@slim ledge galvanic corrosion likely wont cause anything to the die, its more of a concern with the IHS and CPU block (whether it be a waterblock or air)

the point is that there are particular IHS and block materials often used to mitigate or stop galvanic corrosion

#

Gallium won't harm the silicon/die in any sane use case.
The problem is gallium/alloys in contact with IHS's that aren't nickel etc -
Gallium will displace Al for example, never heard that process referred to as galvanic corrosion, but it's to be avoided

#

Silver and gold work very differently to prevent galvanic corrosion - in a semi-conductive coolant loop made from parts of mixed metals - e.g alluminum and nickel. Silver is a great sacrificial anode, gold is just noble

either way, both are quite effective

so what about zinc being used in thermal compound then? Thats what is in my Z9 compound and it does seem to transfer the heat pretty well. Thankfully i have a water cooling loop with a non conductive coolant that thermaltake makes

Cause I building a specific build called spectre v2 and the motherboard intended is the AsRock b450m Pro4 but it is oos rn so I went with that cause that was advised as a good alternative

it does the job

2600 can OC

@charred marten depends on what the rams max speed is

@sterile ridge idk some sites said its safe to overclock since they don’t produce much heat but i wanna be sure lol

sterile ridge Mar 7, 2020, 2:35 PM

@charred marten send your ram and mobo

#

@charred marten read the subtitle for this channel and make certain you understand what it means

latent wolf Mar 8, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

@charred marten Yes it is safe to overclock your RAM to that speed. I had 16gb DDR3 1600mhz and safely overclocked it to 2200mhz with no problem by changing timings on it. It was stable and never had any issues with it either. RAM doesnt produce as much heat as a processor does and will only go as fast as you set it essentially. Now The MOBO does have OC capabilites of what the MAX RAM speed is in OC mode. if its 2666 from 2400 that is a safe OC as most overclocks are safe anywhere from 10-15%. anything over that you run the risk of burning components out.

proven canopy Mar 8, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

Attempting and failing a high memory clock only risks corrupting your windows install.
Increasing your memory (or other) voltage(s) can risk component failure.

latent wolf Mar 9, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

True. With the Overclock he is looking for though is a Safe one as it wont stress the RAM much and shouldnt need any additional voltage to get that frequency. Its more of a timings change to go from 2400 to 2666

sterile ridge Mar 9, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

@latent wolf but would it even be worth it at that point?

latent wolf Mar 9, 2020, 1:52 PM

Depends on the Processor you have @sterile ridge If its a Ryzen yes. Ryzen loves RAM clock speeds. Intel no it wouldnt. Intel processors prefer amount over clock speed.

sterile ridge Mar 9, 2020, 1:55 PM

Amount of ram? Lol what

Why does the ram amount matter?

latent wolf Mar 9, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

More available channels if all 4 DIMMS are being used

#

Sure 4x16gb would enable Dual Channel on the motherboard but you can do the same with 2x4 depending on the slots

#

Its just from my experience that Intel CPUs are RAM hungry and the more you have in the system the better they work.

sterile ridge Mar 9, 2020, 2:01 PM

4x16? You mean 4x8?

latent wolf Mar 9, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

Yeah Sorry Typo

sterile ridge Mar 9, 2020, 2:01 PM

It will only work better if you need more ram

#

If you arent using 16gb on intel, its fine

#

Same with ryzen

latent wolf Mar 9, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

May be. I can only speak from my experience with Intel processors

#

Ryzen responds better with a higher RAM clock. You can have 8gb at 3600mhz and Ryzen will run amazing but 8gb at 2200mhz the system will seem slow.

#

Something to do with the drivers or just the way the CPU is coded. Im not sure which one it is. It might be neither

sterile ridge Mar 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

Neither

latent wolf Mar 9, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

Ok

#

I know Jayztwocents did say that Ryzen loves clock speed on the RAM

sterile ridge Mar 9, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

Most Ryzen CPUs are built with what they call CCX's. One CCX is generally composed of four full fledged cores and some amount of L3 cache. A typical Ryzen 7 chip will have two of these CCX's on one package.
The thing is that these two CCXs need to communicate with each other. That's where something what AMD calls Infinity Fabric comes in. This technology allows these two CCXs (and more if we're talking about Threadripper) to communicate with each other. However, as fast as it needs to be, priority of resources are often "bottlenecked" by the RAM speed since the infinity fabric is tied with the speed of the memory controller.
Therefore, if the memory speed is faster, communication and processing becomes more efficient. This is different with Intel as I believe the memory controller is fully separate from their processing cores (keep in mind it's still all in one package).

