It's the Clevo P570WM

#

has a 4820k and two GTX 780M's kekbomb

#

It's just been chilling at my job in storage, untouched, for probably 3+ years

#

desktop LGA2011 in a laptop, love it lol

short blade
#

x79 laptop

#

finally, we've reached the pinnacle of humanity

mental turret
#

yea it has the full X79 chipset also LMAO

#

if anyone, i deserve this laptop kekbomb

steady lance
short blade
#

you can use this to find t-top boards

#

under the memory topology section

#

you're better off just buying a 2x16 kit lol

short blade
#

not all t-top boards are expensive but

#

it just makes more sense to buy a 2x16 kit than limit your board selection by that much

steady lance
#

It seems most of the T-Top boards are from Asrock

mental turret
#

Really? what about asus?

#

or EVGA for that matter lol

short blade
#

if you really want to buy a board just for ram oc get a 1dpc board

mental turret
#

Z590 OC Formula + special sauce bios

#

🤓

#

(ik hes on amd)

short blade
#

not sure what's best for am4

#

x570 dark?

#

b550 unify-x?

mental turret
#

No idea honestly

short blade
#

x570 dark hero?

mental turret
#

lets look at some HWbot subs

#

dark hero

short blade
#

oh dark hero isn't even 1dpc lol

mental turret
#

well its amd so lol

#

FCLK restricting mem oc moment

short blade
#

lol the amazon reviews for x570 dark

#

the top review knocked off a star because of the onboard audio

#

that's even worse than I was expecting

#

I was expecting people to complain about 2 ram slots

#

but really? onboard audio???

#

lmao

#

second review complaining no header for case usb-c

#

bro if you bought the x570 dark to put it in a case you are doing something wrong

#

this board was not designed to go in a case ever

mental turret
#

I honestly really wanna try DDR3 OC on a X79 UD7 because of the 1DPC. not sure what the max vdimm is tho. havent been able to find info on that

short blade
#

epower it

mental turret
#

that would be unecessary 💀

#

just a feedback mod

#

prob

short blade
#

reading these reviews from casual users not understanding what an OC board is

#

hilarious

mental turret
#

what do the reviews say besides the audio crap?

short blade
#

multiple complaints about no case usb-c, lack of i/o, and the right angled power connectors making it difficult to work in the case

steady lance
#

These are the boards with T-topology without going into 3000 series boards

Asrock:

  • X570 Extreme4
  • X570 Extreme4 Wifi
  • X570 Phantom Gaming4
  • X570 Phantom Gaming4 Wifi
  • X570 Pro4
  • X570M Pro4
  • X470M Taichi Ultimate
    Asus:
  • X470 Strix F-Gaming
  • X470 Plus Gaming
    Gigabyte:
  • X470 Aorus Gaming 5 Wifi
  • X470 Aorus Gaming 7 Wifi (rev1.0)
  • X470 Aorus Gaming 7 Wifi (rev1.1)
  • X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming
short blade
#

the complaint about the onboard audio is the worst though

#

especially since it's the top review

sudden torrent
#

Sad the list doesn't have more info on B550 boards, those often have better VRMs than X570

#

(plus no chipset fan)

short blade
#

top review for z690 unify-x gave it 3 stars for not having display output

mental turret
#

ah makes sense. best mem OC board for AM4 is the strix b550i gaming.

short blade
#

"I was able to dial in the memory to 7400 @ 34-43-43-34 rock solid (TM5 and WMD passed).

Everything seemed to work well from stress testing the GPU to the memory and more. Gaming was fine too. The problem was once placed under a meaningful CPU load the system would randomly shut down. No warnings, nothing...just complete power off."

#

ah yes

mental turret
#

but eh yea ryzen is just a limiting factor

sudden torrent
#

ITX is often really good for memory OC because 2 slots

#

1dpc

mental turret
#

well yea

short blade
#

your random power offs have nothing to do with your totally stable oc

mental turret
#

I have a VI Impact 🤓

#

kinda have a love hate relationship with it though

short blade
#

at least I don't see anyone complaining about 2 ram slots lol

sudden torrent
#

I almost want to get an ITX board when I end up replacing my AM4 just so I can have that contrast. Giant case, bigger cooler, tiiiiny board

steady lance
#

T-Topology vs 2 dimm which is better out of curiosity?

sudden torrent
#

2 dimm

steady lance
#

I am assuming 2 dimm

sudden torrent
#

Shorter traces and they're not terminating at multiple slots per channel

short blade
steady lance
#

are the x570 boards a lot better then x470?

short blade
#

this is on z690 dark

sudden torrent
steady lance
#

x470 does not have 4.0?

short blade
#

lol wait there's a review from @celest notch on here

sudden torrent
short blade
#

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if the bios is actually missing power limiting

#

but like

#

why are you buying a z690 dark to daily with a power limit

#

💀

steady lance
#

agreed lmao.

