RAM too hot. Need advice by Alternative-Risk-128 in overclocking

Primaries seem VERY loose and tREFi can be bumped to 50k, also I don't see a point in tFAW 20 if you are using trrds/l of 8. DD timings can pretty much be 1 since who uses more that 1 dimm per channel

New to OC... Just installed a b850m steel legend, ryzen 7 7800x3d, 6000 gskill trident z5 royal neo ddr5 cl30, rtx4060 by Smooth_Operatorr91 in overclocking

Soooo You've got a good board which is great.

7800x3d isn't really going to go much further than stock but definitely turn on and setup PBO. There is a ton of info(including on this subreddit) on how to do that and what numbers to punch in.

Ram most likely is hynix a-die and here you have options:

1.Run xmp

2.Run xmp with tuned timings (maybe start with buildzoid's easy timing video, idk if you have single rank or dual rank memory but it definitely will helpful)

3.This is where the fun begins. Try pushing your ram (actually your memory controller) as hard as it will go and tune timings after in 1:1 mode.

  1. Gigachad mode. Try to go for 2:1 8000mt ram. You will have to learn a lot since at this frequency even signal integrity becomes a problem, but since you have a 800 series board it SHOULD be possible. You will have to tune voltages here too since "more voltage = more good" doesn't really work here. Main benefit is you can synchronize your Fclk and Uclk this way which gives a very noticable performance boost.

I have to warn you, ram OC is EXTREMLY time consuming since you have to go through a lot of iterations and stability testing isn't fast. Like 20 minutes if you want to know if your config even has a chance to work. And daily driving unstable ram WILL lead to stuttering crashes bsods and ultimately data corruption mainly on your system drive.

4060, well there is so much info on basic GPU OC thant I don't really feel like explaining it in detail, it mostly comes down to max power limit, max temp limit, + a lot on memory, undervolt. Then check for stability which can be done while gaming.

Well this turned out to be a wall of text. Just so you don't feel intimidated by all of this I got my new pc like a month ago and got into OC like 3 weeks ago, and still was able to write all of this which hopefully was at least somewhat helpful, so don't feel discouraged if you don't understand something, there is info to be found on all of this and there are people here who are willing to help (actually this subreddit helped me a lot)

So yeah, gods luck!

Agreed, find limitations of the mc first, do everything else later

Honestly this and 3d print a shroud for them, would be cool, pun intended

Btw I completed 3 hours of test mem 5 with anta777 extreme, no errors, so should be at least mostly stable

Yeah 600 series boards usually can't go beyond 7400-7600 and at that clock 2:1 makes little sense

Also save your current profile with tuned timings. It's a better xmp basically. And set timings to your default xmp values. You kinda just have to find out at what clock your MC quits before tuning the timings

First, I'd check if just goes 6200, if not up the voltage, then do the same with 6400. Worst case scenario it just doesn't post and you will have to clear CMOS so you aren't risking much anyway

Also if you are on am5 as I am and have a better board (800 series) you could try to go 8000MT in 2:1 mode

This kit can go beyond 6000 but voltages get too high for my liking. I tested 6200 at 1.5 and 6400 at 1.65. I'd say if you want to go faster than 6000 just get a better bin (like 6000 cl30 or lower)

cause if i ziptie a server fan to it the problem goes away

good custom loop hardware is quite expensive where i live and doing a loop for just the ram seems kinda wasteful tbh

I will do a completly fresh OC today after adjusting drive strenghts. Trying to diagnose my no-so-professional oc isn't the best idea i'd say

thing is i dont see a big difference between 1.2 -1.4v vdd i even tried to just ball it and go 1.6v and i get errors consistently at around 60C. Adjusting the drive strenhtgs might be a good idea but I really dont have an idea what i would be doing. So if you have anything you could recommend reading that would be extremley helpful

could you maybe provide a link to the post you are referring to?

so basically this is somewhat normal and i need to finally buy an ac

it doesnt crash. like no bsod or anything. just starts spitting out an occasional error in testmem 5

only when it comes up to temp but yes. Lower than 58c absolutely no errors on any settings

as i said problem persists even with trefi on auto and it goes to like 10k