#

Word blob sorry

latent wolf Mar 9, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

Its cool

#

Ok That would make sense why a Ryzen Works better with RAM speed

#

It allows the CCX's to communicate faster and not be bottlenecked

sterile ridge Mar 9, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

Exactly

latent wolf Mar 9, 2020, 2:07 PM

So the theory that Ryzen runs better at highere clock speeds is correct

#

It was just more detailed than I originall thought

I know there's some silicon lotto involved, but does anyone know a safe method of GPU overclocking? I'm experimenting to try and get the most I can out of my ROG 1660 super and am not having much luck. I've been going in 50 MHz core clock increments and 75 MHz memory clock speed increments and been having inconsistent results
and by inconsistent results I mean random windows UI crashes
I'll just see a spike to 100% GPU utilization in afterburner for no reason and then bam

hard ice Mar 21, 2020, 7:38 AM

#

50mhz is a massive jump

#

go slower

errant carbon Mar 21, 2020, 7:41 AM

#

really?

#

afterburner makes it seem so insignificant lol

#

I'll try 10 MHz increments then

#

how about memory clock speeds?

hard ice Mar 21, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

@errant carbon consider this: there was a reason why we got real happy back in the day when we could finally do 1mhz increments when doing any OC

I'm just a zoomer man, I'm new to this stuff haha

dim plank Mar 24, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

hello guys. I have a ryzen 5 3400G and it's idling at 1.4v. Any solution in the BIOS? I am currently using a negative offset to lessen the voltage spike when in full load.

manic helm Mar 24, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

negative offset is really the only option. Fixed voltage will never idle at anything lower than the fixed voltage. Some programs will keep the system from idling properly like icue and cam and certain temperature monitoring software. You can set the windows power plan to power saver and it should let it idle properly if software is whats causing it.

lone igloo Mar 25, 2020, 6:29 PM

latent wolf Mar 26, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

It can be done by overclocking the RAM. By Doing that You can also increase the Speed of the CPU. I was able to on a old DDR3 Rig I had from ASUS. When I overclocked the RAM it increased my CPU speed. Not by Much but every little bit helped on that system. Now Dell May have locked that option out of the BIOS. I wouldnt know without knowing what system it is that he has.

Ok

latent wolf Mar 26, 2020, 5:54 PM

Ive never Fried a AMD processor. Never LN2 cooled a CPU. But The most I got was a No Boot to OS from system instability.

manic helm Mar 30, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

only cpu I ever killed from overclocking was a duron using a peltier. I don't remember the exact voltage I was giving it but the cooler couldnt cope and it went into a feedback loop and things escalated quickly. I don't know how hot it actually got but it didn't like it.

#

My thermal probes at the time were too large to get right next to the die so temps were coming from the heatsink a few mm away. I just remember looking over and seeing it way over 100C and jumping to shut everything off

#

I had these huge industrial temp probes that came from the factory my dad worked at. they were used on a machine that did rubber extrusion and they were used to keep track of the temperature on the extrusion line. They replaced them every couple of years and threw out the old ones so my dad brought them home to me. They went up to something like 800C but they only went down to something like -4C. I probably still have some of them somewhere.

dark linden Mar 30, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

I've only ever killed two chips. Athlon 64 3200+ when I stepped on it and a few of the pins got stuck in my foot and a 7350K when I forgot to clear cmos after running it on ln2. It didn't die but it degraded by about 150mhz on air

Bottle of r404a is on the way for my single stage that will be part of the 5ghz daily zen build

Quite interesting

#

Closed loop?

dark linden Apr 1, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

Cascade phase change for the cpu so it will idle at about negitive 105C and run at about negative 97C

#

Gpu will be on single stage

#

I am getting in some r404a so if everything goes to plan with building the single stage I should hopefully be able to run -35C on the gpu

@latent wolf its a normal 2600

manic helm Apr 1, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

2600 on the gigabyte board should be good for a 4ghz all core overclock. most 2600's will max out around 4-4.1

#

if you are on the stock cooler you might be limited by temperature. It will easily get into the 80's at 4ghz on the stock cooler.

#

and that board does not have fixed cpu voltage. it only uses offset. So the offset is additive or subtracted from whatever the motherboard is calling for. If the motherboard wants 1.25v and you have a offset of +0.1v then it will actually get 1.35v.

dark linden Apr 1, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

That gigabyte vrm is not very good and the cooling go the vrm is awful

manic helm Apr 1, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

ya, but the 2600 isnt too bad going to stress it too much. as long as there is any airflow in the case I think they should be fine

dark linden Apr 1, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

A 1400 is probably already a lot of stress for that motherboard

#

I personally would not bother overclocking

#

You won't see that much of an improvement

manic helm Apr 1, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

at 4ghz its noticable. I tested my 2700x on a asrock b450m pro 4 at 4.2 and never ran into issues with the vrm. Its vrm solution is also pretty horrible.

