overclocking

[manic helm]

My pentium is #1

[dull ginkgo]

@manic helm fr? What Pentium

[manic helm]

https://hwbot.org/submission/4503134_intender_cpu_frequency_pentium_g4600_3708.11_mhz

[dull ginkgo]

You're in first place by 1mhz lol

[manic helm]

when overclocking a locked cpu you take what you can get

[dull ginkgo]

Lol

[manic helm]

102.99fsb and pray for variation in the clock speed to get the screenshot and cpuz verification

[neon rapids]

lmao theres only 5 i could buy one and not change it to get 6th

[sterile flame]

5.6 is pretty weak

my 8086k did 5.7 on a custom

2 cores 2 threads. Really that's very weak on a chiller, the 8086k did ALL 6 HT off at 5.7 on a custom.

[sterile flame]

Im the one over here trying to kill an athlon on a wraith spire. Don't trust anything I say
@manic helm wraith spire

[dark linden]

@KillziahOC#4638

@KillziahOC#4638
@dark linden
8086 is a much stronger bin than 10600k

Most need over 1.3 for 5ghz on ambient

Even the 10700k's are pretty weak this generation. It looks like the 10900k's got all the good sand this time around

[hard ice]

@dark linden he left the server

and no, dont know why

[dark linden]

@dark linden he left the server
@hard ice
He tries to join every server I am on and harass me

[hard ice]

ah

[dark linden]

Probably can't send screen l shots of most of what he's said but it is not usually even coherent

[hard ice]

he has some understanding of the tech

[dark linden]

Yeah but this kind of offsets that

[hard ice]

you can see this in the short chat i had with him in #graphics-cards last night

aint saying he is sane (but then again, who of us is)

[dark linden]

My horrendous crime that I committed to cause him to flip out was telling him to be safe if he is building a cascade

[hard ice]

he seems to be a videocards/wctftech convert/zealot kind of person. IF i was to make a guess based on his statements here on this server.

@dark linden hey, how dare you! :P

[dark linden]

I know it is terrible

Trying to get people to not loose fingers

[hard ice]

the horror! (of being nice to other people)

[dark linden]

I learned my lesson and will never be nice again

[hard ice]

:(

[dark linden]

@hard ice I hate you

[hard ice]

may all your days be as easy as this one then

because if that is all it takes for you to hate someone, you are in for "interesting" times

:)

[dark linden]

I was just kidding I don't hate you

Just trying to start down the path of never being nice again

[hard ice]

the day that i worry what someone else thinks about me on the internet is the day i should pull the plug :)

[dark linden]

Unless it is a hitman off the silkroad then definitely worry

[hard ice]

nah, it either happens or it doesnt

[faint quest]

🔥

[sterile flame]

i have an i5 8400k and my cpu is running slower and I was thinking about over clocking it and i have a stock intel cooler so if you have any suggestions please tell me

[hard ice]

get a cooler that has some actual thermal headroom.

[sterile flame]

Okay, thanks.

[tight plinth]

8600k or 8400 non k? There is no 8400k

[signal sun]

How’s the 3900x for OCing

[cold jolt]

not good unless you have exotic cooling

honestly not even worth it

the actual perf increase from the maybe 200MHz you might be able to squeeze out of it wont be much

[signal sun]

K thnx

[vapid berry]

If it's slowing down, the thermal compound might be wearing out

So before, you had competent paste with an Intel stock cooler, and now you have worn out paste with an Intel stock cooler

New cooler & paste would do :)

[rich dragon]

I tried overclocking my R9 3900x to 4.6 but even with increasing the voltage it crashed

any help?

Im using Ryzen Master btw

[twilit hedge]

Your chip might not be able to handle that much of an OC

[proven canopy]

4.3 all core with an avx2 workload is about the best you can hope for.

Just use PBO

[twilit hedge]

Here's Silicon Lotteries binning stats

[dark linden]

Going to be doing 12 -gpu gpupi soon

12x rx 480's

And might do 12x 5700 if I upgrade my mining rig to them once eth dag hits 4gb

[proven canopy]

What kind of system are you running 12 gpu's in?

Chinese mining board / linux?

That board looks like an m9a

With some kind of hardware bios mod

[dark linden]

It is an apex ix in fact

I am using it as it was my only free board for testing out gpu bios mods

I have the asrock 13 gpu motherboard but I have access to a gpu server board that can do 12gpus at 4x

What's this wire
@proven canopy
I think it is the bios mod wire I did for coffee lake

But I don't remember

[proven canopy]

Interesting, I used different solder points for doing the coffee mod

[dark linden]

I never actually ended up using coffee lake on it

Or ever actual

8700k sat in a box then was sold without ever being used by me

[proven canopy]

Only reason I bought a 9700k was to learn how to uefi mod lol

Loved that system, daily drove it most of last year

[dark linden]

I know it's not traditional overclocking but 100 mh/s on only 3x rx 470 4gb

[proven canopy]

How much do you pay for power?

[dark linden]

How much do you pay for power?
0.14 per kw/h

[proven canopy]

I didn't realize altcoin gpu mining is somewhat profitable again https://whattomine.com/

damn, that's a lot

[dark linden]

It is really profitable right now

Making 400 a month off it

[proven canopy]

Lol wow, 580 makes $1.50 a day

deheck

well

I might pick up ... a lot.. of those

[dark linden]

Don't

[proven canopy]

Haven't seen an ROI like that since 2017

[dark linden]

Dag is about to hit 4gb

[proven canopy]

vram limitation? or?