sudden torrent
#

It has to have PL1/PL2 settings at least

#

Use those

short blade
#

it probably does

#

but I wouldn't be terribly shocked if it didn't

sudden torrent
#

lol he finishes the review saying people shouldn't overclock

mental turret
short blade
#

z690 dark

mental turret
#

oh yea lmao

#

she needs to bench on that board more KPConfused

steady lance
#

$196 for a X570 Taichi seem good?

mental turret
#

@steady lance why are you lookign for new boards? what's your current?

short blade
#

(if y'all don't know what that is, it's the cult that believes they can survive without food or sometimes water)

steady lance
mental turret
#

oh you have S8D? is it dual rank?

sudden torrent
#

Yeah I've seen those psychos. "I don't need food, I'll live off the sun and air! (but I still eat 1-2 meals a day because I get hungry)"

steady lance
#

Dual rank.

mental turret
#

what bin?

steady lance
#

3933cl16-21-21 something lemme double check.

#

I already tuned it.

mental turret
#

i mean whats the xmp rating

steady lance
#

4000cl18-22-22-42 at 1.4v (complete lie on the voltage btw unless it's my board)

mental turret
#

hm alright

steady lance
#

?

mental turret
#

just thinking about it lol

steady lance
#

my current tune.

#

I could probably tune TRCD by 1 more but I was to lazy at the time.

mental turret
#

I honestly have been looking for dual-rank S8D to daily for a while because they could reasonably be had for so cheap. OEM stuff specifically. have yet to find any 2Rx8 udimms of the stuff though 🗿

short blade
#

the b550m ds3h does have sufficient vrms to handle a 5950x btw

mental turret
#

This is what I bought for 38 USD that's in my daily now. since its jedec bin bdie it's not surprising that it's crap. S8D is more consitently decent. comparatively speaking anyway.

short blade
#

not super well, but it's not throttling

sudden torrent
#

You could take my 4 sticks and frankenstein them into 2 sticks

mental turret
sudden torrent
steady lance
#

if the vrms gets to hot the cpu will down clock correct?

sudden torrent
#

yes, that's a symptom of that

short blade
#

15:29

steady lance
#

yeah I will probably get a new board before new ram after I upgrade cpu.

short blade
#

handles 3950x without throttling

steady lance
#

Btw does a 5950x bottleneck a 4090 a lot?

short blade
#

at 1440p? yes definitely

#

at 4k? ehh might depend on the game

sudden torrent
#

Everything bottlenecks a 4090 at 1440p

steady lance
short blade
#

dunno, you can probably find some reviews that show this

short blade
#

userbenchmark says gamers only need a 9600K

#

smh my head

steady lance
#

lmao.

sudden torrent
#

It does depend on the game tested blah blah

short blade
#

anyways time to sleep

#

I would still recommend not bothering with board upgrade in the end

#

just get 2x16 b-die and let your ram fan cool the vrms a bit

#

since you're going with such an oversized 180mm

#

honestly not sure how you fit that

sudden torrent
#

Yeah not much point. For what you spend on a mobo it's not worth being able to get slightly cheaper memory.

short blade
#

but if it fits it fits

#

if you bother with a board upgrade it might as well be next gen

#

alright gn

sudden torrent
#

I'm out too, g'night

steady lance
#

how do I calculate the wattage for vrms I forgot?

steady lance
short blade
short blade
#

raptor lake voltages are very fun

#

notice how the exact same settings can error at 19699% or at 7%

sterile ridge
#

OS death 😭

short blade
#

yes

#

boot straight into a windows 95 looking error message that says something about winlogon.exe being lost or damaged

#

surprisingly, you can't log on without winlogon.exe

#

who knew

sterile ridge
#

wow that must be fun to experience

short blade
#

nothing new

steady lance
#

@sudden torrent, @short blade, after many failed attempts I managed to do it and did it clean.

#

Mohahahhaa

short blade
#

the cable management?

#

or are you talking about the fan up top

steady lance
#

The fan. The cable managed isn't good ik. Cables are to short so I gotta look into extensions.

short blade
#

for ram airflow you want it to be blowing directly onto the modules

steady lance
#

It is though.

short blade
#

like you can see my ram fans are aimed directly down on the ram slots like this

#

hard to describe with words

steady lance
short blade
#

yes

#

I understand

steady lance
#

Oh, wouldn't both ways work though?

short blade
#

but it's not as effective as the orientation I showed you

#

trust me, I'm speaking with the experience of everyone who has used a ram fan ever lol

#

even with 2 tiny 60mm fans in that orientation it's a 10c drop under load

#

direct down is better

steady lance
#

What if I just max out the rpm on the 180mm that should get similar results I presume?

short blade
#

meh

#

probably not

#

and it'll probably be louder

#

just try putting a fan on top of your gpu aiming at it

#

doesn't need to pretty

steady lance
#

Anyways I can check my ram and VRMs temps?

short blade
#

yeah

#

I mean the way you have it is probably helping

#

just not as effective as it could be

steady lance
#

What if I swapped out my exhaust for a 180mm on top of the GPU?

