Yeah what do you mean by unstable?
That caused my issues with xmp
I blue screen with the not equal or less to error
That's probably a bad kit of memory if it only happens when you enable XMP
If it can't do XMP you need to RMA it
Rip
Yeah also I would do 32gb with a 3090
No reason not to if you're spending that much on your pc
And the ram is also probably the reason your 11600k is performing so badly
rma isnt buying a new kit
My awesome 16gb b-die kit says otherwise
its sending it back and getting a replacement
I dont wanna deal with the rma process ill be fine for now
If you're spending a minimum of 1600 on a gpu I think you can afford an extra 90$ for ram :p
u wait too long and the warranty period ends
shut
Unless lifetime warranty like g.skill
Ill just get a new set later on cause im gonna max out my ram with 128gb
true true
And its lifetime warranty i have
Rendering
3d modeling with high textures
That's more vram than system memory
so having only 16gb bad because he couuld spend more on getting more ram since he spent 1600 on gpu but when he says ok and adds more ram u say why?
Now if you were doing something like 8k video editing, 64gb might be worth it
yeh wouldnt buy more than 64
Ok
First off, it was a simple God damn question. I asked what he does. Because 128gb is overkill for most people
Noted
Anything over 64gb is going to put more stress on the memory controller and reduce the max possible speed
you can do it without giving conflicting opinions
And i might do a server for a minecraft server running 2048x textures
I would go 2x32gb over 4x16gb
Ok ill do that
Could a motherboard issue also give that problem like physical damage to it? I havnt damaged it but there could be something idk that might be wrong with it
nah
It's possible but the damage would have to be in a specific area
if mobo damaged you would have trouble running ram at all not just xmp
or rather some slots would have issues
Socket? Possibly
Like cpu socket
So here in a few seconds with 180 core extra and 1200 mem extra my score will be said
Okay main score is 16226 but gpu is 20600 and cpu is 7366
Alright now going to test 270 extra core and 1300 mem
Nice! That's a pretty solid overclock so far
Ok 270 core and 1300 is too much
Try 240 core
Just crashed
Artifacts are memory related, crashing is core
Ok about to test 240 core 1300mem
Im already happy i beat 20k on gpu
Ok running tests now
The fans are going hard ngl
Oof test failed on second gpu test but ima try again
Drop it to 225
No problem, if it crashes at all though it's not stable enough for gaming
Eh i wasnt going to over clock for gaming just finding limits of gpu maimly
It might pass the benchmark if you run it a few times but that's only good for finding how high the score can go
Give it a few minutes to cool off between for the best chance at passing
Ok cpu test running now
Gpu survived
After all test im resetting gpu clocks back to stock
You might get more out of the memory still if you passed the bench
Oof gpu didnt do as good but i hit 20k+ so im happy
Ill run more tomorrow when system isnt warm
Probably lower due to extra heat, causing lower boost bins
A fun trick I know is slap a baggie full of ice water onto the backplate over the core
You can put a paper towel between if water makes you nervous
That sounds like a great way to damage the card with condensation
Ill be fine lol thx tho for the help
That's what the towel is for. I'm assuming it has a solid backplate and not an exposed pcb.
That's low tbh, GDDR6X can go up to 110
It was repadded
Perfect
My cpu max was 59.63°C
Under 100% load
This cooling is fantastic imo
Ok i set core 225 and will test after letting gpu cool down a good bit
I also never changed fan curve either
Im using zotac firestorm to oc gpu
And so far im impressed
I used afterburner on my 1660 ventus XS
Wooo 20672 on gpu and 7450 on cpu
Nice
Oh wow cpu scores improved a decent bit
That's not far off what they should be
Yeah well about to run 225 core and 1400mem
Gl
Idk what average 3090 gpu is
You can check them at a website
I forget where to find it
I think there's a button "compare results"?
Oh ok
The best overall combo score for my setup is is 19k
Thats cpu and gpu score
Check single score for gpu
Gpu average is 19970 and my score is 20686 woooo
Yeah so ram is effecting cpu score other than that im happier than a seal getting a whole bucket of fish to itself
3090s are really only barely breaking 20k?
Yeah
that sounds very low
Well most are running 26763 with sli
Im running 20686 just with a singular gpu
Im proud honestly
https://www.3dmark.com/spy/16906392 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/57714025 21 and 22k graphics with 3090s
man, this is making me realize just how nuts 6900xts are
oh forks, I should be getting a 5950x soon™️
coworker today was like "so why do you have all of this insane hardware, just for points on a website?"
me: yeah pretty much
Lol
big number make feelies warm
Lol, I'm half tempted to buy midnight's 11900k
Cheaper than retail, better than average sp
I'd probably look into it, but am4 has been nicer to me than lga 1200
I've really enjoyed benching comet lake on m12a so far - OGS's thread basically covers all the info you need
3dmark keeps crashing, but not during benchmarks
No crash report, the window just disappears
Usually happens in-between benchmarks, when I'm trying to upload scores
When I try to open the test suite again, it tells me it's already open, though it isn't in task manager or anything
The only thing I can do is reboot so I can open the program again, which is really annoying when I'm just trying to run benchmarks and upload scores to HWbot.
Anyone else have this problem or know of a solution?
running through steam?
