For memory? No

modern walrus
#

I mean to like run at all

sudden torrent
#

If it passes POST on XMP it's probably fine

modern walrus
#

I'm an idiot

#

I meant XP

#

windows XP

sudden torrent
#

lol

#

I'm sure it can but might need to disable e-cores if it crashes

latent wolf
#

So I forget what program tells me what Die type my memory is

modern walrus
#

I've written XMP so many times it just happens immediately when I press shift+X nowadays

sudden torrent
#

Thaiphoon burner

sudden torrent
latent wolf
#

@sudden torrent Thank You I couldnt remember

modern walrus
#

what's your XMP?

potent fiber
sudden torrent
#

Hiren's Boot CD if you're curious

latent wolf
#

Zen 3 works really well with RAM clock speeds above 3000mhz

modern walrus
#

I've run Server 2012 & workstation before for benchmarks but not XP

modern walrus
sudden torrent
#

Now we're all just confused lol

sudden torrent
latent wolf
#

I dont see why it wouldnt other than the limited amount of RAM that the OS can use cause if I remember right it can only read up to 8gb of RAM in XP

modern walrus
#

okay forget everything I've said up to now. I was asking:
(1) @sudden torrent do you need any special drivers or anything to run Windows XP on Zen3; &
(2) @latent wolf what the XMP was on your memory sticks

potent fiber
#

The issue is perhaps mobo drivers and such. XP is 20 yrs old

latent wolf
#

XMP on mine is 3000 mhz I believe.

modern walrus
#

dammit I can't write XP lol

latent wolf
#

Not sure dont have XMP enabled

sudden torrent
modern walrus
latent wolf
#

Thaiphoon tells me Samsung but not what Die Type

modern walrus
#

well if you know the XMP profile, it might help

latent wolf
#

XMP Certified 1502mhz XMP revision 2.0

#

XMP Extreme Not Programmed

potent fiber
#

3000c15 probably

modern walrus
#

unfortunately the only way to be 100% sure it to take the heat spreaders off & see what's on the ICs themselves

latent wolf
#

Yeah I not messing with that I have RGB on my RAM

modern walrus
#

damn no XMP profile? what's the like model number?

#

no I wasn't suggesting you do that. that's not a good idea lol

latent wolf
#

CL 16-18-18-36 at 1.35 Volts

modern walrus
#

3000mhz?

latent wolf
#

Right now through Ai Tweaker I have it running at5 3200mhz in the BIOS but was trying to figure how far I can push the ram before system instability

#

Yeah 3000mhz

modern walrus
#

ah okay. Have you read thru the guide?

#

(pinned message)

latent wolf
#

Yeah Ive used the guide in the past and I know Ai Tweaker in the BIOS adjsuts the timings on its own based on the frequencyu I want

sudden torrent
#

I'm going to guess that it's either D-Die or a low binned C-Die

#

I dunno thats what Thaiphoon is telling me

modern walrus
#

I've never messed with C or D die but I think both suffer from the limitation of low voltage tolerance

sudden torrent
#

Yeah Thaiphoon isn't good at guessing samsung dies

latent wolf
#

Figures

#

It just knows its Samsung

sudden torrent
#

Yeah 1.35v is roughly the limit on both C and D

potent fiber
#

3000c16 alone tells us it's not great.

sudden torrent
#

If it's D, you probably won't get it above 3200 easily. C you can possibly get to 3600 c18.

latent wolf
#

I wanted to shoot for 34 or 3600 but the manufacturer has the same RAM I have at 4000mhz

modern walrus
#

with 5800x, you're limited to 3733 or 3800

latent wolf
#

Its stable at 3200 right now havent had a single issue

#

OK 3800 would be nice

modern walrus
#

rarely FCLK will do >1900mhz stable but very rarely

sudden torrent
latent wolf
#

I dunno its expensive RAM I know that much

#

Costed me 150 bucks for the 16gb I got

sudden torrent
#

You overpaid even if that's b-die lol

#

Similar ram is $50

latent wolf
#

Probably paid for the RGB more than anything

sudden torrent
#

I got my b-die rgb kit for $110

modern walrus
#

did you get it new?

sudden torrent
#

Yes

latent wolf
#

VisionTek OCPC RGB X3TREME 16GB DDR4 3000MHz DIMM – White

modern walrus
#

sorry I meant to ask @latent wolf

modern walrus
sudden torrent
#

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

modern walrus
#

ya I gotta use the reply feature better

#

will redouble my efforts

latent wolf
modern walrus
#

damn I had no idea Dell sold RGB memory

latent wolf
#

Yeah I didnt either till I found it

sudden torrent
#

They do, and they have some b-die kits even

latent wolf
#

Unit price was 114.99 then with Express shipping is what bumped it to 150

#

@sudden torrent You think I actually managed to get B die possibly then since I ordered it through Dell???

sudden torrent
#

Almost certainly not

latent wolf
#

It was a hope

sudden torrent
#

But if you want to test it you can set it to 3600 cas 16 at 1.4v and see if it boots

latent wolf
#

CL 16 at 3600mhz???

sudden torrent
#

Yeah, that's a cake walk for b-die

latent wolf
#

True

#

well Ill be back and see what happens

#

Ok Im back... Set at 3600 and Booted first try

sudden torrent
#

Color me surprised. You set cas latency too?