#

Damn at max speed I am moving some serious air in here.

#

What's a good temp for my VRMs to be at during load?

#

Currently running r23.

steady lance
#

Just ran TM5 with the fans at full speed and the ram is quite chilly.

steady lance
#

What kind of heatsinks would work on DDR4?

short blade
#

I just grabbed a ddr3 heatsink and it fit

steady lance
short blade
#

nice

steady lance
#

During normal loads it's around 25-30c.

short blade
#

how about the ram?

#

b-die should be kept below 45c

steady lance
#

I can only judge by touch. My ram was slightly warmer then room temp which is 20c.

short blade
#

could be a good thing could be a bad thing

steady lance
#

that's after a couple rounds of TM5.

short blade
#

if the heat is stuck in the ICs then the heatspreaders won't be warm lol

steady lance
#

prior to the fan upgrade my ram got much hotter.

short blade
#

well, guess you can find out when you buy b-die

steady lance
#

yep.

#

I am probably gonna buy those G.SKill royal b-die.

How many runs of ycruncher do you usually run when testing?

#

So far I’ve been running it for 2 hours without any errors at 6800c36-40-40

sudden torrent
#

That depends, how stable are you looking for it to be?

wheat lintel
#

For daily

sudden torrent
#

Daily stable a few hours is probably enough

#

If you needed 100% rock stable you'd do 72 hours minimum

wheat lintel
#

Also do you have a range of what I should set tWR to? No matter what I set it to I can’t get a post

sudden torrent
#

Bench stable... if it passes a run it's good lol

wheat lintel
#

Rn I have it set to auto

sudden torrent
#

For what die again?

wheat lintel
#

Hynix

#

No idea if it’s A or M

sudden torrent
#

Oh DDR5?

wheat lintel
#

Yeah

sudden torrent
#

Uh hang on

steady lance
#

Besides, Ram, CPU, GPU anything else I can tune to increase perf?

wheat lintel
#

Technically you can tune everything but it really isn’t that worth it iirc

sudden torrent
#

Overclock yourself

#

Caffeine is fun

steady lance
#

So already doing that.

sudden torrent
#

Smart

wheat lintel
#

I overclock myself by running 700V through me daily

sudden torrent
#

Only 700V? I have to do a taser jolt to wake up in the morning and get the blood pumping. About 10kV

wheat lintel
#

I ain’t joking about that, I forget to turn off my DC power supply and zap myself

#

It’s only 0.5 mA at most so not the biggest deal

sudden torrent
#

Yeah it's current that kills but ouch

wheat lintel
#

Not as bad as the time I shocked myself with 650V @ 2A

That was a hell of a day

You're running 6800 64gb on a gigabyte?

Yep

Cos gigabyte is nasty for mem oc

wheat lintel

Is it actually? I thought it was supposed to be pretty good

kind walrus

On other platforms yes

sudden torrent

BZ left tWR on auto with 4x16gb lol

Even their special xoc board the z790 tachyon is full of cope

wheat lintel

For 64Gb I think my aida64 results are pretty good

kind walrus
#

I haven't looked too closely but 6800 on a gigabyte is not bad

#

Tightening the subs should be somewhat easy after that

#

The timings are the easier part on ddr5, it's the voltages that drive a man to madness

wheat lintel
#

I’ll send a ss of Asrock timing configurator

#

There are so many goddamn voltages to set it’s driving me crazy

kind walrus

…shut up

wheat lintel
#

I’m bout to get bullied by him LOL

short blade
#

I'm not even on ddr5 and the voltages are still stupid

#

it's a raptor lake problem, not a ddr5 problem

It’s a usual thing whenever I ask anything ram OC related kekAnimated

short blade
#

do I bully you?

wheat lintel
#

Jokingly

short blade

I was under the impression that I've helped you every time you asked

wheat lintel

Oh you did, I meant bullied in a joking sense

#

You never actually did bully me

short blade
#

maybe I'll bully you if you buy a dell or something

wheat lintel
#

I bought a Lenovo

short blade
#

at least lenovo prebuilts are actually good though except for the whole memory speeds thing

wheat lintel
#

@ancient bridge has my old ram from it LOL

short blade
#

does it overclock at all in a different mobo?

#

like can it at least do something like 3200 16-18-18 1.35v

#

the baseline

wheat lintel
#

No idea yet, I sent it to Danny because I didn’t have a platform to test it on

#

My one good DDR4 platform is being used by my dad for work so I can’t mess around with ram OC

short blade
#

lol just corrupt all his work files

wheat lintel
#

Ahh yes

#

Only DDR4 I have left rn is a 64Gb 3200C16-20-20 kit

#

And a 2x4Gb 3000c16-16-16

#

That used to be a 4x4 kit sold 2 of the sticks

#

Both kits are hynix die

#

For mem ref clock, what should I have it set to? 100 or 133?

