actually at 4800 (not stable enough to finish 1b ycruncher) my latency was sub-60

Yeah you might be pressing your imc limit

#

I think so. I haven't been able to POST 4866 so probably right at it

You're also largely limited by vdimm without setting a maxmem, but that's not really practical for ycuncher on that chip

Might as well cut it down as close as you can though

#

I'll see if my 3060 is worth any points rn then

#

it might be cuz the highest scores were like 3060 w/ 5950x

#

How does one overclock RAM? I'm using some offbrand RAM (it looks OEM and has no manufacturer info) that's 8x2GB @2400hz

#

And I hear ryzen devices do better the faster the RAM is

#

I haven't had any performance issues as of late but it'd be nice to break more limits

#

Also, what is the point of overclocking CPU and GPU if both are already pretty good? I have a 3050 and a 5600x and so far I can only imagine needing to OC on truly insane games like HZD

#

Otherwise, unless I'm just missing some vital knowledge, it seems like a gimmick that just wastes power and strains GPU, especially if you have a 3060 Ti or better

#

(HZD is a pretty intense game but the 3060 Ti runs it at 80 FPS on highest settings)

zenith palm
#

Also because it can be fun

#

I would be very unhappy with 80fps also - granted i wouldn't be playing at high

#

But 80fps should be like a 1% low maybe not average imo

I'll do that in the morning after I finish downloading this 115 GB file... At 2 MB/s...

only have it at 2200MHz on the core and 9571MHz on the memory

excuse me?

#

so you're running like +400 core and only +70 mem?

wack

tall pelican
#

its weird seeing nvidia have next to no clock increases from the past 3 generations

short blade
#

so I heard ryzen master is integrated into the radeon driver now and it actively messes with peoples' bios settings

#

wut?

tall pelican
#

that's people being dumb

lavish tundra
#

not a big problem on public release

tall pelican
#

software can override bios settings, but it wont alter the bios

short blade
#

it really shouldn't be integrated in the first place

#

apparently restoring any gpu profile will mess up your cpu oc

tall pelican
#

Im installing it rn, pretty sure it isnt actually there

#

march versions has a download link to RM

lavish tundra
#

it needs ryzen master installed too

#

but yeah most of the bugs are ironed out even tho people were pissed when the "feature" was added

short blade
#

I wouldn't know, I don't use ryzen master and don't have a radeon gpu

#

just reading about it

it was so buggy in beta tho

so here we are folks, people once again being stupid

i have the 1000w vbios and I can't get anywhere near that

updates radeon drivers to 22.4.1
ryzen master is nowhere to be seen on my system
gpu still allows me to set same overclock as before

lavish tundra
#

yeah u need ryzen master installed

tall pelican
#

no you dont

short blade
#

you'd need to be drawing above 700 watts on your 3080ti assuming you have an amazing sample locked at 1.1v

it didnt work with rdna2 at launch

short blade
# proven canopy Not happening at that voltage

I get 2130mhz with a +135 offset at 1.1v, so 2200mhz would be a stable +210 offset from the strix factory oc, technically not impossible but would have to be a beyond incredible sample to be stable

#

I still definitely doubt it

proven canopy
#

I just xdoubt in general

short blade
#

yeah especially for someone running vram at basically stock

#

questionable

#

9571 mt/s would actually be a -180 offset for me LOL

decided to try TSE with a +0.1V offset, 780w peak on the gpu

flat 14s would be fun

Indeed. 3600c14 probably quite possible even, although age no doubt effects things a bit. I need to find a decent cheap ssd & I'll do some benching, or maybe just use an older MX300 I have? Would be fun to gets the "bench" OS & mess around a bit.

dull ginkgo
#

smol cheap ssd works for bench drive

potent fiber
#

Yeah the mx300 is "275" GB & not really used, but I probably should get at least 1 other cheapo for this stuff.

potent fiber
# zenith palm what price?

