im just saying for the mobo in general

blazing venture
#

with one stick, according to the manual

swift mesa
#

what about the other stick

#

i use dual channel

dull ginkgo
#

I never
readthemanual

blazing venture
#

that's why it's stuck at 2133

#

you right now

jade pulsar
#

this is when we need manual mr1 smh

swift mesa
#

is there any way i can change it so i get more performance or no?

jade pulsar
#

in a2 and b2 it should be able to get 2400 right?

blazing venture
#

put it in slot a2/b2 and set it to 2667

#

or maybe get a new mobo that isn't weird

#

😦

swift mesa
#

lmao

jade pulsar
#

This just seems very weird

blazing venture
#

🙂

swift mesa
#

might just have too

blazing venture
#

even though the board says 3200(oc)+

swift mesa
#

yea exactly

#

that's what i didnt get

dull ginkgo
#

might take 3rd gen xD

blazing venture
jade pulsar
#

manual does say 3rd gen can get higher frequency

jade pulsar
#

unless we reading something wrong?

blazing venture
#

@hard ice

#

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAED

swift mesa
#

lol

jade pulsar
#

maybe those speed is base clock

blazing venture
#

I just don't know man

dull ginkgo
#

Naed reads manuals

blazing venture
#

it's all weird.

dull ginkgo
#

thats why hes a teachie

blazing venture
#

even the friggin manual is weird

swift mesa
#

honestly

#

i don't like this peepoSadSip

jade pulsar
#

the ram should work in a2 and b2, that should be best config for you

blazing venture
#

yes

jade pulsar
#

if it doesn't boot explain in what way it's not booting

blazing venture
#

I haven't checked the ram QVL

#

so that might be an issue aswell

#

I've got alot going on here at the house, so attention isnt good to look through it

jade pulsar
#

maybe im going insane, i was struggling very much to read english yesterday

swift mesa
#

lol

jade pulsar
blazing venture
swift mesa
#

what i don't understand is in that video that i sent the guy had the same CPU as me but he got up to 3200ghz

dull ginkgo
#

weird

#

its not on the qvl

jade pulsar
#

ye maybe manual means base speed, cuz the advertised on most ram is a oc

#

and maybe that why website says 3200(oc)

swift mesa
#

damn. you guys got any recommendations that i should do?

dull ginkgo
#

F4-3000C16D-16GISB

#

huh

jade pulsar
#

put in a2 b2 and tell us what is happening or if you remember what pc did when you tried to boot

dull ginkgo
#

real weird

swift mesa
#

ok ghost ill do it in a bit im going to load up the bios and see if there's anything i can do rn

jade pulsar
#

kk

hard ice
#

i love you too Boxie

#

@jade pulsar @dull ginkgo the manual (numbers etc you find in it) can be considered the "minimum that a board can do"

#

as in, "what you find in the manual will work, if the parts follow the spec etc etc"

@short blade

#

So what's a good OC for a Gigabyte RX-5500 XT OC 8gb gpu???

sterile flame
#

so i don’t have my ethernet cable plugged in but i want to connect back to my wifi but i can’t find it

trail tartan
#

So I own Ryzen, and its been shown that overclocking your RAM. I've been trying to figure out what causing me issues for quiet some times. I am trying to bring the stock 2133 mhz on my G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GTZR

Timing 16-18-18-38
CAS Latency 16
Voltage 1.35V```

to the 3200mhz it is advertised for. I go to bio's and turn on D.O.C.P *from what I know is what asus mobo call their ram profiles* and pick the correct one, ill reboot to window 10 and it was be running at around 1 frame per second. But everything works correctly beside that. I can open programs and it works like that for a hot minute from my testing. I often get scared i'm about to break something due to the 1 fps issue so ill reboot to bios and restore setting but once i reboot ill have 1fps on windows 10 and have to DDU my video card to fix it
#

Anyone know what is causing this?
My RAM, mobo, GPU overclock? I just don't know.

#

I've also swap gpu and cpu between trying this so it probably isn't my GPU or CPU. 🙂

#

and timing is left stock atm since if i can't even overclock the MHz i have no real need to mess with timing atm

sterile ridge
#

Idk about your mobo but mine has A xmp, why dont you just use that

trail tartan
#

It isn't called that from what I am aware, I don't have XMP since im on AMD I think?


DOCP (Direct Over Clock Profile), is from ASUS for AMD motherboards and came as the motherboard makers didn't want to pay royalties to Intel to implement XMP on AMD motherboards. It effectively uses the DRAM XMP profile to set up data rates and comparative timings on the AMD motherboards for a variety of data rates.

