scalar should always be auto

setting it not auto disables built in silicon protection regardless of any other settings

what about exceeding 180 amps for TDC/EDC?

#

I just noticed I have a setting to set VDDCR Current Capability to 110, 120, or 130%

#

will allow me to exceed 180 amps for TDC/EDC?

#

or does this just have bad idea written all over it?

#

ya my PBO doesn't have more than +200mhz

#

I'm gonna set it to 110% & set TDC/EDC to 181 & see if it even goes above 180 at all

Sounds bought right lmao

if you set it to live or whatever on Benchmate, you won't even see it do the run it just appears all the sudden

so here's a random story

#

I broke up with my girl a little while ago cuz she drives me nuts

#

I get a knock on the door today

#

and there's a freaking 55" TV and a note that says I'm sorry

#

short blade
#

damn

#

you must've been real ggood to her

modern walrus
#

I'm leave it at her house with a note that says 65"+ & 120hz & we'll talk

lol

#

I need a new discord name. Using my school ID is lazy

short blade
#

alright bro I respect the hustle

#

get one of them new samsung oleds

modern walrus
#

heck I wish

#

I don't really use TVs much lately

short blade
#

ask her for another 3090

modern walrus
#

another? I have a 3070 & 3060 lol

short blade
#

oh

modern walrus
#

if I didn't waterblock this 3070 I might try to get a 3080 or 3090 but now I'm committed

short blade
#

ask her to get you a 3090 and redo your loop for you

modern walrus
#

lol you think if I got a 3090 and waterblocked it with another EK block it would line up?

#

I guess I could put a 3090 in my 10900K system and sell the 3060

#

I think Razer synapse uses a lot of resources

#

how do you set like an application's level of importance?

That said, if a girl got me a 3090 I would be tempted to jump a couple hoops...

That and TT RGB

#

yesterday I couldn't beat 13000 & was going nuts trying to figure out why

amazing Synapse is so intense like that wth

#

I'm trying rn to see if I can pull off a 47.25 all core for benchmate

#

I dunno if 1.300v is high enough and I'm not going past 1.3

#

looking like a no

#

I wish Asus made it clear whether level 1 or level 5 LLC was the highest

modern walrus
#

well I got 47.25 to go I almost scored 24k

#

gonna see if 47.5 will play ball

#

hmm 1.306 too high? lol just for one cinebench?

#

oh nice SVI2 only shows 1.294-1.300

#

nice 24,097

#

awwwwww yeeeee

I wanna thank my parents, the academy, those guys over there at AMD and Thermaltake--without you this couldn't be possible--and anyone else who's helped me get where I am today

#

how

modern walrus
#

I managed to get my overclock to 47.5 all core

#

somehow it stayed below 1.3 under load. still dunno how

#

Plus as soon as I finished that run & tried to go again the system crashed lol

clever epoch
#

Ah you did the "cinebench stable" strategy

Congrats though Celebration

clever epoch
modern walrus
#

Thanks. I figured it out the hard way lol

clever epoch
#

It's the same with all motherboards except MSI, who make level 1 with no droop, and every subsequent level has more droop

#

Go to sleep!

modern walrus
#

btw I'm not running the computer on that cinebench stable

#

it was just to put up the benchmark numbers

clever epoch
#

No, you can't lol

modern walrus
#

I'm back to PBO with a core offset lol

clever epoch
#

Yeah that's the way (unless you're actually running cinema4d or blender all the time)

modern walrus
#

I'll never get all-core 5ghz+ so I'll never see that on 1-2 core use so gotta go with PBO

clever epoch
modern walrus

That seems like so much more of a headache than it's worth

A 20l dewar is $500 on average

modern walrus

which is about 59 liters

Maybe medical grade is but not lower grade

#

Well there's your problem

modern walrus
#

lol but Amazon will deliver it for free with prime

#

so that offsets a bit of the cost I imagine

#

I can't get past 17263 on R23 with the 10900K

#

I'm gonna have to try to get 5.2ghz stable enough to do a run

#

but my voltage at VRVOUT will be looking well past 1.305

#

Since 1.305 is the lowest I can get get 5.1 stable

#

sucks intel doesn't let you do anything but whole numbers

#

No clue how I beat this guy

sudden torrent

He used SS cooling, you'd need something exotic like that

modern walrus

I know but 5.4ghz somehow I outdid him

with whatever SS cooling is

what's SS cooling?

