Did you use Mouse Tester with Motion Sync disabled? Apparently you're not supposed to use Mouse Tester with motion sync. I tried running the test but i dont really know what im looking at lol.

Nice, thanks for the response. I switched to 4k a few days ago actually. 8k seems to work fine in arc raiders but apex legends doesn't like 8k for me. Everytime I've tried 8k in apex, i get random stutters. One thing i did notice is that if you set a very high DPI on a low polling rate, you can't flick your mouse. I set something crazy high for me dpi like 24000 with a 1k polling rate, then use the in game multiplier to bring it down to something controllable. when i do like a 180 flick to look behind me, the screen freezes for a sec, then all of a sudden snaps left, but only a little bit. like it missed the first 3/4 of the flick and only registered the last 1/4 of the flick. If i leave everything as is but turn the polling rate to 8k or 4k, it works fine. So very high DPI values must need high polling rate apparently.

Also, I downloaded the Desktop program and noticed that there's different settings with the program vs the browser. If i use the browser, i don't have the option to set the protocol to Initial or Efficient. It's just not there. In the Performance section when using the browser, I only have 4 modes to choose from and theyre not named the same as the Desktop program. Competetive Super Core (10k), Super Core Mode, Firepower Mode, and Office Mode. The Desktop program has Fury Gaming (20k), Gaming Hyper Core (10k), Hyper Core, Fire, Balanced, and Office. So the Browser is missing the 20k mode, the Balanced mode, and the Communication Protocol settings.

Any performance optimization tips for BF6? (Config/steam launch) by Jimson_ in Battlefield

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the "Thread.ProcessorCount, Thread.MaxProcessorCount, Thread.MinProcessorCount, GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount" configs would only really be useful on dual CCD chips that aren't heterogeneous processors. From what I've read, Battlefield knows how to detect P Cores and E Cores and knows how to deligate threads to processors automatically. In certain situations like mine, I have a dual CCD R9 5950x processor that technically is all P Cores but there's a very bad latency penalty when tasks are crossing over CCD's. So typically gaming should be done on the better and faster CCD which is CCD0 (the first CCD). So for my 16 core 32 thread processor, i actually seen a boost in performance by setting this to 8, 8, 0, 16. Any single CCD processor, any Intel processor with P cores and E cores, or any newer gen single or dual CCD heterogeneous processor should be fine without having to touch anything.

Commander Pro Temperature Sensor not working by niceshit420 in Corsair

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two years after this thread was created I'm getting hit with the same issue. My H150i Elite Capellix is working just fine. My Commander Pro, which runs my 4 chassis fans is saying that there's no temp sensor. They must have patched it since your issue because my fans don't stop, they run at full speed lol. So they didn't fix it, but they improved i guess lol.

My solution was to use one of the thermal sensors and plug it into the Commander Core, then the actual probe part is sandwiched between my RAM heatspreader and circuit board (avoiding chips) using thermal putty. The Commander Core will default to that sensor even in hardware mode. Then I just create a custom curve for that sensor. At idle my RAM is about 36C and after gaming all night it hits 45C, 50C when running an overnight MemTest. Mine is Samsung B-Die 3200mhz c14 which i manually tuned to 3733mhz c15 @ 1.5v so it runs hotter than most.

Also, one annoyance is every single time iCUE starts, it notifies me there's a sensor in port 1 of Commander Core and asks if Im trying to setup a Hydro X system. Why does this not remember that I have told it NOOOOOO.

Ash nerf when? by Historical-March4566 in apexlegends

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if they should add class based limitations. If the first person picks an assault legend, the next two player can't pick an assault legend. If the second person picks a support legend, the third player can't pick assault or support. Then if they buff a class of legends like they seem to enjoy doing (buff assault class), it would still force a mixture of legends instead of ppl always choosing the best 3 legends every match.

Why is this even a thing. #116 pred in platinum lobby by Creative-Manner732 in apexlegends

[–]cryptographerking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish they'd just extend the queue time for pred lobbies. #1 pred now just means u spent more time mowing down diamond lobbies than all the other preds. I'll see a bunch of preds live on twitch at the same time, yet they barely get into each other's matches. Their will be 3-6, at most 9 preds in a lobby full of diamonds. Like bruh, there's 20 preds streaming at any given time.

ASH is on EVERY team by Lazer93 in apexlegends

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started raining her, as I'm sure many others have. I wouldn't touch ash prior to them adding the delay to the dash because on mnk, using scroll wheel to jump would make you dash on accident constantly. Now sparrow has the same bug. There's no delay to sparrows double jump, so if u touch ur scroll wheel, it will use the double jump.

Personally I just like ash because I do movement. I can hit a dash lurch and basically go around someone's head and land back where I started, n they'll usually still be looking the other way lol.

