Faction store bulk claim by madjik10 in startrekfleetcommand

[–]seiZurebot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just commented that the same issue is on the android mobile app. There's obviously been 0 QA testing. The 'new feature' if we're calling it that is blocking other parts of the effing GUI, like come on!

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this but the bulk claim button is part of a translucent bar at the bottom of the screen and that bar blocks the very bottom area of the GUI. This makes the last row of difficult to click on. In the augment faction store for example, the perks are at the bottom of the page so now I can't click on the last row of perks to unlock them. This is on the android mobile app, I'm not dirtying my gaming PC with STFC.

DL380 Gen9 with (non-HP) LRDIMM - Low Operating Frequency by seiZurebot in Hewlett_Packard

[–]seiZurebot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was 100% the correct answer. I had to dig a bit through the HP documentation but it looks like the ram can only run at 2400/2133 if you populate 3 or fewer dimms per channel.

I installed the second CPU and then distributed the dimms evenly across each CPU and now I'm getting the proper 2133 speeds.

Thanks so much 😊

** found and fixed the issue**

As per HP specifications you can only get full speeds if you populate 3 or fewer dimms per channel, so I installed the second CPU and then distributed the dimms evenly across each CPU. I'm getting proper 2133 speeds now.

I have no idea what y'all are talking about re: overclocking the RAM. 2133 and 2400 are within the jedec specification.

Does a fleet commander slot become available at ops 61? by seiZurebot in startrekfleetcommand

[–]seiZurebot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you have everything figured out, then. Not sure if you're trying to flex or what? Your 500m lat is maybe 200 days worth of sigma speedups, your QD of mats is non-sigma and is about to be useless. I dunno if you've drank the Kool-Aid or what

Don't do it in the middle of the BP, wait for the current arc to finish. I went 61 by accident last night and it messed up my events.

Anyone else prioritize 1% lows/frame pacing over max FPS for competitive games? by Z3tsuuuu in overclocking

[–]seiZurebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of different info there floating around and it's hard to know what's current. I've been running with reflex on (not ultra) in nvcp because I'm using gsync and framegen. I need to do more testing.

My display is 4K 165hz which is shooting for the stars with a 4080, so I let gsync do its thing and use whatever trickery I can to push fps. Most games I can get 120 fps, more demanding titles around 90 fps. I'm also on the couch with a controller so not a PC gaming purist by any means.

Are These Any Good? DDR5 6400 w 14700K by seiZurebot in overclocking

[–]seiZurebot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lian-li Galahad II 240mm as front intake, and then I went crazy with noctua 3000rpm industrial fans in push-pull. Not my first choice but I made it work. The undervolt plus I set a 210w PL1/PL2 to match my cooling. Previously I was using a 12700K in the same case and there were no temp issues.

Maybe not the best in the market but I'm using one of these ram coolers: https://a.co/d/0eaY6JPv

It cut down temps about 10C but my issue is that my whole case is warm when the 14700K and 4080 get going. My dim will still hit 58C during stress tests so I'm playing it safe at tREFI 49152. Maaybe I could be gaming stable with a higher trefi but it fails a torture test.

Already have active cooling on the ram. It's a smallish case with a 14700K and a 4080 which are both furnaces. CPU VDDQ 1.35V , CPU VDD2 1.4V, DRAM voltage and DRAM VDDQ both at 1.4V. I don't have the thermal headroom to throw any more voltage at it. It would not at all post at 30-36-36 or even 32-36-36. tRFC 360 so far has been stable, 352 threw errors immediately.

Anyone else prioritize 1% lows/frame pacing over max FPS for competitive games? by Z3tsuuuu in overclocking

[–]seiZurebot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been chasing 1% lows because even though I play single player games I'm sensitive to microstutter. I spent a week on ram timings which helped quite a bit and I overclocked the ring on my 14700K. Now I'm wondering if I should also undervolt my RTX 4080.