$99 for ram, $200 for cpu. Not a crazy price but I already have mobo for it & overall the performance will still be huge compared to current. Actually it felt decent when 11400 is $170ish & (new) 10700F is $240ish. I know 6core plenty but fully doubling cores/threads will be fun.

Kinda, it's really not that hard to manage, even at 2 volts

A 1600 rpm 120mm fan is plenty for dual rank at 1.6v daily

sudden torrent
#

I use a 80mm, fits a little easier

potent fiber
#

Ah guess it's overblown, good. Heard about it not liking being up near 50c or w/e, but suppose w/ a fan anywhere close would be fine, especially at under 1.5v. Idk how far I'll even try. Still a couple days til I maybe win the old 3200c14 kit.

sudden torrent
#

It starts erroring at 45-50C but it takes time to get there as long as you have a decent heat spreader on them and a little airflow.

potent fiber
#

Decent heatspreader me thinks? Starting caseless for a bit so I'll have a 120fan right next to the ram anyways haha.

When I go to overclock my RAM.. what procedure do I need to do to test the overclock for stability?

lavish tundra

on the extreme anta config

#

Do I just run the test once? Or does it just run until I stop it? If so, how long do I run it?

run till it ends

Gotcha ok. I will spend this morning checking it out when I get off work.

I'm trying to learn how to overclock my 3600. I already have Ryzen Master, and have set the OC on that to auto. Isn't there something I need to do in the motherboard BIOS or no?

sudden torrent
sudden torrent
#

You can do it in RM but it's best to do in bios

hearty tundra
#

ASRock BIOS is confusing

sudden torrent
#

Yeah it is lol

#

RM works

hearty tundra
#

Might need to restart my PC to see results

sudden torrent
#

Yep. Then apply and test in RM

#

It'll boost higher if it's at a lower temperature.
Keep in mind the rated max single core boost is 4.2ghz

#

If you're getting 4.2 or so on more than 1 core loads that's a success

hearty tundra
#

I'm loading up HWINFO

sudden torrent
#

Is that idle or load?

zenith palm
#

I'd assume idle

sudden torrent
#

I assume as well but maybe they have an overkill 480mm radiator lol

hearty tundra
#

That's idle

#

And I'm on an air cooler

#

I don't really do much that's CPU heavy except for gaming and the occasional video editing

sudden torrent
#

Run the stress test in Ryzen master for 10 minutes. It'll give you an idea of what temps to expect when gaming, but not max.

hearty tundra
#

How do I do the stress test in RM

sudden torrent
#

In the settings change the test time, then go back and apply and test

hearty tundra
#

That
Wasn't 10 minutes

sudden torrent
#

Did you save the settings before switching back?

hearty tundra
#

I did

#

Or I thought I did

zenith palm
#

Personally i would just search around bios to find PBO so you don't have to deal with RM being finicky

hearty tundra
#

But as I said, ASRock BIOS is confusing

#

It's a cheaper ASUS BIOS but still

sudden torrent
#

Can't be as bad as my MSI having overclock settings in 3 places, and one of them is in hexadecimal

zenith palm
#

It's probably in the advanced/overclocking section

hearty tundra
#

Last time I did motherboard OC, I had to pull the CMOS battery

sterile flame

Pbo won't require that because it's just more aggressive boosting basically

The only really good corsair products are the 4000d/5000d airflow and some od their power supplies - which they don't even make they just rebrand

So they did improve over ddr4

sudden torrent

So far yeah. It's still early in ddr5 life

But you do get some of the best looking rgb out there and you can even get a lcd for it

Corsair does have the best looking RGB though

gloomy solstice

Looks are subjective but corsair has balanced rgb

sudden torrent
#

Can't really argue that, easily top 3 for me. Too bad icue is evil.

gloomy solstice

Best thing is

#

Corsair is adding support and including adapters so you can connect it to a 5v rgb header

Exept for fan controll

If you have a commander

#

The thing I think we can all agree with tho

hearty tundra
#

I have my fans set depending on CPU temperature

gloomy solstice
#

Is that the standard 5v rgb header is crap

#

And it should be replaced by a locking connector

#

And it probably will change eventually

Considering sata and usb2 used to have no housing

If ya don't like it

Talking about RAM burst length, shouldn't it be measured without a unit of measurement (considering it's just the number of times that data packs are sent to the CPU)

#

Hi. I was wondering.

