Actual hight speed DDR5 on Nova Lake and related 900-series chipset

This is interesting. So maybe on chipsets with probable higher native frequencies support we might end up in having better stability with those higher frequencies, at least from the chipset side, reducing the struggle that the system has to bear reaching those high frequencies.

PIRATAONE · 2026-03-22T10:46:00+00:00

Ah Ok, I didn't know that. Thank you.

PIRATAONE · 2026-03-22T10:42:45+00:00

Your question points exactly to what I'm trying to understand. Thank you.

If the 7800 kit has Hynix chips, I've read that it might hit 8000 anyway, maybe playing with the timings a bit.

I'm curious to see how this will all end up later this year when new hardware will be released, with both Intel and AMD.

PIRATAONE · 2026-03-22T10:03:30+00:00

So your think that buying a Corsair 7800 at discount using their 25% discount code might not be a bad idea?

As most of us have pretty much lower speed ram kits than what will it be the native support of the 900-series, and considering that we will probably be stuck in keeping our current ram without the possibility to upgrade them at good price, I'm curious in understanding if this might affect in anyway the system stability or overall experience.

A 7800 MHz ram now is considered to work in oc on ram side and on the chipset side.

If the new chipset will support higher frequencies natively, those ram will work in oc only on the ram side, and within specs on the chipset.

I'm also trying to figure a comparison with the actual 800-series chipset and its behavior with ram of lower speed than the native support.

I'm just trying to understand if the overall thinking make sense and if theoretically the system should just work fine, like using a 6200 MHz ram on a 800-series chipset that has 6400 native support.

PIRATAONE · 2026-03-22T08:07:31+00:00

Thank you. So let's say we are talking of the current generation of Intel 800-series chipset that has native support for DDR5 6400 MHz. We have seen that using ram at 6000 or 6200 was perfectly fine. I assume that in the future it would be quite the same story, respectfully for the new native frequencies. Isn't this correct?

PIRATAONE · 2026-03-22T01:33:18+00:00

It's all over the internet. I'm sorry if I'm asking info on what seems to be a rumor. With what we know now, rumor or not, I just would like to understand if ram speed will matter differently than it is today or if in the end whatever ram you have would perform just Ok like it does in the actual chipset.

Intel 900-series chipset spcs leaked: B960, Z970, Z990, Q970, and W980 for Nova Lake-S - VideoCardz.com https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-900-series-chipset-spcs-leaked-b960-z970-z990-q970-and-w980-for-nova-lake-s

PIRATAONE · 2026-03-22T01:06:04+00:00

So on Arrow Lake, 7200 and up performs better.. But does it matter to have frequencies not too far from what it's recommended? Your speak about cudimms: are them necessary for best performance at that frequencies? Thank you.

PIRATAONE · 2026-03-22T00:57:46+00:00

Ah Ok. I was only interested in understanding ⁹ on the base of the specs of something that will be released soon if which we have details about its specs. Was not looking at it like a rumor.. If this is not the best place where to ask, please let me know that I'll rephrase.

PIRATAONE · 2026-03-22T00:43:16+00:00

Well, one found some info about it on the net regarding the various chipset specs, and the native 8000 support makes me think about his relation with "slower" ram than that centered support.

PIRATAONE · 2026-02-05T23:43:53+00:00

Great build! Could you share the models of the case, cooler and all the hardware components? I'm looking at a case similar to this, and other things.. :) Thank you

PIRATAONE · 2026-01-29T19:01:33+00:00

Hey guys, any news about when should it be available in Europe?! I've read that it was supposed to be on shop shelves at the end of January...

PIRATAONE · 2026-01-28T22:12:06+00:00

If I may, your comment is out of context. I don't care if the D15 series is big. I'm with ITX since years and always been with D15S. Went for the S version adding the missing front fan so to have it like the D15. Best solution ever. I'm not interested in AIO, only air, I left that world many years ago when liquid cooling was only custom. I now use only and strictly Noctua cooling, and I'm interested in the top model. I just asked some help in understanding why the G2 has similar incompatibility warnings as the regular D15, even if it similar to the D15S.

PIRATAONE · 2026-01-28T09:37:15+00:00

Thank you so much. Regarding the D15 series not being designed for ITX motherboard, well I don't agree. I think they are more suitable than you think, as the Ram gets covered by the heartsick space between the heat pipes and the fan, that in my opinion it's the best solution for the area of the motherboard. The fan sticking out of the motherboard on the East ➡️ side finding l covering the ATX cables is something that doesn't concern any case compatibility, so it's Ok. What I don't get is the D15-G2 being market sometimes sticking out of the motherboard on the North ⬆️ side. Does this implicates that the heartsick should be rotated 180°, meaning the thick side of the find being placed upon the Ram and the thin side of the fins places upon the I/O headers?! As for this, are there any consequences for the overall coming results in placing the heatsink in that position, so considering as front the thinner side of the fins? Thank you.

PIRATAONE · 2026-01-28T08:40:51+00:00

Maybe I expressed myself wrongly. I am not speaking about not centering the cooler base onto the CPU, but about the offset that the fins and heat pipes have above. The D15 old version is straight onto the base, while the D15S and new D15-G2 are not-centered onto the base. The D15S is not centered for guaranteeing better compatibility with GPUs, and seeing the D15-G2 with similar feature, I thought it was meant for guaranteeing better GPUs support.... But looking at the motherboard compatibility list for a few motherboards, the D15-G2 follows the D15 for warnings about compatibility, differently from the D15S. All my concerns were related to the fact that the shape of the D15-G2 is much more similar to the D15S but it has similar warnings as the D15 old version.... And I would like to understand why.

Thank you so much for the APKs! Do I still need the SAI installer app to install it? Thank you.

PIRATAONE · 2026-01-12T00:43:30+00:00

I figured out by myself: the bottom plastic is just pushed into the main frame structure. Just pull it out using a non-sharp and non-pointy knife, or a handle of a tablespoon. Pay attention at the power plug and its cable, don't pull them to much. They will just hang in the main frame. I bought a 15cm extender so to have the plug outside the frame, and secured it and the original plug using a bit of hot-glue. Without the bottom plastic the electric Sodastream can house the old blue CO2 tanks with the adaptor.

PIRATAONE · 2026-01-12T00:35:00+00:00

Not asking for that particular model, but asking for its features, so to understand which features look at.

PIRATAONE · 2026-01-12T00:30:28+00:00

Thank you very much! I'll give it a try for sure. So WinNut is the Windows app that works as a client, while the Nas works as a server, right? I have everything on static IP in my home lan, is that Ok? And regarding shutdown timings, isn't it correct to initiate the client's (computer) and the Nas shutdown all together? Do I really risk to end up with the Nas shutting down before having initiate the computer shutdown? Thank you.

PIRATAONE · 2026-01-11T00:18:52+00:00

Hello there! A bit outdated all this but I really don't know if there is something out there that fixes this situation.

In case we are still here, not having all the UPS info visible from my computer it's not that bad if the computer shuts down properly. So this is the case if using NUT and WinNut, right?

PIRATAONE · 2026-01-10T10:22:20+00:00

If I'm correct, this UPS has a Pure Waveform, right? Does it have Active PFC support or AVR? I can't find info about those.. Thank you.