EOCP (Extended Over Clock Profiles) is Gigabytes version of the ASUS DOCP..```
#

I have DOCP which i assume functions the same

#

I've asked on Pcmasterrace discord and they has no idea too.

sterile ridge
#

I have it on my amd mobi

#

What mobo do you hsve

trail tartan
#

ASUS ROG STRIX X370-F GAMING AM4 AMD X370 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

#

either way my ram overclocking it just breaking my windows. it stable and doesn't blue screen it just 1fps xd

sterile ridge
#

Ah ok

#

Idk about x370 stuff

#

But it might not have xmp

trail tartan
#

yeah it def doesnt but from what i read DOCP is same thing, maybe it just not prefect no idea. I just don't understand why when i OC ram and it work i get 1fps on my display and have to DDU it

#

been an issue for 2 years so i just dont touch my ram

sterile ridge
#

Neither do I sorry

trail tartan
#

You are fine, it a very odd situation. I know quiet a lot so if someone knows it probably they had the exact same issue before 🙂

#

might just be mobo or bios it did come out for 1000 ryzens shrugs

dull ginkgo
#

@trail tartan DOCP is the correct thing for Asus mobos, afaik A-xmp is a MSI thing. I suggest starting with no overclock, and testing one thing at a time

#

If you feel it's still your ram causing issues, try memtest86 and see if there's any issues with it

#

I suspect GPU OC might be the culprit, when I pushed my GPU mem clock too far, it basically froze and ran at like 1fps

trail tartan
#

@dull ginkgo the OC works, my gpu drivers like corrupts when i OC ram but i dont know why haha. I can even run games

#

maybe ill turn of OC on gpu and OC the ram. The gpu OC stable normally ive used it for a year

I have a 3900x paired with Asus x570-F cooled with deep castle 360 ex, able to do 4.2 all cores at 1.25v. I got it stable at 4.3 with 1.325v but according to forums it seems like that voltage isnt safe for ryzen 3000 chips. Thermals looks fine, idling at 35-40c, when gaming it hits around 55-60c and when i run cinibench r20 it doesnt get past 75c on multiple consecutive runs.

I just finally decided to OC my FX-6300 Black from it's base 3.5 to 4.3 on only AC. Thinking I might try 4.6 for awhile once I get closer to actually being able to get my new system ordered (once parts are actually in stock).

@drifting turret Perfect! thank you for your response 🙂

yeah 1.325v isnt good for ryzen 3000, tsmc said it was specified for 1.3V for their 7nm process

sterile flame

how far should i overclock my r7 2700 to? i have an amazing liquid cooler for my cpu

mild moat

Theres no set limit. Just try and see what works.

#

But now I'm curious, what cooler do you have lol

sterile flame
#

I have the enermax AquaFusion 240

And I just want to know how far I can do it without damaging anything in my system

dull ginkgo
#

depends on each chip

sterile flame
#

i got it up to 4.4 then it froze my pc 🤣

neon rapids
#

that means it isn't stable, so either increase the voltage or decrease the mhz

sterile flame
#

ok

#

it was at 1.325V and 4.4 Ghz what should I change

dull ginkgo

Decrease freq

Hey guys for some reason my i7 7700k @ 4.9ghz 1.27V gets like 980cb at most

#

Is there something wrong that I did?

latent wolf
#

What GPU

proven canopy
#

GPU shouldn't matter

bold wolf
#

It’s water cooled with an NZXT kraken x53

#

And it hasn’t been delidded

#

Would voltaging it higher help it?

latent wolf
#

Gpu Shouldnt Matter But if the GPU is integrated inthe CPU chip if I recall Ive seen that Cinebench Scores Go down

#

i could be wrong

bold wolf
#

No I’m running a gpu with it

proven canopy
latent wolf
#

@bold wolf It may be that the Voltage is set to high

#

1.22 is whats recommended for obtaining 4.8ghz

#

1.200 is stock voltage

bold wolf
#

Too high???

latent wolf
#

1.27 might be for running stock clock speeds

bold wolf
#

That’s what I have for the voltage rn

latent wolf
#

Right

bold wolf
latent wolf
#

The Stock speeds might nto be happy with that Voltage

bold wolf
#

Should I drop it to 1.60?

latent wolf
#

I would Drop it to 1.22

bold wolf
#

1.26***

#

Alright

#

Ima run some tests

latent wolf
#

Ok

bold wolf
#

Ima just use cinebench for now

latent wolf
#

ok

#

what version of CB are you using

bold wolf
#

R15

#

Computer crashed when booting cinebench

#

Ima try 1.23

latent wolf
#

I would Dial it back to base Voltages and Work your way Up till you find one that doesnt cause it to crash

bold wolf
#

I’m trying 1.23 right now

latent wolf
#

ok

#

what do you have set to 1.4500?

bold wolf
#

Ram

latent wolf
#

ok

bold wolf
#

It wouldn’t let me change it

latent wolf
#

Thats odd

bold wolf
#

I got a score of 1024cb!

latent wolf
#

Nice

bold wolf
#

With a 4.9ghz at 1.23v

#

Is that good?

latent wolf
#

So The Voltage is what was screwing you up

bold wolf
#

Ahhh okay

#

So I don’t need to tinker around anymore?

latent wolf
#

Yeah Actually that is good. 4.9ghz at 1.23v I would assume is a good score from R15

bold wolf
#

Alright thanks man!!

#

Aww waittt

#

I got a blue screen

latent wolf
#

uh oh

#

BSOD

bold wolf
latent wolf
#

Yep Votage is still To high

bold wolf
#

Too low u mean?

latent wolf
#

No

bold wolf
#

I’ma try 1.24V

latent wolf
#

The Base Voltage for your CPU is 1.200

bold wolf
#

Yeah

#

Well on 1.22V it crashed at beginning of startup on windows

latent wolf
#

If Running Stock Speeds You should leave the voltage set at the Stock Voltage settings

bold wolf
#

Wym?

proven canopy
#

Score will be dependent on your clock frequency, less so voltage unless you're unstable.

latent wolf
#

So Since your Running Stock Clock Speeds You shouldnt need to change the Voltage on the CPU

bold wolf
#

Oh

#

So what should I do?