Yeah. Figures that would be the issue
yeah
let me dig up the standalone link
Download 3DMark for Windows - 3DMark is a benchmark designed to measure the performance of computer hardware. This version includes three different tests, each designed for a specific type of hardware ranging fr...
get the keys from the steam version, then upload them into the standalone
Thank you, you're a godsend. It was making me not even want to keep going, until I saw I'm right behind falcie in team standings for the month 
np
I need to find out why I lost ~100 team points, but I think its from some sub no longer being worth points or something
GPUZ has no version restrictions, right?
It may depend on the specific benchmark, but I haven't seen one that specifies a version
Cpuz, on the other hand....
Hey, I've got another question while the channels somewhat active
I'm trying to participate in a competition on HWbot. The rules say I have to make at least three submissions. Is that three submissions at identical settings, or can it just be three separate submissions
You can change settings.
Ok. That makes more sense to me, but I thought maybe it wanted three subs with identical settings to prove it's a stable OC or something
Never seen any rules like that.
all 3 subs just have to be on the same platform
or wait no, ^^^ is for corsair comp, team cup is different
need 3 people to make different subs for the same category to get an overall score
Oooooh
Has anybody else done it? It's for the firestrike comp. I think mines submitted, unless someone has to upload all three at once or something idk how any of this works yet
Judging by the hardware I've seen in the team rankings I'm p sure I'd get bumped off the scores if a fourth person submits lol
I see we have 84 points, and I know 48 is from me 
I want to say its just one other sub?
Aren't you running a 30 series card?
6900xt
I have a 3060 in the system, I could probably do a sub with it, but it'll be pcie neutered
This link is the timespy leaderboard. I'm talking about firestrike
Ohhhh
if it were amd side, nvidia would be irrelevant
mllr on an ln2 3090 kp got 52k graphics
https://hwbot.org/submission/4675118_fitvelkiz_3dmark___fire_strike_radeon_rx_6900_xt_45478_marks 6900xt on water getting 68k graphics
Hmmmmmm
Wouldn't let me validate my score.
Probably still on trial version, I never input a key
Duh, I'm an idiot
https://www.3dmark.com/fs/26131357 shows valid
wait nvm
idek where that came from
https://www.3dmark.com/fs/26132983 you good
Yeah that's the one from earlier though. I just got a 20779 on the same settings, but it won't let me validate
got internet?
Yeah. I saved the result. I think I just need to activate the license.
post the 3dmark link here
I can't, when I clicked compare online it said the result couldn't be displayed as it hadn't been validated. Hold on, I'm running the CPU max threads one to see if I can validate that one, cause I haven't uploaded a score for it yet
might need to update 3dmark
Yeah the cpu one let me upload it. What the heck
whack
I loaded it again and now it validated.
Whatever, at least I can upload it now
If somebody could explain how to validate unigine heaven benchmarks to me it'd be appreciated
Really I just need to see the screenshot you upload
Superpos + gpuz + cpuz cpu + cpuz mem
Same as any other bench, did you look at the rules page or top subs?
Yes I did
The trouble is I was half asleep when I asked and didn't figure out that if I don't download unigine straight from hwbot I can't validate it.
It seems rather obvious now, but at the time I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to keep the score without having the test continue to run in the background
Pretty dumb, eh?
I have returned with new clocks and mem clock speeds
235 core and 1375 mem with gpu score of 20857
And will now test with 1400
Why aren't any achievements unlocking for me on hwbot
@finite frigate is there more to overclocking i’m not doing or is it just stress testing core and memory
@sterile flame that doesn't look like memory artifacting
might just be something weird with that software
I dont even see anything wrong
Oh now I do
Yeah that's not what artifacting normally looks like
It only happens on hwinfo graphs
i left my oc as is since no other programs had issues
Do HWbot achievements like
Update at a certain interval or something
Cause I qualify for a few and I haven't gotten any
Like, not even "make your first HWbot submission"
I have close to 30 submissions at this point, at the very least I should have that one
Oh man, I was hoping to earn shiny badges to motivate me to do a gpu swap for more scores
Only time it gave me any awards was after a competition
Im still not even sure as to whether I participated correctly in the competition I entered
||and I've done about as much as I can safely do with my current setup and I'm really really dreading swapping my rx 570 back into my rig||
But whatever. I'm #8 in the rookie league rn. I can probably take 7th, but Im not gonna get much higher than that without buying more components to bench or learning to OC memory

#8 rookie is pretty great - I think you've got 3 months of rookie from account creation.
Any chilled water or colder submission will automatically put you into apprentice league.
Probably
Nah, chilled water is apprentice
Even rad in ice bucket
wait, cascade is apprentice?
It can't finish cinebench r23 at 4.4ghz 1.2v anymore
Although it was pretty warm when I was testing yesterday, so ig it could just be because of ambient temps
Makes me want to just overvolt the heck out of it and try for the top frequency spot for ambient 3600s
Not worth it tbh
who is this btw https://hwbot.org/user/camspr/
Hey, you have your crucial memory running at 3200
Also what's the cooling on your 1080
Possibly looks like @sterile flame
My 1080 has a g12 bracket with a 360mm aio
And yes, I havent really looked into memory overclocking yet so I haven't tried messing with it. I'm still very new to this
Ah, nice. Yeah, nice clocks
1080?