[dark linden]

Yeah vram limit

4gb cards already can't mine on windows

[proven canopy]

I mean, what about 8GB cards

[dark linden]

And won't be able to mine in about a month

I mean, what about 8GB cards
@proven canopy
It depends if amd gets their **** together and releases a driver that allows a single file to be over 4gb

[proven canopy]

lol

But like, if 8GB polaris gpu's are $100 ish, that's still a pretty great ROI

[dark linden]

I really hope they don't so my 1070,1080, and 1080ti will bring me 5000$ a month from the difficulty dropping by 70% when no amd cards can mine

[proven canopy]

Budget gamers would love those cheapo 4GB cards

Same thing happened after 2017 bubble

I've just been folding because why not

But I'm definitely gonna read up on the mining game again haha

[dark linden]

But like, if 8GB polaris gpu's are $100 ish, that's still a pretty great ROI
Get 4gb if you really want to get some and use hive os. For 80$ cards you hit roi in like two months and at that point eth will no longer be able to be mined so switch to raven coin for another 3 months then sell the cards for 59$

[proven canopy]

I used to run nicehash on a bunch of 1080s

Ya, I don't expect to make bank off mining at any sane, non-commercial scale, but it's kinda fun to have a few thousand watts of gpu compute running in the basement

[dark linden]

Currently my rig is at just above 500mh/s

[proven canopy]

Do you run server psu's / breakouts?

[dark linden]

750$ a month before power

[proven canopy]

Those saved me a ton of cash in PSUs

I picked up a bunch of 750w plat HP common slots back then

$10 breakout boards

[dark linden]

Do you run server psu's / breakouts?
@proven canopy
Ant miner asic psus. 15$ for 1200W

[proven canopy]

Fair enough. My HP CS's were $20 iirc

[dark linden]

Got a stack of these

And the green ones which I think are 1200W

[proven canopy]

I ended up using them for mundane stuff around the house

[dark linden]

They are really nice for general 12v power

Like for powering a bunch of delta fans for rads and stuff

[twilit hedge]

brrrrrr

Are you overclocking server chips again?

[dark linden]

How is that scope? I need one

[proven canopy]

Old pic

[twilit hedge]

Okay

[proven canopy]

It's ok, the analog front end is meh

The 1104x-e just went on sale for 420

The 1202x-e is slow af in x-y mode

unlike the 1104

[twilit hedge]

That's a decent deal

[dark linden]

Yeah but that is another 420 I could use to expand my mine

[proven canopy]

Everyone seems to get the ds1054z

ds1054z is a lot easier to mod to 200mhz vs the siglents

Though they aren't hard

Also 4 channels

[twilit hedge]

I have an old heathkit o-scope I need to fix up

[dark linden]

I noticed there is an open outlet in the hallway next to my apartment door that isn't hooked up to my meter and I really want to run a few mining rigs off it then play dumb if the landlord says anything

[proven canopy]

Also I potato'd that board's bios chip running lie 240mhz reference clock

oops

lol

[dark linden]

The power resistor for my load tester is a bit bigger than I thought from the pictures

[proven canopy]

I should've bought this when I had the chance

haha, I just wrap kanthal wire around something ceramic for load

Just to flip, or re-sell to some overclocker

Because that's like half ebay price , almost

[dark linden]

Your local university surplus has amazing stuff. Mine only has chairs and stuff like that

[proven canopy]

for quad channel 500mhz, 2.5GS/s front end too

Sometimes, I check often and get lucky occasionally

[dark linden]

I am shipping your suction line tomorrow @proven canopy

[proven canopy]

[dark linden]

As well as the ram

And a few 775 cpus if I didn't forget them

I expect to actually see a single stage from you now though

[proven canopy]

I just need to pick a capillary size

Probably going with r290

And order a filter dryer, maybe

[dark linden]

What size compressor

And order a filter dryer, maybe
@proven canopy
Get a damn filter dryer

[proven canopy]

I could use either an 8k btu or 15k btu

[dark linden]

A Sud 111 is like 5$

I could use either an 8k btu or 15k btu
@proven canopy
Go with the 15k. 6 ft 7-8 inches 1mm cap tube

[proven canopy]

Don't remember the displacement from memory

[dark linden]

Maybe start with 7ft and cut down from there

Or 10ft 1.2mm and cut down from there

For 20cc I use 6 ft 4 inches for 350W load capacity

[dark linden]

Who's ready for 19 gpu gpu-pi?

Got 15 more gpus coming next week

[strange crypt]

You should get at least 15fps on csgo

[chrome crater]

Hello .. I bought 3600 mhz ram ddr4 and by default in task manager set to 2100 mhz so I tried to go to bios to oc the ram and enable the xmp .. but in the bios i cant find any of oc stuff , my bios look like this
https://images.app.goo.gl/Sc19LgawuuFWfSgo6

Where can i oc the ram any way to i dont know like unlock the bios ? Or any software or somthing ?
im using omen desktop btw

[twilit hedge]

What motherboard and CPU do you have?

[chrome crater]

i7-8700k

Tampa2 motherboard

[twilit hedge]

What chipset is that?

[chrome crater]

https://gyazo.com/f803eafa5d6eaca120ec08d9d517ff81

the ram?

[twilit hedge]

The motherboard chipset

Anything like b360?

[chrome crater]

Z370

[twilit hedge]

So it should support xmp

Let me look around a bit

[chrome crater]

thank u , appreciate ur help

k will waiting

[twilit hedge]

Where did you get the motherboard?

[chrome crater]

its came with the pc

[twilit hedge]

Okay

[chrome crater]

https://support.hp.com/ph-en/document/c06192432

this is the pc

[twilit hedge]

You've checked all the bios menus, even under advanced options?

[chrome crater]

yes nothing

[twilit hedge]

Okay

It looks like your motherboard doesn't support XMP

[chrome crater]

i tried extreme tuning utility

but alot of crashes

[twilit hedge]

You might contact HP to double check

[chrome crater]

changing the motherboard will work?