#

ran my 2600 in the asrock board at 4.1ghz for about a year without issue

#

Now it powers my mighty athlon 3000g

dark linden Apr 1, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

The pro 4 has a better vrm and cooling for the vrm that the gigabyte

#

I overclock everything I can get my hands on and I would not overclock on that board

#

And if he is using something besides the stock cooler there probably isn't going to be much airflow

manic helm Apr 1, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

I wouldn't necessarily say its better. its a doubled 3 phase on the asrock vs true 4 phase on the ds3. The vrm cooling is similar on the actual cpu vrm, but the asrock has the advantage of the soc also having a heatsink. Atleast neither board covered the minimal surface area with giant stickers with their logo slapped on it. Neither board is ideal, but I still don't think it would be an issue getting to 4ghz and not having to worry.

@lone igloo I will try to dig up the picture of my z370 board that had a hole burned almost all the way through it

#

📎 IMG_20200218_095746_410.jpg

#

All of those have dead vrms

#

Top one is the z370 one

manic helm Apr 1, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

but how many of those died on normal overclocking? Killing a board isnt something that most people will every manage

dark linden Apr 1, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

All died on ambient

#

Not all were vcore death

#

Some were memory

#

Dark was pch vrm death

#

Z370 gaming was memory death. It was rubbing 3800 cl14 4x8 at 1.8 so nothing that far out of spec

manic helm Apr 1, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

😄

dark linden Apr 1, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

Z270 apex were vcore

#

But admittedly I didn't have the vcore heat sink on for those at the time

manic helm Apr 1, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

how did you kill pch vrm.

dark linden Apr 1, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

I didn't it just died

#

Got it through rma though

manic helm Apr 1, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

the poor aorus z370 boards like lots of other z370 boards werent designed with good vrm heatsinks. so many people with thottling issues with a 9900k.

#

a buddy of mine ended up having to add the vrm's to his loop to keep a stock 9900k from throttling on the gaming 7

#

I can't afford to play with high end stuff anymore. My wife would kill me

#

I have thrown all kinds of voltage at my athlon though. took my 6600k up to almost 1.6v on air for a short run, but decided to save it for my itx VR build instead of killing it.

#

although I do still have some of my old 775 stuff laying around I could try some fun stuff with. I would need a new board though since my motherboard died

dark linden Apr 1, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

Good 775 boards are hard to find

#

Took me a year to find my two rampage extremes

manic helm Apr 1, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

I had a p5nt deluxe, but it always had issues. Chinese power supply finally killed it when it caught on fire.

#

I also had a p5n7a matx board that overclocked well with some heatsinks on the vrm but it ran out of voltage adjustment and I never felt like volt modding it. I killed that one when I dropped a hdd on it while it was running. shorted something and I never took the time to try and figure it out

#

Only functional 775 board I have left is one that I got for free. an msi p6ngm-l I think. single channel memory. Very limited voltage options. I managed to get an e8300 to around 4ghz I think it was, but it was just sad.

#

It cant handle the q6600 very well.

#

The p5nt had bad issues with corrupting the bios. I ordered some extra preflashed chips on ebay at the time and would just swap them out whenever one corrupted and then swap the bad one back in and flash

#

soldered legs on one later so I could just piggy back them to get it to boot

#

I was done with asus boards after that. I have owned probably a dozen different asus boards over the years, but that one always had trouble. RMA'd it 3 times and asus just kept sending the same board back.

dull ginkgo Apr 2, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Overclocking is different for everyone, and can depend on a huge variety of factors, including just quality of the chip itself.

cold jolt Apr 2, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

ya, a cpu is literally a lazer cut rock

#

but because its so small, its cut imprecisely

#

well, super precisely from our point of view, but still loaded with manufacturing errors, so every chip behaves differently

lone igloo Apr 2, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

sorry just got back home so I couldnt reply earlier. I get that some boards have vrm issues I have just either been really lucky or others are using far more extreme overclocks I have 3 tier D boards all with 8700k's all overclocked to 5.1-5.3ghz none of them have melted any holes through them yet....