I guess you're just better

modern walrus

lol no for real

I'm curious if he posted a picture, because either he is new at subzero cooling or he meant to hit aio instead of ss

clever epoch
#

Could be clock stretching maybe?

eraser1#4351 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

clever epoch
#

Or he had a bunch of background stuff open

sudden torrent
#

Clock stretching with benchmate on? Not likely

#

Background stuff is possible

#

But that's a rookie move, and goes back to being new

#

Daaaang he's got his memory at 4600 14-14-14-28

modern walrus
#

wish I had that lol

sudden torrent
#

He pushed 1.5v on the test, max temp is zero so checks out for cooling

proven canopy
#

Most of those are cascades though

sudden torrent
#

Aha! Found the problem I think, he limited the OS so it only has 2.1gb memory

proven canopy
#

You have to set a maxmem on b-die somewhere over 1.65v

sudden torrent
#

Yeah but restricting it that much could hurt his score. Might have been worth loosening timings a hair to allow a little more memory.

proven canopy
#

People have bad effi for all kinds of reasons yeah

Just ran r23 to test and yep, cb alone used 2400mb of memory, plus what windows and benchmate were asking for, so he was doing some serious page file thrashing.

How high on the 3d mark rx 570 leaderboards do you think I can get an air-cooled 4gb card

Surely the card in that video was already dead

#

does overclocking my gpus core clock increase its power draw?

clever epoch
#

most likely yes.

#

you want to increase the power limit anyways

short blade
#

it is possible to raise core clock while lowering power draw

#

or keeping it the same

proven canopy
short path
#

overclocking's become pretty mainstream in the last 10 years or so

#

is it just as easy to underclock?

#

reason I ask is because my CPU is just a bit much for my graphics card

#

and I probably wouldn't notice if it was underclocked anyway

sterile flame
#

No real reason to underclock, especially since modern CPUs tend to have enough headroom to hit their rated frequencies at lower than stock voltages anyway

#

Unless it's for thermal reasons, or if your PSU doesn't support high enough power output (in which case 100% just get a new PSU don't leave stuff like that up to chance) underclocking is pointless

short path
#

thanks

sterile flame
#

Another reason to underclock would be if your motherboards power delivery was under powered
For instance, the Asus rampage vi apex did not have enough power delivery for the higher end CPUs of it's socket
But in that case, again, a new motherboard is the only truly safe route to take

#

So again, only for thermal limitations (small/ passively cooled builds) would make sense to underclock
And even then your cpu is gonna do a way better job of underclocking itself than you are anyway

zenith palm
#

I'd rather just undervolt if it was a thermal issue or something

sterile flame
#

True, but if you really wanted an excuse to underclock that's the only reason I can think of to do it lol

#

Or if you really wanted to get to the bottom of 3d marks lists

zenith palm
#

Lol

sterile flame
#

undervolting alone doesn't work on bad bins

Did you stress test it?

oh uh

none

i just put it to 2933

ok well after im done with my class ima see if lowering the oc works

barren ridge

If you could get any card at msrp, what would it be and why

dull ginkgo
#

3060ti is great value

#

3080 is great performance

sterile flame
#

I mean specific cards
I'm curious what people who take overclocking seriously look for in a PCB. Just lots of inductors? Specific voltage controller sku's?

#

Like if you could get any card at msrp, you wouldn't just grab the first 3060ti or 3080 you saw.

dull ginkgo
#

reviews

zenith palm
#

Like the aib msrp or Nvidias?

#

Probs strix or something tho

dull ginkgo
#

tho just looking doesn't give you the full story

#

actual testing helps

sterile flame
#

The trouble with that logic is that if you listen to what buildzoid says, you may as well just get the Galax HOF version
But also according to buildzoid, there is absolutely no reason to go with the Galax HOF card apart from "it's got the best of everything"
But that's way overkill and a pointless waste of money

#

I'm asking what a person like the people who frequent this channel, which are presumably people like myself who like overclocking but who don't have unlimited disposable income, would buy if they could get it at MSRP
I know it's a dumb question and I'm probably phrasing it dumbly, but I'm genuinely curious

#

If you, the person reading this had your card die tomorrow, and we lived in a world where gpu stock was an actual thing, what would you be going to microcenter with the intention of buying

dull ginkgo
#

But well, for the average consumer, any card really works

#

And for 3080, I'd prob just go with bz and grab a strix

#

Good VRMs pretty high PL and iirc has good thermal pads for vram

#

There isn't that much that goes into GPU oc at the end of the day, power delivery, cooling, and that's about it

faint tangle
#

Strix is so expensive, 3080 tis going for like 1900-2100

dull ginkgo

Still on the "if every card is at MSRP" premise

# short blade is that cpu must be above 20c idle

That's mostly to keep the extreme cooling stuff out. There's a couple commands you can run to set it so your processor doesn't let the cores sleep, so it idles a little higher without affecting performance under load.

@dull ginkgo being able to get a card at msrp is not even kind of the same thing as every card being the same price. What?

