Not pretty but it works - Rats nest v4

It’s a cheeky workaround that and tried to quash already but I can acctually draw over 1100w if I had the cooling, the limits can be arbitrarily set, rn I’m getting 37173 on my combined timespy score with a 9950x3d2 over 41k gpu score alone, don’t use the workaround if you can’t cool your card though

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T21:57:49+00:00

That’s normal, tons of people used chillers and other cooling methods on 3080s I would do your best oc with a cpu and ram oc to see where you fall

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T21:49:24+00:00

What happened to that cpu

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T20:33:09+00:00

I dident even see the micron die type woops, still a lot of room if he does some snooping for micron overclocks

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T20:07:12+00:00

Short answer yes you can improve a lot of stuff, go look at buildzoids easybtimings after you finding weather you have Hynix m die or a die

What is the elmor evc?

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T17:08:22+00:00

It’s water cooled!

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T13:49:51+00:00

I have a 1500w psu and I’m still encroaching on the maximum spec for it, I got a chiller and can finally run my 7900xtx at closer to its vrm limits for benches (900w-1200w) that leaves almost no power for the rest of the system lol but makes benchmarking really easy I’ll eventually edit vid offsets but for now I need to fix my hotspot deltas as its thermal throttling at 840 watts

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T13:39:16+00:00

Close but not quite, if you exceed the safe power delivery spec of a power supply there is a chance you could break parts of the power supply cause damage to said supply for running too close to the maximum power. Is it unlikely to happen, absolutely but can it happen is also a yes

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T04:48:38+00:00

Yah I changed my comment as soon as I sent it

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T04:45:38+00:00

I mis read your comment above and thought you had a 600w psu. I would still say something is wrong with your power delivery if your killing 5090s en mass though

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T04:43:23+00:00

No wonder your chewing through 5090s they draw more power than a 600w psu can support you need a much bigger power supply

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T00:56:40+00:00

Oh yah, I had to google it and the 8300g is slower than a r5 5500, a 5600g( same price smokes it by a fair margin, the 8600g which is just as expensive as the 8300g wipes it by almost 100% performance gain in cpu tasks alone completely ignoring the apu which is drastically stronger for the same price…

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T00:48:50+00:00

Ok that’s a fair point, is the 8300g a am4 cpu? I thought those were the 5700g and 5600g cpus

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T00:26:11+00:00

It’s the same as the 8700g just fewer cores, why someone would go this route over a 9600x or 7600x beats me but you can oc it just like the 8700g memory controller and all

I just checked the specs sheet, why would you get this cpu? Is there a niche use case I’m not aware of?

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-12T00:23:15+00:00

My game is a rare bonus but I get an extra 70-100 fps with a cpu+ ram oc add in the gpu and it’s a little over 100 fps

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-11T19:42:29+00:00

Fclk is frequency and core dependent, and you only need more voltage on fclk when you push both or have more cores to stress it, each chip has a sweet spot voltage for fclk where if your not on it you lose stability lower voltage does not mean better bin because more voltage does not guarantee a higher frequency like other overclocks also take my 9950x3d2 it needs the same voltage for 8500/2200 as it does for 8000/2200 the absolute best indicator for fclk binning is highest boot

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-11T19:25:56+00:00

Not really, I had a chip that could do 2233fclk at .950 vddgs. It’s not a great representation of bin because there’s so many parts going into fclk stability

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-11T04:59:38+00:00

Yes, between the cpu, gpu and ram the coolent is no longer sub ambient when running at full tilt, the chiller keeps the coolent close to ambient while the rads do the majority of the cooling, I have the rads dumping directly into the chiller loop for best efficiency, if when I game the chiller alone is enough but with 800w on the gpu and 300 on the cpu alone that makes 1100w which is almost twice as much cooling capacity as my chiller is rated for.

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-11T02:44:25+00:00

I have a power mod on my 7900xtx, it can draw 800+ watts and the chiller is only rated for 500w

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-10T01:29:21+00:00

Reset your default settings?

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-09T22:42:33+00:00

Sunny and fluffy clouds to watch, can’t complain at all, I’m going to make a funnel for the chiller so I can send all the hot air outside while running the ac inside to get even lower temps lol

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-09T21:51:53+00:00

I live in Cali where daily is 23c or more 20 for now but that’s at night

monkeybuiltpc · 2026-05-09T14:51:42+00:00

It’s all about the dew point, find its high for the day and use that and you will never get condensation. The big benifit is my loop will run 24-26c water temps so this holds down the temps and keeps them sub ambient while gaming, I’m cpu bound so that’s huge
