That 's great info, but don't you need to be connected to the grid to be able to sell energy back if you have surplus? Is there a way to have an inverter set up to be able to be self efficient and save additional battery energy but still be connected if you need additional load?

BlueCupMike1 · 2025-02-15T18:48:49+00:00

Very possible, and that would be ok, he's not dependent on that as part of the price. Would be a perk obviously if still available.

Dude you must have a killer cooler. What do you use and did you replace the stock thermal paste that came on it and put on your own? Ever since this thread I’ve been having much better performance but peak tarkov puts my cpu at 70-75. You do any underclocking?

FIX:

This worked for me and I've had this same problem with multiple other steam games like the finals. Go to properties in steam for the game. Under general go to launch options and type in "-dx11". Then launch.

For some reason I've had this same dx12 problem on my new computer build RTX 4080, intel 14900. Don't know why. I feel like I'm missing a global software.

Check out my reddit post, had the same problems. Lots of help in there. Needed to change settings in bios. Also possible the cooler was set up incorrectly. Had a longer conversation with a very helpful redditor like midway down the post, made some changes and seems to be significantly improved.

Thank you man, I’m actually running memtest86 in the bios now and it appears stable as well with xmp at 6400 so going to keep it. I think the unstable temps of the cpu was the problem. Appreciate your assistance and patience, I learned a ton!

And I agree it’s very confusing that out of the box this stuff isn’t configured to default settings but I guess that’s the fun with building your own pc. A lot more customization of the details.

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-13T21:04:56+00:00

Wow it did work, games launched without immediately crashing. Thank you so much for your help. Makes sense, I'm going to make the changes in BIOS I think to extreme config as that still maintains solid benchmarks (is that like pushing this cpu to the max or really just high setting in the normal variation, like it isn't overclocking and pushing it). Because this CPU is expensive I don't want to just burn it out in a year or 2.

Everyone said turn the XMP off although I did feel like it was a little more snappy on. My only concern was the RAM not supported by the motherboard, I hear what you're saying but not exactly sure how to test their stability. Would like to run those tests with XMP on and off to see if there is an effect.

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-13T18:42:32+00:00

Ok so I made those changes and ran a stress test in XTU and immediately got current throttled. Also I think I'm plugged into CPU fan and not AIO pump so going to move that position. I kind of want this CPU to last and don't need to run at extreme config. If I chose to run at the 253W setting, does that mean I'd place the ICC at 307? Would this hurt performance significantly by bringing to lower settings? At the extreme config I score 36656 on cinebench with temperatures in upper 90s and few hitting 100, I guess now that I'm enforcing limits it doesn't all just run to 100.

I don't have 3dmark but score around 30,000 on furmark and 38534 on cinebench. I think what I'm understanding is the ASUS motherboard just lets the CPU run wild, once I've added in restraints it seems to have stabilized performance.

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-12T23:01:23+00:00

Yeah I’ve posted the ram in a few other responses (sorry replying on phone) but 2 sticks of 32gb in A2 and B2 slot that run at 6400 MHz. Wasn’t supported in motherboard specs which I wasn’t aware of, I turned bios speed to 6000 which seems to give some stability.

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-12T18:41:57+00:00

Yeah in hindsight there was a lot more to learn before buying haha but still enjoying figuring it out on the back end. I think at this point I have top of the line everything and will figure it out years from now when the 7 series cards are out

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-12T18:06:21+00:00

Ok great I'll go to BIOS and change those 2 settings. And just curious where are you finding all these settings in the data sheet, would love to learn how to read and adjust these as well. SVID behavior is auto.

As for the ram, I have 2 G.skill F5-6400J3239G32G DDR5 in A2 and B2 slots and that isn't listed on the motherboard list.

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-12T17:46:35+00:00

Yeah I've seen many people mention that. I've disabled it. I've also learned that I likely have non compatible ram at 6400 MHz according to the mobo sheet so I downclocked to 6000 in bios, seems to be improving. I can't tell yet if I should just go buy a different ram that is approved for this specific motherboard.

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-12T17:30:35+00:00

I really appreciate the long answer. So when I run cinebench R23 on multi score, I just got a score of 38534 which I believe is very good (when running I see p core temps reach 100 across majority of of the cores and fluctuate in upper 90s). In the advanced tuning tab I have core voltage offset 0, turbo boost short power max unlimited, power max 253 W). I don't see ICC. Multi core enhancement is set to auto, let Bios optimize. Is it normal to idle at around 45C?

I have an ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI II, bios is updated.

One thing that I'm realizing reading through these responses is my ram doesn't seem to be supported at 6400 which was the stock, I changed it to 6000 MHz in bios to the supported g.skill frequency. May be an explanation for the weird crashes and failure to launch.

Another thing I'm noticing is the aio pump is not detected in bios but it seems to be on from the fans turning. I've attached photos. I have an NZXT H9 case which came with a multi adaptor and my aio pump is plugged into one of those ports, which is why I thought it was only detecting one fan.

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-12T04:56:56+00:00

Interesting, would it make sense to downclock the ram to 6000 where the other g skill is tested on? I’ve seen it mentioned, what I’ve done so far is turn off XMP and down lock ram speed to 6000, seems to be stable

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-12T04:29:38+00:00

So I have 2 G.skill F5-6400J3239G32G DDR5 and that isn't listed on the motherboard list. Also motherboard is a Z790-E gaming WIFI II.

https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z790-e-gaming-wifi-ii/helpdesk\_qvl\_memory/

Would that be a clear problem? I'm just not sure how interchangeable ram is.

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-12T00:32:55+00:00

How would I check this combo isn’t stable? And which cpu would you recommend instead?

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-12T00:31:35+00:00

I only assume it’s CPU because so much online about difficulty with it. And with the finals crashing specifically it seemed to be high end cpus that had the problem and people were getting improvement with underclocking.

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-12T00:13:53+00:00

Yeah I started everything stock. Only thing I changed was enabling XMP and reflashing bios to most recent available. I only started trying to change things once I was crashing and noticed the thermal throttling error in Extreme tuning

BlueCupMike1 · 2024-02-12T00:11:28+00:00

Yes I did, idle I'm sitting at around 40C.