#

all 3 are the gigabyte HD3 so maybe it just shouldnt be where it is on the list

#

I got my 2600 to the 4.2 I said earlier on a MSI B350 PC mate

lone igloo Apr 2, 2020, 1:52 AM

I just personally cheaped out on my motherboards and then after I had everything and wanted to upgrade the motherboards down the line I couldnt find a single reason to

#

Not a single person on here would recommend that I upgrade so I think its silly to tell people with similar boards to not even attempt an OC and tell them their motherboard will melt a hole in itself...

@dark linden Yeah 4ghz Works No Problem. It could just be my motherboard. I have a Gigabyte B450 AORUS M, 32gb Corsair Vengence LPX 3000mhz DDR4 RAM, Ryzen 5 2600X OC to 4.0ghz ON all 6 cores

dark linden Apr 2, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

What voltage?

manic helm Apr 2, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

my 2600 will get to 4.1ghz stable on a wraith prism from my 2700x, but it took too much voltage to get it there. I usually run it at 4ghz now. When it was just a system to play with and ran maybe a few hours a week I kept it at 4.1, but since my kids use it now for school work and gaming it was running at 4ghz. When school got cancelled for the rest of the year and I had to setup it up for homeschool out in their playroom I set it back to stock so it will idle its running about 18 hours a day so I am trying to save a little electricity. 4ghz was around 1.27v, 4.1 took a jump to 1.38v, 4.2 was just to attempt for benchmark runs but was never really stable even at 1.45v and I never pushed it any harder.

#

every cpu hits a voltage wall, and the increase to get it stable on ambient goes up exponentially from there.

#

My 6600k will do 4.7ghz at 1.3ish volts. 4.9ghz is in the neighborhood of 1.45v and will crash from time to time. Never managed to get 5ghz stable and went up to 1.6v. If I had the equipment to get cold like forks and mythical it would have probably gone past 5ghz.

#

It has an AMD A10-8700p CPU inside.

#

I've done away with its original cooler and am now using a desktop cooler on it.

latent wolf Apr 8, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

Thats Actually a Decent CPU

obsidian delta Apr 8, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

I'd like to try overclocking it and see how it performs.

latent wolf Apr 8, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

I had a A10-6700K in my DDR3 system

obsidian delta Apr 8, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

Yeah, I think it was thermal throttling like crazy inside the laptop though.

latent wolf Apr 8, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

Has to be a black edition or a K series chip to really do any OC to it

obsidian delta Apr 8, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

I decided to take it apart once it started smelling of magic smoke..

latent wolf Apr 8, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

OOOFFFFF

obsidian delta Apr 8, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

Oh peck really?

latent wolf Apr 8, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

Yeah As far as I know. Thats with the Socket FM2 and FM2+ mainboards anyway

obsidian delta Apr 8, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

I've never done any overclocking before.

latent wolf Apr 8, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

Now with Ryzen that all went out the window

obsidian delta Apr 8, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

How come I can't overclock? Is it locked?

latent wolf Apr 8, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

Yeah

#

Its a locked CPU since its designed for a laptop

obsidian delta Apr 8, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

-_-

#

Not what I was hoping to hear lol

latent wolf Apr 8, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

AMD locks out CPUs designed for laptops due to the thermal solutions that would be needed typically dont fit inside a laptop

obsidian delta Apr 8, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

The current setup that I have is a desktop cooler, strapped on tightly using some spare jumper wire and powered with more jumper wire taking 12V IIRC from the sata power pins, since the fan header broke I think when the original laptop died.

#

So the fan runs at pretty much top speed at all times. ~~The voltage it's getting is over what the fan is rated for~~. It's really silent though and keeps the CPU super cool.

#

Which is why I was hoping to get a decent overclock.

latent wolf Apr 8, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

I mean dont get me wrong keeping the CPU cooled down is a good thing. But that Processor doesnt have any OC ability unless you can change the RAM timings in the BIOS. Then you might be able to get a little bit of a overclock but not much.

obsidian delta Apr 8, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

That'd just be a RAM overclock though, right?

#

The CPU isn't being oc'd in that situation.

latent wolf Apr 8, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

Actually on ASUS Boards a Overclock on the RAM does affect the Clock Speed of the CPU. I used to have a ASUS F2A55-M motherboard and when I overclocked the RAM it also overclocked the CPU. Not by Much but every little bit helped

@proven canopy we told him its really not worth it to get a 9700k over a 3600 cause he's gonna be playing at 1440p and he probs isnt gonna do a proper OC

#

and he thinks its about fanboyism

I know what you're doing here

you come to the overclocking channel

Not Only that But I personally Dont Like Intel. I have had nothing but bad luck with them in the past when it comes to certain programs that I run for my graphic design stuff that I do for College and for Clients. I have had less problems with a AMD processor. Its not Fanboy type stuff with me its more of a practicality reason and past issues with Intel. Dont get me wrong Intel Based CPUs have their uses. They have better Server processors than AMD does. That I will give them. When it comes to Desktop Processors its my opinion that AMD is better at that.