RUN MEMORY OC'S ON A DIFFERENT OS
No no no what
Unless you want big rip
Half the info on my submission is incorrect
Thanks. I'm not even sure if I'm recording frequencies correctly. Usually I just input the highest frequency hit according to 3dmark/ aida64, which is usually like 200mhz higher than what gpuz says I hit
???!!
Shows 1650 and 9400 for me
Yeah that’s right
Yeah, just buy some $20 ssd's for all benching tbh. Then use something like macrium reflect to burn images to those drives. Takes about 90 seconds
Ram should be 2666
You don't need to type in any of those tbh - but it's helpful for the database
Think so, think forks was talking bout werewolf
should i have put the actual clock speed or my overclock
Ohhh
Lol
I know that's why I do it. But I'm not even sure if what I input was accurate cause i have three pieces of software telling me two different things
Me
Apparently 2138 on a 1080FE is pretty good, though.
But I can't overclock the vram to save my life
@proven canopy if I made a second windows install just for benchmarking, would using a mechanical HDD effect my actual benchmarking scores?
no
But if you do that, pull your main drive
Wdym by pull main drive?
Like don't have it in the system, Id assume
Are ln2 pots actually several thousand dollars or am I looking in the wrong place
Afaik they're in the hundreds range
like this
Definitely looking in the wrong place then
Cheapest I saw was like 1100
Oh wow ok these seem a lot more reasonable
Doubt you would get much value out of it on a 3600 tho
this with stock cooler?
@cold jolt no, 360mm aio and nzxt g12 bracket
@zenith palm and I know, that's not the plan. I want to start buying cheap old hardware on Facebook marketplace and stuff and using them to farm points
@cold jolt lol that's cool
This card is 6 years old and spent 5 of them in a mining rig though
Fair enough
@cold jolt fiancees cousin's rig
nice
You can get them used in the US for about half price of new
@restive cargo Put yours to use!
Use pbo and clock tuner for the 5600x, for the gpu, use Radeon software or msi afterburner and 3d mark demo on steam(timespy) and start by bring power as much as it goes, then start increasing the core by 50mhz then memory, start at 500mhz and up in 100s til crash then drop 50s
Does the pbo frequency offset thingy actually work on zen 3
Ye
Does it still cap at only 200mhz
Nvm, dumb question. Same bios

Part of me wants to go zen 3
But the rest of me thinks I should just use my zen 2 for a daily and start buying used junk to overclock for points
I'm sure I could farm at least as many points on an old gpu as I could on a new CPU
Maybe more, since I wouldn't be afraid of breaking it
I’ve been OCing my 6800xt for a bit now and basically just use Radeon software and bring up mem and core clock by increments of 50 using timespy to check it
Oh ok
it goes away when i change my overclock
but sometimes when i set everything back to 0 it will still be there
Sounds like an issue with the monitor
Not a dead pixel, just a dying one
Change display resolution and see if that fixes it
Ig it could be an issue with your display cable also
But tbh it doesn't really seem like the gpu is causing the issue
It's a stuck pixel not a dead one. Just tap it lightly for awhile and/or use fullscreen youtube videos that rapidly flash different colors. That forces the pixel out of the stuck state sometimes.
Repair stuck pixels using the JScreenFix algorithm.
Yes that's perfect.
I've never had that utility work for me, but can't hurt to try
Run that when you go to bed. Leave the PC/Monitor on. If it hasn't gotten unstuck by the time you wake up then see if a RMA is possible.
If it's just a dead subpixel, especially in red/blue, probably won't notice it
its worked once for me before, but it wasnt on a monitor that came bnib with a stuck pixel
brain is off for today after waiting outside best buy all night
Did you get a gpu?
yeh
Which one?
3080 fe
Sassy got it from the last BB in-store drop afaik
Wait wth am I losing my mind
Why did I think he said microcenter and not best buy
It's literally right there, what did I forget how to read?
Jeeze man
@zenith palm do you have the link to compare benchmarks on time spy?
https://www.3dmark.com/ then go to results
Ty
np
12770 with 150 core 1100 mem, factory 100 oc on core I believe
104 power limit and 100 on fans to make sure its cool
Might open the case and point a fan right at the gpu just for fun lol
Crashed when I added 25 on mem
No artifacting oddly enough
Crash at 175 core 
How much extra performance would i get out of using MPT on my 6800xt?
and is it worth the risks?