#

Maybe it'll help if I explain why I'm asking;
A friend of mine is taking steps to start botting trading cards. I know that sounds ridiculous but stuff got real weird in the last year or so. He's been supporting his family after he lost his job at the start of the pandemic by scalping trading cards. So far he's been able to do it in person but recently they started only doing "valuable" card drops online due to people getting violent at the drops (I know, it's crazy. Like literal grown men fist fighting in target parking lots over pokemon cards and stuff)
So these bots are the same ones that people use to get GPUs
Since I'm helping him build his PC out of mostly my spare parts, he said once he had it all up and running that he'd try to use his bots to hook me up with a GPU at retail
I'm already pretty sure I just want to get a white Asus strix 3070, cause it matches my build and I only play at 1440p anyway, but I'm curious what people on here would go for.

I know I know and I'm genuinely sorry that I've been pestering the channel with this for like 2 days now but I specifically wanted to ask the people in this channel who like overclocking what they would get

What about you, rawr? What would you get if you could get anything at MSRP

I think the 3090 FE is a pretty easy answer for that question lol

Or 3090 KP just for the cooler if that's your thing tbh

I'd still rather have the strix

I love how the HOF looks and it OCs VERY well too

Pretty sure hof's one of the few cards that are actually binned

Is Galax one of the ones that doesn't sell in US though?

zenith palm
#

idk why they dont tho shrug

#

i dont know if ive even seen them in the eu but mb im blind

lean minnow
#

Would anyone be able to help me overclock my gpu. I have absolutely no idea how to go about it

sterile flame
#

Download msi afterburner, put voltage, power, and temperature limits all the way to the right, and play with the frequencies @lean minnow

lean minnow
sterile flame
#

Doesn't matter, afterburner will work

#

Increase mhz by 40-60 each time until it crashes, then dial it back a step and increase by smaller increments until it happens again

zenith palm
#

Depends on the gpu, if rtx 30xx then you can do 15mhz

sudden torrent
#

Voltage is the one thing that can actually damage parts. Granted, the manufacturer limits are safe enough for short term, but will probably reduce life long term.

dull ginkgo
#

And heat long term

sterile flame
#

It's fiiiiiiine
Sliders go brrrrr

#

If you're using a recent card the voltage regulation will take care of you so long as you don't max the frequency sliders too

dull ginkgo
#

Sliders doesn't usually do that much

sterile flame
#

There is no version of overclocking that won't degrade your chip faster than stock settings would, apart from just raising frequencies and not touching anything else but youre gonna gain hardly anything from that

dull ginkgo
#

Undervolting tho

#

Like pbo with negative offsets

#

Its just gonna be like stock boosting behavior, except lower voltage than stock

sterile flame
#

Right. But they want to get into overclocking, they're most likely trying to get high 3dmark/unigine numbers, not the same numbers at lower voltage

sterile flame
#

Afterburner voltage slider seems to have little to no effect on my actual voltage under load anyway. It's 1.050 stock, it's 1.050 with the slider maxed and an extra 240mhz core

zenith palm
zenith palm
dull ginkgo
#

Voltage slider usually doesn't do much because v/f curve kinda acts like it's the same curve

zenith palm
#

v/f curve better anyway

sterile flame
#

I don't assume it's the same, I assume if anything the power regulation is more aggressive on newer cards because it is lol

zenith palm
#

mb they have like a 750 ti or something tho shrug you dont know how the older cards act

dull ginkgo
#

I mean like v/f curve will continue to boost like it does, usually doesn't really get affected

#

but yea, older cards might actually do more when you use the slider

sterile flame
#

If it's a 750ti , then it's not your only card
And if it's a 750ti and you have no backup, you shouldn't be overclocking it

#

He isn't getting into overclocking to make his card last longer

zenith palm

Was that person asking you how to overclock the 750ti a week ago

whatever, doesn't really matter, just ask the guy if they want to OC further

zenith palm

lol true

sterile flame
#

@lean minnow what card is it

#

Settle our disagreement for us

lean minnow
#

It’s a rtx 2060 lol

sterile flame
#

See?