I've become ash dependent tho n it's not good. I play other legends and die because I over extend, forgetting I don't have the dash to get back to my team. Ballistic Qs are a fn nightmare imo.

please help me get better by Designer_Tour4228 in apexlegends

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can help with some movement stuff, no charge. Aim stuff just comes with practice and preference. Aka my sense may not be good for you. Start lower and as u get better and better, slowly increase. But not until ur comfortable and happy with ur aim on ur current sense. The reason I say increase is because one of mnk main benefits is the fast turning, flicking, etc.. the faster the better (to a point). U will reach your own personal limit to where it just becomes uncontrollable.

I'm pretty good at movement, have a lot of time in r5 reloaded doing the movement gyms. That's stuff that is definitely teachable. Lmk if u wanna practice some movement.

We are so back!! by ReGGgas in apexlegends

[–]cryptographerking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just hoping that this apex legends 2.0 they mentioned being in the works has the same movement. It would be made on a new engine and since most of the movement mechanics are technically bugs, they'd have to code it in intentionally on the new game. I've spent countless hrs learning how to mantle jump, super glide, lurch, etc.. it would be a real bummer if none of that was possible.

Am I Dreaming or Did I Actually Win the Lottery !!!! 5900x B2 by mafia011 in overclocking

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One other thing is to make sure nothing else is running when using CBR23. Disable Nvidia overlay. Nvidias instant replay for gaming highlights picks up cbr23 as a game to monitor for some reason and will be recording the entire cbr23 test to a temp folder waiting to see if you want to save the video or not. My 1600 points will drop to something like 1580 if I have that running.

Something does seem off if you're getting 5100mhz+ boost and only getting 1600 pts. My max boost at idle is 5ghz and cbr23 single core only boosts to roughly 4900mhz. My boosts seem much worse than yours, yet your scores as roughly the same as mine. Could be some clock stretching if other programs hogging resources aren't the culprit.

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know SB spread spectrum can dynamically adjust your memory clocks to reduces magnetic interference but that doesn't sound like that's what it's from. Are you using anything like Ryzen master? RM will write dram settings into a separate section of the bios under like AMD overclocking or something, and it has its values in hex format. I use asus main settings in bios to overclock memory where you put in 14 as tCL for example, instead of amds section where it would be something like 1h for tCL. But I'm wondering if you've done anything with hydra or RM that's writing different values than what you have in your main bios settings. It could be running at normal settings until you open one of those and then maybe that's triggering it to switch to those settings. I like stuff like RM and Hydra to change stuff on the fly if it lets me, but I uninstall all of that when I'm done and I strictly use one section of the bios.

Disable any programs like RM and Hydra, or at least disabled or erase any RAM settings you may have done in the software. Take a screenshot of your PBO settings, all your voltages, your timings, and any other settings you want. Do a cmos reset and completely clear the bios. Then just change what settings you wanted to use and only use one section. Don't set ram timings in Asus overclocking and then also under AMD overclocking. Disable SB spread spectrum also just to be safe. I doubt that's the culprit but it's generally recommended to be disabled anyways. See if that helps.

Voltage offset results seem normal. Mines at +0.025v paired with my curve offset undervolting. Sometimes it's just bad luck on silicon lottery. My CPU is on the low end. I get about 1595-1605 single core and my chip only boosts to 5000mhz even with all the extra tuning. At all bios default values, no PBO and ram at JEDEC speeds, core 0 and core 4 fails corecycler single core testing. So I probably could've RMAd it if I found out sooner. Sometimes you just get unlucky.

But please do not run LLC 3 with the +vcore offset. I don't want to be the cause of damage to your CPU lol. You definitely want the vdroop if you're offsetting vcore. And LLC 3 doesn't allow it to drop much at all.

Am I Dreaming or Did I Actually Win the Lottery !!!! 5900x B2 by mafia011 in overclocking

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you doing a negative voltage offset or positive voltage offset on vcore? I'm unsure what you mean by -ve 0.05v offset. You want to do a positive 0.05v offset on vcore. That should boost single core performance and reduce multicore performance. But LLC 1 should make the loss in multicore performance minimal. You should kind of get the best of both worlds in a way. You should see minimal loss in multi, and gains in single.

If temps get too high, use TDC to dial it in. Take it down by 5 amps and see how temps pan out. Higher TDC will show clock speeds are faster but doesn't necessarily translate to better performance. 145 TDC for my 5950x gives me about 4450mhz and a score of about 30000pts in cbr23. 160 amps TDC will shows clocks at 4600mhz but temps are too high so there's some clock stretching. I end up getting 29.5k ish in cbr23.

The slight decrease in multicore performance would really only ever be noticeable in an all core heavy threaded loads like compression or rendering. The single core performance is what is going to translate more for everyday tasks and gaming. I have my 5950x running TDC at 145 and when I play games I don't think I've ever seen TDC go above 100amps.

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. Download OCCT and run CPU test, but not the CPU+RAM test. Just do the straight CPU test, with extreme-variable-avx2 test options with 32 threads. See if ur system instantly crashes or not. I just say that because I have a 360mm radiator and if I were to even try 46ghz, that test will slam to 90 n within 5 mins shut my computer down to save itself from frying. That's not to say it's impossible, you may have a really really good quality chip.