Who's ocopium? Fix your subs
bought a cheap 3000 16-20-20-38 kit
reporting as hynix cjr
wonder if it'll have oc headroom
very possible that the cheap z170 board will be a limiting factor especially regarding frequency
3333 is the highest I can post
corsair
currently running 3200 15-19-19-39 1.4v
seems like there's no voltage scaling above that, haven't tested below 1.4v yet but I tested 1.45v and got no benefit
can't do 3333c15 or 3200c14
Corsair

@short blade might have the same model as my old 8gb stick, 3000cl16, in bros pc now, oc'd to 3200 with xmp settings cuz lazy
Although think my version was still c die
Whoa got a good beginners guide to the process of memory overclocking
Have you seen the integral guide
No I'm completely new to memory overclocking. Figured I'd just watch a buildzoid video but half the time he keeps his desktop display so small you can't see what he's doing, or he does the usual buildzoid format of testing off camera and then only doing settings he knows will work in the video

Buy a cheapo ssd and image it with macrium reflect or similar, use that for overclocking in general
Kinda think it may be a huge mistake to overclock my memory anyway since I don't have a bios reset or anything and I can't even get to my cmos battery without taking my whole rig apart
Asus tuf b450 plus gaming
Not that I know of
Or battery under gpu probs
No yeah I know where it is, it just isn't accessible without taking components out
Got a capture card and a GPU and a GPU bracket in the way
And since my gpu is watercooled it's a huge pain
Which is why I still haven't done any Rx 570 scores
You still got 74 hardware points with a daily, not bad
Use this for easy reset https://www.amazon.com/Warmstor-3-Pack-Desktop-Button-Computer/dp/B072FMVZJZ
Fancy
Stick it through a pcie bracket or something?
I think fitz does something like that
Handy
Yeah it is handy, i made something like that in my attempt at a caseless pc
so like
i didn't expect tWTRS -3 to post, but here we are
i wonder how low it will go
can someone help me understand how a negative timing even works? i can't wrap my head around it conceptually
Just ran Blender BMW & Classroom on my stock i5 6600k, temps stayed below 50. Should I try overclocking to get some more power out of it? Is blender a good benchmark for stability?
blender can be used for stability but is mostly a measure of performance
aida64 extreme
occt. occt
those are some good stability tests imo
geekbench is also pretty good
as long as your temps stay below 60-70c you will be fine
even 80c is "fine" but try to stay below 70
Prime95 small ffts best
^
Alright, perhaps I'll run all of these once after each increase. 🙂
No real point. Maybe do it that way the first time, take note of which has the highest temperature, and moving forward just check the one that was the highest
@sterile flame so I’ve increased the volts in my bios, task manager says 3.9ghz speed, but as soon as I start prime95; cpu usage hits 100% but the speed drops to 3.57ghz. Highest temp in 20 minutes is 67.
Is there a reason the speed drops under load?
Thank you to you both!! 20 min into prime95 and 68-70 temps.
Work in progress gtx 770 voltage mod https://i.imgur.com/p7kIX0S.jpeg
that solder job looks good
1 that looks about right , 2 cpu z is a meh bench
Cinebench r23 would probs be better if you're looking for a comparison score
Also you could just have a meh bin of a cpu
@sterile flame did you just build this computer
And if you did, did you make sure to enable XMP and PBO in bios
Cause if not, that's why your scores low
And are you running the stock cooler it came with, cause Ryzen doesnt like not having temperature headroom
Pretty sure pbo wasn't on 2nd gen ryzen
^
It has "pbo" in that you can raise power limits
It was an awful implementation, but it's there and your cpu won't boost as high if it's disabled.
If hes scoring low in comparison to others with the same setup, he should check the obvious things first
sup guys? i have a question about overclocking
i kinda think i understand what it is but i'm not sure
What part is the problem for you?
well i don't exactly understand what it is
but i think i might
i'm a computer idiot who's used gaming computers for years and decided it's finally time to learn about them
Ok. In essence overclocking is making components run above (or occasionally below) the specifications they're rated at.
If your processor spec says it boosts up to 4.6ghz, you can try to get it to do 4.8ghz instead, for example.
so like
i'm into guns. when you load your own ammo you have certain types of gun powders and you have to measure enough. if you know what you're doing you can add a little extra gun powder in the bullet to get more power
so is overclocking kinda like that, but rather than breaking your gun by going overboard you can compensate by extra cooling?
There's still a point when you can break it going overboard
Voltage would be like the gunpowder here
but the analogy is similar enough?
More voltage, more performance, but also more heat and less life of the device
Once you take into account other gun mods you can make like a long barrel, there's a decent enough analogy to make there
it's the pressure build in the chamber, you can only go so far before you're going to break your gun
but i think i get it now, thanks
overclocking is something that takes time and practice to learn, huh?
To do it right, yeah.
gotcha. thanks for the info
Is pushing TDC/EDC above 180amps in itself bad or does that entirely depend on thermals?
at 182amps I'm just shy of 80 degrees
Depends on your motherboard VRM
The motherboard limit is 180 but it also has an option to push up to 130% of that
I have a 92mm noctua blowing on the VRM b
but I dunno what the temps look like. Is that even in HWiNFO? lol
Which board exactly? Airflow is good but if the traces are bad or something... 
Strixx B550-F
Should do 200A just fine with a little airflow
CPU PPT is max 185.684w
I'm starting to get into 10900K territory
well not really I think my 10900K is like 277w
which isn't even that crazy for 10900K
I got my EK Dual D6 pump the other day
I'm waiting for my coolant to arrive before I do the swap out mission
Yeah Intel hitting 300W isn't uncommon
Hoo boy that'll be loud
D5's aren't that loud even at full speed
The pump I'm swapping it with was 1260L/hr
the EK is 1500. I dunno how the pump heads compare but I know this one is 7m
Thats... really high
maybe I should wait until that's in before I try TDC/EDC north of like 185
I'm still getting dismal results
I dunno what's going on the in the background lately but I'm not even at 4600mhz on every core on CB lately
I think it's thermaltake RGB + Razer crap running
You can test that by doing a clean boot
oh okay I found it the old pump head was 4m so I'm nearly doubling
how do you clean boot? cuz safemode won't even let me run a lot of benchmarks
is it from recovery environment?
ah my old friend haha
Ever faithful
ya cuz I was going into recovery environment and then booting ot safemode
It is nice that some parts of windows never changes
is there a consistent way to undervolt h series intel cpus?