#

So far I was just able to hit a 4.4 GHZ OC on my 3700x running at 1.325 vCore

#

I can't seem to get it any higher.

#

I have tried 44.25 Core Ratio, however the system proceeds to BSOD. Is that it? Or would I have to pump more voltage into it for more stability?

lavish tundra
#

unless u fit test and pbo pushes higher

stiff condor
#

PBO pushes it to 1.4

#

It stays hard at 1.448

lavish tundra
#

not on idle

#

under load

stiff condor
#

I was in the bios

lavish tundra
#

💀

stiff condor
#

sat there for a few minutes

#

and it reported 1.448

#

💀

lavish tundra
#

thats lighter than windows

stiff condor
#

You heard me.

lavish tundra
#

switch pbo on and use prime 95 small ffts test and see where voltage settles after 15 mins

#

thats the voltage u dont wanna cross on ur chip

stiff condor
#

I read that Zen2 is 1.0 to 1.4v no?

lavish tundra
#

not under load

#

some clown said that if under load

stiff condor
#

Or would it simply be better to undervolt to 1.1

lavish tundra
#

probably was 1usmus

stiff condor
#

or even lower?

lavish tundra
stiff condor
#

Then how do you keep within the safe voltage range?

lavish tundra
stiff condor
#

Ive tried auto on my board

#

and auto Vcore is 1.448 IDLE

lavish tundra
#

ok step one

#

realise idle means jack

stiff condor
#

So a cpu core ratio is not worth it?

lavish tundra
#

and is 100% useless

now

Just go straight for a PBO enable?

stiff condor
#

Ok.

lavish tundra
#

find the voltage

#

set that as the voltage

#

push clock as far as is stable on that voltage

stiff condor
#

The core clock no?

lavish tundra
#

yes

#

the ratio

stiff condor
#

Would it be ideal to keep Vcore on auto?

#

or set an offset/manual

lavish tundra
stiff condor
#

and for PBO, are we talking about a manual OC, or just enable?

lavish tundra
#

put it to auto to find the voltage u wanna set it to

stiff condor
#

Why would it be reporting such high voltages from bios anyway?

lavish tundra
#

because those are the voltages its using

stiff condor
#

So your telling me, just watch if it flucuates?

kind walrus
#

Idle voltage is much higher than load voltage

lavish tundra
#

it uses higher voltages at idle since power draw is low

stiff condor
#

ah. Ill set PBO to enable to turn off the manual OC.

#

I noticed that my chip doesn't boost even with PBO enabled

lavish tundra
#

so even if 1.5v is safe at idle it will kill ur cpu pretty fast under load

stiff condor
#

I open a demanding application such as prime 95, and it stays at 3.60GHZ

lavish tundra
lavish tundra
#

u just want voltage

#

not clock

#

as long as it is actively boosting

stiff condor
#

Should fmax enhancer stay on?

lavish tundra
#

EVERYTHING AUTO

#

EXCEPT PBO

stiff condor
#

Is that not the EDC 1 bug?

#

I see.

#

Started Prime95 Small FFT's, and the Core Voltage is alot lower.

#

Is it normal for the vCore to stay idle at a voltage?

#

The voltage is not even moving, and I have it set to auto in bios.

stiff condor
#

So ideally now should I set the manual voltage as 1.056?

lavish tundra
#

thats too low

#

what app u using to check

#

and what sensor were u looking at

#

that looks more like soc voltage

#

@stiff condor

stiff condor
#

HWInfo

#

"CPU Core Voltage"

#

Current: 1.056

#

Minimum: 1.056

#

@lavish tundra

lavish tundra
#

send screenshot

#

dm me

stiff condor
#

So does that mean PBO scalar is a waste of time?

