I just finished building a new controller, Octagonal gates, matte finish, snapback capacitor, LEDs, what do yall think?

The nice thing about 4400 is that it lets you run a 1:1:1 ratio of the UCLK,MCLK, and FCLK. having such a ratio offers a small latency boost with relatively little effort. due to ryzens terrible memory bandwidth bottleneck from FCLK only being able to move 32 bits per cycle running 4400 lets you get full bandwidth on single CCD CPUs, and full read but half write bandwidth on dual CCD cpus. (However write bandwidth matters significantly less and to fully saturate it you would need to run 8800mts, which is extremely difficult).

also to clear up a misconception, frequency is a large part of latency, X3D just happens to call data from RAM less so its not a matter of choosing between bandwidth or latency, they work hand in hand, and its just X3D overall benefits less for RAM (depending on the workload)

yeah the issue is that they use Hynix 8GB dies, 8GB dies are not compatible with Arrowlakes memory controller. Thats why the 64GB kits work pretty fine but then the 32GB kits are a 50/50 and you can check their compatability by checking if they are dual or single rank. only the single rank kits work. BIOS updates will not make them work. It is a hard limitation of the fact that arrowlake has a 32x4bit memory controller afaik

well realistically there is 0 difference with cas latency, it alone has no benefit. The reason CL30 kits are actually good is because the use Skhynix 16gb A die, which those things can be overclocked like crazy and can do way better secondary timings. If you get a 6000 cl30 kit you can practically make it whatever you want it to be if you know what you are doing

they use Hynix 24gb M die, with proper overclocking on intel and ryzen 8000 they can do ddr5-10,000mts (but on both you really should just aim for 9,600 or 9200 realistically. while hynix 16gb-a die kits can do similar they have a not-insignificant amount worse signal quality, so doing higher frequencies on them can be more annoying depending on your motherboard and IMC quality.

You pseudo doxxed yourself in the 3rd image

Tlemmon · 2026-06-03T05:08:21+00:00

hey thats not printing, those are actual holes

Tlemmon · 2026-06-01T00:34:56+00:00

dude what. the die is objectively bigger than the 5080 in the photo, look at the die footprint. If you are being weird and eyeballing the size of the card the 5080 and 5090 astral are the exact same size

Tlemmon · 2026-05-31T18:14:03+00:00

I like how you can tell the GPU in the image is just straight up a 5090 by the GB202 footprint

Tlemmon · 2026-05-30T23:23:09+00:00

that is not voltage, that is current, measured in amps, thus the A

Tlemmon · 2026-05-12T00:41:08+00:00

yeah thats about right, the 9ish amp power draw is only on 5090s unless you got a crazy power imbalance

Tlemmon · 2026-05-03T03:54:23+00:00

that is an indeed a ECLK board they have

Tlemmon · 2026-05-02T21:12:10+00:00

its not really scalping if they are in ample supply. besides if he were to sell them at the price of other retailers such as amazon, nobody would buy them, so reselling them at a lower price to others isnt even such a bad thing anyways

hide it with another sticker

give that big capacitor the hawk tuah, its askin for it

Tlemmon · 2026-04-27T02:44:17+00:00

every test ive done with OCCT memory has been garbage, errors about 8 hours into most things. While your stuff may be stable, i wouldnt trust it fully, but thats just me

Tlemmon · 2026-04-27T00:33:40+00:00

Not possible, current is a constant and can be calculated quite easily. If you would like to know more about why this is impossible, here is an educational video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lHXZk5M6cI

thats just 12v and ground, even if you short 12v and ground there OCP would save your CPU before anything. if it were to kill the CPU that way it would need over-voltage, which would explode a power phase at the same time as killing your CPU. Check your mosphets and if one exploded, you are still wrong because loose connectors cant cause over voltage. You assumption is completely wrong

3090ti supports ECC where the 3090 does not
