigid stag
#

Yep I’m trying to find a lga1700 one new kekw

fresh timber
#

i think if i tweaked the voltage i could get 3600 to run with out making my timings loose asf

idle nexus
#

sweet spot

frigid stag
idle nexus
#

& more voltage isn't always helpful

#

honestly less voltage helps more often

#

apparently the frequency is so high that if your voltage is too high or too low it borks the signal integrity

frigid stag
#

This is the EVGA Z690 dark 
As far as an overclocking motherboard, it does absolutely great when it runs, which isn’t very long and a lot of people that I’ve talked to had the same board had issues as well.
I’ve owned more motherboards than I can count and more EVGA products than I can count as well and this is the first time I’ve ever been di...

how painful will ddr6 be

So no buzzing or weird errors

#

also that ClockDriver memory

fresh timber
#

camm is th efuture

idle nexus
#

ya for sure

fresh timber
#

u can waterloom camm

#

peaked my intrest

idle nexus
#

I mean I was using 12900K with 7000c32 1T memory

#

so it's a little dated compared to using it for 13/14th gen ig

#

ya Z690

frigid stag
#

Ah

idle nexus
#

it's on the floor next to me rn with like 3 little white lights on in standby lol

#

I stayed with older BIOS

#

maybe that has something to do with it

frigid stag
#

Ye it’s probably bios version

idle nexus
#

iirc I'm on like the first BIOS they put out when A-die was new lol

#

...2.03 maybe? it's been awhile

frigid stag
idle nexus
#

like I passed like 8 hours overnight of testmem5 antaextreme

#

then I ran large FFTs on OCCT & failed in like 8 minutes lol

#

primaries kinda scale weird too

#

like tCL will scale with voltage but tRCDRD/WR & tRP don't really scale with voltage

#

& JEDEC guidance on tRAS is like nonsense

#

JEDEC says run like a three digit number for tRAS at 8000mt/s

#

yet somehow 34 will run lol

#

for the most part, DDR5 timings are like DDR4 x2

idle nexus
#

which still seems like a lot now lol

#

to get like 8533 running on Apex, I run CPU VDDQ at 1.335v

frigid stag
#

Damn lol

#

8533 mts is insane tho

idle nexus
#

you pretty much just have to figure out what your motherboard & CPU want. It's not like bdie where there's an easy OC that pretty much works on every Zen 3 CPU or something

#

it's so much less predictable ig is what I mean

frigid stag
#

Ah ye true

#

I’ve just heard from people complaining their oc wasn’t stable occasionally

#

Like one day it works and then it doesn’t want to boot correctly

idle nexus
#

lol I found one of my 12900K memory OC spreadsheets

idle nexus
#

for example lol

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

lol I bought 2x32gb 5600

#

but wanted at least 6200 1:1

frigid stag
idle nexus
#

that spreadsheet above was the longest one but I tried 4 different BIOS

frigid stag
#

That must’ve taken a while to figure out

idle nexus
#

in the end, I started messing with ProcODT

#

& I'm pretty sure that's the only reason it worked

#

it was kind of a last ditch effort I thought had like a 10% chance of working

#

but somehow it did

frigid stag
#

Oh I didn’t even know that was a thing lol

idle nexus
#

on AMD ya

#

dunno what the equivalent is on Intel

frigid stag
#

Ye me neither. Overclocking doesn’t work too well on my ram kekw

idle nexus
#

I've been running this without incident since about September or October iirc

#

CJR can be rough since you're capped around 1.45v iirc

#

above that I think you gotta worry about degrading the ICs

#

if it wasn't 2x32gb, I wouldn't be happy with it but it's fiiine

#

which CPU?

#

this was a goofy thing I got from watching Buildzoid do dual rank OC. I'm used to tRP being able to run lower than tRCDRD/WR

frigid stag
#

Ah lol

idle nexus
#

grab some inexpensive bdie

frigid stag
#

I only tried loosening some timings but i guess it didn’t want to do more than 500mts over xmp

idle nexus
#

bdie is only silly expensive (still somehow?) if you get 2x16gb

#

2x8 is fairly reasonable

frigid stag
#

The board should support 4266+ so I can get some good ram for it

#

I think there’s some patriot kit that was affordable but they’re only single rank kits so I gotta run 4 sticks for 32

idle nexus
#

oh you wanna run 32gb?