#

Leave it to 1.23V?

latent wolf
#

Set the Voltage to 1.200

proven canopy
#

Also, what's your goal here? Setting a high R15 score for hwbot? Or finding your maximum sable daily performance?

#

What motherboard as well

bold wolf
#

Finding a maximum sable daily performance

#

I’m running a Maximus viii hero alpha

proven canopy
#

Nice board

bold wolf
#

Thanks

#

Well so far it’s at 1.235V and it hasn’t crashed or BSOD

#

i just did 2 tests in a row

latent wolf
#

Thats Why I suggested Taking it back to the 1.200 and then Working your way up till it no longer is stable and then dialing back down a notch to the last stable voltage

proven canopy
#

Most people use prime 95 small fft to test for stability. It's a synthetic "worst case" load, so if it passes that, it should handle any real world use

bold wolf
#

Oh okay

#

Oh okay

#

How long should I run prime 95?

proven canopy
#

Thats Why I suggested Taking it back to the 1.200 and then Working your way up till it no longer is stable and then dialing back down a notch to the last stable voltage
This doesn't make sense

#

Check the overclocking wiki in the pins

bold wolf
#

Well I did that

proven canopy
#

Most people test for a few hours at most

latent wolf
#

Yeah I understand but Sometimes working in Reverse works as well depending on what is taking place

proven canopy
#

20 mins will usually catch 90% of instability issues

#

Be careful though - prime 95 is a huge heat load

latent wolf
#

Like He Got BSOD at 1.23

proven canopy
#

TBH - when I had a 7700k, I daily'd it at 4.5 all core 0avx , then at 4.7 or something when I delidded/liquid metal

#

On a D15

bold wolf
#

I changed it to 1.235V now and so far no BSOD

latent wolf
#

ok So that seems to be a stable Voltage then

bold wolf
#

Well ima run prime95 for 20 mins

#

What do I do on this?

#

Which one do I Choi’s?

#

Choose

proven canopy
#

Watch your temp the whole time

bold wolf
proven canopy
#

I recommend hwinfo64

#

Enable the Asus EC sensor if it asks, and watch the "core max" temp

#

90 is bad, stop the test

bold wolf
#

Okay

#

Do I choose small fft or smallest

#

And I use NZXT cam to check cpu temp is that ok?

proven canopy
#

My best run

#

hwinfo64 is best, if you plan to do a lot of overclocking etc, I'd get familiar with it

bold wolf
#

Alright

proven canopy
#

Start with blend, my guess is that small fft will immediately hit 100c and throttle

bold wolf
#

And do I do smallest fft or small fft on prime 95?

#

Oh okay

#

Uhh

#

Do I look at that?

latent wolf
#

I run my R5 at 1.325 Volts at 4.0ghz Stable with no Issues on a Watercooling loop with a Single 120mm Rad and I top out at like 71-80c While Gaming and Rendering Images

bold wolf
proven canopy
#

Yes, that's "core max" isn't it?

bold wolf
#

Just started

latent wolf
#

@proven canopy You mean Core Max Temp?

bold wolf
#

So far these are the temps

#

I’ll let u guys know if anything happens

latent wolf
#

Ok

#

@proven canopy My Max temp before thermal throttle is like 90c

bold wolf
#

Map temp is 75C

proven canopy
#

@proven canopy My Max temp before thermal throttle is like 90c
You have a different CPU

bold wolf
#

Avg temp as of now is 64C max temp is 75 C and minimum is 32C

#

Oh it just raised to 79C

proven canopy
#

Side note - always pay attention to power draw. e.g. package power, in watts

#

When asking "are these temps good" etc - always specify what temps and what power load under what cooling

#

Better yet, give the measurement relative to ambient

bold wolf
#

It’s at 85C right now

#

Gotcha

#

Uh oh

#

Fans are spinning fast now

#

Stop at 90C max rightV

proven canopy
#

On any AIO or any liquid cooler setup - it takes time for the water temp to reach a steady state, constant temp

latent wolf
#

True Enough Forks AMD and Intel run at different temps and are setup to run at differnent temps overall

bold wolf
#

Ahhhh I see

#

Ima wait till 9:35 and ima stop the test

proven canopy
#

It's your call how much room for error you want between your daily settings and what's unstable - if you want to spend the time and effort, sure you can run it right up to that limit

#

But like I mentioned earlier - for a daily driver system - back when I only used one desktop for everything, stability was king (for me)

#

So 4.5/4.7 it was

bold wolf
#

Well I’m trying to push as much performance gain I can while maintaining stability

#

It hasn’t been delidded aswell

proven canopy
#

Tl;DR - the 3 fps to be gained from 4.8 over 4.7 to me wasn't worth any doubt of stability

bold wolf
#

Well I used to run 4.8ghz but it was too unstable for me constant blue screens and game crashes

#

But I didn’t know how to Oc back then

#

Until like now

#

I think 4.9ghz @ 1.235V is the one

latent wolf
#

Kinda Like me. I try 4.2 and no bueno. I get BSOD or system freezes like crazy. 4.1 is stable but the temps get to high for my liking. So I dialed it back to 4.0 and its stable and the temps dont get to high. Granted mines AMD and your is intel but Stability is the key thing

proven canopy
#

If I had a zen2 chip I'd run PBO + a -100mv offset

latent wolf
#

For 4.2ghz Stability?

bold wolf
#

For me i7 7700k is plenty for now

#

Alright so 20 minute stress test

#

And so far it had no BSOD and ran 88C max with an average of 85C

#

Wow! Back then my cpu scored a 93.5 on userbench but now it scores 103!