[twilit hedge]

Probably

You'll want to make sure it's a z370 board

mATX form factor

[chrome crater]

yea got it

appreciate your help , thank so much

[twilit hedge]

np

Looks like the cheapest currently available is $234 from amazon

So that's less than great

@chrome crater You might consider upgrading your CPU to an r5 3600 and getting an AMD motherboard. It will cost about the same

[chrome crater]

thanks really helped me out ❤️

[vapid berry]

That isn't the worst si motherboard I've seen

[twilit hedge]

Not by far. Standard form factors and connectors, just no XMP

[vapid berry]

I could totally live with that

Autocorrect wanted me to say love with that

[dark ferry]

Ok so I've been sitting stable @ 5ghz all cores 4700 uncore 9700k for close to a week now. I'm idling at 1.375v and sitting at exactly 1.3v under max load High LLC. Temps are fine. Was wondering if this seems like acceptable voltages.

[weak bane]

for intel i wuould say so

[dark ferry]

@weak bane Thanks for the feedback man.

[weak bane]

No problem i know for amd anything pass 1.55 is not good but for Intel I’ve seen people do 1.5 all the time so that’s fine

[sterile flame]

Hey guys I want to know if there are any comprehensive guides to overclocking my CPU. I’ve never done it before and I want to boost my gear

I am currently using i5 4670K this is my first PC I built years ago

[proven canopy]

https://www.overclockers.com/3step-guide-to-overclock-intel-haswell

[sterile flame]

Okay so what I’m getting from all the info I’m seeing so far is basically you increase the CPU voltage as high as you can without it overheating or becoming unstable

I’m sorry if this sounds like I’m an idiot I’ve just never done this before 🥴

[noble ravine]

@sterile flame yeah basically, as long as you have good cooling really

for my computer it has some overclock cpu but i made the mistake of using the cheapest fan and heatsink i could find on amazon

[proven canopy]

I wouldn't exceed ~1.35v on ambient cooling.

Shouldn't really need more than 1.3v

[sterile flame]

What temperature would be considered too hot for a CPU? 90C? Also let’s say someone over locks their CPU and attempts to bump voltage up. Does the CPU like IMMEDIATELY set on fire? Or Do you have time to stop it?

[dark ferry]

Depends on the cpu, its thermal limit, the test being used, the duration of the test, etc. The cpu is going to thermal throttle before it gets damaged I would imagine. As long as you haven't messed with the temp limits.

I run a 1hr Realbench for my testing. I consider the 90c I get on two cores for an instant as acceptable, since the rest of my cores are in the mid-low 80s and it only happens for an incredibly short duration. My default thermal limit would be 100c. If it hasn't reached that after an hour I figure it's likely not going to, especially since my usage would never exceed my stress test scenario.

[robust cipher]

unless you did something super stupid, it won't burn out instantly. when you boot up, you'll be at idle and when you put it under load then thats when your temps spike

[restive cargo]

@short blade Speak here

[short blade]

I'm gonna turn it back up to 1.35V and see if that's better

[restive cargo]

What voltage are you on now?

[short blade]

1.34

[restive cargo]

From my experiance on 5.0 Ghz overclocks most Intel chips at least out of the ones I've done... start to get stabil around 1.350 vcore. Anything underthat unless you have a god chip won't be stabil.

And some still won't be stabil unless you do like what you're doing and running an AVX offset.

[short blade]

yeah it isn't stable at 5GHz AVX 0 even at 1.4V

[restive cargo]

But as Forks says an AVX offset is for the weak.

[short blade]

and I can't go higher than 1.4V on a 240mm rad

[restive cargo]

You shouldn't go higher than that in general.

1.4 is max on Intel chips.

[short blade]

I'm aware

[restive cargo]

At least with standard cooling and not something exotic like liquid nitrogen etc...

[short blade]

I meant for like benchmarking/fun purposes

not daily use

[restive cargo]

Oh yeah for that 1.4 benchmarking would be fine.

Won't hurt it to run it ocassionaly at that voltage.

[short blade]

even 1.44 should be okay for one benchmark or two if you can keep it cool no?

[restive cargo]

But overtime it will start degarding the chip and you will have to put more voltage to get stabil once it starts degrading.

I wouldn't

[short blade]

I'm targetting 1.35-1.36 anyways

[restive cargo]

I wouldn't go anywhere past 1.410 and even that is pushing it to the limit.

Yes that is good.

Anywhere up to 1.4 is ok for daily use even 1.390 just don't run 1.4 daily.

[short blade]

I know that 1.4V is the long term limit yeah

[proven canopy]

My 9900k did 5.0 4.7 ring on air, d15

[restive cargo]

Love the D15

[proven canopy]

Not p95 small fft stable, because overheat

[restive cargo]

Sips buy a d15

[proven canopy]

But stable

Just would temp throttle

[short blade]

d15 is probably about as good as a 240mm rad though isn't it

[proven canopy]

z390 dark tho

[restive cargo]

Eh

D15 is god

god of air

[short blade]

yeah this throttles in p95 too but doesn't crash

[proven canopy]

before the water loop

[restive cargo]

big boy

[dull ginkgo]

is dat a

[short blade]

yeah 1.35 not good either

[dull ginkgo]

D15

[short blade]

going back to 1.36

[restive cargo]

So your at 5.0Ghz with an AVX offset of 1 right now?

[short blade]

yeah

[restive cargo]

What's you cashe at?

[short blade]

...auto LOL

[restive cargo]

NO

BAD

[short blade]

i tried looking for info on the cache OC didn't find any

what do

[restive cargo]

Set cashe to 48, try it there.

[short blade]

is cache and ring the same thing or something else

cause I don't see anything called ring in the OC section

[restive cargo]

ring gonna try and make the cashe perform as close to the cpu speeds as posdbile.

[short blade]

there's 3 settings here

what do

[restive cargo]

But if you see cashe min and max set it to 47 or 48.

Yes try 47

[short blade]

what about current limit

[restive cargo]

As a start

Might be able to do 48.

[short blade]

I'll do min 47 max 48

[restive cargo]

NO

[short blade]

do I leave current limit on auto

[restive cargo]

Set them the same

[short blade]

ok

[restive cargo]

Uh

I want to say you set that to max

Type like some random number like 5000 and see what it does.