@short blade

#

Theres a good bit of auto timings but i think its decent so far

Damn I screwed up my tertiaries

#

Not sure what I did but no more posting

#

Yaaaay

finite frigate
# short blade lol no

theoretically if your board autos >106 with 65535/4 trefi, theres no benefit from tuning it, but with your silly ass kit, maxing out to 127 might actually have some benefit

short blade
#

ok i'll let you know when i'm done with voltages in about 64 years

finite frigate
wheat lintel
#

I’ve read online that I should be use tWRPRE and tWRPDEN to set my tWR?

#

Any truth to this?

sudden torrent
#

On intel yes

#

In fact that's the recommended method from what I've seen

wheat lintel
#

How would I go about it?

#

Can’t really find an explanation for it

finite frigate
#

keep twr on auto and lower the other two by two

wheat lintel
#

What should I set them to initially?

finite frigate
#

i dunno d5 so just like

#

uh

#

try whatever they auto to initially and lower from there

wheat lintel
#

Okay

sudden torrent
#

tWR is one of those timings where it can be stable for a while and then error a few hours into testing

finite frigate
#

yeah good luck 💀

sudden torrent
#

That's why it's generally recommended to be done last

finite frigate
#

i shotgun clocked my twr and called it

sudden torrent
#

I just said "eh, 14 should work right?"

finite frigate
#

d5 is silly tho

sudden torrent
#

Not like 12 is much better than 14 anyway

#

I can do 10 when benching but it does get unstable

finite frigate
#

im not even done tuning yet but im really too lazy to continue

#

this is really the end stage of "3 hours of tuning =1%"

sudden torrent
#

I feel that

#

It's that last few % that takes the most effort

finite frigate
#

yeah

#

i feel like im more limited by being unable to drop trfc at all 💀

#

i can prolly do 540 but

#

the 3 years of testing isnt worth

wheat lintel
#

I’ve got all this stable, not 100% on where to go from here

sudden torrent
#

lol b-die ftw on that one
Slap 250 on it and call it good

finite frigate
#

basically yeah

#

im not buying anything for this rig cpu or ram wise anymore

#

no point to on z590

#

i do want a 40 series card though but i want a card with red elements on it, not just lights

wheat lintel
#

Which tertiaries should I start out with?

#

Because I think I’ve done everything I could secondarycwise

finite frigate
#

on d4 i start by tuning wrrd_sg/dg's for tWTR tuning

wheat lintel
#

Ok

short blade
#

i need to upgrade my monitor

#

my voltages spreadsheet is too wide for 2560px

#

smh

sudden torrent
short blade
#

just gonna abbreviate timing names

humble jay
short blade
#

this is fun, i'm having fun

#

the most annoying part about this imc is that it behaves so inconsistently sometimes

sudden torrent
#

It's consistently inconsistent

finite frigate
#

i fricking

#

reset my cmos without saving my mem profile 😐

short blade
#

just spend so long on your tune that you have every bios setting memorized

finite frigate
#

oh this is pain

finite frigate
#

just not my sa/io

sudden torrent
#

I found out that my bios saves it's profiles outside the cmos so clearing doesn't erase my onboard saved profiles

short blade
#

isn't that normal

sudden torrent
#

Not on my old board

short blade
#

wack

#

i can also type out every bios setting for my laptop from memory

#

because

#

well

#

it doesn't have profiles LOL

sudden torrent
#

I needed a USB on my X470 to save, onboard would get wiped

short blade
#

every time i cleared cmos i had to type everything back in

#

i put all my settings in a discord channel at first

#

but eventually just memorized it all

finite frigate
#

dear lord what was my sa and io2

short blade
#

timings, cpu voltage, cpu multiplier, cache voltage, SA voltage, power tweaks, etc

finite frigate
#

1.25 for them booted but it took 3 years to boot

#

let’s find out if this errors instantly i guess

#

â

#

i know i had 1.55dram

finite frigate
#

@modern walrus how does one go about tuning RTT's

short blade
#

same as timings

#

change number hope stable

#

80/0/40 or 80/0/48 usually a good starting point for b-die

#

seen 80/0/240 recommended for rev. e

#

but I think you're limited to 160?