#

Major improvement!!

latent wolf
#

Yeah and It didnt hit that 90c Mark that Forks was warning you about

Would you say a 4.8ghz all core oc on a 9700k at less than 1.3v using a z390 Phantom Gaming 4S board is decent? I can't seem to find the magic settings to push it any further and have it stay stable in all scenarios unless I'm missing something. Being that it is an 8 phase board and very cheap VRM heatsinks I imagine I might have hit a ceiling, however the VRM isn't overheating and neither is the chip. I can OC to 5ghz all core but once in a blue moon it will find a scenario it doesn't like and will BSOD or just freeze. As if there is a voltage or power draw inconsistency. I want to say I've tried everything but I'm not the most advanced with overclocking and perhaps someone knows something I don't. Temps are fine in all tests at all overclocks I've tried. Using a 240mm rad.

#

Also forgot to mention I have tweaked LLC to account for voltage droop as well, however the system is only ever stable at the highest LLC setting when going to 5ghz all core. I find this concerning so I back it off one setting. I might have a fully stable overclock if I knew how aggressive ASRock's LLC Level 1 is on this board. If it's not as aggressive as I think it is, it might be totally fine to use.

proven canopy
dark ferry
#

^Does this apply to all core overclocks?

proven canopy
#

yes

dark ferry
#

Part of me still wants to believe even with this board I should be able to manage a 5ghz all core at a fixed 1.35v with LLC Level 1 and that hopefully ASRock's LLC isn't so aggressive that it spikes the voltage.

proven canopy
#

Use a fixed, manual vcore, 1.35 is a bit high, but probably ok if your cooling is up to the task.
Adjust LLC such that you see ~30mv vdroop from idle to load.

dark ferry
#

So you mean by that no more than 30mv droop.

proven canopy
#

No, I mean 30 ish mv droop from idle to load is about ideal.

#

I'll bare that in mind.

#

Yo is it true that I rhyzen favors ram

sterile flame
#

ofc

#

the point of diminishing returns for ryzen is about 3600 mhz

ruby hound
#

if you can OC the IF then you can push it up to 3800 mhz for memory and 1900mhz for the flck

sterile flame
#

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hallow flint
#

What is flick @ruby hound

ruby hound
#

FLCK is the Infinity fabric clock speed

#

the reason you get dimished returns after 3600mhz is because the Infinity Clock isnt in sync with it

sterile flame
#

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

hallow flint
#

How to sync

ruby hound
#

you just ensure the memory speed is the same as FLCK, but remember the memory speed is doubled so 1900 mhz FLCK = 3800 mhz memory

#

stock FLCK is 1800, hence the dimished returns after 3600mhz mem

#

whether you can OC the FLCK will be dependent on your processor and is silicon lottery. There are very few that can make if over 1900 FLCK, and some cannot even make it to 1900 FLCK

#

if you set the speeds and look in ryzen master you can see the flck and memory clocks right next to each other, as long as they match you are good

hallow flint
#

Alright cool I’m going for 3600 MHz should I do 1850 flck

ruby hound
#

no, just 1800 flck

#

you want to keep the 1:1 ratio

hallow flint
#

What is stock flck and does it auto do it if I use xmp

dull ginkgo
#

there is no stock flck

#

stock is just 1:1 ratio

#

if your xmp is 3600mhz, flck should go 1800

hallow flint
#

Okay thank you

#

It lets me change my ram up to 5000

dull ginkgo
#

lets you

hallow flint
#

I don’t think that’s safe

dull ginkgo
#

doesn't mean you should

#

doesn't mean it's stable

#

it "lets" you put 1.5v into your CPU, should you do it? no.

hallow flint
#

Yeah I’ll do 3600 to match my process speed

#

Is 3000 - 3600 safe?

dull ginkgo
#

..?

#

depends on your specific stick of ram

#

and how good the bin is

hallow flint
#

What is bin

dull ginkgo
#

silicon lottery

ruby hound
#

If you dont want to get into memory OC just set your XMP profile in bios and leave it

dull ginkgo
hallow flint
#

Mine came at 2667 but the ram it’s self said 3000 so I put it to 3200 now I’m going to try 3600

dull ginkgo
#

doubt it can go 3600 :p

hallow flint
#

And on bios theirs two profiles but it lets me change the speed for the profile is that still xmp?

#

And why can’t I go 3600

dull ginkgo
#

the pre-set profiles are xmp

#

I doubt it

hallow flint
#

So past the presets are not xmp?

dull ginkgo
#

if the kit is rated for 2667, the chances it'll go 3600 without loosening the timing a lot is very very low

hallow flint
#

I think it was 3000 but bios put it to 2667 because on the ram stick it says 3000

dull ginkgo
#

still

#

overclocking has a lot of luck in it

#

and chances with your kit

hallow flint
#

It’s rgb it should work

dull ginkgo
#

...?