#

and it is just better to set a core ratio

#

and be done with it, instead of adjusting ppt values?

lavish tundra
#

only way to know is testing tbh

#

depending on quality of ur chip it changes

stiff condor
#

Now the core voltage is 1.070-1.056

#

I rarely see it spiking to 1.1

lavish tundra
#

send screenshots?

#

thats dummy low

stiff condor
lavish tundra
#

how long have u had it running at 1.325V

stiff condor
#

Just tried today.

#

For atleast only 1 hour

stiff condor
lavish tundra
#

huh

#

id just leave pbo on tbh

#

dont manually oc

stiff condor
#

Thats why I was wondering since I read zen2 has safe voltages of 1.1-1.48

lavish tundra
#

thats bs under load

#

i guarantee ull kill ur cpu in a few months at 1.48V

stiff condor
#

So basically, they are safe when PBO is running

#

but running it at a manually VCore fries it.

lavish tundra
#

at idle

stiff condor
#

That makes sense.

lavish tundra
#

yes

#

under load

#

no

stiff condor
#

Doesn't PBO scale voltages?

#

So when it boosts, it pumps high voltages but only for a little bit?

lavish tundra
#

pbo = low power draw high voltage and high power draw lower voltage

#

to protecc cpu

stiff condor
#

Ehh. true.

#

PBO will boost to 4.4 anyway

#

if i need a demanding task.

kind walrus
#

Manual voltage removes a lot of the protections that auto and pbo keep on to self-manage the cpu from frying itself

stiff condor
#

But then isn't that why you undervolt?

#

Lets say its 1.448.

#

Undervolt 0.03150?

lavish tundra
#

bro do u know the difference between idle and load

#

ive been trying to tell u many times now

#

that its not using those voltages under load

lavish tundra
#

literally idle is meaningless

#

forget idle values

#

they dont matter

#

load is what matters

stiff condor
#

so if load is 1.1

lavish tundra
#

then it probably needs the 1.1v to do whatever clock its running

sudden torrent
#

For PBO on my 5800X I find it best to set a negative offset voltage. Forget manual voltage.
The offset takes the voltage the CPU requests and adjusts it higher (positive) or lower (negative).
I do -0.025v offset

lavish tundra
#

yeah thats core optimiser

#

guy has zen 2 chip

stiff condor
#

Oh. I drr.

sudden torrent
#

No that's separate

stiff condor
#

I see*.

#

1.1 Load

#

so it might be even lower when idle

#

The BIOS values are just BS

lavish tundra
sudden torrent
kind walrus
lavish tundra
#

but yeah to undervolt ull have to do a lotta testing

stiff condor
#

and isn't PBO pretty well optimised?

lavish tundra
#

and make sure while undervolting, it still maintains the same clocks if u don wan lose perf

stiff condor
#

that even if you do run a manually OC, PBO will probably give you similar performance anyway?

#

Which is why you should just switch on PBO and forget?

lavish tundra
#

bro

#

ive already explained this

#

pbo is great on zen 3

#

and later zen 2 chips

#

on early zen 2 samples not as good as manual

stiff condor
#

So then why shouldn't I go the PPT route.

#

and I got my 3700x last august?

lavish tundra
#

just enable pbo

#

and forget about it

sudden torrent
#

That's getting dangerously close to the "at your own risk" part of overclocking

lavish tundra
#

indeed

short blade
#

I start clock stretching if I try to apply a negative voltage offset at all

#

on top of PBO

stiff condor
#

Im noticing something odd

#

My bios says Enable: allows cpu to run past defined limits

#

But the cpu will only boost when I have it on Auto

#

Ok. That makes more sense. I had to enable PE.

stiff condor
#

Hynix MFR is meh correct?

#

Ive been trying to tighten the timings on 3800c18 but it won’t even budge

sudden torrent
stiff condor
#

It seems to be able to tighten a bit more that I enabled cmd1t

#

So far, no issues posting

#

Do you think maybe i could try to hit c16?

