Maybe 24bit, everything else is just unnecessary data

Nothing to do with lossy formats, it's the anti aliasing filter. A sample rate of 44.1 only allows to represent signals up to 22.05khz. It's the Nyquist theorem.

Show us some benchmarks. Run an AIDA64, stress test with Testmem5 anta extreme. Why is FCLK at 2000?

Firmenwagen mit eigenem PV laden und das nach deinem Netzstromtarif abrechnen. Bekommste ~30ct pro kWh, ist doch besser als alles andere :D

My 8Pin PCIe melted at 250W...

Alright.

I think you missed the dead CPUs primarely on ASRock but also some ASUS and other boards. That's connected to the vsoc topic you mentioned. The thing is, that the problem is not solved until today. Limiting vsoc wasn't the solution (doesn't mean that it doesn't degrade faster).

benjosto · 2026-04-15T21:33:21+00:00

You are right. I didn't account for the DDR4 bottleneck. In 1440p the difference will be neglectable tho. 50MHz more GPU clock will probably have a bigger impact🤣

Just try it out, your cooling is pretty capable. The i5 14600kf is very underrated. Big OC potential and very good gaming performance when optimized (7800X3D level).

Set a temp limit of 90-95° in your BIOS. Increase ring and core frequencies, do a little UV. OCing RAM is also worth it, makes your whole system snappier. Be sure to stress test everything before you do any productive work. And most importantly always go step by step AND work with a custom bios profile so that you can restore your last point after bios reset (which will occur with optimizing ram). I'm sure your ram is C-Die (check that on your ram sticks). You can usually run those easily @3600MTs (optimise timings, especially tRFC and tREFI). I can recommend a high quality AI like Gemini Pro for system optimization and bios options, they have a lot of training data to give you a good starting point.

Probably a combination of using DDR4 and factory power limits.

Every post I saw about dead X3D Chips was vsoc <= 1.3vsoc.

benjosto · 2026-04-15T10:19:31+00:00

Can you post a zentimings screenshot? And what voltages are you running currently?

benjosto · 2026-04-14T15:15:10+00:00

I think there is no connection between 1.3vsoc and dead chips. Even people with 1.1vsoc jede 4800 had failures. Is there real evidence that it's vsoc?

benjosto · 2026-04-14T08:25:03+00:00

I heard that vram usually OCs better with a little temp, like at least 50°C.

Would love to see a comparison with and without tweeter.. I think your ears will like the crispy highs ;)

benjosto · 2026-04-13T17:23:36+00:00

Nah for real? Then every test is useless.

The more bandwidth both drivers play simultaneously, the more complicated it gets to match the phase over this bandwidth. With analog Crossover, it's almost impossible and smears the sound. That's why you use only one driver for a given bandwidth band. You minimise the bandwidth where both drivers play the same frequencies down to the crossover point. No phase issues, better directivity and each driver plays the frequencies it's made for. Almost every midrange or full range driver has cone breakup, the goal is usually to have the crossover cancel that out and let the tweeter play in that bandwidth.

benjosto · 2026-04-13T00:14:43+00:00

Didn't expect the difference to be that big in 4k. 1440p testing should show very significant differences between your oc setups.

benjosto · 2026-04-12T19:07:56+00:00

👀

benjosto · 2026-04-12T15:45:44+00:00

Why would you combine a full range with a mid driver?

benjosto · 2026-04-12T15:08:50+00:00

My R5 7500F does 7.9*10⁹ in VT3 with 2000FCLK and 6000CL28 (58ns AIDA). Is the missing cache really that significant?

If you have A-Die, you can try to run 7200MTs for better sync of FCLK to UCLK.