@steel oriole holy hell that voltage tho

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:06 PM

Most CPUs can handle up to 1.5 at the most

#

Thats Just my Experience

dull ginkgo Apr 9, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

It isn't safe to keep it there for any extended period of time

#

can "handle" it but

#

That's prob going to eat away at it's life near 1.5v

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

Yeah. Maybe a Year or 2 at most at that voltage. Most CPUs run for quite a long time. Also we dont know the cooling solution being used to achieve that either. Heat will Kill a CPU faster than Voltage and Clock speed

dull ginkgo Apr 9, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

I mean its 85c at the start of a cinebench sooo

#

That might not be a great sign

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:12 PM

Yeah Thats 185 Farenheit

dull ginkgo Apr 9, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

I like using celsius

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

Thats to hot.

#

Still The thermal Solution isnt working very well. Must be air cooled then. Would need a Liquid Cooling Solution to bring those therms down

#

Im running a 2600X at 4.0ghz and My Therms dont even get that high

dark linden Apr 9, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

Most aio liquid coolers are not better than a good tower cooler

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

I hit 65c under full load while gaming

#

Then again I am running a Custom 120mm Rad Liquid Cooling Setup

#

My Case Supports 240mm I just cant afford a 240mm Rad at this time

dark linden Apr 9, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

Custom is different but most aios have really underpowered pumps and don't work better than a 60$ air cooler

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

That is a good point

#

Right Now with both Adobe InDesign and Animate open Im at 57c

dark linden Apr 9, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

I honestly would never suggest an aio to anyone. They can leak, their pumps tend to die after a few years, they have mixed metal and they are not any better than a good tower cooler

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Be less If I had a 240mm RAD

dark linden Apr 9, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

What cpu?

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

R5 2600X

#

Overclocked from 3.6 to 4.0

dark linden Apr 9, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

240 might only drop it a few degrees

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

Really? Even Though Right Now I have a single 120mm? I thought with a larger cooling area and a Top Mount RAD setup in my case it would drop further than that

dark linden Apr 9, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

You probably aren't putting off more than 200W of heat. Unless you have a really skinny rad it probably won't help a ton

#

It will help but you aren't going to be seeing massive gains

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

I wasnt really looking for massive gains. Just some drop in overall themrs to extend the life of my CPU

dark linden Apr 9, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

You won't extend the life of the cpu

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

Maybe even get a little bit faster of a overclock

dark linden Apr 9, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

And 2000 series zen does not overclock much

#

Even if you drop temps by 150 degrees you would probably only gain 500 mhz

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

Ah

dark linden Apr 9, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

You can crank the voltage but if you are really worried about degradation it is not worth it

latent wolf Apr 9, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

Right

#

I do both gaming and Graphic Design on the same rig. Adobe doesnt seem to like the fact I have a 6 core 12 thread CPU

Going from 4275mhz to 3800mhz dropped temps by like 30c

orchid flame Apr 10, 2020, 12:31 AM

i am personally quite against AIO's unless everything else is in your system is already absolutely pushed to the max

OR

#

you have a very specific environment where it makes logical sense to actually use a AIO

#

lets say, stacked systems with the aio's all moved to a gathered section for managed intake/outtake

#

(air wise that is)

manic helm Apr 10, 2020, 4:38 AM

aio's are great for silent systems as well. My little h50 on my pentium in my hackintosh build is so quiet and I have the other fans turned down to low. its the quietest system I have ever owned probably.

I do hear that the pumps on some new AIO's are loud though. both my corsairs were extremely quiet

@hard ice im going to toss in a thermaltake throughpower platinum and hope that the psu was the root of the issue /fingerscrossed wont be here till next week though. the other PSU i have on hand is a 650 and it wont power this system

@ornate yacht hmm

#

something else for you to perhaps play around with

#

scale down the system as much as you can, component wise that is

#

its tedious work, i know.

#

but that is what i would be doing myself IF launching it into low orbit wasn't a viable option

Basically idk what’s happened but on aida 64 cache memory benchmark the results i got ages ago for my 4000mhz ram 4.8 core 4.7 cache i now get the same bandwidth but higher latency on the memory and all caches, any ideas? Tried upping core/cache voltage and vccio/sa, lowering ram clocks and raising timings didn’t fix the high latency

asking for someone else could you over clock a non k cpu if its a pre built by changing things in intel xtu
