Kan jy die 5800x3d oc?
Ek dink nie gewone OC is moontlik nie, ek het even met n dynamic vcore probeer speel in die begin en dis asof hy dit net heeltemal ignore het.

Op curve optimizer in die bios het ek in die heel begin -5, -10 en -15 getry en hy het my die vinger gegee. Ding het nog heeltemal stock gerun.

Nou op -30 het ek actually n verskil gekry waar hy nou konstant 4450mhz all core boost. Daai is maar al wat werk sover, lyk nie of mens enige iets anders kan regkry nie lol
 
Why do I need DDR5 lol?
Everything else in your system is "the best money can buy" seems a shame the effect of ram wasn't appreciated as DDR5 is just better than DDR4. Hynix Mdie and A-die specifically although lots of performance to find on Samsung 16GB bdie if you're willing to tune for lower timings.
 
Quick run with my current settings.

i7 13700K (DDR5 6400CL32) undervolted by 0.075mV and power limited to 253w.
Zotac RTX4090 Trinity OC power limited 85% with +150MHz core and +1250MHz Mem.

 

i have not played with much yet. fresh install ... stock everything
Make sure you do all the drivers, BIOS updates, etc. that you need to do to ensure the cores are being allocated correctly.

Also lol. Where did you get one already :ROFLMAO:

Also remember to make sure your Resizable bar is enabled, by default that setting is disabled for some reason. Not sure about the new mobos though

from a land far far away :) ... yeah something is up. running cyberpunk. massive stutters ... need to check to ensure everything has been updated
 
I see both of you run Corsair Dimms, what made the corsair appeal to you? I was eyeing this kit : G.Skill F5-6400J3239G16GX2-TZ5RK Trident Z5 RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6400MHz CL32 1.4V Black Desktop Memory - Wootware

I'm a g.skill man in general, but maybe the Corsairs are better this gen I'm not very clued up on DDR5 yet.

I have been fighting against the Cud for a while, but luckily I have found peace for now so will definitely wait for Arrow lake.

This is my everyday gaming config, although I might have to look into this undervolt story in more detail. This is plus 500 memory and 100 core with standard fan profile and stock power limit.

Most stuff doesn't even use resize bar these days because NVIDIA don't update their support list often. Most of the time you have to use NVIDIA profile inspector to manually set it.

Think it gave me a couple FPS extra in Cyberpunk and Warzone while CPU limited, I must have a look at it sometime again and see.

Corsair runs about 6-7C cooler thanks to the beefier heatsink. I needed that because with my front mounted radiator the inside of the case is crazy hot and DDR5 runs more stable at lower temperatures.

They also feature partial thermal pad coverage on the PMIC. GSkill has no coverage. PMIC doesn't really need to be cooled, but by having coverage it limits heat build-up that can affect the temperatures of everything else.

If you can run GSKill and it doesn't crash then all good. It was tempting to save R1700 going with GSkill but I decided to just go with the stuff that's better built (and I've had positive experiences with RMAing Corsair stuff in the past).

Can’t go wrong with Corsair, it’s most of the time only the price that’s hard to swallow. But by the sound of things I would also spend the extra dime rather then
 
In general people really should be spending more time on ram tuning. DDR4 and DDR5 both.

12900K with S16B at 6000 tuned was doing 18K CPU score easily. 13700K with the new H16A in the same board but up at 6800 tuned was doing 21K+ CPU score. Haven't finished the setup with the new board and ram yet but aiming at 7600/7400 at the moment. But seems like it's tapping out the CPU at 53P/44/48 and don't think there's much left in the CPU for daily.

Don't believe just me, this is DDR4 where XMP really doesn't matter much in most cases.

I mean those are perfectly fine kits although if you're holding out for Arrow Lake definitely don't buy DDR5 now. Micron has some new ICs that are better than before but no clear idea of actual performance yet. Hynix also has brand new ICs that seem to be already available in 8000XMP it's not H16A die and seems to have higher clocks but not much other info yet.

Also I like the Z5 looks more than the Vengeance RGB PRO.

The temp difference looks huge because the temperature measurements is PMIC temp and not IC temp. Also just run a fan, it just makes more sense. All the DDR5 is very temperature sensitive and around the 50C PMIC temp zone is where you you can more or less start expecting temperature related issues. Also DDR5 isn't XMP and forget, please actually stress to make sure everything is good.

The following is the recommended tests to run.
Y-Cruncher VST
IBT with the updated binaries for 12th gen and up.
And Test Mem 5 with the 1usmus preset.

In that order is good but make sure VST is stable before jumping to TM5.

You can actually, they make some weird design choices sometimes for IC layout on the sticks and terminations, weird is sufficient. And at what R3500 vs R5500 currently price difference it makes absolutely no sense.

My days of overclocking and tuning stuff to within an inch of its life at tornado fan speeds for miniscule native res gaming gains are over. For me It's all about power saving, lower heat and as close to stock performance as possible.

My rig passes 30 minutes Cinebench, 1 hour Realbench, full coverage in HCI MemTestPro, done in an afternoon.
My real test is normal usage - hours in sensitive games like GTA V, Warzone, Cyberpunk, all the modern stuff with shader compilation which pushes 100% CPU usage for minutes, etc. No WHEA popping up, no BSODS, runs well. Temps all in acceptable range.

I'm sure there are way more comprehensive tests (and some still believe in the good ol Prime95 for 24 hours) but this worked for me with my previous setup which didn't give me any trouble with gaming and general use. If it crashes I will reevaluate.

Also, I still think opting for Corsair over Gskill was the right choice for my setup. Mainly because even with the improved cooling of the Corsair ram, and with a Corsair 60mm ram cooler at 60-70% fan speed too, I'm reaching 55C in gaming.

Obviously different for another person, if they can get low 50s on GSkill then all good. But for me it would be more difficult due to the big hot 4090 efficiently cooling its core (mid 60s) but venting all that hot air into the case. The CPU also vents hot air in through the front radiator because the top-mounted radiator option would involve all that hot 4090 air going through the radiator which makes cooling an already hot Raptor Lake even more difficult.