#

3800c16

#

Im lowering every timing by 1

#

And seeing if eventually it posts with stability

sudden torrent
#

Is it 8Gb or 16Gb MFR

stiff condor
#

2x16gb

#

Hynix m die

#

Or mfr?

sudden torrent
#

Are the chips on one or both sides of the ram stick?

stiff condor
#

Singe rank

sudden torrent
#

16Gb then

stiff condor
#

32gb total

#

16x2 single rank

#

I was suprised i can even hit 3800c18

sudden torrent
#

Yeah the 8Gb vs 16Gb refers to the density of the die

stiff condor
#

On these sticks.

#

From what I hear, mfr is meh

#

And its rare to get past 3400

sudden torrent
#

Looks like it's really dependent on binning for those, c16 could be possible

stiff condor
#

So could my mfr just be a higher bin?

#

oh. Also I was wondering.

sudden torrent
#

Yeah. There's MFR G.Skill rated 4000c18

stiff condor
#

I am tighhtening it correct?

#

Tightening*

#

Go on each subtiming individually

#

And lower it?

#

Im doing this manually because Dram calc does not even support mfr

sudden torrent
#

One at a time is good but do a quick 15 minute test between so you can see if it's instantly unstable

stiff condor
#

Ok

#

Ive finally been able to start tightening after a bios update

#

Asus screwed up my board and all the ram timings were in hex

sudden torrent
#

For a quick test just OCCT works

stiff condor
#

Ah. Cool

#

Thanks for the advice

sudden torrent
stiff condor
#

2t

stiff condor
sudden torrent
#

2T means commands are processed every other cycle instead of every cycle

stiff condor
#

Single rank is worse then dual?

sudden torrent
#

Theoretically

stiff condor
#

I know for ryzen 5000 dual and single differed in performance

#

Along with 4 vs 2 sticks

proven canopy
#

I would go with ycruncher 2.5B for a quick test, occt cpu large is decent for cpu + mem daily, tm5 anta777 extreme or absolute to test overnight

stiff condor
#

Okay, so far I ran a OCCT test, and a testmem5

#

no errors.

zenith palm
#

if tm5 make sure its extreme anta profile btw should take like 2.5-3hrs

sudden torrent
#

It's for a quick sanity check between adjustments but for the full test yeah

stiff condor
#

kk.

#

Ill plan a 4 hour test tonight.

#

I think it won't hurt to do a quick test

#

and then a run a longer test at night tonight.

stiff condor
#

My asus board has those both, and id assume that those are the current timings.

proven canopy
#

It means channel A,B

stiff condor
proven canopy
#

Those are the timings yes

stiff condor
#

Ah. Ok.

#

If a timing is 0? Then what

#

Do I ignore the timing?

#

My trcpage is 0

short blade
#

ignore that one

#

just let it be auto

stiff condor
#

Oof

#

Couldnt lower trf

#

Trfc

stiff condor
#

Uhhhh

#

How do tighten this, if both timings are different

proven canopy
#

watch buildzoid's "rating your memory overclocks video" to see what others are running

stiff condor
#

I was wondering your thoughts on them.

proven canopy
#

Post a zentimings/astc

stiff condor
#

ok

#

This is Hynix MFR or Mdie

#

Running at 3800c18.

#

Now im going to look to tighten each indivually.

#

I did them all one at a time to see what would post.

proven canopy
#

I don't know anything about that die, but that's not running cl18

stiff condor
#

huh?

proven canopy
stiff condor
#

Oh. It must of raised.

#

So should I start lowering the tCL?

#

So the timings worsened?

#

Or loosened*

#

ugh

sudden torrent
#

It must have tried training your settings, said "lol nope" and picked its own timings lol

stiff condor
#

Im assuming cl26 is no bueno

sudden torrent
#

very

stiff condor
#

Im guessing its just worth using default no?

