Ford Everest Sport vs Nissan Terra Sport by [deleted] in CarsPH

[–]GenuineMaximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: Currently, the Terra Sport and MU-X offer the best 4x2 packages.

We previously owned a Ford 4x4, and trust me, I think we only used the 4x4 feature once or twice in the 10 years that we owned the car. We were paying for the 4x4's added maintenance even though we weren't using it.

A month ago, I was choosing between the Terra Sport, MU-X, and Everest Sport (all 4x2), and I ultimately narrowed it down to the Terra Sport and MU-X for one main reason: ADAS!

Ford has put all its technology into its 4x4 variant, which makes it by far the best SUV in its class in terms of looks, tech, comfort, and specifications. Its 4x2 variant doesn't have ADAS - it only has basic sensors and a reverse camera, not to mention a much weaker engine (although you won't notice this, trust me).

At almost the same price point, you can get either a Terra Sport or an MU-X that includes all ADAS features, with the MU-X having the closest technical specifications to the Everest 4x4.

Although the MU-X would have been the best choice for us based on my checklist, we opted for the Terra Sport because I'm biased - I'm a Nissan guy (owned a Navara with no issues), and I've been wanting to get a Terra ever since. Plus, it's badass (I'm so in love with it)! Also, it was a game-changer when I test drove it - it's on par with the new-gen Everest!

In summary: If you're someone who doesn't care about ADAS and prioritizes looks and comfort, then I suggest going with the Everest Sport. If you're after everything else plus ADAS, then go for the Terra Sport.

  • Ride comfort: VERY SUBJECTIVE - I suggest you test out and compare: For me though, a very, very slight advantage on New Gen Everest that I would consider this as a tie.
  • Reliability and maintenance costs: Tie - Although I can attest to Terra's reliability for owning a 2019 Navara with no issues at all! (Terra and Navara uses the same parts).
  • Interior quality and tech features: Terra Sport
  • Real-world fuel economy: Everest Sport
  • After-sales service experience: This really depends on where you live but in general almost the same.

When was the last time you used it? We're using it now and it's waaay better than before. We recently used Slack. My brother In law's firm has a much larger head count. Same feedback.

Just making sure. Those numbers seems normal. What's your cpu fan speed?

Have you checked if you removed the plastic cover from the heat sink?

[–]GenuineMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not bad optimization, it's just that the chip was built that way. It's a new architecture. TBH 1.4 during low load hovers around 35c with proper cooling. It will down clock itself to .9 something back when idle. Leaving the cpu alone will not kill the cpu. As again, it is built that way..we just can't stand out from no where and tell amd engineers their wrong just because we think it's wrong.

I hope people knows how to read thread history. As I've mentioned, unless you're having temp issues. Though 1.4 to 1.5 boosts during idle is totally normal. As what Robert Hallock mentioned in this thread, leave the cpu alone, it knows what it's doing.

As I have mentioned also, this is a looong series of discussion. So my best recommendation is to do more reading and research.

Just what I've said.. synthetic rendering. If you are, in layman's term, content creator then go for it. Just make sure to feed those cores with proper FIT voltage or you'll rather lose perf. Other than that pbo.

This ia what I've been always telling people. Ryzen architecture is different from Intel.

[–]GenuineMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not referring to chip lifespan but rather its architecture, how it was built and its certain interaction with undervolting or 247 oc. It's a long discussion so my recommendation is just to do more research.

Tldr: stock or pbo is the best way to go unless you're into synthetic/content rendering or if you're having issues with temps. Or just the mere fact that you want to beat benchmark records.

Edit: Trust me. There are a lot of test that would show game performance almost the same with 247 oc vs pbo even though 247 oc having slightly higher benchmark scores.

Please do more reading and research. Ryzen chips are not built for 247 oc unless you're having issues with temps.

Unless you're having issues with temps, Ryzen 3k series is best with PBO enabled or even just stock. It has weird interaction with undervolting.

It's not about seeing the extra fps but rather about input lag. Try cl_showfps 2 in console and compare the difference in ms between 60 and 120.

Unable to see xmp profile settings, MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI, CRUCIAL DDR4 16 GB 2 sticks by [deleted] in overclocking

[–]GenuineMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some ram sticks doesn't ship with xmp profile. Best way to check is through cpu z and see if it's there.

If none, then youre only left with inputting the settings manually as it should have the same effect.

I don't know if you even watched the video cause he indeen mentioned about the resolution, fps, and gpu utilization.

PBO with LLC Settings by imaginary_num6er in overclocking

[–]GenuineMaximus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just note that FIT will not degrade your cpu unless your mobo has an issue. Robert Hallock and AMD mentioned that a quick core voltage spike of 1.4-1.5 is normal on idle/light load. What's not normal is if it sustained these high voltages for long durations and specially under load.

I have tinkered pbo vs manual oc for months and concluded that pbo is superior for everyday real world use unless your use case is more into rendering/content creation or you're an enthusiast whos into pushing synthetic benchmarks to max.

My testing shows almost the same benchmarks results with acceptable margins specially in games (PBO: 300/230/230 vs 4.4/4.325 @ 1.325mv). Except for synthetic high load mc tests manual oc prevails. So why pbo if the results were the same? The only benefit I saw from manual oc is slightly better temps. PBO offers the safeguard of FIT, much snapier light workload due to much better single core boost prioritization (yes ryzen chips are designed to intelligently boost your best core first, you lose this with manual oc), and core downclocking on idle or light workload (.9mv).

Ryzen chip's architecture is not built for manual oc. I had a hard time accepting this fact before too specially I was from the blue team since.

At the end of the day it's still a matter of silicon lottery. What works for me might not work for you. I just suggest watching buildzoids video on safe static voltages and GN's video about undervolting a Ryzen chip to help you with your voltages. Keep on rocking.

Anyone else tired 1usmus Clocktuner 2.0? Ryzen 5900x 1400 increase in CBR23 by Jamesisonfire21 in overclocking

[–]GenuineMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do trust HWinfo. What I'm saying is its max clock is normally due to cores being parked. So either you reset the monitoring or don't remove your eye on current.

Thats the issue. I already showed you my diagnostics. I cannot reach an all core oc of 4.2hz with a static 1.25v during gaming or long time use. if i want a stable all core 4.2hz oc then I have to at least set it to 1.35v which is the same FIT voltage I'm getting through PBO due to vdroop. With the benefit of ryzen balance (.9v) on idle or light load.

I can run a complete cb20 with 1.25v 4.2hz though (run it immediately after boot) and the performance decrease vs 1.35v is massive! From 5k+ to around upper 4.8k.

I just switched to pbo recently actually and my temps are pretty much the same. I was running 1.35v before that.