#

4 sticks is usually a little harder

frigid stag
#

Oh damnn this is way cheaper than I thought

#

I was seeing 120$ + 16gb kits kekw

idle nexus
#

if you wanna run 32gb, it's usually a lot easier to do 2x16 than 4x8

#

I mean they're HP & Acer but bdie is bdie lol

#

tbh I kinda like the HP ones

frigid stag
#

I think there was something with these 300 seriesboards working well with 4 sticks but I’m not sure

#

T top ones at least

idle nexus
#

ah ya I remember that

#

topography typography something I dunno

#

but how the board handles the 4 slots lol

#

it's in the ddr4 oc github thing that I think most people learned from

frigid stag
#

Oh I didn’t know about that

#

I kinda learned this stuff from twitter and a few YouTube guides lol

idle nexus
#

this is what I learned from

frigid stag
#

Ah

idle nexus
#

that & bothering basically anyone who would answer questions in various discords lol

sweet phoenix
idle nexus
#

tbh I haven't looked

sweet phoenix
#

mine was $95 on amazon a few years ago and it's stable at 3600c16 (or was, anyways, before i cleared cmos)

idle nexus
#

I've had one set of Micron memory ever

#

that I think are somewhat hard to get

#

they're 4400c19 Ballistix Max iirc

sweet phoenix
#

they range from 3000c16 to 4400c19

#

crucial ballistix and ballistix max

#

or maybe mallistix max is a better diff die

idle nexus
#

I think there was some insane like $300 Micron that was 5000 or something

#

I always thought it was Rev E but someone told me it could be Rev N

DDR4: Samsung 100% best; Micron good depending on Rev; & Hynix was trash except for like DJR (which was only good on 11th gen really), AJR, & some CJR
DDR5: Hynix be like, "is anyone else here? guys?"

frigid stag
#

Oh no it’s not mine

#

I found it in another server

#

Gonna try see if there’s anything for older CPU’s like 8 gen

idle nexus
#

ah ya those can be useful but at the same time, treat them as suggestions or starting points

#

iirc, I've never copied someone else's settings exactly & it worked lol

idle nexus
frigid stag
#

I’m using it to see what works well with what I got but apparently the g skill 3200c14 won’t go above 1.6v

idle nexus
idle nexus
#

maybe theirs won't

#

unless somehow the DIMM restricts it but I'm not sure it's even capable of blocking it lol

#

I have a set of 4000c17-18-18-38 trident royals that kept scaling to like 2.1v

#

honestly tho, after about 1.65v, you need at least a fan blowing directly on the DIMMs

frigid stag
#

32gb?

idle nexus
#

not really. They were cheaper than 3600c14 iirc

#

yes

#

lol I got this thing to keep RAM cool for awhile

frigid stag
#

Oh lol that’s neat

empty tide
#

we going back to the ddr2 days with this

#

is ram generating that much heat now?

idle nexus
#

I finally just said the heck with it & started using Pokemon cards to take off heatspreaders so I could run it on water

#

probably can ig

#

were you setting System Agent & IO voltage?

frigid stag
#

I didn’t want to kill the ram or something. Didn’t know what I was doing with voltages kekw

idle nexus
#

I hit 40C ish on water with DDR5 running 6200c28 at 1.5v-ish

frigid stag
#

I don’t think I did

#

I barely touched dram voltage

#

It was just xmp with a few loosened timings and slightly higher voltage

idle nexus
#

I dunno how your board handles those two voltages on auto but those are the ones you need for higher frequency

frigid stag
#

Are the higher speed kits better for using lower voltages

idle nexus
#

I dunno about 8th gen tbh

frigid stag
#

I mean it should still be skylake like 9 and 10th gen

idle nexus
#

on 10th gen I'd try to keep System Agent voltage at or below 1.4v & IO voltage at or below 1.3v for daily

#

I broke that rule a lot but still lol

cursive compass
#

😆 .

idle nexus
#

4400? the Micron or the Samsung?

#

I used to have some Vipers that were 4400c19

#

the 2x16 royals I have are 4000 not 4400 tho

#

do you have HWiNFO installed?

idle nexus
wraith fern
idle nexus
#

just be careful which ones you get because not all are bdie

#

btw my guess is your motherboard is running around like 0.95v for SA & IO voltage

#

from just googling safe voltages

#

for 8700K I mean

#

if 1.4/1.3 SA/IO is safe on 8700K like it was for 10th gen, you could likely increase frequency a decent amount lol

#

anecdotally, someone claims 1.3 is "safe" for SA & IO

#

what motherboard are you using?

#

I wish the darn QVL showed the IO/SA voltages it used for these https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370 Pro4/index.asp#Memory

#

what's your XMP on your RAM again?

#

IO & SA voltages are here. It doesn't tell you what's "too high" but that's not really surprising considering they don't want RMAs lol

#

I hate when they do this

#

it's like you could've said nothing at all & it would've been more helpful

#

like you can't even be bothered to tell me what the acronyms mean?

#

I have no idea why that's so expensive. I mean, I think RDIMM means that it corrects memory errors (usually for servers afik) but that's wild

#

oh you're trying to get 64gb?