#

so not sure how that'll work

finite frigate
short blade
#

no

#

whatever works works

finite frigate
#

oh lol

short blade
#

set intentionally unstable voltage and see what impact different RTT settings have on error time

#

look at my spreadsheet for an example

finite frigate
#

i feel like

#

i should just not care

#

about rtts

short blade
#

a lot of people never bother going into rtts

finite frigate
#

does 11th get RTL? cause i cant find any info on how to tune rtl on rkl

short blade
#

but they can sometimes be a huge help and really aren't that much effort

finite frigate
#

does not work

short blade
#

if it posts it's probably stable

#

if it doesn't post then live with auto

finite frigate
#

sounds good 👏

short blade
#

boards tend to be pretty good at training RTLs nowadays

#

very common that you can't even post 1 below auto

finite frigate
#

cool great

#

i bought mem test pro

short blade
#

I'm really enjoying karhu cause of stop on error and beep on error lol

#

I can run overnight without worrying

finite frigate
#

10 euro for karhu is steep for something im going to use 1 time

short blade
#

and make it beep through speaker

#

someone just shared their license with me lol

finite frigate
#

o lol

#

ooh

#

i already have a buyer for my 7700k rig

short blade
#

how much

#

and what specs

finite frigate
#

570, 7700k, 16gb c-die, probs a 500gb ssd, and a 1tb hdd

finite frigate
#

essentially, no matter what specs(obviously not like 3080s or whatever), i sell computers to my friends for 200$ but if they upgrade, they give me the old parts back

short blade
#

interesting

finite frigate
#

thats how im getting it back in the first place

short blade
#

nice of you though lol

finite frigate
#

i usually end up getting my moneys worth tbh

short blade
#

I go bed now gl with the rabbit hole

finite frigate
#

oh i just want to check if actually stable

#

probs just do 3k% or something not ultra nerdy and call it a day cause i just go amimir and wake up to stable computer

i love raptor lake very consistent platform that makes a lot of sense

I am considering giving another shot at Overclocking my GPU. Would do you guys think is the most effective method to do a stable OC on a 3070?

kind walrus
#

Undervolt

steady lance
#

Undervolt without oc?

kind walrus
#

With or without you'd see some gains in some way

#

I mean with

steady lance
#

Do I overclock first to see what's the highest clocks I can get then Undervolt like you'd do with a CPU?

kind walrus
#

3070 you use the turing method

#

This gives you the basic foundation knowledge

#

Then you fine tune to your specific gpu

#

I would add a bit of redundancy in your overclock to allow for extra stability in case of a particularly bad game

#

Some games can be so bad they basically like stock and that's it

steady lance
#

Alright will watch it later. Also I am kinda confused I thought undervolting is for power efficiency at the cost of perf?

steady lance
#

That game hates any GPU OC no matter how stable.

kind walrus
kind walrus
steady lance
#

I meant warzone by MW2.

kind walrus
#

Oh, is that what they call it now?

#

I thought they were 2 different games

steady lance
#

Well if you wanna get technical the full name is

Modern Warfare II Warzone II

kind walrus
#

Shows how much I really have no interest in COD

steady lance
#

But nobody says that.

steady lance
kind walrus
#

Mmm

#

Yes and no

#

It's using enough power, but there's always margin of stability, you close that margin down with OC, the same with undervolting

steady lance
#

Think I sorta follow.

#

Also brb like 5m.

kind walrus
#

It's basically the same as offsetting on afterburner as a default but you do it by hand

#

It's just a little bit better

steady lance
#

aight.

short blade
#

speaking from lots of experience, there are currently no synthetic tests that will actually ensure stability of your gpu oc/uv

#

so you kinda just need to play games where it doesn't matter too much if you crash (and/or you can save progress often) and see how it goes

short blade
#

define a bit of redundancy

#

my 1070 couldn't run +12 in any game despite being able to do anywhere between +120-210 in occt (various shader complexities and usage limits), all 3dmark tests, superposition 1080p med, superposition 1080p extreme, superposition 4k optimized, etc.

#

testing in games is just better

steady lance
#

Anyone know why MW2 hates any kind of GPU oc?

short blade
#

personally i've found a combination of battlefield v campaign, genshin, and cyberpunk rt to be much more effective than any synthetic gpu test

for bfv and cyberpunk, just push settings as hard as possible, good for testing heavy raster and heavy RT loads

for genshin, tune settings until you're hitting about 80-90% of power limit (this stops being practical at like 4080/4090 level), good for testing the higher points of your v/f curve that you usually don't hit in heavier games. (this is much less useful when undervolting)

i've also found that genshin is also very effective for catching minor vram instability that you won't even catch looking for regression in 3dmark or in many other games, the falling particles in inazuma city are very sensitive and very prone to glitching out when your vram is just a tiny bit too high

short blade
#

i've run gpu ocs through mw2 fine

steady lance
short blade
#

okay and?

steady lance
#

But absolutely hates MW2.

#

Well to be more specific I am talking about Warzone.

short blade
#

"the ram oc i did works in tm5 and y-cruncher but bsods in HCI, it's obviously stable, why does HCI hate ram oc?"