#

what does rgb have anything to do with anything

hallow flint
#

Oh it’s water cooled

dull ginkgo
#

what

#

god damn it

#

why the hell did you buy watercooled ram lmao

#

ram doesn't even need much cooling

hallow flint
#

i bought prebuilt before i knew about computers

#

i hope to upgrade though

ruby hound
#

you can look around for memory overclocking guides. Its not a simple thing really and I would recommend research first

get the gksill trident z cl15 3600.. i overclocked mine to 4000 and its cl 16 16 16 37 now hah

ruby hound
#

Yeah the 3600cl15 is a good bin from what I have heard

unborn cliff
#

just sub timings need to tinker with

#

they have a cl14 version too but that was alot more expensive

ruby hound
#

I got some Tforce 4500cl18, cant wait to usher then further

unborn cliff
#

yea but is it 18, 18 18?

ruby hound
#

I think so, at 1.45

unborn cliff
#

i got 2 16gb kits so can get 32gb

#

especially cause star citizen uses soo much ram

#

upped voltage to 1.4 since intel doesnt like more than 2 dims

ruby hound
#

Well I hope they work together for you

unborn cliff
#

oh yea def do, ran memory test for an hour no errors

#

just secondary timings are not fun to play around with

ruby hound
#

Nice

unborn cliff
#

and asus/intel has no timing calculators, only asrock z370 hah that or amd

you want real quiet max speed ?

I want the quietest fans with maximum airflow for rads

this will be quietest at 2.2h20

Oh if you want radiator fans look at the Noctua iPPCs

However if the temp difference is negligible then id rather not spend so much on fans ya know

I've discovered I don't think I'll buy gskill again. This is the worst ram I've ever had to work with on an OC. Look at it wrong and it won't even go to bios.

dull ginkgo
#

what

#

thats...

#

what happens with any ram in my experience lol

#

you just gotta reset cmos

#

whenever you mess with timings that just happens in my experience @sterile flame ¯_(ツ)_/¯

sterile flame
#

Never had this much issue with other ram though.

dull ginkgo
#

with lowering timings?

#

I only really have issues with lowering timings

#

wrong frequency and it just reboots

sterile flame
#

Literally changing anythign with it, even getting it to run what are supposed to be it's stock timings and it's blaats half the time.

Although it's apparently a now known issue with this ram.

restive cargo
#

Who's good at overclocking?
I need someone who knows more than I do.
If anyone can give me a hand with this ping me, I will be back shortly.
This is processor instability maybe.

#

The specs of it are listed below:
Processor - I7 8700K overclocked to 5Ghz at 1.365 Vcore on all cores.
GPU - Asus Strix RTX 2080 Super at Asus stock OC speeds.
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws 4, 32GB (4X8) Sticks at 3,000 MhZ
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 1TB
MoBo: Asus Maximus Hero Z370

dull ginkgo
#

What about it

#

@restive cargo if you think it's CPU issue, run p95 for half an hour, see what it does.

restive cargo
#

According to Intender in a message he sent me.
I see that and I think either drivers or memory

#

@dull ginkgo Ok I'll close Discord and run P95 for 30 minutes and report back.

dull ginkgo
#

Usually BSOD is either driver or memory, but since you mentioned CPU OC, it's best to check what's been changed.

proven canopy
#

What does windows event viewer say?

restive cargo
#

It always says that for me when the system BSOD.

#

@dull ginkgo I want to only stress the CPU

#

Doesn't P95 hit the RAM too?

dull ginkgo
#

It does, but you could also disable it

#

Might as well hit both

restive cargo
#

Yeah I only want to hit the CPU hard for 30 mins

#

Otherwise I won't know which one it is.

#

Also, I just reinstalled Windows and all of the drivers for my motherboard so I highly doubt it's a drive issue.
I also checked device manager and there are no yellow marks by any of the drivers saying anything is wrong.

#

I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

proven canopy
#

Depends which prime 95 test you run. Small FFT is meant to run entirely out of the L2 cache.

restive cargo
#

Another note it was doing this before the Windows reinstall as well, same error same messages.

proven canopy
#

Blend is ofc a blend.

restive cargo
#

So which do you recommend?

#

For mainly just the CPU

#

I usualy use Aida64 and just stress CPU but P95 works too.

proven canopy
#

Depends what you're trying to test - for pure core stability under the worst-case thermal loads - use small-fft

restive cargo
#

Ok small-fft it is.

proven canopy
#

I mainly use Aida as well.

restive cargo
#

Ok so I am gonna close Discord and Steam and run Small fft for 30 mins.

#

If it BSOD then CPU it is.

#

If it doesn't then it's time for a RAM test.

#

I have 4x8GB sticks so if it is the RAM I am in for some one at a time testing of each stick.

#

But CPU first.

#

Be back in 30

errant raft
#

Yeah that's some awesome stuff 4.3 GHz on a dang Ryzen 7 3700x people said it was impossible

unborn cliff
#

ram 4 sticks youd have to up the voltage of it some

sterile flame
#

@sterile flame hardly just the rams fault, you realise your ram xmp isn’t even guaranteed since its an overclock to the maximum ddr4 intel or amd spec

#

I've spent a lot of time looking into what the ram is capable of, on this board, with this cpu.

dark ferry
#

Looking for some help for my friend who just bought a Ryzen 3700x paired with an ASUS ROG Strix x570-e and corsair vengeance lpx 16gb 3600mhz. He's trying to enable XMP or DOCP for the ram and his system will not post.

sterile flame
#

@dark ferry because amd

dark ferry
#

^The most honest answer I've gotten so far. Thank god I got a 9700k instead of 3700x like my friend.

