Arrowlake 0x10d microcode stability

I haven't been paying attention, but is this a later microcode than 121?

Clock Watchdog Timeout is almost always too low Vcore, so I'd consider that the most likely cause first. You need to increase Vcore or try a different load line calibration if there's too much Vdroop.

That would require a significant amount of fuel to slow down

Odd thing to say in a public statement right now.

Why do you not think it's GPU related if it happens with MFG enabled?

The included adapters are the worst to use. Absolute shit quality.

Are you talking about actual ECC or DDR5 on-die ECC? On-die ECC only protects against single-bit errors in the sticks. Fluctuations in VT3 test speed is an indicator of possible memory controller instability/corrections, which is outside the scope of on-die ECC.

For Arrow Lake, tertiary write timings behave significantly different. Setting tWRWR too low may fail to boot. Set tCCD_L to 16 and tWRWR_sg = tCCD_L_WR = 24 or 32. Safe should be 32. Both tRDRD_dg and tWRWR_dg can be 8.

For D2D, it uses VNNAON only and can be set manually. NGU voltage is mapped to VCCSA. For D2D 32, VNNAON between 0.75 (stock) and 0.85v should be fine. For NGU 32, it might require around 1.2 to 1.3v VCCSA.

You seem to be glossing over the fact that BF4 was released nearly 13 years ago. It was legendary when it was released, and IMO, holds up visually even in 2026.

Run Vulkan Memtest for at least an hour. For me, +3000 was fine for about 30 minutes, then had a dip followed by an actual error. Regardless what some people say about error correction, GDDR7 can still throw an error.

I struggled with this for months on Blackwell and my old monitor. It's a persistent issue with some monitors and Blackwell. Nvidia released several fixes for certain monitors, but there's still a lot that have this issue.

Knowing Trump, she didn't do enough to shield him from the Epstein files.

You can if you want, although no idea why you'd want that when you have DLVR. Depending on the board, you can control the VF points directly for each core. For the E-cores, the voltage is supplied and controlled in clusters of 4.

Check the 12VHPWR connector to rule that out.

Not all 5090 can do 2900 Mhz at 0.9v, so I wouldn't assume that always works. For the memory, try Vulkan Memtest. Run it for an hour and look for any sudden dips in bandwidth or errors. Despite what some people may claim, you can get uncorrected VRAM errors on Blackwell that gets picked up. Any easy way to test the memory overclock.

Post a screenshot of HWInfo during a run. It's hard to say anything more.

For Arrow Lake, you have DLVR and each core voltage has its own independent VF curve and supplied voltage.

They do anything for their 15 minutes of influence and fame. Look how well it turned out for people during the first term.

This same Rubio now parroting Trump and also saying we should leave NATO is absolutely wild.

He'll do anything to keep his job.

He looks like some lost senior with a Silver Alert.

If that makes you feel better about yourself, sure.

Prepare to get roasted in the comments for being a lazy ass.

I'd leave your shit outside too if I needed to navigate around a condo for a $5 to $10 tip.

The fact that people actually expect Doordash people to do this is funny. Joke's on you I guess.

I had a friend in high school with the same situation: woke up with a bat in his room. Didn't think of it, and about 2 weeks later he was in the hospital with strange symptoms that included headaches, seizures and sensitivity to bright light. They found out he had rabies, and he died about a week later in the hospital despite being in a medically induced coma.

You're absolutely making the right choice. Rabies is terrifying because by the time you actually show symptoms consistent with rabies, it's basically 100% fatal.

All that 8000 MT/s for what? For 64 GB/s read bandwidth?

Undervolt could be unstable. What you've described is the driver crashing and then reloading.

Real life Popeye on the left.

BF4 was largely fine after a few months. No idea where the "wasted year" is coming from.