#

your gpu oc being okay in other games doesn't mean it should be stable in mw2

steady lance
#

So I should use MW2 for my oc tests then?

short blade
#

it just means mw2 is pushing the stability harder than the other games you've tried

#

i haven't personally tested mw2, but sure

#

i only run the mw2 benchmark, i have no interest in playing the game

#

if it's the game you see instability in then it's a good place to start

steady lance
#

Would the benchmark work as good or similar to the game?

short blade
#

no clue, like i said i have no interest in playing mw2

#

that includes warzone

steady lance
#

aight.

short blade
#

test it yourself

#

let me know though, i'm interested

steady lance
#

will do. Gonna do some tests later.

short blade
#

might as well get some use out of this game that was given to me

#

came for free with my cpu

steady lance
#

oh neat.

short blade
#

i have 2 cod games and i didn't buy either of them lol

#

my 3080 was bundled with cold war and my 13700K was bundled with mw2

steady lance
#

MW2 is pretty decent if you enjoy realistic shooters (real to a certain degree).

short blade
#

i am not good at shooters

#

anyways

#

just to demonstrate my point about games being better to test with

#

when i was tuning my 3080, i was able to run +210 offset or an undervolt of 1965mhz @ 0.875V through time spy

then i played one mission of battlefield v and by the time i managed to make it through without crashing i was down to +90 offset or an undervolt of 1905mhz @ 0.900V

#

this time spy result here is completely detached from the reality of what the card was able to accomplish

kind walrus
#

ugh I just dc anymore

short blade
#

my 3070 was able to run 2130 - 2200mhz in synthetics, but in actual gaming it was more like 2055 - 2070mhz to be stable

#

at 1.081V (i flashed a 350w vbios to that 3070, so it was basically always voltage limited and not power limited)

steady lance
#

You installed a custom bios?

short blade
#

it was a 3070 TUF and i gave it the VBIOS of a 3070 STRIX

#

VBIOS flashing isn't something i would recommend for daily usage

#

i did it for benchmarks

#

if it's something you are interested in, check the following considerations:

  1. you have a working igpu (strongly recommended)
  2. your card has a dual bios switch (strongly recommended)

OR

1 and 2) you have a ch341a programmer

  1. your card has 2x8-pin power connectors (if not, you will get some odd and possibly not very useful results from the flash)
  2. your card has enough cooling headroom that you think it can handle a higher power target (strongly recommended)
  3. your card has decent vrms/vrm cooling (strongly recommended)
  4. your card is an asus model (not sure honestly, the asus cards use 2x hdmi 3x displayport, possible some of your display outputs may act strangely if you flash 3070 strix vbios to a model that doesn't have the same layout)
  5. your power supply has enough headroom to increase gpu power (required)
#

vbios flash gone wrong can soft-brick your card, so it's important to have a recovery plan (1 and 2)

#

i see you have an XC3 ultra, which doesn't have a dual bios switch
flashing to 3070 strix may have strange issues especially with different fan controller and all that
the most practical vbios flash option would be to FTW3 ultra, but you're only gaining 30 watts power limit from that flash
people have reported fan issues from flashing 3070 XC3 to 3070 FTW3 as well
i would just not do it if i were you

short blade
#

progress

short blade
#

@finite frigate @wheat lintel so i might know why you two weren't able to apply 80/0/240 RTTs like i suggested

#

and it may have to do with me being stupid

#

apparently MSI lists the RTTs in a different order from other manufacturers

#

maybe rttwr caps at 160 and rttpark caps at 240, i'm not sure

#

anyways, it would be
RttNom 0
RttWr 80
RttPark 240

finite frigate
short blade
#

also, idr if you two have 4x8 or 2x16 kits

#

rtts will be different on 4 dimms

finite frigate
#

4x8, he has ddr5 now 💀

short blade
finite frigate
#

oh ok

#

i assume twr is too lol

short blade
#

my current theory is that i've been misattributing extremely intermittent errors from other sources to tWR

#

so i wanted to try to eliminate intermittent errors by tuning every voltage that exists to the absolute perfect tick

finite frigate
#

💀

short blade
#

and now i am testing tWR again after all that

#

if i still get intermittent errors, i can be pretty sure that it's actually the fault of tWR

finite frigate
#

i can probably go further than this, maybe even higher freq, but do i care?

short blade
#

my brain just doesn't want to accept that tWR actually needs to be at 11.6ns on a b-die kit

#

i want to think it's just skill issue

finite frigate
#

cause it shouldnt

#

lol

#

i know your bdie kit is garbage but it really shouldnt be ultra high

short blade
#

possibly the only time in human history that someone has wanted to think that they have skill issue

finite frigate
#

that and trefi

short blade
#

i may have also misattributed tREFI

finite frigate
#

also your trefi issues were not cause of trefi but caused by the reefi

short blade
#

i am testing that now

finite frigate
#

yes

short blade
#

notice that i have it at 65535 currently

#

i've found that it's just extremely easy to misattribute errors on this platform

finite frigate
#

trefi is referesh interval, longer it takes for it to refresh the cell, meaning errors have more time to show up per cell refresh

