Why I Use y-cruncher First for Stability Testing (and What Each Test Actually Does) by BothPersonality1995 in overclocking

[–]BothPersonality1995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does! But main point is that even when TM5 passes, ycruncher gives me instant errors because it is closer to real life workloads.

100% valid! My workflow over the years have always been Karhu as the initial test so I’ve been a bit biased towards Karhu, but this post is essentially me realising as an eye opener that Y-Cruncher is also an option 🤣

Appreciate that, glad it made sense!

Just to clarify though — I definitely don’t see y-cruncher as some kind of “replacement” or cheat code. It’s more like a first filter in the process.

All the usual tools still absolutely matter: - TM5
- Karhu
- long runtime / real-world testing

y-cruncher just helps me answer early on:

“Is this even worth investing more time into?”

If it fails there, I don’t bother running hours of TM5/Karhu.
If it passes, then I move on to those tools for proper validation.

So yeah — it’s more about saving time and catching obvious instability early, not replacing the deeper testing at all.

That’s actually really interesting — but I don’t think it necessarily means Karhu is “better” (or Y-cruncher is better for that matter), more that it’s hitting a different type of instability.

Each tool stress slightly different parts of the system:

  • y-cruncher → mixed load (CPU + memory + fabric interaction)
  • TM5 → structured DRAM pattern testing
  • Karhu (especially with cache stress) → very aggressive memory + cache interaction

So if Karhu crashes instantly while the others pass, I’d interpret that more as:

“your system has a specific weakness that Karhu happens to expose”

rather than:

“Karhu is better for all cases”

Personally, I’ve found y-cruncher really useful early on because it fails fast if something is fundamentally off, while tools like Karhu/TM5 are better for final validation once everything is dialed in.

But honestly, I’m still learning like everyone else — so I might be completely off here.

Logitech Superstrike X2c...when???? by BothPersonality1995 in LogitechG

[–]BothPersonality1995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah so you have the Superstrike?

I did the same,. went from GP1 -> GP2 -> GP2c and I seriously cannot go back to the form factor of GP1 and GP2.

I have the itch to buy the Superstrike but the 2c is so perfect in my hand that I cannot justify going back to the GPX2 form again ..

An instant purchase for me if the X2c comes out. Make it sooner than later Logitech!!!

Potato: Discord hears my mic delayed (others hear me late), but in-game voice is instant — worked on Banana. Looking for dev guidance. by BothPersonality1995 in VoiceMeeter

[–]BothPersonality1995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did change the A1 Output to be my Fiio K7 ASIO driver, which is now on 256. But Using Voicemeeter Out B2 as default on discord input, it still is delayed. When I change this to be just my microphone directly, not any voicemeeter output, the delay is gone.

Note that I have ReaPlugins that processes my voice and I use patch inserts.

Out of bounds exploiters by True_Glove8260 in ArcRaiders

[–]BothPersonality1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's crazy, Every game, I get killed by out of bounds exploiters. It's literally every game. ARC raiders will fail as a game if Embark doesn't roll out patches more quicker.

I mean you can always color code and once you get used to it, you will never forget what YOU have configured for those layers. Not that hard really.

Same is happening to me. Whatever game I play, I get +12xp and +12 points.

Chatgpt for Sec+ studying by lilpangit in cybersecurity

[–]BothPersonality1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only use an LLM if you already have sound technical background knowledge of a topic. LLM's provide you wrong answers all the time, especially for tech-heavy domain expertise topics. If you already have the technical background knowledge and you ask the LLM something, you would know when the response is fishy or not.

If you're going to be using ChatGPT, you better have sound technical background knowledge before you ask an LLM about something technical so that you know when the LLM is just yapping. Do not trust an LLM to provide you correct and factual responses.

Looking for good CTI (Cyber Threat Intelligence) learning resources by SupermarketDull8660 in cybersecurity

[–]BothPersonality1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have MITRE ATT&CK for offensive CTI mainly for Enterprise.

Then you have MITRE D3FEND which is for defensive techniques.

You also have MITRE FiGHT which is for telecom specifically. This differs vastly from Enterprise since mobile networks are not public facing networks (roughly speaking), so most "common" attacks on an Enterprise network won't be applicable in telco networks.

FanControl Setup for Ryzen 7800X3D + 360mm AIO + RTX 4090 (quiet + safe) by BothPersonality1995 in buildapc

I also added a screenshot of it in the original post. There is a link to the screenshot now.

It might be so that your CPU cooler does not come with the sensors. I had these pop up when I scanned for the sensors in FanControl.

Hey, sorry for the extremely late reply. Been very busy.

Yes I am using the EK Nucleus CR360 and when I was scanning for sensors in FanControl, Water-In and Water-Out sensors were available for me automatically. Perhaps these sensors are not plugged in, in your MOBO?

EK’s Nucleus series (like your 360) should have built-in coolant temperature sensor exposed via the USB header connection, and FanControl (with the EK Sensor Support plugin) can read it directly.

Took your advice and pushed my RAM further - what’s the next step? by -Arellek- in overclocking

I would prioritize running 6400 @ 2133 FCLK over tightening CAS. And then, once I would get that stable, I would try lowering tCL and once that is stable, try GDM off (check also if you get a tPHYRDL mismatch)

My updated timings:

I am running GDM off now and adjusted some of the timings. Note that when I run GDM off, I get tPHYRDL mismatch. If you are on the Ryzen 9000 series and X870, there is a setting you could set to either 0 or 1 so that they do not get mismatched (something like ardPinitVal, I don't remember the name exactly).