latent wolf
#

CL 16 is stock for the RAM I have

#

16-18-18-36

sudden torrent
latent wolf
#

It shows Freq 3600

sudden torrent
#

Ah yeah see? tCL 26

latent wolf
#

yeah So when I use the AI tweaker it changes them on their own. Good Old ASUS

#

Then again the system is definatly way more responsive to at 3600

sudden torrent
#

That's the infinity fabric at work

latent wolf
#

Oh yeah the infinity fabric with the RAM Clock

sudden torrent
#

At least we've ruled out the crappy d-die, but c-die can do 3600 too

latent wolf
#

yeah So either B or C then

sudden torrent
#

Yep. Set tCL (CAS) to 16 and DRAM voltage to 1.4 and you'll know which if it starts or not.

latent wolf
#

DRAm vOLTAGE IS SET FOR 1.4 ALREADY IUN THE bios

#

oops hit the caps lock

sudden torrent
#

Still set it manually

latent wolf
#

so set the RAM for the stock 16-18-18-36?

sudden torrent
#

For now just the cas

latent wolf
#

ok

sudden torrent
#

That's all you need to know what die it is

latent wolf
#

it should handle CL 16 with the rest of the timings staying the same then?

#

Im still somewhat new to OC RAM.. Been doing it according to the guide pinned to the channel

sudden torrent
#

Yeah. If it starts with cas at 16 then it's b-die and I can give you a set of timings that should work. If not it's c-die and you can use a different set of timings.

latent wolf
#

Ummm Its booting

sudden torrent
#

Check zentimings again

latent wolf
sudden torrent
#

Ok. Interesting.
Try 16-16-16-16-34

#

tRAS is the 34

latent wolf
#

Yeah I figured cause normally you only change 4 or 5 of the timing

sudden torrent
#

If this works you can just copy my settings lol, I have 5800X too

latent wolf
#

Nope no boot

sudden torrent
#

1.45v, same timings

latent wolf
#

Have to flash back the bios

sudden torrent
#

If that works it's 100% b-die

#

Just clear the cmos but yeah

latent wolf
#

I have a button on my mobo on the back

#

Fml I got DRAM light

#

Gotta jumper shunt the cmos

#

Ok let's see if this works

#

No joy

#

C die then at 3600 cl 16 with the rest being in the 20s. Still a very responsive timing

sudden torrent
#

Try 3600 16-20-20-20-36 1.38v
If that works it's just very well binned c-die

latent wolf
#

It booted

#

You would think with a ASUS ROG STRIX X570 Gaming II Mobo it would handle alot more but with the RAM being C Die I probably cant squeze much more performance out the RAM but can the CPU since its a Custom Liquid Cooling loop

sudden torrent
#

Yeah c-die is just average as far as memory goes. Certainly not worth what you paid for it, maybe half.

#

The CPU can definitely do better. Most 5800X can do 3800 14-14-14-28 or better.

latent wolf
#

Im looking on the list and see 3800 on C Die with timings of 18-18-21-21-39-65-1T

sudden torrent
#

That'll require other tuning like vSoC and cad bus resistance

latent wolf
#

ah

sudden torrent
#

If you somehow get lucky enough to have a kit that does that speed

latent wolf
#

ALso on a R9 3900X

sudden torrent
#

Yeah that can do it too but it's a little harder

#

And takes a little luck to have it stable on the infinity fabric

latent wolf
#

Yeah I think I will stick with where its at since I know I can set the CPU for 42x instead of the stock 38x

sudden torrent
#

I'd recommend running a stability test or two

latent wolf
#

On The RAM??

sudden torrent
#

Yes

latent wolf
#

I have AIDA64

sudden torrent
#

That's a benchmark, not a stability test. But it is good to run.

latent wolf
#

aida64 Extreme has a stress test option

sudden torrent
#

Try the anta extreme profile, it'll run for a few hours. A single error means it fails.

sudden torrent
latent wolf
#

Stress/System Stability Test

#

I have Trial Version Right now since It came on the Support Disc with my new Motherboard

#

I somehow fried my TUF Gaming X570 Plus WiFi motherboard which fried my RX-5500XT Gpu at the same time

sudden torrent
#

Oof

latent wolf
#

Yeah

sudden torrent
#

You're allowed to post those pics here too you know

latent wolf
#

Not from OC either

#

Oh

sudden torrent
#

Those pins straight up melted though, sheesh

latent wolf
#

yeah I know

sudden torrent
#

One must have bent and shorted on another pin is my guess

latent wolf
#

Which is weird cauise the system hadnt been pulled apart since it was put together over 6 months ago

sudden torrent
#

Dust conducts electricity too, was it cleaned at least once a month or so?

latent wolf
#

as often as i had a chance

#

system wasnt run everyday

Huh. What a freak accident then.

oh i jusr ran a bunch of power shell scripts lol

#

fair enough

modern walrus
sterile flame
#

stuff like

#

uninstall onedrive

modern walrus
#

oh ya that's not terrible

#

it's when you like remove windows security & stuff

#

which is great for benchmarks on a benchmark partition

sterile flame
#

working out how to use the scripts that you sent lol

modern walrus
#

but not advisable for daily use connected to the internet

sterile flame
#

yeah fair enough

modern walrus
#

I will warn you tho, I ran all of those on a benchmark partition & windows was kinda messed up

#

There's this thing called like ReviOS that is supposed to be a stripped version of windows for gamers or something but it was kinda goofy when I ran it too

sterile flame

I'm back and I've done it!