#

Since as I thought. This is already meh

sudden torrent
#

Memory overclocking is one of the most time consuming processes

stiff condor
#

Sadge

sudden torrent
#

Personally unless I'm benching I just pick some settings that I know will run and go

stiff condor
#

Are these default timings ok?

#

Ill post a zen timings

#

Also how do you get tcl lower

#

If memory timings is tightening them

#

Why the hell are mine loosening?

sudden torrent
#

I'd try a cmos clear, then set 3800 18-22-22-22-44 and see if it'll boot and show the right timings

stiff condor
#

What are each tertiary timing?

#

Trap?

#

Tras?

#

OOF

#

This is without even touching timings

#

Maybe my kit is better run at xmp

#

then raising fclk, since if i get this much CL loss

sudden torrent
#

The biggest thing is to get flck and mclk synced on ryzen

stiff condor
#

Fclk is synced, but not sure about mclk

sudden torrent
#

They're the same so it's synced in that screenshot

stiff condor
#

Ah

sudden torrent
#

Which is a good sign

stiff condor
#

How would i set 18-18-18?

sudden torrent
#

You won't be able to get it that tight

stiff condor
#

Cl22 maybe?

stiff condor
#

Correction* i meant how would i plug in 18-22

#

Its Tras no?

#

I remember something like Trc-tras

#

Etc

sudden torrent
#

Ah, timings in order are tCL, tRCDRD, tRCDWR, tRP, and tRAS

stiff condor
#

Okay. Thank you. My bad

sudden torrent
#

In the format 18-22-22-22-44

stiff condor
#

I should of clarified

sudden torrent
#

If that ends up working, what you're probably thinking of is tRC=tCL+tRAS+2

stiff condor
#

Trp is pre charge no?

sudden torrent
#

yes

stiff condor
#

Ah

#

Asus is weird

sudden torrent
#

Yes it is

stiff condor
#

And tras is act time?

sudden torrent
#

I believe so

stiff condor
#

It posted

sudden torrent
#

Very nice

stiff condor
#

Lower it?

#

Wait.

#

Am I thinking about this all wrong?

#

Do I need to dial down every 20 memory timings?

#

or can I just do these 4

#

5*

#

tCL, tRCDRD, tRCDWR, tRP, and tRAS

sudden torrent
#

The most gains will be from the primaries, but ryzen also likes tRFC as low as stable

stiff condor
#

My trfc stable as 312

#

default was 312. Any lower and it wouldn't post

sudden torrent
#

Leave it then

stiff condor
#

so I should start messing with these timings?

#

tCL, tRCDRD, tRCDWR, tRP, and tRAS

#

I don't need to touch Trcpage?

#

or tFaw/Trfc4

#

I was reading the OC guide, some of them seem redudant no?

#

Like trfc4 iirc is temperature

sudden torrent
#

You don't have to. The primaries are the easiest and most effective.

stiff condor
#

Ok. That saves alot of time.

#

Thank you for the advice.

#

Is there a set rule of tightening?

#

Like if TCL won't lower, should you raise trp?

#

etc.

sudden torrent
#

tCL is #1 priority usually, besides clock speed

#

Get that as low as stable

stiff condor
#

Realistically. Why do you think my timings are hella awful

#

CL26.

sudden torrent
#

You don't necessarily need to raise other timings to get it stable though

stiff condor
#

I thought they were ok.

#

Until I saw, Cl26.

sudden torrent
#

Yea that's a sure sign it's unstable lol

stiff condor
#

Ah lol.

#

So maybe try changing
tCL, tRCDRD, tRCDWR, tRP, and tRAS
18-22-22-22-44

#

and instead of that,
17-21-21-21, 43?

#

and keep going basically

#

Until I can not.

sudden torrent
#

Ryzen won't do odd numbered tCL

stiff condor
#

oh

sudden torrent
#

Not without GDM off and other tweaks

stiff condor
#

ah. should I keep geardown mode on?

sudden torrent
#

It's good for stability

stiff condor
#

CMD1t, and ignore ProODT

sudden torrent
#

Yep

stiff condor
#

okay. So unless I have to, then touch those other settings.