#

Just... works.

unborn cliff
#

there is alot more power draw and stress using 4 sticks, if any issues up the voltage of the ram

#

/r zen_rbx now to compare to a reall 9900kf

#

hmm it wont let me put pic in grr

#

cpuz got 5994 multicore, 596 single thread

#

cinebench r20 5297 multicore on 9900kf

dapper hound
ruby hound
#

Trying increasing thendram voltage a little and that should help with stability@dark ferry

#

@unborn cliff I have a 9900kf I am eager to test and see what it can do, hopefully its not a dud

unborn cliff
#

@ruby hound its not bad, although if i didnt upgrade to it already id prob have gotten 10900k seams to run cooler stock vs stock 9900k vs 10900k because the shaved down die

#

the downside to f variant is the onboard video on k actually can assist in editing i read even if you doing encoding w/ video card or something like that

dull ginkgo
#

@dark ferry so did it post before applying the xmp profile? It's still a problem to be solved :p

#

@errant raft iirc forks also got 4.3ghz on a 3700x on 1.3v :D you can prob compare scores with him

hallow flint
#

Will enabling over drive on monitor make it get worse overtime?

jade pulsar
#

overdrive is not recommended @hallow flint

#

it almost always causes artifacts which are worse than ghosting. if your monitor has a response time setting, i would recommend putting it on the second fastest settings not the fastest

hallow flint
#

I dont know

#

It said 1ms on box

jade pulsar
#

the advertised response time is the minimum response time of the monitor, it can vary usually around 4-7ms average on a good panel

hallow flint
#

Damn

#

Any settings?

jade pulsar
hallow flint
#

Damn

#

What about boost clock on gpu ?

restive cargo
#

CPU Small FFT ran for 14 hours no issues.

#

On P95

#

I'm running blend now to test the RAM.

#

If it BSOD in 14 hours it's the RAM.

#

If it doesn't then I have no idea what is wrong.

#

It's GG

#

It normally only BSOD when it's idle or I am using Google Chrome.

#

It's done it a few times while in Chrome.

dull ginkgo
#

14hours damn

dull ginkgo
#

Alright so

#

For some reason, Small FFT crashes on my OC

#

but blend doesn't. It's not temps, because on blend, it's ~70c

proven canopy
#

Could still be unstable even if temps are in line.

dull ginkgo
#

Interesting

#

So blend isn't a good test?

proven canopy
#

Rather - you might need x temps for y clocks with z votlage.

#

One of more must be too high/low.

#

Then again, small fft is usually far from a daily workload.

dull ginkgo
#

So is small fft a better stress test?

#

Also, it's a 3800x on 1.3v on 4.2ghx

proven canopy
#

Why run a manual 1.3v vcore for only 4.2?
Could just use pbo or even leave it default.

dull ginkgo
#

holy crap

#

meant to do 1.325v to test it

#

accidentally did 1.35v

dull ginkgo
#

@proven canopy cpu went to 100c lmao on small fft

#

yea default settings does 1.36v on prime95 blend so

#

I'm basing my safe voltage off 1.36

proven canopy
#

Did you follow the guide to find your specific chip's FIT votlage?

dull ginkgo
#

I mean thats using pbo on prime95

#

that was what I did

#

I'll do it again

proven canopy
#

No night mode? lol

dull ginkgo
#

I dont use reddit

:p

#

Forks should I repaste?

#

just a thought

#

seems like I mightve made mistakes while pasting

#

bc I only did dot

proven canopy
#

Could be worth it to try.

dull ginkgo
#

Honestly I might just bite the bullet and let PBO do its thing for now

#

I'll have to find where I left my tube of paste

proven canopy
#

Also I strongly recommend option 3 from that post.

dull ginkgo
#

yea

#

I'll just leave it on pbo

#

only real reason I dont use PBO was a while back I was seeing it do like 1.45v idling

#

and I was like wtf

#

and went manual

#

wow thats interesting

#

PBO does 4ghz at 1.27v

#

under small fft

restive cargo
#

It's found 3 errors on the RAM so far. I know the screenshot says 2 but it's older. It's 3 errors now.

#

So now I know it's not the processor and it is the RAM.

#

I'm gonna let memcheck86 finish it's runs then I am going to start checking stick by stick.

#

I'm also going to contact G.Skill once I find out what sticks it is and request for RMA.