#

28063 without overclocking the P cores

#

Loadline and balancing all on auto but an adaptive offset of -.085, energy efficient turbos turned on, thermal velocity tuning to decrease voltage when temps are lower and the chip feels more efficient and E cores all at 4 ghz

#

Draws ≈180 with the adaptive offset taking 1.255 volts to a range of 1.14 and 1.17 under cinebench 76°C

#

Overclocking the E cores and undervolting the P cores unbalanced this thing crazy

#

Stock 12900k geekbench 5 is 1990 single and 16000 multi I ended up with 1930 single and 19000 multi

#

I'll happily take that trade off

digital dirge
frigid cedar
#

Oh that's awesome Definitely saves money to tune yeah?

digital dirge
#

Yeah lol.

#

I'm surprised you aren't trying to push yours for the best it can do.

#

Daily*

sudden torrent
#

Sounds like the idea was to lower temps while gaining a bit of performance. Since the e-cores are disabled.

frigid cedar
#

Well with a 12900k speed why not improve efficiency yknow?

sudden torrent
#

Yep, they tend to respond pretty well to undervolting

digital dirge
#

Ecores are disabled?

sudden torrent
#

Ah no I misread

frigid cedar
#

E cores are set the way they'd be on 12900ks being all 4ghz but the p cores are undervolted

digital dirge
#

My e cores are 4ghz. My voltage is 1.27 under 100% load

sudden torrent
#

Might as well try to lock your p-core clock at about your stable voltage and see how high it goes without generating more heat. The boost table isn't great for undervolts.

digital dirge
#

P cores 5.2

frigid cedar
#

I've got a 20+1+2 vrm so I certainly could oc instead of uv

sudden torrent
#

In this case it would be both, OC+UV

frigid cedar
#

True enough

sudden torrent
#

12900k can totally do with less voltage with almost no performance tradeoff

frigid cedar
#

Too bad it's gigabyte and not asus imagine 12900k undervolting down the whole curve!

sudden torrent
#

That's why I suggested locking the voltage

#

If you set it to 1.25 manual it should droop below 1.2, so it'll still be at your stable voltage while being cooler and less spiky

lavish tundra
#

ASUS 💀

frigid cedar
#

I've seen stock 12900k load line to like 1.36 and only get 26xxx in cinebench so I am pretty prideful of my 1.255 with 28063 at 1.255 offset to 1.17

#

Can't forget the offset lol

frigid cedar
sudden torrent
#

The natural behavior of the CPU and VRM is to reduce voltage under load, which we call droop. You can control how much droop you have using LLC. So it'll go as low as you need it to.

frigid cedar
#

Oh and just an update since we've talked last I may or may not have ruined my memory training lol

sudden torrent
#

Sounds like gigabyte to me

frigid cedar
#

I fiddled with my trdrd and twrwr trying to get more and accidentally made my 6000mhz cl36 1T unstable

sudden torrent
#

Yeah I've done that before lol. Then you try to input your last known good settings and it doesn't train.
Only solution is to start from scratch.

frigid cedar
#

Instead of fighting or reseating it I might just slap 1.26 or 1.275 vdd/vddq to make it stable since it doesn't work at 1.25 no more

#

I was happy with it and more crappy gigabyte issues the z690 doesn't have an option for a memory training voltage boost like my old msi board

sudden torrent
#

That is pretty nice on the MSI ones, I can attest to that. Just max out the memory training times and such and let it roll.

frigid cedar
#

I'd have my msi board boost to 1.4 to make my tight timing 1.35 more reliable when testing random settings

#

My i5-9600k was r0 stepping instead of p0 so it was binned for an i9 but cut down for production while p0 is designed for i5

#

So I'd just abuse the controller binning

#

Also an answer to earlier yeah im just gonna redo the overclock step by step and hope that works

#

Maybe if I run it at 5700 ot 5800mhz for a while getting it set back to 6000 will go smoother

dull ginkgo
#

@short blade any way of telling TM5 to not close itself when it errors out? was confused on why it just disappeared while messing with things, tried again, 20 min later, gone again, and so I watched it for 10 min to find it was just having a lot of errors. Or perhaps just set up a custom filter for event viewer for tm5..?

short blade
#

you sure the system didn't just reboot?

dull ginkgo
#

Yes

#

Didn't have to log back in or anything, just tm5 disappeared

#

Discord was open in the background and still was

short blade
#

weird, never happened to me before

#

well, if it has more than 0 errors then you already know what you need to know

also, wtf, I run it again to get video proof and it goes ~40 min without any errors

Yea...

sterile flame
#

do tertiary timings change when you change to a different mobo?

#

in other words can I dial in the same tertiary values from my previous mobo onto my new mobo without impacting the stability?

faint tangle
#

i am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to this, but i think so yes, assuming its the same kit of ram

sterile flame
#

question is am I willing to bet $275 to see if it's stable

#

Selling garbage-tier DDR4 dies overclocked to 3200 CL22 so people who don’t know better will see the speed and buy it, all while marketing it as being “for creators”, is genuinely fraudulent in my book, no matter how much I like Teamgroup’s other products

Also just upgrade to a k?

sterile flame
#

12700K is alright in terms of price when you buy the OEM version but the boards are pretty pricy

#

Also there's the issue of how do I flip a 12700F lol

#

can probably make it work but its a bit of a gamble as to how much I can balance my losses

sudden torrent
#

You can do the same level of non-k overclocking on a good B660 that you can do on an average Z690. Which is about 3-4%.
The ones with external clock gens that are getting up to 130-135 bclk are way expensive, and yes I don't think any are DDR4.

kind walrus
#

B660M Mortar Max is a new one in that video and it's DDR4

#

It comes with the Renesas clockgen chip

sudden torrent
#

Then that's the only exception I'm aware of and it's still not a Z690

zenith palm
#

But still

#

Bclk oc requires changing ram speed accordingly too which is a pain

kind walrus
#

No box just chip

#

Oh right

i could buy @kind walrus's MSI unify-x

unify x has it iirc

It does

Rather, the board works well for non-k alder lake OC

@proven canopy you got any tips for ocing amd 6000 series cards? having trouble forcing higher power limit, I increased it in mpt but it resets everything to default whenever I actually apply the limit in driver

you use any other apps to OC?