#

I'd assume these other settings are more for extreme tweaks

#

Lowering voltage, etc

sudden torrent
#

Correct. If you get WHEA errors when testing you can adjust resistances like procodt to try to get it stable.

stiff condor
#

Ok。ill keep trying at lyk. Thanks for the advice

stiff condor
#

It doesnt like cl16

#

It just turns off clicks on and off

sudden torrent
#

Thought as much. That's really pushing the limit.

stiff condor
#

I guess try other timings 🤷‍♂️

#

Or i might just go grab some ballistix

sudden torrent
#

Some rev.e would be nice. You can go used and save some money, it's not like ram has moving parts to degrade.

stiff condor
#

Ah

#

Since cl16 is out of question

#

Should i change 22-22-22-44

#

See if i can get that lower?

#

Since now i cant dial down the cas latency

sudden torrent
#

Maybe do 18-21-21-22-44 to start

#

Then 18-20-20-22-44 and see if that still works

stiff condor
#

But doesn’t performance degrade with even?

sudden torrent
#

No? Lower is better, unless it's a timing like tCL that it just won't like certain values and keeps you from doing it

stiff condor
#

Ah. I thought ryzen hates like even

#

Cl17?

sudden torrent
#

Nah that's what GDM is for

stiff condor
#

Correction

#

Odd

sudden torrent
#

GDM keeps you from setting timings it knows the IMC won't like

stiff condor
#

Ok.

sudden torrent
#

So even if you set tCL 17 it'll correct it to 18

stiff condor
#

Whats the difference between a lower cl18

#

Like 18-22-22-22-44

#

Vs 18-40-40-40-60

#

Etc

#

Is there performance gain?

sudden torrent
#

They're all related to how fast it stores and retrieves data. Primary timings more than others.

stiff condor
#

Ok.

#

Wow so thats why hynix mdie/cdie are considered meh/awful

#

Oh hey. It really liked 18-20-20-20-40

stiff condor
#

It hated 18-18-20-20-40

sudden torrent
#

Not really weird tbh

stiff condor
#

But like 18-20-20-18-40

sudden torrent
#

Yeah that looks like it'll be about the limit

stiff condor
#

18-20-20-20-40

#

Or 18-20-20-18?

sudden torrent
#

You want weird, my b-die does 3800 14-11-15-13-28
I can't tighten that one timing to save my life

stiff condor
#

What the actual

#

Hell

#

Yeah, that is wack

#

Should i just keep it 18-20?

sudden torrent
stiff condor
#

Ok

sudden torrent
#

Do a full run with TM5 anta extreme, it'll take a few hours

stiff condor
#

Ok

stiff condor
#

I think i jinxed myself

#

18-20-20-18-40 unstable

#

Now its become 18-20-20-20-38

#

Lmao

#

I hate this ram

#

Thats honestly fascinating me

sudden torrent
#

Hey at least you didn't get the bin that tops out at 3466

stiff condor
#

The last timing is going down alot

stiff condor
#

Is it normal for last timing to go down?

#

Im getting it to34

sudden torrent
#

Yeah you could do as low as 32 depending on bin

stiff condor
#

Never mind, this keeps going

#

32

sudden torrent
#

But the IMC will probably ignore it and set 38

stiff condor
#

30

#

20s?

sudden torrent
#

Really though, at a point with certain timings the memory controller will just ignore the mobo and decide on its timing internally

stiff condor
#

Ah

stiff condor
stiff condor
#

I got a Tras of like 8

#

It decided no bueno

#

I want 21

#

I think im finally done. It couldn't post on 18-18-20-20-20, 18-20-18-20-20, and 18-20-20-18-20

sudden torrent
#

Still a lot better than stock

stiff condor
#

Stock was 3600c18

#

So not bad.

sudden torrent
#

Test it for stability, bench it, and call it good I say

stiff condor
#

How much of an improvement will I see in 18-20-20-20-21?