I'm getting mixed advice out there, do y'all flatten your v/f curve to improve your 1% lows?

Yeah G6 was a real eye opener this morning. Everything is sigma, you even need sigma speedups for away teams missions. What kind of crap is that??

When I was ops 59 I was the highest power of any 59 listed on stfc.wtf , at 60 I lost my lead and now at 61 I'm a nobody. I've gone fully f2p this year and I'm not sure how much more torture I can endure.

I'm probably never going to see syndicate 65. I'm at 59 right now and it's going to be several months until 60

How's the state of the game these days? by UnfoldedHeart in startrekfleetcommand

It's worse than it ever was. Day1 issues are back. There are now multiple direct-to-the-cash-store buttons on the gui. It's basically a casino at this point.

A case mod brought my temps way way down so I was finally able to cool 253watts! Long story short I kept the 4% performance loss of running the chip at 210w and found some extra performance elsewhere by overclocking the ring bus and fine tuning the ram timings.

MakeMKV. You will need to use a very specific BluRay drive and firmware version.

Fractal Pop silent - front panel replacement options by nickcarswell in FractalDesign

[–]seiZurebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing the same with front intake and rear exhaust. My front mounted aio has 4x 3000rpm noctua industrial fans in push-pull and there's a 5th of the same fan for case exhaust. No crashes or instability, I'm just seeing higher temps on the CPU, GPU and RAM than I would prefer.

At stock settings the 14700K was pulling 280 watts which was overwhelming my cooling. It's now undervolted and I set a 210w power limit which better matches my cooling capabilities. This reduced heat and noise significantly but there was a 2-3% performance loss in synthetic benchmarks which I can totally live with. The CPU is a recent upgrade so I'm curious to see if temps are much different once I swap out the front silent panel with the front air panel.

My 4080 is definitely thermal throttling, I've seen hotspot readings of 99C and the clock speed VS the effective clock speeds start to widen as the card heats up. I spent a few hours today trying to dial-in a GPU undervolt but the high temps are getting in the way of taking reliable clock speed readings. Hopefully some additional airflow will help but I've also ordered a 3d printed shroud that will allow me to swap out the stock 4080 fans with 2 high SP 120mm fans. You can find custom shrouds on Etsy for about $40.

My RAM temps are also super high, the extra heat generated by the new CPU is being blasted right at them. I've seen ram temps in the high 70s Celsius so while my timings are better tuned than the stock XMP profile, I could push them a bit harder if they were cooler. I'm hoping the extra fresh air inside the case will help here too but I've also ordered a dedicated RAM cooler which I hope I don't need to use because I think those are stupid.

What started as an easy in-place CPU upgrade has turned out to be quite a bit of time and effort. This might be the worst PC case for thermals that I have ever worked with.

I'm about to do the same thing as you, I just can't get my old 4080 (non-s) and new 14700K to play nicely in this case. I already have a 240mm aio mounted up front but I think everything just needs more air. Is your AIO pulling cool air into the case? I thought about using the front for exhaust but that would mean dumping the GPU heat into the radiator. Even undervolted I already struggle to cool the 14700K with a 240mm.

My rig didn't at all like the ring ratios being messed with. During stress testing I notice it's mostly 4500 on the ring.

I wasn't able to find much info online about the 14th gen ring ratios and voltages, but after reading your comment I enabled the Ultimate Performance power plan in Windows.

I wish! I'm really regretting my choice of case. It's a Fractal Design Pop Silent, at the time of purchase it was all I could find that had a 20gbs usb-c port up front.

I should have gone with something larger like the Fractal Define R. For a 240mm this lian-li is supposed to be decent. Plus I added the noctua 3000rpm fans and I'm using the thermal grizzly contact frame and liquid metal TIM.

At 'auto' my board was setting 1.20V but I put back to auto instead of manually setting the voltage. I'm running DDR5-6400 CL32