If it's a PSU with 16 gauge cables then it can handle tons of current no issue. Like 150W per 12v input, so 300W on 6 pin and 450W on 8 pin plus slot power. The ones on the PSU tier list that are gold A tier have 16 gauge.

Mmm, do you have a caliper to measure the cable thickness?

Or is it a Corsair one?

#

Ok I’m here

modern walrus
#

ya if you read the guide, you'll see the first step is to set all secondaries & tertiaries to auto & try to get the highest frequency you can with reasonable IO/SA & DRAM voltages

#

on MSI, you can go to advanced DRAM settings & enable Round Trip Latency which will help with latency

cedar cypress
#

Ok ok so only set tcp trcd tryna tras trfc

#

Rest auto?

modern walrus
#

ya tCL, tRCD, tRP, tRAS

#

you can leave XMP enabled cuz apparently it helps run higher frequencies (according to the guide)

cedar cypress
#

Advanced dram configurations for round trip latency?

#

Maybe mine doesn’t have it

#

What timings did u say to try again

#

18 18 38?

modern walrus
#

tCL 18 tRCD 19 tRP 19 tRAS 39 for now

cedar cypress
#

Trfc

#

Is 374

#

On auto

modern walrus
#

you just want them loose so they don't limit how high you can put frequency

#

ya later you can adjust that down tho

cedar cypress
#

Dram reference clock

#

100x or 133x

modern walrus
#

leave it on auto if you can

#

otherwise you can set to 100mhz & once you get the highest frequency you can to run, you can set it to 133mhz to see if you can go slightly higher

cedar cypress
#

Ok so technically 133 is better?

#

4133 booted up quick

#

No restarts

modern walrus
#

not necessarily

#

cuz if the highest you can get is, say, 4266 thats with 133mhz reference clock

#

meanwhile if you set it to 100mhz, 4200 will be highest

cedar cypress
#

Ahhh

#

I see

#

U want me to try 4266?

modern walrus
#

you may want to do 4200 first but ya why not it's not that crazy of a jump

#

it's when you like POST 3800 so you try 4200 next that it might've done better if you did like 3800, 4000, 4133, then 4200

#

better to kind of climb the ladder

cedar cypress
#

4266 booted fast also and ah yes I understand

modern walrus
#

it's like the IMC needs to build its confidence lol

I have yet to hear an explanation as to why that works but I imagine it has something to do with training? lol

#

Do I need to test or keep trying

#

Ahahah yes I wouldn’t put it past technology is odd

modern walrus
#

for now just see how high it'll go then once you hit a wall you can try to add more voltage or back up one setting & work on that

cedar cypress
#

Ok got it

modern walrus
#

I find backing up one setting is usually the best for daily cuz you really don't wanna be running really hot with high voltage

cedar cypress
#

Will it be harder to run with my cpu oc?

#

Yeah my old oc is saved no worries!

modern walrus
#

eh not necessarily but with memory OC you want to eliminate as many variables as you can

#

& what's a stable CPU OC with memory at [x] frequency might not be stable with memory at [y] frequency

cedar cypress
#

Wow 4400 booted up

#

And ahh ok ok

modern walrus
#

& CPU oc is far less time consuming & really only has like three variables (frequency, voltage, & LLC)

cedar cypress
#

You think I should keep going higher or leave it 440

#

4400

modern walrus
#

so it's easier to get memory on point then go back to CPU

#

you might as well see where your limit is

cedar cypress
#

Yeah that is definitely a better route

#

I didn’t know it would go this high

modern walrus
#

some 10900Ks can go pretty high

cedar cypress
#

Lol

#

My oc is only 5.0

#

Not that good

#

For cpu

modern walrus
#

my 10900K not so much but hopefully you get lucky lol

#

did you set load line calibration?

cedar cypress
#

Yeah I believe it was 3 or 4

#

I’d have to check

modern walrus
#

also on 10900K, cooling is a major, major factor

cedar cypress
#

On 5.0 after cpl hours on unlimited it hits 76max

#

So maybe loading into the game

modern walrus
#

I can do 51x but only because I'm on a custom loop, delidded, & running direct die cooling with liquid metal

cedar cypress
#

Or something

modern walrus
#

& it's still a furnace

#

76C isn't bad

cedar cypress
#

But during testing it hits way to hot… and lol yeah I have nothing like that

#

😂

modern walrus
#

some 10900Ks will run 52x on an AIO

cedar cypress
#

During testing it hits like 90max on occt

#

And I get an error

modern walrus
#

WHEA error?

cedar cypress
#

I’m not sure it was just that it failed

#

I think maybe whea

#

I’d have to try again

modern walrus
#

ah okay. Do you have HWiNFO installed?

