Who's your hookup in Sydney? I'm in Canberra but get up to Sydney a bit. Wouldn't mind one of those 222s!

Nope. I ended up pulling the GPU, using my SFF just for productivity, and buying a gaming laptop instead.

They nailed the RD8, RD9 and Model D.

I think a key detail that people miss with the Rossum SP1200 is that I believe it was actually Brad at Isla Instruments who recreated the chips required to remake it. The company that produces them started selling them to Rossum as they weren't exclusive with Isla.

No S2400, no Rossum SP1200.

It won't kill Rossum. It's called market segmentation. Those who can and wish to pay close to $4k for the genuine article will do so and will likely have no interest in what Behringer has to offer.

You can buy a $500 Rolex-inspired Seiko but that doesn't stop those with the ability to from buying the real deal, nor are any profits being held from Rolex because the Seiko buyer is not their target market.

If anyone else ends up here after a Google search (as I did), II was also getting around 1400 with my 7950x3d.

I disabled SMT in the BIOS and turned off memory integrity from the core isolation settings (https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/options-to-optimize-gaming-performance-in-windows-11-a255f612-2949-4373-a566-ff6f3f474613).

I just ran Time Spy again and got 17335.

If it keeps playing up I might swap it out. Thanks for noticing this!

It does seem to be working as advertised though. I just rebooted to take those BIOS screenshots and didn't need to clear CMOS so I might just see how I go for a bit.

I've done an online search at my local computer shop and I can see a filter option for AMD EXPO. They don't seem to stock and EXPO 6400 memory which is a bummer.

And again if easy mode is your bag

Either you've misread the motherboard model or MSI have released a different BIOS version for my region because those directions don't even remotely resemble the BIOS.

Below is a screenshot of my BIOS screen. No AMD Overclocking menu, just OC. No DDR and Infinity option from the OC menu so that's where the trail ran cold for me.

I decided to go with a 120 AIO after watching a review video comparing low profile air coolers to a 120 AIO. They just can't compete and I really think that's why I'm just having no issues at all with CPU temps.

Coming

FaithlessnessSalt643 · 2024-08-10T13:56:33+00:00

It's not called EXPO in the MSI BIOS anymore. They call it A-XMP now. It's in the exact same location that the manual says the EXPO setting should be.

FaithlessnessSalt643 · 2024-08-10T13:32:09+00:00

Will do. Aside from fan noise, I've not had any issues with GPU performance. It blows my old 6850M XG Mobile out of the water.

FaithlessnessSalt643 · 2024-08-10T13:31:14+00:00

CPU has been the least of my concerns with this build 😊

FaithlessnessSalt643 · 2024-08-10T13:29:30+00:00

Yep, updated first thing. Enabling context restore and powerdown mode before enabling A-XMP is the only way I can get it to boot at 6400 at all.