#

so trefi causes the issue, but it is not the issue

short blade
#

anyways, here's how tWR is going so far

finite frigate
#

i assume tcke only goes as low as 2 on z690

short blade
#

yes

finite frigate
#

figured

short blade
#

it's also not actually a relevant timing

finite frigate
#

its 4 on z590

short blade
#

so setting it to the lowest and forgetting it is fine

finite frigate
#

yea

short blade
#

it's only used when power down mode is enabled

#

doesn't matter if i set it to 2 or leave it at auto

#

just set it cause low number = more dopamine

finite frigate
#

why i didnt change it lol

#

no reason to

short blade
#

anyways, i'll be happy enough to get tWR of 18 or 20

#

so hopefully it's possible

#

tWR 18 at 4133 is 8.71 ns, that's fine

finite frigate
#

are your rdwr's also on auto

short blade
#

no

finite frigate
#

15 seems high

short blade
#

it's because i have tCWL at 12

finite frigate
#

oh you did the ol tradeoff

#

high rdwr low cwl

#

ok

short blade
#

i will try to run 10/15/15/15/15 and 10/16/16/16/16 again later

#

i believe 10/16/16/16/16 is stable

#

10/15/15/15/15 errored intermittently, but i don't know if that's because of tRDWR or something else

#

for now i am just using safe 12/15/15/15/15

finite frigate
#

fair

short blade
#

15s were actually the auto values, but with tCWL at 18

#

so dropping tCWL by 6-8 without needing to raise tRDWR is nice enough

finite frigate
#

running such a low freq makes my life easy even on crap rev.e

#

does make me want to do 3866 or 3900

#

i was able to drop trfc by a whole 30 from jedec

#

i love rev.e 😐

short blade
#

that's abnormal

finite frigate
#

i cant post any lower than 530

finite frigate
short blade
#

i dailied tRFC at 115 below jedec, but was able to go further down stable at lower temperatures

finite frigate
#

maybe im just unlucky

#

i have ram fan and everything

#

:(

#

trfc is something i would actually benefit from too

short blade
#

i love tWR

Round 2 of shotgunning DDR5 timings

#

Getting kinda decent at this

#

Round 1 only one of my timings was unstable

#

@short blade I hate my IMC, my OC that passed through a 24hr run of ycruncher is no longer stable

short blade
#

welcome to raptor lake

wheat lintel
#

Nvm my mobo was being dumb, it was trying to load one of my tertiaries as 0 instead of Auto

wheat lintel
#

You got any advice for setting tertiaries?

#

Either my ram can barely handle tighter tertiaries or I’m doing something wrong

#

@modern walrus you got any ideas?

short blade
#

tertiaries aren’t guaranteed to tighten down a lot

#

I mean

#

nothing is guaranteed to tighten down a lot

#

as you can see from my tWR that can’t even move from auto

#

advice for tertiaries is the same as everything else

#

drop number hope stable

#

usually there’s no reason to run any non-flat tRDWR values

wheat lintel
#

Wdym non-flat?

short blade
#

like you have 20/20/22/22

#

not 20/20/20/20

#

same with tRDRD and tWRWR

#

usually no point to run not x/8/x/x

wheat lintel
#

I’ll give that a try, maybe that’ll get rid of the errors

#

Rn I’m getting only 1 error after 20 minutes of ycruncher

#

So basically flat 16 for RDRD and WRWR

#

And flat 20 for RDWR?

short blade
#

tRDRD and tWRWR should be x/8/x/x, not flat

#

dd timings actually don't matter if you only have 2 dimms

#

dd stands for different dimm lol

#

if you have 2x DR you can do x/8/x/1

if you have 2x SR you can do x/8/1/1

wheat lintel
#

Wdym by the x?

#

As in auto?

steady lance

My clips didn't hold on the 180mm fan in perfectly so I had to redo it and decided that if I am gonna put fans blowing down on the VRMs and such I may as well go big or go home with dual 180mm fans.

wheat lintel

16/8/16/16 is nice and stable

My auto value for X was 16 and no errors after 35 minutes of ycruncher

This is where im at so far

#

I just ran Aida64 and my latency is 61.7 ns. I feel like that’s high for what I’m tuned to rn

steady lance
#

Would upping my core voltage allow my cpu to hit 4.8ghz more often?

wheat lintel
#

What cpu?

steady lance
#

5700G.

#

I know it hits 4.8ghz pretty regularly with my undervolt but I am wondering if I should up the voltage so it's more frequent.

#

R7-5700G - CoreCycler test #8
Override:
+200mhz
Offsets:
-30
-30
-30
-24
-25
-30
-30
-30
Cores:

1 pass
2 pass
3 pass
4 pass
5 pass
6 pass
7 pass

#

Those are the undervolts and override I am currently working with that's stable.

steady lance
#

Just ran r23 and looked at CPU-Z and all my cores can hit 4.8GHz with 5 of them frequently hitting those speeds and the other 3 hitting them on occasion.