cedar cypress
#

Yeah

#

4533 success

modern walrus
#

oh okay cuz at the bottom it'll have error count

#

I think L1/L3 error means insufficient voltage for CPU

#

but it could also be a memory error or all sorts of other fun

cedar cypress
#

Like the ram is to much for the cpu etc or

#

Cuz 5.0 with the ram oc worked but 5.1 didn’t

modern walrus
#

at least Intel is gracious enough to crash under load. AMD usually crashes at idle when OC too high lol

cedar cypress
#

Wow 4666

#

Worked

modern walrus
#

that could also be an issue with the motherboard

cedar cypress
#

Yeah and is crazy lol

#

To be fair

#

In this board

#

I didn’t try

#

5.1

#

Since I switched

#

Lol

modern walrus
#

I had a Z490 MSI Gaming Carbon Wifi that I could not get 10900K to run 51x on

cedar cypress
#

I just thought old board didn’t work

modern walrus
#

then I had to RMA it cuz of failed BIOS update

cedar cypress
#

So it was cpu

modern walrus
#

& got a Z590 Aorus Ultra that did 51x fairly easily

cedar cypress
#

Wow ok I definitely need to try then

modern walrus
#

damn 4666 is nice

cedar cypress
#

On this board

#

For 5.1

modern walrus
#

like really nice lol

#

I don't think throwing the kitchen sink I can get 4600 to run on my 10900K

cedar cypress
#

I had z490 p and 5.1 failed. But now a z590 a pro

#

So maybe it’ll work on 5.1

#

And lmfao

#

4666 on 1.5 dram is that enough

#

Lol

modern walrus
#

lol for real even with IO voltage at crazy high 1.4 4600 might work

#

will 4700 POST?

#

(I think that's the next one up I forget)

#

4666 is nice tho

#

but you may wanna see if higher will POST so you can get a sense of where your limit is

cedar cypress
#

Lol

modern walrus
#

cuz if 4666 is the highest it'll go, you may want to back up slightly cuz I've found trying to tune at the max (especially for daily) is really frustrating

cedar cypress
#

4800 went standby mode for like a second or two

#

And then I shake mouse

#

And it turned on

#

That’s limit?

modern walrus
#

damn

#

I hate my 10900K even more rn wth

cedar cypress
#

All the others didn’t do standby

#

Gahahaha

#

Should I keep going still even tho it went standby

modern walrus
#

at 1.5v dram too? heck

cedar cypress
#

Yeah

modern walrus
#

you're on your own I can't handle this

#

jk lol

cedar cypress
#

😂😂😂😂

#

I appreciate your help and time!

#

This can’t mess up ram trying 4933

#

?

modern walrus
#

actual picture of my 10900K after delid

cedar cypress
#

LOOOL

kind walrus
modern walrus
cedar cypress
#

Wow so the whole time I though my cpu was bad cuz it didn’t run 5.1 but it was probably my asus z490 p was bad

modern walrus
#

heads up tho: it is possible to mess up your windows install tuning memory

cedar cypress
#

What do u mean

#

Do a fresh install after?

#

That’s fine

modern walrus
#

like you can make it all slow & derpy

#

oh good okay

#

some people are like muh gamezzzf

cedar cypress
#

Ahhahaha

modern walrus
#

I usually install a separate windows partition just for memory overclock

cedar cypress
#

Yeah bro I thought a windows install would help …

modern walrus
#

I can't even count how many times I've reinstalled windows in the last year

cedar cypress
#

Cuz my game felt slower after oc etc

#

But it didn’t so I will do a fresh install

#

Still

modern walrus
#

that's probably because you took away 400mhz of bandwidth

#

despite how easily your CPU apparently handles 400mhz increases, 400mhz is significant lol

cedar cypress
#

I did try an hour with 1.37 v core and 1.49 dram and it did feel better but maybe placebo? Hard to say after an hour

#

Oh wow I didn’t know that

modern walrus
#

ya I mean look at DDR5 as an example

#

those timings are like cl 30

cedar cypress
#

Sheeesh!!!

#

Wtf

modern walrus
#

oh & to go back to your question before

#

gear 1 runs 1:1 memory clock & gear 2 runs 2:1

cedar cypress
#

Oops

#

4900

#

Automatic repair

#

Lol

modern walrus
#

11th & 12th gen have gear 1 & 2

#

10th gen always runs 1:1

cedar cypress
#

Ahhh I see

modern walrus
#

my 11600K 1:1 maxes out at 3600mhz

#

which is just

#

I can't find the words to express how awful that is

cedar cypress
#

Yeah that sounds bad l Hahahah

modern walrus
#

thing is tho, it's about average

cedar cypress
#

The automatic repair said something about apps etc messed up

#

Or something

modern walrus
#

for me, worst case is clear CMOS & start over

cedar cypress
#

I had a restore

#

It restored it

#

I guess

modern walrus
#

but if you're on the brink of 4900,

cedar cypress
#

Which isn’t bad cuz

#

It was restored yday night lol

modern walrus
#

damn I mean you could either try bumping to 1.55 or stay with like 4800

cedar cypress
#

I hit like 51 on 1.49

modern walrus
#

which holy crap I can't believe you can run that with easy tbh

cedar cypress
#

Prob should stay

#

😂

#

Oh wait

#

I think the 4933

#

Broke windows

#

But 4900 is working

#

Yeah

#

4900 is on

#

Rn

modern walrus
#

it might POST with more DRAM voltage but feels like getting greedy at this point lol

cedar cypress
#

Yeah this is good fossure unless I get a cooler or something

#

Since I know my temp is already not the best

#

Should I load into private match

modern walrus
#

just to give you an example, there's a trident royal bdie kit that is 4800c17-19-19-39 at 1.6v

cedar cypress
#

Pc screen went standby mode 4900 no bueno I think

#

Lol

#

Hahahahha

#

Do I just restart pc go into bios

#

And what’s to high of a temp for ram?