#

tbh it's kinda unnecessary unless you like edit 4k video a lot or something lol

#

I don't really remember seeing bdie on sticks bigger than 16gb each

#

there's definitely CJR that runs high frequency

#

DJR is kinda better for that

#

I have a set of NeoForza 2x16gb DJR that's 4400c19

#

dunno why I always ended up with 4400c19 wth lol

#

I'm pretty sure 2x32gb bdie isn't really a thing

I'm pretty averse to DSC even though I probably shouldn't be

mortal grail
#

Being adverse to dsc is justified

#

Cos it actually looks ass over like 20%

devout forum

My main issue was that I had no idea what percentage DSC is still okay

#

But you just answered that lol

mortal grail
#

Like

#

30-50%

#

Is disgusting

#

20% is tolerable

#

Dual input fixed that

#

Now we have 2.1

#

But also hdmi 2.1 was good up to 4K 144 anyway

#

So like, for the most part, the 4090 was catered for

What's the limit for 1440p refresh on HDMI2.1?

mortal grail
#

2.1 is 38.4gbps

So it adds to somewhere around equivalence of 4K144 10 bit

mortal grail
devout forum
#

Alrighty

mortal grail
#

I think it's closer to like 1440p 360

#

Iirc

#

It depends on a lot of factors

devout forum

Just asking since I'm gonna go OLED with the 4080 and I don't wanna cook it

Nah 1440p 240 def works on the hdmi

DP could be dsc but can't remember rn

#

And I can put the sensor panel on the mobo HDMI

#

Poggers

mortal grail
#

I need an adapter for that

#

Speaking of which

#

I'm using my usb 3 cable instead and my sensor panel driver is using the dgpu

#

I haven't worked out how to sideload it to the igpu, think I need a new sensor panel driver for that

#

I have a thunderbolt cable which should trigger the igpu but rn the driver itself isn't changing it up

#

Not worth me buying a different panel for that tho, that'd be ridiculous

devout forum
#

I'm probs gonna get the Jonsbo one

#

That's HDMI and it runs off of whatever I have it plugged into

Once again I get a dpc watchdog error

No idea what's causing it

elfin mural
#

yikes

#

I don't got cash to replace my ram if it's really bork

#

It likes to happen once every month

#

I think it's time I whip out testmem and run that

mortal grail
#

Dpc watchdog iirc is a stability watchdog for ram channels

#

Dimm per channel watchdog?

#

I could be wrong

#

It's not cpu or gpu tho

#

Cpu is clock watchdog

#

Gpu would be something like video tdr, code 43, nvddmlmkm.dll etc

#

I'm suspect of ram or imc personally

#

Could be wrong tho I haven't googled to double check

elfin mural
#

yeh it's dpc watchdog

#

it never happened until i started using win 11 23h2 tho

it was the big error when the 13/14th gen instability issue broke

elfin mural
#

is it ok if it has like less than 1gb of ram available while tm5 is testing

it's not completely filling it up

mortal grail

elfin mural
#

mortal grail
#

No

#

Normal windows

rancid juniper
# mortal grail Wym fix

Undervolting on RDNA1-2 was very straightforward but this one has you fiddling with the clock speed alot more, instead of relying on fixed max voltage it's just the boosting algorithm doing the work

elfin mural
#

ok

mortal grail
#

You couldn't when I was overclocking it

rancid juniper
#

Heck on max load it can only go as low as 837mv, if I set the voltage lower than 837 on adrenalin, nothing happens

#

Doesn't go lower it seems

mortal grail
#

Well yeah the slider goes only so low

#

But the asic quality determines the need

#

Nvidia does the same thing

rancid juniper
#

Dang

mortal grail
#

You can move sliders and sometimes it ignores based on the perfcap

#

40 series is a great example

#

Crank the power stupid high, it rarely uses all of it completely

#

Why? Cos the limit isn't power, it's voltage

#

Ryzen and RDNA behave very similarly in overclocking

#

You need to think of it more like that

#

PPT, EDC, etc

#

But on a gpu

#

Granted rdna doesn't actually list these things but the boost target behaviour is extremely similar

#

PBO yeets the power, and radeon will boost to that power just like ryzen pbo

Yo. This is my first time using Newegg and I just wanted to get a second opinion

I preordered a B850 mobo a week before it launched and it said it wasn’t back ordered

#

Now it says it should ship by 3/2/2025 but the product page says ETA 1/31/2025

#

Feeling kinda duped like my order got lost in the mix somehow. Or does this sound normal?

#

It was supposed to be a Valentine’s Day gift….

mortal grail
#

Would love to help but this sounds like a question for newegg cs

#

None of us work for newegg

#

And I am not sure anyone here has the two cents experience to tell exactly what happens

#

If it's any consolation though, B650 boards are very equitable too if you can't wait

#

Not really any drawbacks worth mentioning

I think it was a shipment Oopsie tbh but I’m afraid they won’t have the stock to rectify it, but maybe they will price match the Pro RS board for me or at least meet me halfway with a $15 credit. I’ll let you know how it goes