Wait what's it say when you hover over it.

[short blade]

I already booted

[restive cargo]

With it on auto and cashe at 47?

[short blade]

Yeah

[restive cargo]

Okay I guess it's fine.

Try it now.

So your at 5.0Ghz with an AVX offset of 1.0 and cashe at 47.

[short blade]

I don't see a cache speed anywhere in hwinfo64

[restive cargo]

That's looking good.

It's set to 47.

Just know it is.

[short blade]

yeah I think this is really good for a 7700K isn't it

[restive cargo]

Eh

[short blade]

the owner expected 4.7-4.8

seems like above average bin

cinebench looking good so far should I try prime95 first or try 48 cache first

[restive cargo]

maybe

To know if it's really stabil you have to run P95 without any crashes for 10 min.

[short blade]

I've upped voltage back to 1.36

1.35 was acting funny

[restive cargo]

I mean if your just benchmarking you should be fine if it passes R20 but for daily use run a P95 test for 10 mins.

small fft to hit it hard.

[short blade]

ouch

yeah small ffts is giving errors

[restive cargo]

But did it BSOD?

[short blade]

no

the tests are getting errors and stopping

[restive cargo]

ok keep going until it bsod

[short blade]

but no bsod

[restive cargo]

It's gonna bsod

[short blade]

7 threads stopped

thread 1 is still going

3 of the stopped threads were able to complete a test before stopping

[restive cargo]

If you don't want to hit it as hard as P95 does you may want to try AIDA 64 but make sure you only select the cpu to bench and not everything else in your system.
You don't want to have other varribles.

[short blade]

I'm running out of time btw

I'm doing this for someone else but I only have like 1 hour left

[restive cargo]

But if you do use AIDA64 it's not near as hard hitting as P95 so you'd have to run it longer to find a potential BSOD.
Like where P95 you only have to run it around 10 mins to find errors, with AIDA 64 you might have to run it an hour.

[short blade]

thread 1 is still working

but isn't it a bad sign that the others all stopped

[restive cargo]

I don't get why some are stopping, usually if it won't pass P95 the whole system just crashes it doesn't stop threads when they get an error.

That's weird/

It should just BSOD it shouldn't be stopping individual threads.

[short blade]

ok well thread 1 stopped with an error after 4 tests

[restive cargo]

That's so weird

[short blade]

but no bsod still even after all stopped

[restive cargo]

P95 should just keep forcing it to go until it BSOD.

Why is your P95 stopping.

[short blade]

it said that there were rounding errors

maybe it's just extremely slightly unstable

should I up voltage or lower cache speed

[restive cargo]

What's voltage now?

[short blade]

1.36

[restive cargo]

Leave cashe at 47, set vcore to 1.370 and if you want to add the AVX offset of 2 I told you about.

It should be more stabil wiht that.

[short blade]

I try 1.37V first

[restive cargo]

Yes

Just change that see what it does.

[short blade]

immediate errors again

system frozen

higher voltage somehow more unstable huh

[restive cargo]

temp

Increased temp which made it more unstabil.

[short blade]

so 1.36 AVX 2?

[restive cargo]

I'm telling you try AVX offset of 2 with a vcore of 1.360 and It be good.

Might have to do 1.365 but only if 1.360 isn't good enough.

[short blade]

I'll try it

still error

[restive cargo]

In 5 years I've never seen P95 error.

It always just BSODs

[short blade]

gonna try cache 46

[restive cargo]

Eh

I wouldn't

47 is already 3 under the cpu core speed.

What'

What's your memory set at?

Is it XMP and if so what voltage is on the RAM?

[short blade]

this guy has 2133mhz ram lol

[restive cargo]

Can you change the cvoltage?

[short blade]

the what

[restive cargo]

Wait what's the RAM

G.skill RAM?

[short blade]

no he has 3 mismatched modules LOL

[restive cargo]

🤮

That's honestly probably your problem \

You don't do that

You just don't

[short blade]

yeah I know

not my system though

[restive cargo]

I'd take the 3rd stick out and just run in dual channel.

At least for getting it stabil.

[dull ginkgo]

or hell single channel

if it's 3 separate sticks

[short blade]

not my option

[restive cargo]

Who puts 3 sticks.

like tf

it's either one stick, two sticks, or four sticks.

3 sticks is so weird.

[short blade]

it's 8+8+4

idk lol

[dull ginkgo]

can't you just take the 4gb out

[restive cargo]

Yes

What is 4GB really gonna do

He already has 16Gb

[short blade]

I'm not gonna argue with him about it lol

I'll just recommend that he changes his RAM on his own

[restive cargo]

Bad friend

[short blade]

not a friend

[restive cargo]

Friends don't let friends use 3 sticks of RAM.

Huh

[short blade]

random guy who messaged my build listing asking if I'd OC his existing system for $50 lol

why not

[restive cargo]

What a time lapse.

[short blade]

anyways the 5.0 AVX 2 1.36V 46 ring is stable

so I'll just leave it at this

[restive cargo]

Excelent.

[short blade]

cinebench is like 20% higher than stock

not too shabby

[dark ferry]

@short blade 1.4v in bios isn't always really 1.4v. If you're on 9th gen or higher look at your VR VOUT. That's your real voltage. I run 5ghz all cores 9700k Gigabyte Aorus Pro Wifi with High LLC at 1.415v but my real voltage is 1.3 under max load and 1.375 at idle.

[short blade]

it's 7th gen

[dark ferry]

I can't say for certain the same would apply. I would check into it. What chip?

[short blade]

7700k

it's already gone anyways

sent it away

[dark ferry]

Sent it away, lul. Bye bye. So long.

Can't do 5ghz? You are of no use to me...

Ok I'm done.

[short blade]

i mean it did do 5ghz

kind of

xd

[proven canopy]

vr out is a gigabyte mobo thing

[short blade]

it was an asus z170

[maiden crescent]

anyone know the oc potential of a samsung C-die ram?

and voltage max?