@steep geode What Processor you have? Cause I have a Gigabyte B450 AORUS M and It has PCIe 4.0 as long as you use Bios Version F41. For Some Reason F50 doesnt Support it. I found that out today. I backed my BIOS to F41 from 50 cause of my GPU being a PCIe 4.0 RX-5500 XT OC 8gb

Even if the board supports pcie 4.0 like gigabyte's z490 - the CPU's don't (yet).

imma just wait to get a pcie 4.0 board until the 3000 series comesout

dark ferry
#

@dull ginkgo Yes it posts for him without any XMP or DOCP profiles. I forget the frequency they run at out of box. The ram he is using is VENGEANCE® LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3600MHz C14 AMD Ryzen Memory Kit - Black paired with a 3700x using an ASUS ROG Strix x570-E motherboard so there should really be no compatibility issues here. Any thoughts are appreciated.

latent wolf
#

The Ryzen 3950X series is out

The 4000 Series doesnt come out for another 6 months but will be supported on AMD B450 and Intel B460 Boards from what I read coming from AMD on the GPU side of things

@dark ferry ask them what the XMP profile is

latent wolf
#

The Nvidia Killer anyway

steep geode
#

hmmm. Prolly just get the 3070 tbh

latent wolf
#

Im happy with my 5500 XT It handles everything I can throw at it

neon rapids
#

both next generation cards are rumored to be unveiled like September this year

latent wolf
#

I havent even began to try and OC it yet

steep geode
#

yeah. but i have a 1070. so im wanting a new build with aa 3070 to future proof myslef for every game

latent wolf
#

Thats why I went with a 5500 XT. There isnt a whole hell of alot of differnece between the 5500 XT and the 5700 XT when it comes to the Clock Speeds. Only Big difference is the 5500 XT is a 128 bit Bandwidth on the memory and the 5700 XT is a 256 bit

steep geode
#

true true. hmmm. I guess we will have to see

latent wolf
#

my FPS is limited by my screen right now so I have Vsync turned on and run about 58fps in everything I play. Now if I had a 144hz Refresh I would be running alot more FPS and OC at that point would probably be worth it

steep geode
#

what? get that 144hz screen man. I hvae one and its a game changer. You can get them a good prices now

latent wolf
#

I would OC it to the 5700 XT Clock Speeds at that point

#

Talking a less than 100mhz on both the VRAM and the GPU

neon rapids
#

the 5500xt only has 55% of the 5700xt's stream processors also

latent wolf
#

Ok Good point

#

But the 5500 XT would benefit from the Slight OC at Higher FPS

neon rapids
#

yuh

dark ferry
#

@dull ginkgo Are you saying he should contact Corsair and ask them for the individual settings for the XMP profile so he can dial them in manually?

dull ginkgo
#

@dark ferry somewhat, at least make sure the profile is correct

dark ferry
#

Ok I got you. Thank you for your suggestions.

#

I'll pass that on to him.

dull ginkgo
#

Even if just from the surface

#

It's a 3600 cl14 kit, if they see the xmp profile says 4000 cl16 for some reason, gotta put in the timings manually

dark ferry
#

Right on. I think he said it definitely said 3600 but wouldn't post.

dull ginkgo
#

At that point you could contact Corsair either for an RMA or the specific timings

dark ferry
#

But I wasn't looking at his UEFI so I don't know that he set the right thing.

#

It's possible he just set 3600mhz manually instead of enabled the proper profile, who knows.

dull ginkgo
#

Also check to make sure they did buy a cl14 kit, those are pretty rare to see.

#

Yea

#

If he did that...

dark ferry
#

He said it's definitely the set I mentioned.

dull ginkgo
#

Eh, alright, but keep it in mind.

#

Because cl14 kits at 3600 can go for like 200$ for 16gb, most people won't buy it

dark ferry
#

He bought them specifically to go with his new CPU and mobo for compatibility and cause he knows Ryzen is reliant on ram speed.

#

He did.

#

He pays for his upgrades through subs and donos I doubt he was worried about price.

#

But his FPS has been insanely inconsistent and we've assumed it is because of his ram speed only working at the default speed.

#

And how reliant ryzen is on ram speed.'

dull ginkgo
#

Quite possible

#

I'm guessing there's something up with the xmp profile

#

I may try to lower the voltage to 1.3750 or lower

#

4.3 GHz is stable at 1.3200 volts

dull ginkgo
#

I used to have stable 4.3 1.35v not any more

errant raft
#

@dull ginkgo you made a crazy typo

proven canopy
#

Why not just run pbo

dull ginkgo
#

I do now

errant raft
#

It sucks tbh

dull ginkgo
#

but 4.3 all core used to get better benchmarks than pbo so yea

#

well actually I'm on 4ghz 1.25v right now

#

doing that for daily use

errant raft
#

So you know CPU do not run 4 volts these days. Back in the 90's they were. I was not burn in the 90's I was born in 2001 I'm currently 18. I collect bunch of old tech and experiment

dull ginkgo
#

what

#

theres a space

#

between 4.3 and 1.35v

#

4.3ghz 1.35v

#

It doesn't make sense for 4.3 1.35v

#

what, 4.31.35v?

errant raft
#

Oh I'm sorry I didn't notice the space

Is it possibly to overclock an i5-9600k to 5ghz?

dull ginkgo
#

depends on the chip

#

also

long vine
#

Ok

#

Does the k at the end mean KabyLake? Because on CPUZ it says coffeelake and I don’t see the guide on reddit for coffeelake

latent wolf
#

k means It can be overclocked. With Intel k or X means it can be overclocked

Who has a i7 7700k?

uneven ermine
#

i have 8700, is that close enough?

bold wolf
#

Is it possible to overclock a i7 7700k @ 4.9ghz without delidding?

#

Asking for a friend

proven canopy
#

Maybe with a big chiller. 4.5-4.7 is about the best most people can do on ambient.