modern walrus
#

I mean it might if you bump to 1.55 DRAM & maybe like 1.32 IO & 1.36 SA (SA you can run up to like 1.49 if you wanted but I'd keep it below 1.45)

cedar cypress
#

And wow

#

My kit is good lol

#

Or something

modern walrus
#

bdie usually doesn't like to be over 40C

cedar cypress
#

Yeah it’s already 50 on 1.49…

#

):

#

Wait

modern walrus
#

depends on the kit & silicon & such

cedar cypress
#

I think 44

#

Actually

modern walrus
#

the kit I run will be flawless on testing until it hits 48C

#

then instant BSOD

cedar cypress
#

Ohhh

#

Yeah mine doesn’t crash or anything

#

I thought maybe temp would cause input lag

#

Or rendering?

#

Issues

modern walrus
#

usually it'll just crash completely when it's hot like that

#

or BSOD

#

hot as in too hot for the kit

cedar cypress
#

Ohhh so it’s fine then?

modern walrus
#

it isn't like CPU where there's a set TJ max that it throttles or anything

#

well if it's at 44C just existing, it'll probably be considerably hotter once you load it up with OCCT or something of the like

cedar cypress
#

It’s doing automatic repair again lol

modern walrus
#

ya I would probably do 4700 or 4800

#

or even 4666

#

cuz when you tighten timings it makes it hotter

cedar cypress
#

So I had 5.0 with 3600 cl14 at 44 ram temp

#

After like 4-5hours

#

Hours

modern walrus
#

now if you wanna do some crazy benchmarking or something you can floor it like that since benchmarks don't last long

cedar cypress
#

Oh no no

#

Just for gaming

#

Doing 4666

#

Should I do a test on it

#

Or go into a private match

modern walrus
#

ya well that's another thing like you can have it ostensibly stable from memory testing but when you add CPU heat & GPU heat to the mix inside the case end up crashing

cedar cypress
#

Ohhhhh

modern walrus
#

I'd test it to see how hot it gets

cedar cypress
#

Hmm now 4600 is crashing now did I mess something up lol

#

It won’t boot

#

Says automatic repair

#

Or that’s the fresh install I need

modern walrus
#

no that's just RAM being RAM... sometimes you'll have a "hole" where it just doesn't seem to like certain frequencies

cedar cypress
#

4900 messed it up

#

Oh ok ok

#

So just keep lower it

#

Now

#

Keep lowering**

modern walrus
#

also, if you watch buildzoid videos, he'll say how sometimes it'll POST a frequency but then won't seem to want to do it again but if you run it lower & ramp back up it'll be fine

cedar cypress
#

Or do I think it’s windows

#

Oh hhh

#

So technically unstable?

#

Or no

modern walrus
#

ya it's definitely something you get like a feel for like swinging a baseball bat or something

#

well test it & see

cedar cypress
#

4666 automatic repair. 4600 automatic repair

#

Even tho they worked before

#

So I should do

#

4000 default

#

And then ramp it up

#

Cuz it feels like 4933 causes the issues lol

modern walrus
#

ya drop to 4000 or so then bring it back up to like 4400 or 4600 I'd say

cedar cypress
#

Caused

#

**

#

Also is it possible to have a bad ram kit that passes tests etc but feels slower

#

Oh

#

Windows is broke

#

I think

#

4000 won’t boot

#

Lol

modern walrus
#

4933 is really high. I don't think that would POST on my 10900K with 1.5 IO/1.6 SA/2.0 DRAM lol

#

try shutting down, turning off PSU then pressing power button a few times & holding it for like 20 seconds to clear capacitors

cedar cypress
#

Should I do startup repair

modern walrus
#

then turn it back on

cedar cypress
#

Ok I’ll do that

modern walrus
#

if it says "your PC couldn't shut down correctly" it's just mad about last shut down & you can press enter to keep going

cedar cypress
#

It went off

#

Goood good

modern walrus
#

if it says "your PC couldn't start correctly" press ESC to go back to BIOS cuz your settings aren't gonna work lol

cedar cypress
#

Yeah no luck

#

Ok so

#

Do I turn xmp off

modern walrus
#

ya try that & let it POST defaults

#

that way you can see if it's a windows error or board just acting up

cedar cypress
#

Yeah it won’t start

#

With xmp off

modern walrus
#

okay try shutting down & clearing CMOS

#

with power off & capacitors discharged

#

could also try loading optimized defaults before doing CMOS clear

#

since CMOS clear is a pain

cedar cypress
#

I didn’t down voltage

#

Cud that be why

modern walrus
#

ya set those all to auto

#

or load optimized cuz it'll do all that for you

#

if you press F1 it'll show you which F key loads optimized

cedar cypress
#

Ok let me see

#

Bad system confit

#

Confit

#

Confit

#

Config

#

Won’t start still

#

Restored defaults

#

And I did cmos

modern walrus
#

when it tries to start windows?

cedar cypress
#

I think

#

Yeah

modern walrus
#

did it say BIOS has been reset after CMOS clear?

cedar cypress
#

Am I not doing right cmos clear

#

The pins

#

Or whatever

modern walrus
#

you short the CMOS header with something metal thing

cedar cypress
#

Yeah I think I did

modern walrus
#

ya that's it.

cedar cypress
#

It didn’t say cmos header

#

It says like

modern walrus
#

damn never seen windows get corrupted that fast

cedar cypress
#

Did another restore

modern walrus
#

highest I've seen 10900K POST & quickest I've seen windows get borked

cedar cypress
#

Seems to work

#

Let me try

#

To 4000

#

And see

modern walrus
#

so it hasn't gotten into windows yet?