#

Would upping the core voltage help them sustain those speeds?

wheat lintel
#

Not bad, not bad i think

steady lance
#

My clocks dropped by like 400mhz

wheat lintel
#

Baaaaah I’m just ever so slightly unstable

#

my clc has p14s on it

wheat lintel
#

Completely unrelated but what is a good value for tCKE?

#

4 is unstable for me

finite frigate
#

how

wheat lintel
#

I think tCKE is causing it to be unstable at least

finite frigate
#

tCKE is only accessed in power down mode, cke is NOT unstable

kind walrus
#

I can't remember what I used

wheat lintel
#

Weird, back to testing timings then

#

I’m so close to being done with this

#

I have 6 P12s on my CLC

finite frigate
#

tCKE doesnt need to be changed, basically ever, it will NEVER make a diff to performance, so either set it to the lowest value your platform allows or just keep it on auto

kind walrus
#

The tCKE I was using on ddr5 was 30 but it might vary on board

#

I can say that's somewhat reliable cos I tested basically every timing on that damn kit

#

Down to RTT's

wheat lintel
#

tWR is being so annoying rn

finite frigate
#

what are your timings looking like right now?

wheat lintel
#

Give me a sec, loading back into windows

finite frigate
#

kk

wheat lintel
#

I just loosened my tWR by a decent amount

finite frigate
# wheat lintel

i dont know if ddr5 is any different, but that tfaw is impossible/useless

kind walrus
#

Your trfc is hilariously low

#

Tfaw 16 yes is pointless on ddr5 it'll just default to the lowest 32 on most boards

#

Trefi can be higher, that's the ddr4 limit not ddr5

#

Ddr5 goes up to 261120

#

Tertiaries are loose

finite frigate
#

trefi being really high can cause issues

kind walrus
#

Yes but 65K is low af on ddr5

#

131K or higher or don't bother

#

The loss is too big

finite frigate
#

yeah, but values of like 200k can cause issues with stability, since youre not refreshing as much

#

any change of trefi will require extensive stress testing

kind walrus
#

You may as well step down 200MHz tho for the perf loss if you can't run it high

#

It's quite a big difference

#

131K minimum imo

finite frigate
#

yeah i guess its kinda fair, but whos to say its only 200MHz, trefi is not a fun timing to tune and its nearly impossible to test trefi itself

kind walrus
#

When you're riding the bleeding edge it can rear it's ugly head a little

#

But dialling it back can make finding the voltage sweet spot easier

finite frigate
#

yeah, but if you wnt to actually consistently stress trefi its a whole thing

#

the best way to test trefi is leaving every timing the same and just clapping freq SUPER low

#

so its something you HAVE to do after you test every other timing

#

trefi is ultra annoying

kind walrus
#

On ddr4 it def is

#

Ddr5 tho you get this inconsistency bs through voltages

finite frigate
#

which just makes it more annoying 💀

kind walrus
#

You can retrain the same settings and the whole thing goes from rock solid to custard

#

And certain settings left auto on the board you'd normally never touch are the culprits

#

Like dynamic settings on MSI boards in ram settings make for a bad time

finite frigate
#

its kinda sad but gigabyte has one of the best forms of ram oc autos 💀

kind walrus
#

If you don't set those up manually you'll get the "10000% stable, next boot 5 minutes until bsod" crap

Try like, 7/28

finite frigate
#

kind walrus
#

Or 6/24

finite frigate
#

2/2/8

kind walrus
#

I couldn't get 8/8 stable on my board I had to follow jedec guidance

finite frigate
#

and it passed the hardest memory test in gb3

kind walrus
#

Also cos UX is dumb and you can't go below 7 on TRRD_S

finite frigate
#

IT DID NOT LIKE THAT

kind walrus
#

It totally could've done 6/24 if the firmware allowed it

finite frigate
#

1/9th performance loss by that 💀

#

lemme run it again to be sure tho

short blade
#

I for some reason got in my head that it was tFAW=4* one of those

short blade
#

tRRD_S * 4 for tRRD_L? not tFAW?

kind walrus
#

Tfaw 32 and no lower

short blade
#

kind walrus
#

Below 32 purely doesn't work

Wait but I found this though

finite frigate
#

let me see

short blade
#

you should actually see if 3/3/12 is stable and/or gives you any benefit

kind walrus
#

Can say what you want but 8/8 did not work on my 13th gen and hynix, just made 💩 worse

short blade
#

could try 8/16/32

finite frigate
#

i re ran 3/3/12

#

its actually consistent

#

2/2/8 sucks

#

Also I can’t post 12/8/12/12 on tRDRD and tWRWR

#

Unless I’m also supposed to bring 8 down too

short blade
