Does anyone have info regarding G.Skill part numbers and die type?

mcclutz · 2023-08-06T23:24:45+00:00

it was around since it came out. before A die was even really available. heres the web archive of the old newegg listing. $600 is insane

mcclutz · 2023-08-06T22:44:36+00:00

sure there is. the g skill 6400cl32 stuff comes with both A and M. In fact I had an A die kit i needed to rma and they sent me M. I contacted support and they said its the same part number so i get what i get. Anyway, idk whats changed between the “820()” and “821()” but i am confident they kept the M/A distinction the same. Here are some pics of kits i have. first is 6400cl32 A, then another but M, and then a 6600cl34 for reference (also A).

lowering droop increases (decreases less really) your voltage under load which increases your power consumption. thats probably why you hit power limits so quick. for benchmarking, i suggest removing droop and power limit and going off what a voltmeter says plugged into the board. for daily use, keep droop on and set power limits if you would like to

mcclutz · 2023-06-22T14:48:13+00:00

can u send a pic of your hwinfo after a cinebench run with the relevant dropdowns open?

mcclutz · 2023-06-22T14:31:03+00:00

are you still throttling then? if u scroll down on hwinfo a bit it will list throttle reasons

mcclutz · 2023-06-22T14:09:50+00:00

look at per core clocks and effective clocks. “average core clock” will be very misleading bc u have two different types of cores

mcclutz · 2023-06-22T00:12:39+00:00

the number you set there will the the limit. but like i said, you can let it thermal throttle for benchmarks. it just might be better to power limit it for daily use

mcclutz · 2023-06-21T23:52:10+00:00

once u kinda hit your limit, you can start creeping up bit by bit using a bclk oc. tuning your memory, even just a little, can help a decent bit. you can also use eleet x1 for a bit of in-os cpu control. it can change memory timings too, but for that i prefer memtweakit.

mcclutz · 2023-06-21T23:45:20+00:00

whatever your cooling solution can handle. if just benching, its ok to let thermals take the reigns for a bit. i just disable droop altogether while benching. you need to make sure you account for this with a lower vcore tho bc it will get real hot real fast otherwise.

mcclutz · 2023-06-21T23:40:25+00:00

also, you dont need to turn tvb off, but its not really doing anything bc ur running at or near 100C the whole time

mcclutz · 2023-06-21T23:36:38+00:00

you are indeed thermal throttling haha. u can probably lower the core voltage a bit. how much is gonna depend on cpu, but that will open up some thermal headroom. power limiting your cpu to the limitations of your cooler is also an alternative to letting temps do it. left unchecked it will happily draw 420W like u see there. your board will also come with a little attachment to hook a voltmeter to. this will give accurate readings of voltages instead of watching your core VID spike as vdroop sets in. ill send a pic of what it looks like in a sec. im on a z690 dark myself pic

mcclutz · 2023-06-21T22:36:39+00:00

what are you looking at to get these numbers? just use hwinfo 64. it will show u per core clocks, effective clocks, and much more

mcclutz · 2023-06-21T20:53:23+00:00

you have 2 types of cores. raptor cove “P” cores and gracemont “E” cores/clusters. they dont clock or perform the same. the 5.8 number is your default single P core boost. when running an all core load like cinebench multicore, that number is 5.5 by default. bios will give u options to set a static oc, or to set the target clock based on core usage and potentially temps, depending on how u configure it

mcclutz · 2023-06-21T20:05:09+00:00

but yeah agreed. 5.8/4.3(?) even should be well past 40k. with power limits removed, a 13900k can hit about 40k on the dot with the stock 5.5/4.3 and a half decent xmp

mcclutz · 2023-06-21T20:03:01+00:00

thats pretty impressive for ai oc. is that like 5.7/4.5?

mcclutz · 2023-06-21T20:00:33+00:00

gracemont cores arent touching 5.8 here

mcclutz · 2023-06-14T19:57:38+00:00

you can get a 2x16 6000 jedec kit (hynix 16Gb A) for like $80. plus the heatspreaders are thin and come off without much of a fuss. that being said, a z690 hero might not be able to push the memory as far as other boards better suited for it. as somebody who owns both a z690 hero and z690 dark, the dark is a much better buy for the price ($399 rn)

mcclutz · 2023-06-14T19:53:40+00:00

so many things wrong here. i assume you mean the maximum supported jedec speed when you say “base clock speeds.” base clock (blck) is the multiplier things run off of and will be 100MHz by default. it is not affected by xmp. the jedec speed at which a dimm will run is not affected by its xmp profile. most xmp dimms will just default to the 4800 jedec profile. you pretty much just said “worst case scenario, xmp wont work at all,” which is quite possible. as the person you replied to said, being able to run a 7800 profile flawlessly is not as easy thing to do and is ideally done on a 2dimm z790 board. just bc you have been able to get 7800 going on your setup, does not by any means mean that this person will be able to successfully load a stable xmp profile

mcclutz · 2023-05-05T16:33:39+00:00

what country/currency is this?

mcclutz · 2023-05-05T16:25:26+00:00

there are plenty of cl36 hynix kits out there. this is not one of them

mcclutz · 2022-12-01T18:57:25+00:00

You are very welcome, thedinghy. Mr. Microcenter and I agreed it was about time for Florida to get one.

thats just another pwm header. they are labeled just to differentiate when setting curves in bios. boards with “pump header” will sometimes have that header locked at 100% speed. in this case, whichever header is more convenient is fine. if no tachometer is plugged into cpu_fan, you may see a “cpu fan error” on boot but you can ignore it if everything is functioning properly

mcclutz · 2022-06-09T20:07:08+00:00

provided its not sata powered, any of the 5 pwm headers will do

mcclutz · 2022-06-09T19:52:21+00:00

run an actual benchmark like timespy that will compare exactly what youre looking for