#

like at all since 4933?

cedar cypress
#

It just did

#

I did a recovery

modern walrus
#

okay that's good news

#

we're on the right track again lol

cedar cypress
#

😂😂😂

modern walrus
#

don't forget to set primaries again btw lol

#

& IO/SA

cedar cypress
#

Hahah I will try 4800? Since it worked

#

Or no

#

4900 worked

#

4933 didn’t

#

Or I should do 4666

modern walrus
#

I'd say 4666 or 4700 is probably safe bet since it POSTs so high

cedar cypress
#

My 5.0 oc was 1.45vcore 1.3 io and 1.3 sa

#

Timings were 18 19 19 39?

modern walrus
#

ya those are fine

#

just temporary

cedar cypress
#

Windows booted but blue screen and frozen lol

modern walrus
#

are you setting CPU oc or leaving it default?

cedar cypress
#

Default just 1.5 dram

#

1.3 SA

#

1.3io

modern walrus
#

windows might be hecked

cedar cypress
#

From the 4933

modern walrus
#

it's possible ya. Try like 3800c16-17-17-37 or something even safer

#

or don't set any voltages or timings & just enable XMP

cedar cypress
#

Did recovery again

#

It booted

#

4666

#

Hmm

#

Restarted oc twice

#

Pc**

#

Seems to be working

modern walrus
#

open cmd with admin privileges & do:

sfc /scannow

cedar cypress
#

Kk

modern walrus
#

after that:

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

#

did it find integrity violations or errors?

cedar cypress
#

Ok and also did u see my question ? I got a z trident ram kit 4000 cl16 18 18 39 for gf and it feels slower than her old 32 16 18

#

And yeah

#

Her kit passed testing

modern walrus
#

oh sorry no I missed that

#

was worried I left you worse off then when you initially asked for help with all this haha

cedar cypress
#

Hahahahha

modern walrus
#

16-18-18-39 isn't bdie like your 4000c16-16-16-36 kit so you won't get as good OC results but what CPU is she on & what's the XMP on her kit?

#

oh & wait let me rewind a second, your XMP is 4000c16-16-16-36?

cedar cypress
#

My xmp is 16 16 16 36

#

Hers is 16 18 18 39.. but hers feel slower than her old kid 3200 16 18 18 36

#

#

Like input lag

#

I tried it on my pc also

#

Like a week ago

#

Just thought it’s bad ram

#

Or is there something it needs

modern walrus
#

16-18-18-38 is probably hynix CJR I'd guess but in any event, is it possible to see her secondary timings? I'd guess those are the likely culprit

#

also do either of you have any optional updates in windows update?

cedar cypress
#

Yo think ofnit

#

To

#

Think

#

I didn’t have those Xeon updates

#

U said to do

#

Could that fix it

#

I didn’t have those installed

modern walrus
#

I always do those random driver updates cuz I really don't think they've actually ever hurt me other than wasting storage space cuz they don't do anything lol

cedar cypress
#

True. I guess it wouldn’t hurt o try it again later.

#

My fps is about 60 fps lower

#

On multiplayer gpu bound

#

Gpu time is 4 tho

#

So idk why my time is 4

#

Usually 3

#

Cpu time is good at 2ms

#

Maybe my recovery messed up my gpu driver

#

Let me ddu

#

Or should I do a ram test

#

Ram is on 4666 18 19 19 39

modern walrus
#

which GPU?

cedar cypress
#

3080ti

modern walrus
#

do a RAM test

cedar cypress
#

FPS went from 320 to 275

modern walrus
#

kinda pointless to get everything else all good if RAM OC might mess it up anyway

#

since you still have all the secondaries & stuff to do

cedar cypress
#

Could be the

modern walrus
#

assuming this passes lol

cedar cypress
#

Recovery on windows

#

Messed it up

#

Cuz it changed my driver

modern walrus
#

ya it could be a multitude of things

cedar cypress
#

From 512.95 to an older one

#

But I’ll test it quick

#

Testmem5?

#

Or any will be ok

modern walrus
#

I find the easiest way to test RAM stability is to run ycruncher 2.5b

#

cuz that's so intense, it'll throw coefficient error if you're not stable

#

TM5 is the best test tho for sure

#

with either anta777 config or any of these two:

cedar cypress
#

Screen standby mode

#

Without trying to test etc

#

Lol

#

Lower it?

#

Pc restarted back to windows now

modern walrus
#

well see how the testing goes

#

if it immediately starts racking up errors, I'd drop to like 4400

cedar cypress
#

Yeah 5 seconds

#

Error in test #1

#

It said

modern walrus
#

well you can either increase DRAM voltage or drop frequency

cedar cypress
#

If my game isn’t restarting at 44temp

#

Should I increase dram

#

Or nah

modern walrus
#

but if you're already getting errors at 4666c18, it's gonna take a lot of voltage to get you to like 4666c16 or lower

cedar cypress
#

Ahhh

#

Not worth

#

So 4333?

modern walrus
#

try 4400 first

cedar cypress
#

I mean

#

4400

#

Lol there’s no 4333

#

Haha

modern walrus
#

ya I think it goes 4300 then 4400

#

can't remember if there's a 4466 but I don't think so

cedar cypress
#

4500 and 4533

modern walrus
#

me & maf don't get along too well lol

cedar cypress
#

From 4666

modern walrus
#

oh ya big jump

cedar cypress
#

Loll

#

Windows acting weird

modern walrus
#

I mean if you can daily 4400c16 or even 4400c17 you're doing pretty darn good

cedar cypress
#

I click something

#

Does nothing

#

Lol

#

It’ll like

modern walrus
#

at 4400?