[dull ginkgo]

check pinned

[jade pulsar]

[sterile flame]

don't have time for that rn
Will the lga1151 Asus Prime be able to get the 9900k up to 5ghz? I did hear about temperature issues with the VRMs.

[deft rain]

@sterile flame I’m not sure about the cooling issues but that board, if working properly, should definitely get a 9900k to 5GHz

[sterile flame]

Is that the extent of it?

I' not trying to break any records, I just want to be able to OC at the end of my warranty

[deft rain]

provided u have decent cooling (a 9900k definitely needs an aio) the advertised boost clock is pretty easy to hit

depending on your board/cooling/lottery u could go higher

[dull ginkgo]

Just watch your voltage

It's basically guaranteed you'll get 5ghz at some voltage, just don't try to daily 1.5v

[sterile flame]

I've hear that unless you are doing extreme oc then there really isn't a difference between air and water cooling.
but the 9900k is a hot one

[dull ginkgo]

Yes

[sterile flame]

Like, would a Noctua tower cooler work?

@manic helm not nearly enough

I need about 100 asus x48 boards to get one up to my standards

[dark linden]

I've got extras

I am on the hunt for a 670 fsb 32m board on air 3:5 mem

I never really bothered with any ddr 3 boards. I had a 2600 on a h61 board someone gave me but I turned it into my parents computer.

[dark linden]

I love ddr3 specifically 775

I've probably spent 4k binning boards. I just dropped 500 on two sticks of gtx2 hypers

I've made more than that selling boards though

[manic helm]

Everytime I go to the dump I keep looking for some good scrap from that generation to steal

[dark linden]

Asus x48, gigabyte p45 are the only two that you really want

X48 Foxconn blackops is okay

[manic helm]

Past few months seems to be low end 775 boards everywhere

[dark linden]

Biostar p45 is good for max fsb cpuz suicide runs

snatched up some cpus but they were both celerons when I wiped off the paste

Last week was all old systems. athlon xp. 1.2 tualatin celeron.

I have a q6600 and wolfdale 4300 may I think it is. the rest are celerons and pentiums.

[dark linden]

Are they all broken? Lol
@sterile flame
At least 98% of them work

I was binning 775 cpus

[sterile flame]

Damn

[dark linden]

I was also binning hypers

Went through 30-40 sticks

But am selling all of them and getting gtx2's. 6-7-6 at 2200mhz with only 1.71v

My best sticks needed 2v for that

And they were considered quite strong

I think my kit of hypers that I got might be the strongest in the world that I know of at least

[manic helm]

I am probably giving up on the 775 benching. I might be able to push the q6600 a bit on air, but none of these boards are going to do anything for me without vcore adjustment.

Cant justify spending on an old board

Kids started back to homeschooling today so My life is pretty much over for a while.

no time for playing

[dark linden]

There are probably 40-50 dead sticks

There were only 200 sticks of gtx2 made and they were by far the best bin of hypers by mile and my two sticks are best of 15 tested

I am probably giving up on the 775 benching. I might be able to push the q6600 a bit on air, but none of these boards are going to do anything for me without vcore adjustment.
@manic helm

[pliant lava]

Hey all just curious what is the actual performance gain you can expect to see when ocing memory?

[dull ginkgo]

You don't know until you actually do it and see how far you can go :D
Memory frequency usually doesn't matter too much unless you're OCing <3600mhz for Ryzen. Afaik lower timings lead to lower latency and overall snappiness, some performance gains in programs too.

[neon rapids]

tldr a few frames

[pliant lava]

@neon rapids now thats a nice tldr haha

But ok that kinda helps I was talking to you guys the other day about the ballistix vs the Vulcan kit

[uneven jetty]

would overclocking a rysen amd 7 3700X worth some of the down falls of overclocking

[dull ginkgo]

@uneven jetty if you want to negate most of the downfalls, just use PBO

PBO doesn't burn the chip or crash your pc

[robust cipher]

^^^

how well does pbo work on the stock cooler?

[robust cipher]

no

[tight plinth]

@pliant lava If you're on Intel, you really start seeing the perf differences at like 4000MT/s CL16, which if not GPU limited is about 10% faster then 3200MT/s CL16. Tho that's generally only recommended for people who do comp FPS and need every bit of FPS they can get with their 10900k or whatever they have.

as usually you'll be mostly GPU bound

[pliant lava]

@tight plinth it will be on an AMD system

[neon rapids]

anything over 3600cl14 or so is tangible afaik, running infinity fabric at 2:1 is where the benefits stop

[proven canopy]

You want to run 1:1

Running 1:1 with >3600mhz memory means running >1800mhz on the infinity fabric, which is tricky to get stable

1900IF is definitely doable though, with a good chip. Check the zen2 community OC spreadsheet in the pinned posts.

[short blade]

hey forks you here?

[proven canopy]

kinda

[short blade]

if cpu voltage is still dropping with maximum LLC and temps aren't at thermal throttle point

what else could be limiting it?

[proven canopy]

Short/long term power limts

[short blade]

i set current limit to max

[proven canopy]

Post the specs

[short blade]

oh i thought setting manual multiplier would disable those power limits

[proven canopy]

Asus MCE does

kinda

[short blade]

it is on

[proven canopy]

Specs?

[short blade]

delidded 7700K
ASUS Z170-A
4.9 AVX -1
4.6 ring
ring/core current limit maximum
garbage ram
asus MCE on, power limits all auto
1.38 Vcore
LLC 5 (had it at LLC 7 but it was still dropping)

it's the same guy's rig that i'm working on again

so i should change power limits?