#

Lol

#

They're right though, you really shouldn't just dump voltage into it
But short term, like for a bench run, it'll be fine lol

lean minnow
#

I just don’t wanna crash it

dull ginkgo
#

OCing is gonna be bringing you to the limit between crashing and not crashing, that's why you do stress tests to test each oc

sterile flame
#

Then you're not gonna have a very good time finding a stable OC

#

It's gonna crash

dull ginkgo
#

when Ocing

#

crashing is common

#

it's just what happens

#

you just need to stress test it to find what's actually stable

#

or theoretically stable

sterile flame
#

@lean minnow crashing is not as big a deal as you've been trained to think it is

dull ginkgo
#

well, crashing gpu oc with software if you only mess around with frequency, it's just as simple as turning it back on and trying a less aggressive oc

sterile flame
#

Under normal circumstances, yes, crashing bad. But that's when you aren't messing with any settings. When you're playing with overclocks crashing is normal and perfectly fine (within reason)

lean minnow
#

Ok I got it

short blade
#

crashing isn't inherently a big deal

#

my ssd has logged 175 unsafe shutdowns on this pc i built 1.5 months ago

but boy now that it's stable it was worth

#

watching my 5800x 3080 beat fallen's 5900x 3080ti by 15% makes it feel all worth

#

next build I do

#

I'll actually get decent stuff

#

and I might try to OC it

sterile flame
#

What are you running currently?

dull ginkgo
#

horrible bin 3800x

#

on a refurb board

#

with DR hynix cjr

#

with a SSD that has an issue with having around half the rated seq write for some reason

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sterile flame
#

CJR isn't that bad
Are you 100% sure those other issues aren't all caused by the refurbished board...

dull ginkgo
#

Mostly sure

#

Because SSD did do rated seq speeds at the start

#

and there are plenty of other reports on forums of the same issue

#

hypothesis of controller overheating for some reason (it's just phison e12 but eh), led me to buy a m.2 heatsink with no improvement

#

and it's early bin 3800x

#

it was like first few weeks of zen 2, and earlier bins are known to be kinda crappy as heck

#

and well, cjr is cjr, but I just can't get them to do much other than tighten some terts

#

touching basically any primary timing will make it fail tm5

#

anyways

#

just sad things

sterile flame
#

I really know like very very very little about memory OC, I just know CJR is roughly on par with micron rev e and my rev e is pretty good

dull ginkgo
#

uhhhhh

#

djr might be close

#

cjr is sad afaik

sterile flame
#

Oh wait yeah I may be thinking of djr oops

dull ginkgo
#

djr is the one that can do 1.65v

#

cjr is the one that just does 1.45v

sterile flame
#

I got my rev e (3200mhz c16) to 3666 c16 with some awful minor timings
But this was my first ever attempt and I went in blind. I'm lucky I didn't damage anything tbh

dull ginkgo
#

reve is nice

#

stole random tier list, p sure I have 16gb cjr

sterile flame
#

I did see a video recently of buildzoid getting some ridiculous memory speeds out of e die the other day

dull ginkgo
#

buildzoid does buildzoid things

sterile flame
#

Yeah but this wasn't the typical buildzoid "I soldered a second memory controller to the ram chips and now it runs at 2.0v"
It was just some OEM bare green pcb e die that he got to like 4666 or something ridiculous like that

#

Actually I think he doubled the stock speed, so 4266

dull ginkgo
#

that's normal buildzoid

dull ginkgo
short blade
#

DJR is a great choice for intel systems because it can push very high frequencies, less of a good choice for ryzen because it doesn't tighten quite as well at lower frequencies

#

rev. e is great on both, you can push high frequencies or tight timings are lower frequencies

#

CJR is quite a bit worse, still a decent die but definitely not on the same level as rev. e

#

rev. e can do 3800c14 - 4000c14 on ryzen systems pretty consistently

#

CJR you might expect anywhere from 3600c16 - 3800c16

proven canopy
#

DJR isn't cheap enough to justify it over rev.e or b-die imo

#

TBH, anyone who wants performance at 16GB - b-die is the way

#

But I've seen some people tune djr to <40ns aida lol

#

Probably have to go 2 dimm board

short blade
#

i think i got sub 40 on that wack 8700k that wouldn't go above 3200

that was rev. e though

proven canopy
#

6c die though, but still great latency

short blade
#

ah nvm it was 40.7

#

if only the imc wasn't so shot i probably could have done better

#

had to max out the vccsa/vccio for 3200

#

i just got a 10600K on hand that i know for a fact has never been overclocked, would probably try to tune some rev. e on it for fun if classes didn't just start lol

#

Ryzen 5600G is cheaper than 5600x?
Guessing that's the reason I've been seeing so many new 5600G scores and memory scores on 5600G

sudden torrent
#

5600G is the one that has the integrated GPU, but less cache so gaming performance is a little lower. More comparable to the 3600X in gaming.

#

It should only be used in small form factor builds, or if you are unable to use a PC until you get a discrete GPU.

sterile flame
#

I wasn't asking what a 5600G is. I know what it is.
It shouldn't be used "only in sff builds" Vermeer APUs are really good for memory overclocking

sudden torrent
#

Sure. Given proper tuning it can be a fairly competent low end GPU. But it's just that. Low end.

sterile flame
#

I'm not talking about the igpu, I'm talking about the memory controller

sudden torrent
#

Why would you buy an APU if you weren't going to use the GPU? I get the memory controller and all but that's an edge case that applies to very few people.