H series... that's mobile right? Not all boards allow that
oh actually someone was asking me this today. You can run XTU and lower the wattage for boost as an alternative
you'll lose some clock on boost but should help thermals supposedly
lower wattage with xtu?
fis it a dell G7? lol
nah, acer nitro 5
managed to get a steal with a 3060 in it
oh alright ya that's what I found as far as suggestions went for the Dell G7
only a 10300h though
this dude had a 2060 or 2080 I forget
but he was throttling nasty
the other alternative was to repaste it
i throttle a little bit
I haven't used XTU all that much but I'm sure it has voltage control
now whether that means it works on a laptop cpu I dunno
yea, i tried that a little while ago but i havent had a huge look at it
He ended up giving up because he kept getting install errors
cuz some of Dell's bloatware had XTU built into it
so he couldn't just install the normal version unless he wiped all that out
& didn't wanna mess with it out of fear of losing keyboard rgb control
his you could turn off boost in BIOS but then you're stuck with like 2.6ghz max
you can limit your CPU output to 99% in advanced Power settings
but that just has the same effect of turning off boost
& with a laptop that nice you don't wanna throw away that feature for sure
oh uh
I think in device manager
you can see if it's already preinstalled
in which case you'd run into the same problem he did
check to see if it still shows in device manager>software components
not there
hmm that's strange. I think technically it's not even supposed to be installed on H CPU but I'm not 100%
How elaborate are you BIOS
can you change Turbo Boost Short Power Max?
lower the wattage?
Supposedly there's also a program called ThrottleStop
I've never even used or seen it
but just from what I"m reading here
on the xtu download website they should have a list of supported processors
that explains throttlestop
haven't read it yet but will now
the article mentions that you're supposed to set XTU settings to default before you uninstall or they can stay in place I guess
I'm gonna download this on my Surfacebook3 rn. That thing is a furnace
ya that sucks cuz there's no telling when that can get replaced
no one fixes those? lol
its not profitable to mine on a cpu in general
i mean extra cents added to what the gpu mines so
Can anyone of you please take me through a step to step guide on over locking my Intel i5 1035G1 please also mention its downsides if any!!
Not worth it for the amount of heat that cpu mining pumps out, not to mention how horrible it is to use your system while cpu mining
You can't really overclock it, you might be able to increase the power limit with intel xtu or throttlestop/undervolt it tho
Will I have any obvious benefits after that
alright thank you
Increasing power is kinda like an overclock, and undervolting gets you the same performance but at lower temperatures, which should allow the cpu to boost higher
side effects tho, wont it damage the cpu
nope
?
you can make a rig that'll make $20-30 a month for around $500-600
profitable, but not much of a point to do so without an LLC to deduct the rigs as a business expense
Not at all, especially undervolting, which can actually extend the life of a chip by producing less heat

Yeah idk if I'll stream to twitch, would probably just stream my obs window to discord here like last time.

just a copy and paste from gen cause i'm lazy lol
i'm new to the pc overclocking stuff and i just wanna ask some questions: how does changing the core voltage affect the gpu? does it in any way damage it?
nvidia: no*
amd: yes*
*generally cant damage, but depends on generation
Considering this for my next project before I start hard modding my GPU. Once I do, any software measurements will be completely inaccurate and I'd really like to not melt my cables.
Is it overkill? Probably. But that's overclocking for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ42IycgHOs

Yeah, don't do that. Can't really tell but guessing he's using some kind of shunt to measure current. If anything you'd want to use a hall effect type sensor current clamp around the +12v wires, but that's much more difficult and complex of a project.
That setup in the vid would probably be ok for an gtx 1060 or something, not a 3090 lol.
just get elmor's thing that's launching in a few weeks
Looks like emlors design uses shunts as well, but I'd assume his implementation is well designed
I wasn't going to do an exact duplicate, I may be a novice when it comes to electrical engineering but I can tell where some things could be improved. I'd want to introduce as little resistance and fluctuation as possible.
I wasn't aware of that device yet, and honestly I'm surprised I haven't been able to find anything like that already. Closest I've seen is the passmark inline tester but that's got some obvious limitations.
I would be surprised if elmor's costs more than $40-50 tbh
he makes them dirt cheap
It looks quite simple but that's a good thing here
I mean, its voltage, amerage (wattage), i2c and 4 channels of monitoring
eps 1, eps 2, pcie 1 and pcie 2+3
yeah, i was thinking about squeezing some more performance out of my card cause in benchmarks i was a bit behind the average benches for the card
thank you for the information :)
its down to what card its on, but in general since 1000 series nvidia, voltage slider does nothing
wait, so it does nothing even in a 3090?