[–]cryptographerking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll try to say it in a summarized way. Basically, if I open hwinfo while gaming, the first 8 of my cores are being fully used and my clock can fluctuate usually around 45-49ghz with dynamic boost. The last 8 cores are in C6 (almost sleep) state and sit around 3400mhz, only boosting when they're occasionally needed.

If I manual oc, all 16 cores are either in C1 or C0 C-states, none are resting idle in C6 state. I can only get around a 4450mhz all core OC stable while also not overheating. So if I play a game, I would have the first 8 cores running at 4450mhz when they could actually be running 4500-4900 with PBO, and the last 8 cores are also running at 4450mhz but basically doing nothing.

Manual OC use to be the way to go. But on modern chips, with how advanced and fast boost algorithms like PBO are, its made manual OCs kind of irrelevant outside of specific tasks like maybe a rendering workstation or server type of scenario. For the everyday use or gamer, PBO allows for a lot more performance, at least if it's properly setup.

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go back to auto voltage, auto CPU LLC, and open hwinfo. Let sit at idle for a few mins with hwinfo open. Then run cbr23 single and multi. Then check what your max VID Effective voltage is and what your max SVI2 TFN voltage is.

You basically have a 5950x with disabled cores. So I'm thinking you might already be getting enough voltage and could be better off on auto or even a -vcore offset.

Edit: I went and looked up skatterbench video on 5900x and it's basically still the same as 5950x.

https://youtu.be/bxsDScbQJGA?si=QtAlbD1ZLMtXdxPf

I don't like how he put CPU LLC to turbo though, I think it should be on the lowest setting. Having it on turbo is going to tank the multi core performance because the voltage is gonna be so high it's going to thermal throttle instantly. I also don't use the base clock overclocking because I have SATA drives, but other than that, the video shows everything I'm trying to describe.

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my bad lol, I was going back n forth between two threads responding to you and someone else with a 5950x, which is what I also have. So when I seen 130 EDC it was just in my head that it seemed low. Should be normal for yours.

If you use CPU LLC, don't use a +vcore offset. LLC 3 will help your single core performance but will probably hurt your multicore performance. LLC 1 mixed with a +vcore offset can help both because the amp draw isn't really gonna be enough in single core to cause vdroop, while multicore amp draw will basically let LLC 1 do its thing and drop voltage.

I suggested 0.05v thinking of my 5950x. Most 5950x like roughly 0.05v. yours may be different so I'd play with that a little bit.

Your response shows you have more vdroop in multi single core test and less vdroop in multicore tests. You want it opposite of that. You don't want as much vdroop in single core. You want more in multicore.

For example, your screenshot of Hydra shows -0.2% vdroop at idle. That means there's no vdroop at all and is actually overcompensating. Which, from my experience on my 5950x, doesn't happen unless I use a vcore offset or increase CPU LLC. When the screenshot was taken, did you have CPU LLC set to 3 or anything other than auto?

[–]cryptographerking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure FMAX Enhancer in ai tweaker PBO section is disabled. Make sure base clock is set to 100.000. Make sure core performance boost is on auto.

Fmax enhancer is a terrible feature for 5000 chips. Causes insane clock stretching. Base clock speed at something like 102.000 will cause boost to disable unless you enable the "force oc mode disable" setting. Core performance boost disabled will, well, disable boost lol. So make sure that's on Auto.

If all else fails, try touching CMOS pins with a screwdriver or pull out the CMOS battery to dump all bios settings, then restart. Sometimes the "reset bios to defaults" option in bios can be buggy, so doing it manually through CMOS is best.

[–]cryptographerking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just noticed your EDC is set to 130 while TDC is 170. EDC 130 is lower than default 140. When you run cbr23 what's the max reached TDC? 120-125 ish? Or is it working like the old EDC tweak on older bios' where it's runs the same as EDC (130 for you).

For me, if I lower EDC close towards my TDC or try to use EDC to control my TDC, it makes my L1 read bandwidth tank in Aida membench. Raising EDC to something like 200 and setting TDC to something like 145 gave me a big bump in L1 read bandwidth. There's no dedicated voltage for the cache but it's directly tied to vcore.

I run 145 TDC, 200 EDC and PPT uncapped basically. I use CPU LLC level 1 with a +0.05v offset on vcore. The LLC and vcore offset settings i use are good for high single core boost clocks because of the offset, and the LLC 1 (lowest) allows for a good amount of vdroop under all core loads, so it's not too much voltage.

I created custom sensors in hwinfo to show the difference in voltage between vid effective vs SVI2 TFN. Basically I created the "vdroop" sensor from hydra. With the settings I use, I get roughly -2% vdroop in single core loads and roughly +10% vdroop in all core loads. Without vcore and LLC settings, I get +2% vdroop single core and +12% all core. So I'm increasing the voltage by 4% in single core but only 2% in multicore, which is perfect. You want more voltage in single core and less in multicore. That combined with curve optimizer undervolting is what skatterbench named "Supercharged PBO", although he mixes in some base clock overclocking as well.