#

It's not worth sacrificing half your cache for something you'll not use

orchid flame
#

nanya has been consistent

#

they havent gotten bigger or smaller
their sales have been proportional to total market

so yeah
Nanya wasnt really popular for DDR3

Voltage scales up to 1.35v and if you're lucky you could get it to 3200 c14, but c16 is still good. You can try to tighten the other primaries if c14 fails.

Make sure if you mess with memory speed it stays coupled to fclk.
Generally speaking it will, but I've heard ASRock bios likes to revert settings on you if you don't do things in a certain order and I don't know much about gigabyte bios other than they can be pretty non user friendly

This time, if you want to overclock your cpu, either watch a guide to overclocking Ryzen 2000 or use Ryzen master

#

Okay

#

I have ryzen master but i didnt know that

#

Ryzen master will keep you from killing your cpu, which you very well could have done if you'd decided to input, say, 4500mhz rather than 4200mhz on the core just now

#

Use Ryzen master, keep voltage at 1.225v, and aim much lower than 4.2ghz

#

And in the meantime watch some guide videos

sudden torrent
#

Probably don't jump right to that though

sterile flame
#

All I know is that he just ran zen+ at 4.2ghz with all other settings on auto
I don't know zen+ voltages, but I'm familiar with the frequencies and I figured better safe than sorry

#

Especially on a b450 vrm

sudden torrent
#

Yeah you should still get decent results around the 1.2-1.3v range. You need high performance cooling to go past that, at least a good 360mm AIO.

#

You could get 4.1 GHz at 1.35v but work your way up to that. Voltage CAN kill it in the wrong circumstances.

tepid stratus
#

Those are some interesting numbers

#

I have a looped build doing 4.2ghz all core at sub 1.1v

#

completely stable and gets around high 27k/low 28k on r23

Ok? The part you didn't mention is what cpu

#

That's easy on a newer one, but a 2700X? Not possible.

#

he just wants to flex his 5950x lol

sudden torrent
#

Yeah probably lol

tall pelican
#

ehhhh 4.2 at 1.1v could be possible with a 2700x, mine did 4.35 at 1.28v

sudden torrent

#

just need to change the timers LeoKek

short blade
#

custom looping a 5950x just to cripple it at 1.1v

#

😔

#

weirdest flex ever

sudden torrent
#

I feel it was probably more of a "oh you need 1.35v to get 4.1ghz? Well I get 4.2 so nyeh"

sterile flame
#

@tall pelican lol right
My 3600 non x gets nearly half that score on six cores and an older architecture

#

@tepid stratus run prime 95 small FFTs with that 4.2ghz at 1.1 oc before you say it's stable
Adversely, if you're just running that oc profile on Ryzen master then it isn't applying at startup, so just cause you made the OC profile doesn't mean that's what your cpu is really running at.

#

1.1v 4.2ghz isn't impossible for zen 3, but ehhhh

tepid stratus
#

everything is hard applied via bios or ai suite (which does the same except in windows instead of needing to reboot every 3 sec)

sterile flame
#

And prime 95 small FFTs didn't crash?

tepid stratus
#

will run it now

#

it didn't have any issues running 30min straight of r23 mt

#

it's a zen3

#

so it's not that out of the ordinary though

sterile flame
#

Be prepared for a crash
Your cpu can theoretically do it, but prime 95 small FFTs (Well actually smallest, but don't try that) is the most intensive synthetic workload I can think of. It will stress your cpu a lot more than regular use would

tepid stratus
#

only instances of crash on my rig so far have been from gpu tweaks

#

and nothing else

sterile flame
#

What have you been using to stress test

tepid stratus
#

lol why is chrome blocking prime95

#

that's hilarious

sterile flame
#

Or have you just been validating the OC on cinebench

tepid stratus
#

aida and cinebench

#

for oc validation

#

followed by 3dmark for gpu bench

#

since that's all it was intended for

sterile flame
#

If you watch your cpu power, cinebench will pull more current than the Aida stress test will
Prime 95 will pull even more than that

tepid stratus
#

it stays under 150w power draw

#

which is crap ton less than my usual oc setting for 3dmark which will hit 240+w power draw

sterile flame
#

What's pulling 150w?

tepid stratus
#

Cpu

#

5950x

sterile flame
#

3dmark should not be boosting your cpu to 240w+ unless it's the cpu test

#

Also, 3d mark is just a test suite, which test are you actually running

tepid stratus
#

i think i've seen peaks around 180/190w on the high oc settings

#

it scores around 17k+ cpu even with smt on for 3dmark

#

r23 is hair over 31k at that setting

sterile flame
#

Which 3dmark test though. There's like 16 of them

tepid stratus
#

timespy

#

you don't get a cpu scores with port royal

sterile flame
#

Oh, ok. Yeah it gives you a CPU score, but there are tests in the 3d mark suite specifically for testing CPU. Timespy is a GPU test, so your cpu is gonna pull less current during timespy than it does during cinebench/ other CPU benchmarks