Depends on the 3090 but generally, no it does nothing
oh. well, the more you know
also i adjusted some sliders and benched it and
oh
well i got an increase of 573
from 17790 to 18363
and this is without closing all my background apps
is that a good increase?
That's good but can be better. Typically overclocking can get you between 5-15% better bench scores, and that's a 3% increase.
ah okay
If that's a 3090 a lot of them can hit 20k for time spy gpu
yeah, i was testing the sliders and i crashed in valorant and csgo so i'm just kind of being a little on the safer side
but i'll experiment some more and see how that goes
+1200 on memory should be doable before you get performance regression and artifacts, and you can play around with going higher and lower
Make sure to max out power limit too
Happy to pass along what I know
Some 3090s can do +1400 memory or higher, if you're lucky
One of the better results from the night, memory was still relatively untuned, should be able to beat it next time. https://hwbot.org/submission/4808735_forks_geekbench3___multi_core_core_i9_10900k_66607_points
Also lol at this efficiency at only 6.7 https://hwbot.org/submission/4808751_forks_wprime___1024m_with_benchmate_core_i9_10900k_37sec_980ms
i just got a score of 19,621(from 18361) on timespy.
core voltage(idk if it does anything): +7
power limit: 107
temp: 91
core clock: +90
memory: +1200
now i just need to stress test it to make sure its alright lol
bruh theres people clocking their 5950x to 4800+MHz
Time spy will benefit from dual rank / tuned memory in general.
whats dual rank? sorry, i am a little slow lol
A type of memory config
so it would be like 2 dimm sticks in the A channel?
or whatever its called
like dual channel ram/single channel ram = single rank and quad channel = dual rank?
More info in the ddr4 guide in the pins
will check that out, thanks!
overclock an apu
what
I need help with an oc on 1080 ti, can you peeps show me your overclocks?
Search 1080 ti on hwbot and see what numbers people are running
Make sure you filter it so you aren't looking at LN2 and dry ice runs though
Rank != Channel
The number of channels is determined by the CPU/motherboard. Consumer platforms are pretty much exclusively dual channel.
You get quad channel in HEDT, and more in servers.
Ranks are a group of 8 memory chips on a stick (9 if you have ECC). You can get "single side" sticks with a single rank, or "dual sided" sticks with two ranks on a stick
You can have a rank of four chips if they're x16 / 16 bit width.
But it's usually 8, yes.
Yeah I know lmao from what I'm seeing my oc is kinda weird... every one is maxing out at 2075 on the core but I hit 2100 stable. The thing is that I can't get the memory to stabilize...
What card?
There's always going to be some variability between what your card can do on core or mem vs others.
It'll vary by luck of the bin, cooling, ambient temp, workload, and more.
It's a gtx 1080 ti poseidon on water
I guess my card has a very lazy memory lmao
@violet bobcat my 1080's memory is also awful
I wonder if they use the same chip manufacturer
Mine artifacts and crashes if you go higher than like +140
Well no, 140 is around where performance is best, and it starts artifacting around 155 and crashes at 160
I have micron chips
Hum... i tried +200 on the memory and it was stable but with the core stock as soon as I messed with the core, the memory became unstable
This card is so weird with overclocking xD
I know it's not a thermal issue cause under load the card only hits 59C
Mine peaks at about +240 core and +140 mem. That's where I see the best results.
But I've heard +140 mem is really low for these cards 1080fe non ti)
I think I also have micron but I don't recall
Well no
That's where my performance peaks, any higher than that and my scores start going down
I haven't tried to see how high j can actually push the core cause ATM it's my daily and it's 5 years old
I also have it watercooled and I've never seen the hotspot go above 63°
(I only pay attention to the hotspot temperature cause this card doesn't have temperature sensors anywhere but the die, so it shows me the hottest recorded point rather than the average)
Highest non-hotspot was like 52°
I totally understand, I also use my card daily but I want a little more ooff to keep up with today games
I don't really have a need to overclock for the games I play, but I kinda got hooked on hwbot for a minute
Use a corsair 4000x with a front glass so my tmps of the overall system are a bit more high than a typical custom system but nothing to worry about
I have a 5000d airflow and I love it. How do you like the 4000x?
I love the case but hate the doing custom watercooling in it lmao
I went with aios for CPU and GPU because I am not only poor, but also lazy
I have a 360 rad in the front and 240 on top cooling a i9 10900k at 5.2 and 1080 ti
It's a soft tubing system and almost made me kill myself xD
The base clocks will vary per card, compare the actual clock of the core/memory vs the positive offset.
I know, it's not equal to every card. I just find very weird that I can push the core clock so high and not the memory
I think it's just a micron gddr5x thing cause I'm in the same boat
Try bringing your clock down a tiny bit, might be destabilising your memory a bit
I'll try that! Thanks!
Some laptops will let you iirc sips did it
Usually not
anyone knows how to oc a amd a9 9425 apu(laptop but barely heats up so..)
I don't think that you can
Why is it that during CB 10min multi My Core 0 temp is 10 degrees cooler than any other core yet whenever I get WHEA errors they're on Core 0?
then again wouldn't that make sense if it needs lower offset to achieve the same ratio... hmm
so that temp in addition to the WHEA errors would tend to indicate that Core 0 is actually being starved of voltage relative to other cores... right?
is the voltage reported at any given time by SVI2 constant across all cores? Seems like it couldn't be because then per core curve optimizer wouldn't be doing anything...
but if I further reduce (i.e. from -21 to -19) Core 0's offset in curve optimizer, wouldn't it have the effect of reducing overall frequency in multi-core tasks like CB?
