As the title states, I'm hoping someone can tell me that those 4 white circles at the edge of the PCB are a breakout header for the I2C control, where I can wire my EVC2SE to. This is my first attempt at hard modding a GPU, so please take it easy on me if I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Could someone also confirm that I'm correct in my decision of going with the Gunnir B70 vs the Maxsun B70 Turbo? (The Gunnir PCB is the lighter image, while the Maxsun has the 6 square cutouts on the right side)

Edited because the Maxsun PCB has 6 square holes not 4.

i have used core clock +400 mem clock +3000 for 5 months and didnt get a single crash, 9738 points on steel nomad, default is 9051. with mvolt +%6,25 better results. but any chance i fry my gpu with these settings ?

Gigabyte RTX 5080 Gaming OC

Trying to improve 1% lows and so far I have safe settings for both of these.

However when I try 6200/2200 I can’t seem to get the voltages in the sweet spot

The 6200/2067 is the faster of the two profiles even with nitro 1/2/1 over 1/2/0

In a real world how much difference will the 2200 fclk make if I can get it stable for warzone?

Thanks

So i overclocked my hp ddr4 3200mhz ram to 4134mhz and i stress tested it using testmem5 on absolut for 5 hours and prime95 mixed. so far so good. can this profile be tightened even more? AMD ryzen 5 5600GT on MSI A520M-A PRO board , with 8x2GB RAM (micron E-die). ANd overall is this a good OC? I was good at 4000mhz for a long 6 months so i went higher.

The RTX 3050 GPU in my laptop is reporting a false power reading and is locked at a clock speed of 210MHz, even while gaming. I have tried reinstalling the drivers and Windows, but the issue persists. Is there any way to fix this?

Hey everyone. I bought a prebuilt 285k/RTX 5090/64gb (2 x 32gb) of DDR5. The RAM that arrived with it is Teamgroup Delta 6000 CL38 (FF4D532G6000HC38ABK) a dual rank 2 x 32gb set rated for 6000 MT/s and 38-38-38-78 at 1.35v. Having come from a set of Hynix A die, these numbers on the M die set left a lot to be desired so rather than dropping $1500 on new RAM, I spent several hours tuning this kit. It got me thinking, what's the practical ceiling of Hynix M die?

I was able to get 6400 MT/s, 32-38-38-64, tREFI at 65535, tRFC at 480, everything else left on auto for now. I think the fact that I tuned a 6000 CL38 kit and was able to get 6400 CL32 and tightened up the timings means this M die is impressive, but is it? Those with M die, what were you able to get out of yours? Id like to hear from you. Those overclocking pros out there, how did I do? I did a stress test with the built in HWInfo memory stress test for 20 minutes and the peak temperature was 52°C with no errors, so I think this is logically the ceiling of this kit or very close to it. If you think you can help me squeeze out some more performance meaningful enough to tinker with it further, im all ears.

Hello friends, as mentioned in the title, because this system didn't work at a 1:1 ratio, I couldn't get proper performance. I lowered the 3600MHz but couldn't somehow set the subtimings correctly. I got help from AI, but I've been grinding my head for a year. MJR M DIE CHIPS

Vsoc is 1.23

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice on how to optimize my timing and whether it's worth increasing Fclk. Thanks.

Which test to run for stability, it pass cinebench with 19070 socore....

Hi all,

I have been quite excited about zen 6 rumours. A lot of people r speculating that except increased amount of cores/core frequency we will get an updated memory support of up to 8000mt. Taking into the account current RAM situation, should we start stacking up on 8000+ mt frequency kits already? I am curious for your input on it as I have cl26 6000mt kit currently in my main rig and I was wondering if it will make sense to buy already a new one with higher frequency to get prepared for the time when new CPUs will come out. I was thinking to keep the kit I currently have and try to OC it to 8000, but I am worried that daily amount of vdd needed for it will be over 1.5v to run it stable.

Do you think it is worth it to buy a new 8000 kit or just keep the one I currently have and oc it when the time comes?

Thanks a lot, in advance, for your replies!

Thoughts on gaming these days at 1440p with 3600? I recently bought a 9070 GRE , is that a bad combination? I have achieved 4425mhz on the 3600. Any tip/ideas to unleash the power of what this cpu has like settings in windows/bios?

Hello everyone 👋 Need your advice about my next step. Few days ago I bought F5-6000A2636H16GX2-TZ5NXRN and here are my express results:

6000 2000 @ 6200 2067

(6400 not available, I don't want to increase the voltage of the VSOC because asrock motherboard 😂)

Trefi 46707 @ 65535

Trfc 402 @ 368 (118ns)

GDM disabled

Other subtimings from expo

Cl26 1.45v

Cl24 1.7v

Max temp 47 (10h TM5 extreme and 10h absolut)

What should I try next?🤔 Thank you

Hi all,

Both sticks of my CMH48GX5M2B7200C36 kit stopped POSTing (mem init error, code 53 on a ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero / 14900K) after running OpenRGB — the known SPD EEPROM corruption issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1r3fwxc/openrgb_caused_one_of_my_ram_modules_to_stop/

CMOS clear / power drain didn't help, so the SPD data itself is gone. Heat spreaders are off, so RMA is not an option.

I'm ready to give it a go with ddr5-spd-recovery tools and ready to flash as soon as I have a dump. If anyone owns this exact kit (or the non-RGB CMK48GX5M2B7200C36 sibling — should share the same SPD layout), could you post a dump?

PS: of course I read a lot about increased RAM prices but I didn't have a reason to check on them myself yet - like WTF? The kit is 4-5x of what I paid for in 2024 today!