#

I thought you were saying your cpu was pulling 250w on a graphics test and I was like uhhhhhh that's not normal at all lmao

tepid stratus
#

again i set up the cpu oc for the 3dmark test

#

since there is quite a bit of a boost from the cpu score in the overall score for timespy

#

now just cruising around in normal day to day setup which is 4.2ghz all core at hair under 1.1v

#

it's technically set to 1.1v

sterile flame
#

So is it "completely stable"
Or just stable enough for timespy

tepid stratus
#

but usually see tiny bit under that even on load

#

250w power load?

#

i wouldn't say it's 100% stable

#

i think it gets dicey when the ram gets warm more so than cpu

#

b-dies are tiny bit too temp sensitive

sterile flame
#

You "wouldnt"
But you did lol

tepid stratus
#

4.2ghz = sub 150w load

#

that's stable

#

4.6x all core = 250w power load

#

that's somewhat questionable on longer loads

#

sorry typo on the power load

sterile flame
#

Ok now I'm really curious
Run prime 95 small FFTs and let us know if it crashes or not

tepid stratus
#

i will give it shot after i finish the fan swaps on the unicorn build

tall pelican
tepid stratus
#

higher OC results in orange and 27.9k number in the middle for daily

#

with the higher oc setting, it can run most of the 10min test but it will app crash eventually once the ram gets warm

tall pelican
tepid stratus
tall pelican
#

Not cpu score

tepid stratus
#

supposedly it does for cpu score on 5950x

tall pelican
#

I can tell you that it doesn't

#

Smt off helps gpu scores

tepid stratus
#

that's because you have less than the number of thread it tests if you turn smt off

tall pelican
#

Smt off hurts cpu scores

tepid stratus
#

only if you have less cores than the thread it uses

tall pelican
#

Ts uses 50+ threads

#

FS has the 16 or 18 thread limit

sterile flame
#

big oof

tall pelican
#

Iirc 3175x and 3970x are the highest cpu score cpus for ts, 3990x hits the limit

tepid stratus
#

Hey like i was saying before, i've been told by those who have hit higher scores that in timespy for 5950x, you gain a bit of score with the smt turned off

#

I haven't run timespy with SMT off to confirm

#

but the gains with it off compared to with it on are supposedly pretty decent

#

maybe there is a bit more oc headroom with the smt turned off who knows

tall pelican
#

yeah, gpu score gains, because gpu is about 3x more impactful to overall score than cpu

Gtx 1650

#

if i add more core overclock it’s unstable

sudden torrent
#

Well, you could try a different vbios with a higher power limit (and the same power inputs), increase your core voltage, or hard mod the card

sterile flame
#

Will increasing core voltage potentially damage anything if done incorrectly

sudden torrent
#

vbios is set so damage is unlikely but it will degrade faster

#

As long as you can cool it, because it will get hotter

sterile flame
#

What’s vbioskek

sudden torrent
#

Flashing a vbios from another GPU alters its behavior and limits

clever epoch

there are some vBIOSes with effectively removed limits, although those are hard to come by (accidentally) for modern cards.

Also, what do you mean sub properly? Cause Ive submitted two scores so far and I'm definitely doing it wrong lol

Link them. I mean, just check the rules link for every benchmark. Also, very easy to look at the top subs and see how the pros do it

sterile flame
#

I know and I've been looking around trying to see what I gotta do to assimilate properly but you can't edit your rig details after you submit the score
Which makes perfect sense so people aren't lying about their setups, but yeah, imo these scores are basically worthless cause it just has my CPU, GPU, frequencies, and score

And ram, but still

Yeah I know that now. I'm running the benchmarks again so I can get proper verification

#

Gonna delete the others

#

My bad, sorry

so like this, then?

sudden torrent
#

SPD, not Mainboard

#

You'll need to select a slot that has memory in it probably

sterile flame
#

The rules say I only need cpuz tabs for CPU and memory, and the example it shows in the rules has cpu, memory, and mainboard

short blade
#

i've never needed to show SPD

#

none of my hundreds of subs have it and none have been removed

good enough

proven canopy

You only need to show spd during comps when explicitly stated.