\

[proven canopy]

Max out the power limits

[short blade]

what values

[proven canopy]

The bottom two fields won't matter unless you run adaptive vcore

9999999999999

[short blade]

okay

[proven canopy]

Which the bios will change to 4096 and 255

[short blade]

okay

[proven canopy]

Personally, I'd rather run 4.8 all core, 0 avx

[short blade]

vcore is on manual override

[proven canopy]

Then run cache on 4.5

[short blade]

so just leave the bottom two alone?

[proven canopy]

You can change them, it just doesn't matter

They only matter if you're using adaptive

(don't change them)

[short blade]

would 4.8 with 4.5 cache be better

[proven canopy]

Like I said, that's what I would do

It's not night or day, but it'd be my choice

[short blade]

it's throttling even harder now after maxing out power limits

from 4.3ghz to 3.5ghz

[proven canopy]

That's really strange

[short blade]

Take a screenshot of the full hwinfo64 screen

[proven canopy]

hwinfo64 will tell you what's causing throttling

Also, this isn't a windows power plan setting, is it?

[short blade]

VID is really low but Vcore is 1.36

@proven canopy

power plan is set to high performance right now

[proven canopy]

Don't pay attention to vid

[short blade]

yeah i know vcore is what matters

was just wondering if the absurdly low VID has any significance

we set it back to LLC7

[proven canopy]

Bruh

The chip is temp throttling

It's literally red

[short blade]

i thought throttling is at 100?

[proven canopy]

Ok, well , you don't exactly want it at 95C do you?

And no

[short blade]

so it's just thermals?

not sure why it would go from 4.3 before delid to 3.5 after delid then

and not sure how this 240mm aio can't handle like 110W

it's definitely mounted correctly

[proven canopy]

botched delid would be my guess

[short blade]

i told him to knock it down to 4.8, 0 avx, 4.5 ring, 1.35 Vcore

[proven canopy]

Did they LM both sides of the die + IHS

Rather, the top of the die and the underside of the IHS

[short blade]

he used NT-H1 instead of LM

[dull ginkgo]

[proven canopy]

Did they scrape off the black goop?

The silicone glue?

[short blade]

he said he didn't

[proven canopy]

There's your problem

[short blade]

so is it not mounted tightly enough

cause the silicone glue is in the way?

[proven canopy]

That's my guess

[short blade]

i'll let him know

he's asking how he can scrape it off of the PCB

safely

he's not worried about scraping it off the IHS but the PCB he's worried about

@proven canopy

this guide i'm looking at says a plastic credit card is good?

[proven canopy]

That's what I used

[short blade]

okay

mind if i ping you again after he gets all the glue off

[proven canopy]

no

[short blade]

❤️

ily

[short blade]

@proven canopy he got all the glue off and remounted it now giving it a test

@proven canopy so it's still shooting up to like 95C but it's actually running at 4.8ghz now instead of 3.5

so yeah the glue was the culprit

gonna see if we can tune the voltage down to get temps down

LLC 6

[proven canopy]

<1.4v should be fine provided cooling is in check

[short blade]

yeah the cooling is the weakest link i think

[proven canopy]

LLC 5 or 6 is the go-to starting point for high end asus boards

Idk about that one

Easy to check anyway

[short blade]

cause he delidded it again and scraped off all the glue

and remounted it

and the temps are still not good

although no longer throttling

[proven canopy]

I mean, with normal thermal paste under the IHS - you're not going to get amazing thermals

But at least you shouldn't throttle

[short blade]

yeah for sure

he doesn't want to take the risk of using LM though since he's not like

competitive

just wants a good daily use OC

it is hitting 95C but doesn't appear to be throttling, just hot

[proven canopy]

personally, I'd run maybe 4.7 or something, then try go for 4133 cl17 on memory

That's what I did on my 7700k

[short blade]

[proven canopy]

LM both sides of IHS D15

[short blade]

[proven canopy]

Later replaced both with kryonaut

Then repurposed said board/cpu to the newegg minecraft server, then sold it

[short blade]

yeah you definitely have better cooling lol

[dark ferry]

Those bins always throw me off. It's the AVX Offsets. Are you ever really running at the non-avx frequency? I find with a set AVX Offset I am running at the Offset 100% of the time, so why not just set that as the main frequency and be done with it?

Like for the 9700k bins. 100% can do 4.9ghz all cores, but with a -2 offset. Meaning they're running 4.7ghz literally all the time.

Would also be helpful if it mentioned which LLC these values were managed at...

[proven canopy]

Would also be helpful if it mentioned which LLC these values were managed at...
Not really

The voltages they state are vcore under load.

LLC settings will vary by board.

Configure your LLC such that it gives you the minimum stable load vcore for your specific config.

On asus boards, that's usually level 5 or 6, but results vary.

[dark ferry]

Yea my system crashes regardless of vcore, llc setting, load voltage, or temps if I go above 4.8ghz.

And I realize llc is different on different boards, but it would at least give you a starting point.

Also those are the load voltages? I'm pretty sure those are the voltages they have set in bios, not the read lowest load voltage.

I doubt anyone refers to their vcore setting as the load voltage readout. That's like me saying I'm running 5ghz at 1.3 vcore because that's my VR VOUT readout load voltage, when in reality my vcore is set to 1.415v in bios.

[proven canopy]

No

That makes no sense, lol

Point is, you should be checking your load vcore anyway

SL could try to tell you what LLC + bios voltage to enter in, but you'd be a fool to just plug in those numbers and run with it without testing it yourself.

[dark ferry]

Apparently on Gigabyte z390 boards Vcore is not accurate and you're suppose to monitor VR VOUT.

No one ever said "without testing" but if you knew which LLC and on what type of board you could at least find out how much Vdroop that setting general is and start by trying to match it based on your own board's LLC settings, by testing of course. Just to have a starting point.

Could also help disprove the list. 100% can run this at that setting. I highly doubt it. My chip won't run anything at fixed voltage, period.

I ended up at 4.8ghz all cores with auto vcore and llc. Nothing else is stable. If I switch to Fixed voltage even at this frequency, unstable. Explain that?

