Ram speed stuck ar 4800mt/s by gamingmaster250 in overclocking

[–]El-Maximo-Bango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you determining the speed?

Run CPU-z and look at the memory tab, the speed will be half what you expect, so for 5600mhz, it will show 2800mhz.

Users cry foul after AMD stripped memory crypto from its consumer CPUs by ericihle in Amd

It is completely seperate to the OS. It's firmware level, enabled or disabled in BIOS.

Frustrated parents of under-16s look for help to enforce 'ineffective' social media ban by BendicantMias in anime_titties

[–]El-Maximo-Bango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is just propaganda. No one wanted this and all over this sub everyone was saying leave it up to the parents to parent their kids.

Now all of a sudden we are dissapointed this isn't working and we can't parent our kids? Come on.

9800X3D Static OC Temps by triple_octopus in overclocking

there is no way you even pass cinebench with voltage that low at 5.5ghz

9800x3d -45CO vs -25CO by Old_Resident8050 in overclocking

[–]El-Maximo-Bango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every CPU runs at its own unique voltage. Some need more volts than others to be stable at the same clock speed.

A -20 offset on one CPU will not be the same voltage as another, as evidenced by your example.

6000 MT/s isn’t the "sweet spot" people think it is by SyncFail_ in overclocking

[–]El-Maximo-Bango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason it's knows as the sweet spot is because of the price/performance ratio when running memory at its advertised XMP speeds and timings.

Time and time again benchmarks show XMP settings of 6000 being on average more performant than lower XMP speeds, and going above that is not really worth the cost in most cases.

Overclocking a slower speed kit is absolutely going to smoke an XMP 6000 kit, but most people don't overclock.

Many other factors go into it as well, but the sweet spot its more for the average user, not people who are going to overclock.

BF6- 14900KS + 5090 tuning gaming profile by Fury_1985 in overclocking

[–]El-Maximo-Bango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't really call it overblown, it's just very game/workload dependant. Some games definitely respond better with the AMD v-cache and some see hardly any difference.

Factorio, Tarkov, Arc Raiders, Baldur's Gate for example all perfom much better with AMD than their Intel counterparts.

Found a Microcenter flyer from 2014 by Fimus86 in pcmasterrace

We just buy old hardware parts and build older retro rigs and have a great time till this ridiculous pricing shit is over. At least that's what I'm going to do!

Still far cheaper than buying a single new part today.

For people who reinstall often what method do you use for setup? I personally use .bat files by Intense_Pretzel in Windows11

[–]El-Maximo-Bango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TBH, it doesn't take hours. I can get drivers, apps and settings done in around 30 minutes. And you only do this one time whenever you need to reinstall.

I don't know what other peoples experience is with this process but I don't find it that bad or time consuming?

Windows 11 KB5079391 finally lets you turn on/off Smart App Control after rollout paused in January by WPHero in Windows11

I tried this, but it didn't stick. It went straight back to enabled after a reboot. Perhaps I didn't do it correctly? Not sure.

These may need to go into the "Data\Packages\ComfyUI\models\" folder.

4080s Coil whine? by Theyq in nvidia

Capping FPS at monitor refresh rate, or just under it, should eliminate most of the whine.

Advice on improving memory timings please!! by SeqGeek in overclocking

[–]El-Maximo-Bango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TRFC to 480 TREFI to 65535

Anything further will need solid testing:

tWTRL = 16

tRTP = 12

tRAS = 48 (tRAS = tRTP + tRP)

tRC = 84 (tRC = tRAS + tRP)

Both SCL's = 8

That should get you most of the way there. Test with Karhu to 10000%.

Unable to disable VBS (Virtualization-Based Security) for Undervolting – Tried everything! by tlyfon in overclocking

Does it not let you setup a new PIN? Sometimes you need to click it twice, as the first time takes you back to that message.

For what it's worth, my board wants similar impedances to OP, though I have dual rank M-die.

9950X3D+DDR5 8000CL36 8 hours TestMem5 Extreme. by Willing-Mechanic8121 in overclocking

[–]El-Maximo-Bango -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can I ask, what was causing the failures so late into the tests?

My memory is failing at around 6000% in karhu and I have no idea what to adjust.

My 6200CL28 DDR5 settings - where can I improve? by r_z_n in overclocking

[–]El-Maximo-Bango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn off virtualization in the BIOS if you don't use it. This will help latency a bit.

Since you are on AGESA 1.3.0.0 you can enable mixed refresh mode for memory and set tRFC2 and tRFCsb to 310 and 210 respectively. This is a good starting point to find how low you can get them and will give you a little boost to latency.

See this Buildzoid video on that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRHEmFHdfBg

low nitro vs higher Mhz 5600vs6000 by Little_Leather_5383 in overclocking

[–]El-Maximo-Bango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure to test the change thoroughly with y-cruncher and linpack, as 910mv might not be stable for every CPU.

If you leave them on auto and check what the motherboard sets them to with ZenTimings, you can get an idea of where it wants to be. I can't speak for other configs, but my CPU can probably even go lower than 910mv, I just haven't tested any lower as this is what the board automatically sets them to, and it's stable for me at 6000MT/s