sudden torrent
#

Yeah it's not always needed but I do it out of habit

sterile flame
#

Can I retake the screenshot I already have of my high score on firestrike extreme with the cpuz tabs open and get it verified or do I have to straight up run the benchmark again

sudden torrent
#

That way I don't forget to have SPD open when I actually need it

#

You can just open your saved score with the cpu-z open

#

For those tests make sure you include your verified 3dmark result page

proven canopy
#

You probably don't need to delete any subs, just make sure future ones follow the rules

Users can't delete subs, need to bother a mod to do it

i think we used to be able to delete subs?

sterile flame

Ok good, cause for the life of me I cannot match my top score on firestrike extreme

i made some subs through benchmate where the built in screenshot glitched out

#

spent a while trying to figure out how to delete it

sudden torrent
#

Ah yes, the anomaly score that is 100 points higher than we can ever get again... we've all had that

sterile flame
#

I'm glad it's not just me
Cause this was a used mining gpu and the memory doesn't clock nearly as high as it should, so I was starting to worry it had literally just degraded since I got the score

#

🥳

proven canopy

As long as your botched sub isn't a glod or front page score, it's really nbd, especially if you beat it later

mining shouldn't degrade the vram

dull ginkgo

Unless they did dumb things to it

Actually I don't even know if the memory should clock higher, it's hard to find info. I just know that when I try to go over +160 memory speed it artifacts real hard, and over 170 it bsods

which card?

Not unless it ran too hot, like over 100 on GDDR5/5X/6 or 110 on 6X

got a 3070 Ti for a flip that would do +1450 rock solid

#

unbelievable levels of salt

1080fe
There are 1080 scores on firestrike with mem +400 and higher. Could be in ln2, when I was looking I was only checking against 3dmarks scores, not HWbot.

short blade
#

was wishing i could swap out those chips

#

i think i ran +700 on my old 1080ti

sterile flame
#

Right, that's what I'm saying. 160 should not be the upper limit

sudden torrent
#

It really could just be a bad bin, or factory overclocked already

sterile flame
#

1080fe, at least the zotac version, doesn't have temp sensors on the memory so I have no clue if it's a thermal issue or just crappy memory

#

I don't see how it could be a thermal issue, I have it watercooled. I can't see memory temps, but core temp never goes over 50° so I can't imagine the memory is running much hotter

#

although
It isn't real water cooling, it's an aio and a kraken g12

sudden torrent
#

Do you have anything blowing over the rest of the card? Because other parts besides the core can get hot

sterile flame
#

Yeah, the g12 bracket is kind of like the EVGA hybrid cooler, only universal. It has a 92mm fan for vram and VRM cooling
I saw a video where dude used a g12 bracket on his 2080ti FE and it brought the vram temps down by around 15°c, so my memory should be running cooler now than it was on the stock blower cooler

#

Is it an early sample 3080?

short blade
#

possible you really just lost the lottery

#

ehh

#

december 2020

sterile flame
#

I know they were having trouble cooling gddr6x when the cards first came out

short blade
#

I changed the pads

#

82c mem junction

#

was instantly slamming into 110c and thermal throttling with stock pads

#

even at 100% fan speed

sterile flame
#

Way to go, nvidia

short blade
#

runs at 70c now if I set 100% fan speed

#

I run 70% now cause 70% is quiet

sudden torrent
#

That's not an Nvidia problem, that's cheap manufacturers trying to save a few cents

dull ginkgo
#

or, bleach just gets low bins because deus vult

short blade
#

literally more than a 40c drop if we consider it had to throttle to stay at 110c

short blade
dull ginkgo
#

maybe you got unlucky with a manufacturing defect

sterile flame
#

I also have an rx 570 4GB that I replaced the thermal interface on with the intention of selling it
But I decided to keep it cause I think it would be really good for overclocking.

short blade
#

when my 3080 started malfunctioning and I sent it in for RMA I was really hoping they would replace it but they didn't

short blade
dull ginkgo
#

Someone got a finger of a rubber glove on their memory on the 3090 FE

short blade
#

110c vram is normal on most unmodded 3080s

sterile flame
#

@dull ginkgo was it in the memory? I thought it was literally pasted in atop the die

short blade
#

I tore it open twice if there was a glove there I would've noticed man

dull ginkgo
#

on the die

#

but yea

#

I mean on the memory die

#

but yea

#

not inside the casing

sterile flame
#

But yeah, I kinda want to put the g12 bracket on my rx 570 cause I think I could farm a lot of points with it, but that's a lot of work and I am real REAL lazy

#

According to user benchmark (lol) it performed in the 87th percentile of rx 570s (which includes 8GB model rx 570s)
That was about a year ago though, back before I knew user benchmark was an unreliable POS. It should still theoretically be accurate though, considering it was only being compared to other rx 570s

sterile flame
#

I know, I know
But imo as long as youre comparing AMD to AMD it should be relatively accurate.