I've tried every vcore and llc setting other than Ultra Extreme at 4.8, 4.9, and 5ghz. Literally fixed voltage just plain means no go on my board. So for me seeing a bin list that says 100% of this cpu can do 4.9ghz all cores at 1.337v and 90% can do 5ghz all cores at 1.35v is rather misleading and frustrating.

[sterile flame]

I feel out of my league coming In here

Even being in two overclocking discord’s

[proven canopy]

Insufficient cooling or whatever bin of chip you have can't do those settings.

What chip?

[dark ferry]

9700k, Gigabyte z390 Aorus Pro Wifi, 240mm AIO.

[proven canopy]

What are load temps at 150W

U12A cooler

[dark ferry]

Off the top of my head the closest I can think of is where I'm at now, 4.8ghz I see it pull up to 160 watts in cinebench and reach 80c after a few consecutive runs. I do not use Cinebench as a stress test. I just don't have the numbers off the top of my head that you're asking.

It takes a few runs back to back before it'll hit 80c on 1-2 cores.

[proven canopy]

I think gigabyte's "high" llc = .08mohms = asus llc5 = EVGA -25%

[dark ferry]

I thought I was stable at high LLC tbh.

Was running fine for two weeks.

Realbench would give me temps in the 90s though, but nothing close to the thermal limit and only after an extended period of time.

Then for a reason I can't remember I ran a cinebench and cinebench itself started CTDing without a warning or error window.

So I assumed I wasn't actually stable. This was at 1.415v set in bios, High LLC, VR VOUT reading 1.375v idle and 1.3v max load.

One guys told me the problem was VRM Switching Frequency being set wrong by the manufacturer. Our board doesn't have this setting.

guy*

I haven't even tested my most stable settings so far with OCCT

I imagine it would probably crash.

[proven canopy]

VRM switching frequency shouldn't matter that much if you haven't changed it from default.

[dark ferry]

But i was able to use it for two weeks without issues.

I can't possibly go any higher on the voltage.

And these voltages are so ridiculously high compared to what everyone physically sets in their bios.

I haven't met one person who needed to set their bios voltage at more than 1.4v for 5ghz.

I've heard of bad bins, but this doesn't seem like that.

This seems like something simple is being overlooked.

I have all the advanced cpu settings disabled, other than thermal protections.

I'm sure I don't have a great bin but I should still be able to manage 5ghz at lower voltage than this.

Or be able to find stability at close to these settings.

Oh and I tried higher LLC with lower Vcore. Same load voltage, crashed during medial tasks.

Or to be more specific, system freeze.

Anyway, sorry for the ranting and frustration, but I bought a more expensive z390 board after already owning a cheap one, along with a better PSU with the intent of overclocking.

I refuse to accept that 4.8 is all I'm capable off after spending an extra $300.

And maybe it is, but if that's the case it really makes me want to throw this entire pc out the window.

Btw my assumption at the time was that I needed a better VRM and more efficient power for overclocking. Since my first board only had one 4 pin and 6+2 phase power.

Sorry 4 pin, 8 pin, whatever. Can't remember.

[proven canopy]

Sounds like the chip is/was a low bin and has possibly been degraded, though the voltages and LLC settings you've indicated shouldn't do that, especially so quickly.

[dark ferry]

I figured the same thing. I can't believe it would have degraded. I only did most of this in testing, Till I stuck with the settings I mentioned for two weeks. And those voltages aren't exactly high, other than what's actually set in bios. But 1.375 idle and 1.3 load shouldn't degrade a chip. At 4.8 and auto voltage it only pulls 1.275 at load. Nothing about MY chip makes any sense.

I feel like there's something wrong with the chip, like from the day of purchase. Though I doubt Intel is going to see it that way and replace it. They'll probably just tell me to Go F Myself.

And yea I get they don't SUPPORT overclocking, but that's literally why I spent so much on this system. I can't afford to just go out and replace this. Just once I wanted to have a decent chip. Just once.

Everyone else seems to luck out. Why not me?

[twilit hedge]

@proven canopy thoughts on increasing TDC?

[proven canopy]

On what chip?

Just cool it good

https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3491-explaining-precision-boost-overdrive-benchmarks-auto-oc

[twilit hedge]

3950x currently undervolted to 1.1325v, 360mm aio w/ temps around 75-80 under extended load

TDC is set to 95A by default, and it's pegging it as soon as any load spins up

We set PBO to pull the limits from the mobo

[flint sapphire]

TDC and EDDC are up to 255A but no significant performance improvements

[twilit hedge]

Clock speeds are up tho

[flint sapphire]

Current best Cinebench R20 score is 8287. I know Cinebench isn't the best benchmark but it's what I've got

Thoughts on how to improve?

[proven canopy]

Post your system specs or just link the results page

[twilit hedge]

Ram is crap

[flint sapphire]

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/3597476

I was messing with undervolting this morning. The link is at 1.20V

Just got a 9116 Cinebench R20

[twilit hedge]

So higher voltage helped a bit

[flint sapphire]

Temps up to low 80s

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/3597718

1.25V

[royal lance]

@proven canopy Why are your Ram running at 2132MHz 😄

[proven canopy]

Me? What screenshot

[vapid berry]

2132, just round it up to 2133 and it's standard speed

[sterile flame]

Why is the gpu tweak 2 so bad, like the ui for fan customization is straight garbage, also when you to auto overclock the changes you make are randomized even after you set them. msi afterburner vs gpu tweak and why

[proven canopy]

I prefer afterburner

Precision x1 isn't so bad these days though

[next canyon]

does anyone know how to overclock cpus?

[dull ginkgo]

[austere patio]

^ ^

[charred inlet]

just finished my first real overclock

[deft rain]

ah thats a rookie oc

didnt even change the power limit

[dull ginkgo]

Lol

[proven canopy]

Weekly remind that https://benchmate.org/ exists, give it a try and post your scores here if you're interested in benchmarking.