Sounds like that core is just inherently low leakage making it more efficient, yet worse for competitive overclocking.
Hi, I am going to be building a pc (have all the parts) and I’ve got a 3070 ti (asus tuf) am wondering if I should overclock as I have the cooling (6 Corsair fans) and power (850 w superflower psu) capability. I do not know how to do it myself, but my friend who is coming over knows how to do it. I am wondering if it’s worth it
i have never heard of superflower before
but my two cents here are, and i havent been in the OC scene for too long, you should only OC if you want to make benches and stuff higher. if you are gaming, the few points OC raises do not make that big of a difference FPS wise. OC can help with fps and productivity but not by alot. UNLESS you are planning to do large and heavy OC's and have the cooling, knowledge, and understand the risks involved then yeah, it might make a bigger impact on productivity and performance. with these heavy OC's, you would need to put alot of time into making your system stable and if you dont want to compete in these aspects then i dont see that much of a need to OC
you could OC your system slightly but i dont really see that big of a difference in gaming
well, unless you clock your memory speed up
but with that also come some drawbacks, such as stability and power consumption
Ok thanks for the input
yes ofc :)
They're a pretty old brand, sold outside the US and under other names in US. Typically average quality units.
Superflower is the OEM for some EVGA units
oh, interesting. the more you know
If you don't mind spending a few minutes, graphics card oc can be very beneficial@hexed cargo
Oops wrong reply 🙄
i got 12 fps higher from OC ram and pbo
hey everyone, need a little help here? long story short, I ave a pre built. MSI aegis R with an RTX 3070, MSI MAG b460 mortar mother board. it came with 2x8gb 3000 ram sticks. I turned on the XMP in my BIOS with not much gain it seems. Im looking at getting perhaps 2x16gb ram with either 3200 or 3600Mhz. is ther anything I can try before making the jump to changing up the RAM?
and to make that jump to new ram. can anyone maybe point me in the right direction? what would be better for the system more or less?
ok
i would say 2x8gb or 2x16gb crucial balistix 3600mhz cl16 or gskill trident z neo 3600mhz cl16 would be better
but what cpu do you have
ohk sweet, and I would be best to stay with 2 ram sticks and avoid going up to 4 correct?
I only have 2 channels, and from what I read up, with 2 channel, 4 sticks wont help anything, and could even negatively impact?
brb
kk, also sorry we got a little off topic from OC folks. my bad
its ok
You can't really go much higher on B460, it's a platform limitation from Intel
im not sure whether your cpu will support that ram with a b460 motherboard
2933 max?
Z490, B560, H570, and Z590 only if you want to go over 2933
yes
ahhh ohk, yea cause I was at 2667 before I turned on XMP
so basically theirs no point in upgrading the RAM unless I upgrade the motherboard first?
Yeah the motherboard is your limit here
You can thank intel for restricting it for no reason but to make you pay more
big sad lol
eh, ngl im no expert. FAR from obvs... but this pre built is a solid platform to build on. so I guess a new motherboard will be on the list at some point
thanks for the help! I strongly appriciate it
no problem
appreciate*
Honestly I'd hold off on the motherboard until next gen intel, it's coming at the end of this year
If you're going to update might as well platform update
oh I deff will, Id say that upgrade would be made some time next spring.
so would a new MB also mean a new CPU would be smart?
Yes, next gen will be new mobo, new cpu, and new memory
Processors are looking weird too, like 12 core 20 thread oddities
that is very odd
The reason behind that is the big/little core thing they're copying from ARM. There's some "high performance" cores like the one's we're used to, then some "high efficiency" cores that don't have hyperthreading and clock lower, but use much less power.
my guy I need to go to college for this stuff. I got into the PC game way too late lol
interesting, all in one processor?
what
is still 10nm
ok
Considering their current CPUs are still 14nm it's a big jump
Besides, AMD and Intel measure things differently. Intel 10nm is almost the same as AMD 7nm.
Which is why Intel is renaming things, so instead of 10nm they're calling it "7". No nm. Just "7".
During the Intel Accelerated event, Intel decided that it didn’t like the game everyone else was playing, so it's going to make its own. If numbers don't mean anything, don't use numbers.

Last ye...
i saw that
Damn, not bad
It's that new hardware
i just submitted some more
recently gotten my hands on an rx 470, i7-7700K, gtx 1070, and rx 5700 xt
so had some fun subbing everything
I really need to bench the processor I got for my wife, a little old dual core from the vista era that no one else seems to really have on hwbot...
Free points
It's mostly for playing older win95-98 era games
Which are running surprisingly better than the other XP machine that blew up
Yup. Games that don't play nice with modern x64 systems that don't have the old CPU instruction sets.