#

Also, apparently I submitted but never saved my actual top score on firestrike
How incredibly frustrating

proven canopy
#

Different cards have different stock and boost clocks, when comparing - state the true core clock vs +150 etc

sterile flame
#

I didn't consider that
However
Iirc correctly the gpu fan didn't even kick on during the benchmark, meaning it stayed below 55° the whole time
So maybe I can get way more out of the core clock than it runs at stock

sterile flame
#

Ok so for the different competitions it says I need to make at least three submissions
Is that three submissions with the same settings or can you submit three separate results with different settings

sterile flame
#

I brought my memory speed down and got a higher score on firestrike.
It wasnt that high to begin with (+120 to +100)
My memory's gotta be shot

short blade
#

seeing higher scores from bringing down memory speed isn't necessarily abnormal

proven canopy
#

Yeah, you'll see performance regression due to ecc before crashing or artifacts sometimes

short blade
#

that and also lowering memory speed can sometimes free up power budget for core

#

I've seen core go up by an observable amount from lowering memory speed before in power constrained situations

#

not huge but something

#

my 1080ti did +1000 stable but had optimal performance at +700, just gotta test it

#

sadly I don't have any 1080 runs to compare scores with you

sudden torrent
#

That's why we test in increments

short blade
#

lol I start going up in increments of +500

#

once it crashes or fails I start finetuning from there

#

if it passes +500 and fails +1000 I take binary search and go +750

#

once it's stable I'll go down in increments of 25 and see if I'm gaining or losing performance

#

then increments of 5 for final tuning

sterile flame
#

@short blade ooooh yeah that would make a lot of sense considering the cards power delivery is p small compared to what it pulls at stock settings

#

Iirc it's got 5 50a phases for the core and 1 for the memory which I don't remember the amperage
Which is not very much for a card that will pull 200w at stock settings

#

I like your funny words magic man

fair junco
#

help funny magic people

#

i have an amd gpu

#

and i need help for overclock and to mine crypto with salad :)

fair junco
sudden torrent
#

There's guides in the pins

#

And other good resources

grand socket
#

im ready to oc my 3090

sudden torrent
#

Good luck. Hope your power supply is up to it.

grand socket
#

so i have my 3090 set at stock clocks and i have a 1000w psu

sudden torrent
#

Which 1000W?

grand socket
#

seasonic focus gx1000 80+ gold

#

the good seasonic not the bad one

sudden torrent
#

Yeah that's the A tier one, good

grand socket
#

but how much should i add to my core clock for a better time spy score

sudden torrent
#

First order of business is to max out your power limit, then test again with everything else stock

grand socket
#

max power limit is set to 110%

sudden torrent
#

Good, I'd say go up in increments of 90 on the core (boost bins are increments of 15) until it can't pass a run on time spy, then drop it down until it's stable again

grand socket
#

alright ill try

sudden torrent
#

You can do the same with memory but start at around +1000, many 3090s can do that if not better. Mine is a crappy model and it does +1280.

grand socket
#

ok just the core clock helped a bit

#

I was close to hitting over 20k on gpu score alone

#

My cpu scrapes around 5k but im not worried about that as much

sudden torrent
#

Most 3090s can do over 20k easy
Memory will push you over the top

grand socket
#

Ohhh ok yeah im testing the gpu again now with +1000 memory

#

Oops.. Doing 180 extra core and 2000 mem if def limit lol

faint tangle
#

I think 175 on core

#

But I think 3090s overclock much better

#

Diff gpus ofc

sudden torrent
#

+2000 is going to be REALLY hard even for the best bins

faint tangle
#

^^

grand socket
#

Yeah i noticed

sudden torrent
#

+1500 isn't unheard of

faint tangle
#

Maybe if you liquid cooled with liquid nitrogen or smthn

grand socket
#

At least i found what not to do

faint tangle
#

I know some people do that for overclocking scores

#

Also

#

What cpu do you have to get 5k?

#

I get over 7000 with a 3600

grand socket
#

11600k

faint tangle
#

Wait im blind

#

That's weird

grand socket
#

But im not overclocking

#

It peaks at 4.9ghz

faint tangle
#

No yeah on stock I get over 7k

grand socket
#

Also my ram is not xmp at 2666mhz with 16gb

faint tangle
#

Oh wait you have stuff open other than timespy

grand socket
#

Discord and voice mod

faint tangle
#

Yeah thats definitely not right

#

I dont think the ram would limit it that much

#

Also why such cheap ram with a 3090 build lol

lavish tundra
grand socket
#

Yeah but too unstable for some reason

faint tangle
#

What's the cl?

grand socket
#

I had to disbale it

lavish tundra
#

link the ram you bought

grand socket
#

I have Crucial ballistix (2x8gb) 3200mhz CL16