[dull ginkgo]

@proven canopy tbh I kinda want to make a bench just for benchmarking but I can't

[proven canopy]

Most people use their motherboard box

[dull ginkgo]

I mean

Separate mobo separate drive

Its a weird request but I'd like to keep my screwey bios settings on my main board

[proven canopy]

Bios profiles are useful for that

[dull ginkgo]

Eh

Also clean install windows

[proven canopy]

But ya, a separate $10 hdd or $20 ssd is ideal for any kind of competitive benchmarking

[dull ginkgo]

Wait a moment

I can do that

I have a spare team ms30

I forgot

Because windows bloatware stuff

[proven canopy]

Eh, win 10 isn't that bad, but you can strip it easily

Something like this v

https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script

The default config is great for benching, not a huge difference though

[dull ginkgo]

Eh, I have programs and stuff on startup

Too lazy to disable and stuff

Actually I'll read over pinned stuff later

[narrow jungle]

petition to rename this channel Forks' channel

instead of overclocking

[tight plinth]

@charred inlet sorry to break your soul here, but a real OC would be to flash an XOC vBIOS to allow for "infinite" Power Limit and increase Cole Voltage limit. Then OC via voltage/frequency graph (press ctrl+f in Afterburner).

but still, good job. OCs like that can still be a tedious job to OC

[proven canopy]

You need to waterblock the card to take advantage of increasing power limit much more than ~300-400 watts.

[next nacelle]

For overclocking a cpu do you only really need to overclock its ratio which is like telling it what to run at and then the voltage you want. Or is there more to that. And also do you need to overclock your ram as well if you want to overclock your cpu?

For reference I am aiming for 4.2 ghz

[proven canopy]

Post your system specs, an easy way to do that is to run a userbenchmark

[dull ginkgo]

Things depend on your exact situation

[worldly matrix]

Ima oc my 3080 to 5ghz

And my 3700x to 10

[uneven jetty]

is over locking stuff worth not having it last a long time or if it’s good enough already should i not overclock

[novel narwhal]

who can help

I wanna overclock my ryzen 7 2700x because after effects like stronger core power

[hard ice]

check the pins @novel narwhal

[novel narwhal]

I did

[idle remnant]

can u overclock a non x cpu

r5 3600

[cold jolt]

all ryzen cpus are unlocked

[versed oasis]

what chipsets can overclcok the celeron 450

[idle remnant]

probably a rlly old one

[paper osprey]

fun fact

you can increase tdp of mobile ryzen laptops

also allows for GPU and cpu overclocking but only like getting stock speeds out of an underclocked version

-55c chiller to push a 10900k and 3090

Fluid temps are about negitive 48c

[deft rain]

bruh ur nuts

[paper osprey]

jesus

how far did you push it

Also how do you have a 3090

[dark linden]

Working on one that does -80c fluid temps

[paper osprey]

damn that must have frosted a lot

[dark linden]

Also how do you have a 3090
@paper osprey
I don't but the person who is buying this is getting one when it comes out to run it on the chiller

damn that must have frosted a lot
@paper osprey
I use rubberized foam insulation. No condensation what so ever

[paper osprey]

well I don't know how that's going to work usually water blocks don't come out until about 3 weeks after the GPU is released

And nice rubber foam is the way to go

[dark linden]

They are going to be running it with a 2080 super until they upgrade to the 3090

[paper osprey]

nice nice

Also is that a liquid nitrogen tank, or a chiller?

[dark linden]

Is what a liquid nitrogen tank?

The picture I sent was of my home made chiller

Those are two of my liquid nitrogen tanks

[paper osprey]

It kind of looks like one, due to the warning sticker and reinforced tubing.

Yeah that's liquid nitrogen

[dark linden]

That is copper pipe. It is a phase change cooler it compresses gas and then evaporates it to cool the heat exchanger

Those pipes don't carry liquid

Well some carry liquid refrigerant but it is a closed loop system

That rectangular thing is a 20 plate heat exchanger where the water loop is chilled

You can see the two blue hoses that carry the coolant for the computer

[paper osprey]

Damn so like industrial grade or enthusiast grade

[next canyon]

is overclocking cpu's worth it?

[dull ginkgo]

Up for you to decide

[hard ice]

check the pins

[ornate pewter]

I bought G.Skill Ripjaws V 2x8GB DDR4 3600 and just found out it's only running 2133. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 and a B550 mobo and I just found out there's a factor of compatibility (I can't find this RAM on the AMD lists). Can I oc the RAM still? Also, apparently my GPU (Radeon RX 5600 XT) is performing below average. Any way to improve that? (pls tag me if you reply. im gonna forget to come back)

I feel like I messed up because I deeply researched every part before I bought it, and I'm disappointed I didn't come across this.

[neon rapids]

just turn on docp in the bios and it should work fine

@ornate pewter

[deft rain]

@ornate pewter all ddr4 is 2133. anything above that is a factory overclock that u need to enable

[ornate pewter]

@neon rapids @deft rain Thanks, yall. I'll look for docp and try to OC it

[ornate pewter]

Following up, I went into my BIOS and tried to look for RAM OC settings. Didn't find anything called "docp" but I found an Overclocking tab and somehow got it to work. Benchmarks went up from just OCing the RAM alone. Thanks again

[manic helm]

is it sad that my new laptop cpu is faster than my desktop cpu

[hard ice]

nah

progress mate, progress

remember to wipe with dollar bills next time

[manic helm]

in R20 its scoring about 4700. Pretty impressed so far.

[hard ice]

which one?

[manic helm]

Lenovo Legion with a Ryzen 4800h

Wegg didn't have it so I had to order it on amazon

[hard ice]

the legion 5?

[manic helm]

ya, but its the one with a 1660ti and 16gb of ram

[hard ice]

120hz display and all that ?

[manic helm]

144 on this one

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BB9RWXD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For some reason this particular one is only on Amazon

[hard ice]

that is a very nice price imo