cedar cypress
#

Make a box

#

When I click

#

Keyboard works tho

#

Yeah 4400

dull ginkgo
#

Btw, thought about actively cooling ram?

cedar cypress
#

It’s probably just windows I’ll do a fresh install of this test pasts

#

Restraint pc

#

Restating

#

Restarting

#

And @dull ginkgo

#

What do u have in mind

dull ginkgo
#

4000 16-16-16 1.4v decent chance of b die

#

Just having a fan there

cedar cypress
#

It’s doing this by it self

#

I didn’t click

#

Right when I open windows lol

dull ginkgo
#

Weird

cedar cypress
#

And I could try… is it hard to setup

modern walrus
#

you gotta kinda make something up unless you 3d print a bracket or buy one of the like 3 options that exist lol

cedar cypress
#

Hahahah ohhh

modern walrus
#

what DRAM are you at?

#

I forget

cedar cypress
#

4400…

#

4666

#

Worked

#

No issues

modern walrus
#

sorry voltage I mean

cedar cypress
#

But failed test

#

1.5

#

And 4400 I can’t do anything

#

Except keyboard works

#

Nothing like that on 4666

#

Tho

modern walrus
#

try 1.55

cedar cypress
#

Kk

modern walrus
#

like personally I mean

#

not generally lol

cedar cypress
#

Yeah it’s windows.. cuz I tried to click on screen to get to where it says enter password

#

Didn’t work.

#

Click on the power button to restart pc or shutdown

#

Or sleep

#

It let me do that

#

On the windows password screen

dull ginkgo
cedar cypress
#

Going to do voltage

modern walrus
cedar cypress
#

Didn’t touch anything

#

And windows working now

#

Lol

#

Was going to do voltage

#

And it starting working

#

Going to do ram test

#

Slow like u said tho

#

Windows is

#

Reinstall is quick anyways

#

But slow could be voltage?

#

1minute in

#

No errors

#

Better than 10 seconds

#

On 4666

#

😂

modern walrus
#

could be voltage. I've spend a lot of time playing with IO/SA/DRAM in the past

#

I hope you don't ahve to endure that lol

cedar cypress
#

Worse case I go to 4000 since u said it’s better

#

Than 3600

modern walrus
cedar cypress
#

It past all tests first round

#

How long should I let it go

modern walrus
#

tried my luck with this thing which was eh

modern walrus
#

assuming you have temp sensors on your memory

#

& see what temps look like & at least watch it until stabilizes

cedar cypress
#

Temp 40 atm

#

1.492 voltage

modern walrus
#

ya run it for maybe like 20-30 minutes & see where it ends up

#

I mean I guess we could tune some settings first then run it for a little while too tho

cedar cypress
#

Yeah let’s do that

#

Windows feels fine now

#

Maybe he’s warming up

#

🤣

modern walrus
#

you never really know with windows

#

it could've been installing some important keyboard update in the background

cedar cypress
#

Went in a game

modern walrus
#

which TM5 config are you using btw?

cedar cypress
#

And fps is good

#

I used both

#

For 5min

#

That u sent

modern walrus
#

PCBdestroyer tends to heat it quickest

cedar cypress
#

It was 40 on PCs

#

Pcb

modern walrus
#

ah okay well you'll wanna do more like 30 minutes going forward but you can mess with a few timings before that

cedar cypress
#

Sounds good

modern walrus
#

try tRDD_L/S & tFAW at 4/4/16

cedar cypress
#

And without cpu oc

#

My game actually feels smoother

#

Is that normal v

#

With the higher ram

modern walrus
#

yes

cedar cypress
#

What the

#

Optimizers for warzone said 3609

#

3600*

#

Cl14

#

Is best

#

Smh

modern walrus
#

well that's one size fits all but maybe

cedar cypress
#

But

#

Maybe they say that

#

Cuz isn’t it easier

#

To make stable

#

?

modern walrus
#

I don't think any game would say 4000+ is optimum anyway cuz I don't think the overwhelming majority of people do not run that high

modern walrus
cedar cypress
#

True

#

Probably common

modern walrus
#

I mean common but also expensive

#

32gb kit is around $300 for 3600c14

cedar cypress
#

Like they said get

#

Cl16 18-19 kit

#

Then oc it

#

3600 cl14

#

What timings should I try

modern walrus
#

did you set tRDD_S/L & tFAW?

cedar cypress
#

No

modern walrus
#

okay ya do 4/4/16 on those respectively

dull ginkgo
#

might also want to do cwl at the start?

modern walrus
#

if you do tCWL I think you'd have to bring primaries down to earth too

#

cuz you're at 4400c18 rn or what? I forget

cedar cypress
#

I can’t find

#

The s/aL

#

S/l

#

Yeah 4400 c18

#

1.5dram

modern walrus
#

tRRD_S & tRRD_L

#

oh wait

cedar cypress
#

Yeah I don’t have those

modern walrus
#

on MSI it's like tRRD & something goofy iirc

cedar cypress
#

I have L

#

But not S

modern walrus
#

ya under them tho?

cedar cypress
#

MR?

#

Maybe

modern walrus
#

ya tRRD & tRRD_L

#

it does the same with tWTR & tCCD

cedar cypress
#

Kk