#

vs 18-24-24-24.

#

If primary matters that much

#

It seems like i won't see much no?

sudden torrent
#

The extra 200MHz matters too

#

Could be as much as a 5%+ gain depending on factors

stiff condor
#

Then is it better to have a faster 2nd timing?

#

or third timing, etc

#

I'd assume 18-20 would be worse then 18-18

#

but 18-20-18?. The loss seems marginal

sudden torrent
#

That gets into diminishing returns area. Sure it'll be faster but to get it stable will require a lot of time.

stiff condor
#

Gotcha.

#

As I said again.

#

Thank you so much for your help

#

Ill bench it, and see the stability

sudden torrent
#

No problem

stiff condor
#

NO STONKS

sudden torrent
#

Start loosening lol

stiff condor
#

Lmao

sudden torrent
#

Start with tRAS I'd say

stiff condor
#

That was 12 test mem errors

#

Lmao

sudden torrent
#

Most of the time a decent kit will do tRAS=tCL+tRCD, give or take 2

stiff condor
#

Ah

#

I did exactly as you said, and now on test 4, no errors

#

Lmao i just keep jinxing myself

#

Tras 36 unstable

stiff condor
#

Which from the looks of it not good

sudden torrent
#

Ok 18-22-22-20-40

#

If that's stable you can try 21

stiff condor
#

Ok from what im betting. You are right

#

I had to up the tras to 44 and put middle timings to 22

#

And now its not failing instantly

Ok, so I have my current build using the GSkill 128GB DDR4-4000 (pc4 32000) ram, so far I’m seeing a lot of people saying that they can’t get it to clock over 3600 MHz, but at the same time the rest of my hardware should support 4000 MHz, and I still can’t seem to get it there stably. Anything over 3600 and it’ll either crash, or not boot. Anyone have any tips?? All I’ve really done so far is Enable XMP, change the clock, and set Dram voltage to 1.4.

Try setting vccsa/vccio at 1.2v

lots of dual rank dimms means imc might need a bit more voltage

slate walrus
#

Thank you! I will give that a shot when I get home from work today. And will report back with results!

proven canopy

I would guess asus is auto'ing vccsa well over 1.4v, I would check to see what the auto set values are out of curiosity. 1.2/1.2 is usually a good starting point though.

dull ginkgo
#

1.25/1.25 might work if 1.2 is not enough

vccsa you can daily at 1.5, vccio is the one more likely to cause degradation over 1.35-1.4

Is changing the CPU multiplier good to oveclock? Or is it better to make a "full" overclock with a good guide (changing voltages, etc.)

short blade
#

changing multipliers without setting manual voltage is dangerous

#

don't overclock unless you're willing to put in the work to make sure you don't damage your system

#

read guides in the pinned messages

sudden torrent
#

It's usually better to not use the multiplier to overclock these days. Just adjusting the boost behavior on Ryzen Zen 2 or 3 is best, and using XTU on Intel to change the boost according to loaded cores.

#

There's exceptions of course, which is mostly all core workloads and benching.

slate walrus
proven canopy
#

That's high for io daily, also you might see negative scaling on either over some voltage

#

Most people start at 1.2/1.3 and work up from there

slate walrus
#

So then should I underclock it to 1.2 then?

#

It seemed to be ok booting with those settings, switching over to XMP2 from XMP, and upping Ram speed to 3800

#

🤞

#

Computer booted! Now to put it under some load and see if it crashes

slate walrus
#

Computer didn't crash, But I started a game and about 5 ish minutes into it, the game crashed. But the computer never did. trying a couple more boosts, little bit at a time. to see if I can get it to stabilize at this 3800 mhz ram speed.

dull ginkgo
#

Starting low and going higher can be better, sometimes you'll want more voltage, but there is such a thing as too much voltage and negative scaling, where higher voltage beyond a certain point hurts performance instead of helps performance. I was under the impression above 1.35v is where you might see negative scaling.