#

Delid typically gains 200-300 mhz.

bold wolf
#

Well he has a kraken x53 would it work without delidding?

proven canopy
#

Try it

bold wolf
#

His idle temps are around 35-45

#

On load it’s at 70-75

#

@proven canopy you have a i7 7700k right? What’s your OC and did u delid?

proven canopy
#

I daily'd it at 4.7 all core 0avx iirc

#

memory at 4133 17 18 18 38 1.45v

bold wolf
#

Dang!

#

4.7ghz what voltage? @proven canopy

proven canopy
#

Don't remember, somewhere between 1.2-1.3

#

Pre delid, I ran it at 4.5.

bold wolf
#

What’s temps idle and load?

proven canopy
#

Don't remember. Idle temps don't really mean much.

bold wolf
#

ahh okay

bold wolf
#

So I just got into undervolting my rx5700xt

#

And it’s at right now 1900Mhz 1040V

#

1920MHz mem clock

#

And 0% power limit

#

And so far on full load its temps are 70C with a. Junction of 85C is that good?

finite merlin
#

hey i dont have any gpu cooling problems, is it worth overclocking my RTX 2080?

proven canopy
#

yes

finite merlin
#

aight ill probably do that tomorrow, anything i should know beforehand? I plan to do it with MSI Afterburner after doing an OC scan

#

I already know the basics but is there any info that is often overlooked?

proven canopy
#

Max out the power limit in afterburner

#

Compare your scores to similar cards/configs on hwbot

finite merlin
#

also, if my pc crashes while testing an overclock do i just hold the power button or is there something specific i need to do? sorry if this is a dumb question im new to overclocking

#

and one more thing, is 650W enough to overclock an rtx 2080 if i also have an i7 8700k?

dull ginkgo
#

Dunno bout Intel TDPs but you should be able to

#

If it crashes, just start it up again like normal

#

It's good practice to disable MSI afterburner's apply on startup when you are messing with values @finite merlin

#

But that's just me

finite merlin
#

i dont have it on apply on startup so we are good

#

and thanks man youve been a real help today

#

so wait, does the OC only work when MSI Afterburner is on?

dull ginkgo
#

No

#

After applying you can close it

finite merlin
#

oh ok but whats the reason for not having it start on launch

dull ginkgo
#

Normally you should, but when you're testing overclocking, you don't want it to like boot loop you know

#

Like if you applied say +1000mhz memory for some reason, and it crashed, there's a chance it'll apply that again on start up and crash :p

finite merlin
#

oooh okay thanks for that tip that sounds like it would suckkkk

#

any other random niche tips i should know before trying tomorrow?

dull ginkgo
#

That was just something that happened to me once :p
People say it's good practice to do put your own fan speed so you can tell temp differences better between OC because auto fan speeds are. Well auto.

finite merlin
#

is a 650W gold psu enough for overclocking an rtx 2080 (paired with an i7 8700k btw)

neon rapids
#

yeah

finite merlin
#

thanks homie

#

and im boutta run an msi afterburner oc scan, last time i tried it after a little while my monitor went black but my fans were all still on so i just restarted, if that happens again do i just wait for it, or restart again

bold wolf
#

Is there a major difference between 4.7ghz and 4.8ghz on a i7 7700k?

sterile flame
#

i wouldnt think so when it comes to performance

proven canopy
#

100

finite merlin
#

should you run curve or offset on MSI Afterburner?

#

I just did a 3dMark test with curve and it worked, but would it be safer or more reliable to just enter in a number close to that?

Why

cinder wadi

Ye it is

#

The ROG Strix 2070 Super

dull ginkgo

it only allows you 1000?

it lets me +1500 on mine

#

My 2070 is stable up to +1400mhz

cinder wadi
#

Well thats the max on the oc software

#

What software do you use

#

@dull ginkgo

dull ginkgo
#

afterburner

cinder wadi
#

wont let me put 1.5K?

dull ginkgo

depends on cards

#

some limit more

cinder wadi
#

How is it a dead pixel when i can take a screenshot

latent wolf
#

He has a good point. A dead pixel wouldn't show on a screenshot

#

@cinder wadi Is that with a over locked gpu?

#

Dam auto corrct

cinder wadi
#

With overclock and not overclocked

latent wolf
#

Hmm I was gonna say artifacting if it was just over locked but if it's doing it on both then I don't know

#

I hate auto correct

cinder wadi
#

^

latent wolf
#

Do you have a different gpu you can try and see if it does it then as well?

cinder wadi
#

No lmao

latent wolf
#

Ok just an idea for testing anyway

cinder wadi
#

Imma install the new drivers

#

see if that does anything

I think when jayz did his temps video the other day he left everything to auto on his asus and and enabled MCE and it pumped something like 1.5v into his 10900k

I just checked. Jayz set it to 5.2ghz overclock and left voltage at auto. Went to 1.563v

Good way to clean vaseline off your hardware

water hurts electronics

manic helm
#

does it clean the shame off when you kill something

ruby hound
#

It actually works quite well, just let the board sit for a day or two afterwards, and your good to go mostly. Only heard it used by LN2 OCers to get the vaseline off but it works

#

I wouldn't out it in with dishes or anything, and would remove the cmos battery, but heard good things from a lot of people

dark ferry
#

Obviously water doesn't hurt electronics that are not powered on but if you really want to run the risk of having water become trapped somewhere you cannot see where it doesn't evaporate and ruin your board, well, I guess that's a worthwhile risk?

you can google to see what you might be able to get, but overclocking requires extensive testing per chip to make sure its stable