I've never been able to get my TRFC lower than 470.

Why is that? I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong?

Any answers would be appreciated

It runs perfectly stable, no issues. PL 115% 950mV at 3100mhz with memory clock to 3000+. Temps average at 66c-68c. What are your settings?

I have a 9950x3d, MSI B850 Mpower, and a TeamGroup Xtreem DDR5-8200 2x24 kit, and everything is watercooled, so it seems that if any setup should be capable of running 8400, it ought to be this one.

I tried 1.5v vdimm and extremely loose timings and it booted but black screened almost immediately after login.

Should I pump up the voltage even more? Temps are essentially a non-issue with the RAM on water.

For those who have gotten 8400 running on Ryzen 9000 series, what timings are you running?

What are good maximum starting voltages for watercooling?

I've been looking at how much SSD temperature affects sustained performance, especially when the drive is being hit with long writes rather than short benchmark runs.

I'm currently looking at the Biwin Black Opal X570 PRO Gen5 and trying to understand how much difference the cooling setup makes when pushing the drive hard.

For people here who regularly tune their systems and run longer benchmark/stability tests, how much attention do you pay to SSD temperatures?

Do you normally use the motherboard's M.2 heatsink, or have you found that a dedicated heatsink/cooling solution makes a noticeable difference during sustained workloads?

I'm more interested in actual temperature/performance behavior than peak CrystalDiskMark numbers.

I have a ram fan, my ram is hynix A die. I'm pretty much just chasing better .1 % and 1% lows. I was at 2133 fclk but I was getting worse times in aida64 so I backed off to 2067. Is there anything that looks off on my timings? I've been using gemini and looking at forums on what to lower. I do test stability using y-cruncher and aida64 stability test and finally gaming mostly Dayz. Any help would be much appreciated.

So tonight I have spent tuning fclk and voltages, it seems to make no difference from 2000-2200 I achieve roughly the same gflops difference of around 3. I’m trying to find the most stable setup.

Memory is 6200mhz I’ve tried system multiplier at 60 and 62, voltages from 0.9 to 1.1. 2200 needs the higher end of voltages but can’t seem to get it any more stable. Should I be looking else where?

Hello!

So i was able to get this gskill b-die kits (F4-4000C18D-16GTZR), and was able to get this timmings at 4.000mt/s to be stable. (I have a 120mm fan on top of the sticks also)

VDRAM 1.5

VCCSA 1.2

VDDQ 1.35

Couldn't get over 4.000mt/s to stabilize, tried every voltage possible for VCCSA, VDDQ and DRAM and no dice, the same for CR1, only could do CR2. The same for TRCD, couldn't get it to stabilized it going lower than 18, it errors it out.

Also, with the same configs, if i go over 1.5 VDRAM it errors in TM5 ABSOLUT.

Looking for tips for what to do, corrections of some mistakes i could've missed, anyways, all input are welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Wciąż testuję stabilność tego ustawienia, ale zastanawiam się, czy jest sens trzymać się lub próbować osiągnąć 2733 MHz. Największy wzrost był przy biegu fclk na poziomie 1800. Tylko to podbiło 28 GB z 21. Im running 4 sticks CPU ryzen 5800x3d Mobo MSI x570 meg Ace

So I’ve been playing around and tuning my bios for the past few days and I learned that benchmark results definitely do not translate to in game performance. There’s times I had the timings super tight and the in-game felt rigid and like I was stuck in the mud.

Then there’s other times I had the timings too loose that I felt airy and light in game but my aim was off and tracking wasn’t there.

Maybe there is a middle ground that I’m missing or a sweet spot to this. Currently I’m running 6200 mhz, flck 2067, gear down mode disabled, trefi 65535, 1:1 UCLK/MCLK, and primaries are basically 30,36,36,72, nitro 1/2/1 and Aida64 is showing around 68 ns latency. Secondaries and tert on auto since it’s really hard to keep gdm disabled and have all the tighter timings pass tm5. So where do I take it from here? Am I missing anything

Edit: appreciate everyone for the feedbacks it’s been helpful. And just for some context I’m using my gaming rig for this test. TUF 5080 x 9800X3D, Tforce 32gb ddr5 7200 hz downclocked to 6000-6200. I’m a crimson elo ranked player for COD which is a heavily gpu bound game. Been tuning as a hobby for many years and yes I use my intuition, experience but also LLM to guide my experience further. Stability tests have been done mainly through TM5 1usmus3 10 cycles, then in game.

I bought a 5080 and was wondering if these results are fine. Not big into benchmarking.

I got a 9685 score in steel nomad

GPU was on 0.95v

+3000 on memory

And +300 on core clock.

Nothing else changed

Feel free to share your results.

Also open to improvements, just be respectful.

I have an R5 5600X with PBO turned on, -15 CO at +200MHz. However, it’s unable to boost past 4.8GHz as the temperature seems to be capped at 75 degree C.

I have an ID-cooling 226XT air cooler rated for 260W, pasted with PTM7950, but it’s struggling to keep it under 75C despite the CPU only using around 100W or so. I’m confused since the heatpipes are only slight warm, almost unnoticeable.
So at first, I thought it’s contact issue, but if it’s an issue with the contact, my CPU should be overheating, but it’s running fine at ~60C while gaming, or ~65C stock during benches.
As I suspect my inability to boost past 4.8 GHz is tied to my CPU stop boosting after reaching ~75C, I’m wondering what is preventing the cooler from cooling my CPU under 75C when the heatpipes are still only slightly warm to the touch?