My computer is good enough to run a windows 98 emulator though lol
harder than it sounds
Don't I know it. Full hardware level emulation is... fun
If anyone else is curious this is what I was playing with https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/
It managed to keep my overclocked 5800X very busy with an emulated Pentium MMX 166 MHz
PBO for daily, manual OC for multi core benching
ok
Is using scalar "bad" if you have a core offset to keep voltage under 1.300v under load?
dont think so
Be careful with manual oc, sips ran manual oc for not very long and degraded chip
It's still on PBO but with the added additional offset
@sudden torrent oh man thats funny. I read somewhere that rocket lake was 10nm and took it at face value
I didn't realize it was still a 14nm node, just a 10nm architecture backported to 14nm or whatever
I'm not even an intel fanboy and I still fell for the marketing
Yeah, how many pluses did they need to equal 10nm? 14nm++++++ or something
Sorry to reply to a comment from yesterday, discord always takes a minute to update while I'm at work and I always make a fool of myself replying to old comments thinking they're the most recent
does it really matter if it's 10nm or 14nm though if it's competitive
node names are all just marketing now
they no longer have any basis in any physical measurements
It's still good to know where benefits are coming from
like optimizations or node changes
but yea, gate length is just gonna be useless measurement for comparing nodes from now on tbh
sure but at the end of the day I care about how a cpu performs more than I care about a marketing number
7nm has its drawbacks too
Well seeing as Intel's excuse for 11900k having 8 cores was "we can't fit any more" I'd hope a smaller node process might help lol
They could always fit more and it was a BS excuse to start with (10900k anyone) but still
backported
yep and that's why they're not competitive in that market segment
5900x looking cute
but hey
c l o k s p e e d
Right, it was 10nm on their 14nm+++++ node
yes
I wonder how overclocking will be on intel arc
will afterburner work with it
will we need intel xtu
xtu 2.0
It'll be interesting. To start with I'd think XTU would be all since it's in house but eventually third party like afterburner will figure it out
I'd imagine they'll want to work with MSI to get afterburner compatibility tho
although, do we know if Intel arc will have aib models?
Wouldn't be their first time collaboration
And I don't think that's been said yet, but AIB models seem unlikely
Intel does most of their own production, I don't think they'd trust Samsung or TSMC with their processes
Is it now? Interesting break in tradition
will probably switch to intel node once they get their stuff sorted
intel 7 or intel 4
they're still first and foremost a CPU company
they probably want their limited intel 7 supply going into alder lake and servers
I expect first gen arc to be more of Intel just testing the waters
second gen might get more serious if they get their fabs up to speed
I'm expecting it to go like RDNA did, first gen kinda meh with bugs, next gen better
they might be able to put serious pressure on nvidia and amd if they can undercut the competition due to inhouse fabs
nobody will be surprised if arc launches with teething issues but intel's software team is huge so I'd think issues would get ironed out faster than rdna
We'll have to see where in the market they're trying to assert themselves in terms of price
They do have the advantage on the software since they already have their integrated GPU drivers
Like when ibm got 2nm but who cared apart from people that didn't realize it's in line with tsmc(7 or 5nm can't remember which one)
..?
10900
anandtech says no
:p
Isn't it intel ark? And intel arc? Is the archive thing? not confusing at all
arc, the gpu
Ohh I'm mistaken nvm
Thought it was arc for archive or something 
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Stoopid naming
@bleak sable Remember when subbing for geek, need to save the data file after the run, then upload that separately
As of jan 1 this year, you need to have the online link for subs
Alright will do
You need to pay for the valid rating
And you can’t save a data file
It's only good for about ~50 team power points anyway
Have you done port royal yet? That actually has global points
And decent hardware points
Lmao it submitted
You need to pay
@proven canopy is it scummy to repport the 3080ti who beat me? they used 3.3.3 gpupi in a 3.2 benchmark
no
I now took first place in gpupi 3.2 then
Depends on the cpu
im not gonna buy it now lol
You already have that?
no
what is pbo
Then don't buy it.
why
Old
then what cpu should i buy
Too expensive
Depends on budget
Precision boost overdrive, kinda like an auto oc
ok
What's the whole pc? Are you reusing parts?
Then i5 11400(f) if it ever comes back in stock for the right price, or i5 10400(f)
with the f?
Total system budget?
or non f
F just means no integrated gpu
What's your total budget?
What about the gpu?
Did you find an rx 590 for an okay price or?
Oh nice okay
i know it sus
10400 isn't expensive
but i can return the gpu if have any problem in 30 days
is that noctua cooler?
Yes
maybe the cpu budget will be 175$

@void kelp https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sYMfXb if you can go a bit over
Well where do you live?
Don't convert prices ;-;
i could go with 700$
Are you not in the us?
Then don't use us prices
im still gonna go for the 5 2600
What country?
vietnam
TOO EXPENSIVE
Okay but fyi tell people you're not in the us and don't quote us prices for budget if you ask other ppl for work
ok lol
I mean
Doesn't look that bad in price
https://shopee.vn/CPU-AMD-Ryzen-5-3600-3.6-GHz-Chính-Hãng-i.64334213.9020480575
@void kelp what's the price you're seeing for it?
10400 not that bad in terms of price on shopee
It's just more options, 2600 a bit sad
are my timings good
what kit is that
@proven canopy is this a lot of points
yes
It hasn't updated yet, but before that you had 51 team power points total
Just check https://hwbot.org/team/wegg/
so did i double it?
also whats the golden star
4th place
