​I was dumb enough to sand down my first 270k. Decided to try delidding another one, and it looks like a success—except for one P-core running a bit hot! Thanks for all the advice, hope you guys are doing awesome.

what i have:

cpu:

ryzen 7 2700x

ram: A-DATA Technology DDR4 3000 2OZ 8gb x2

Configured Memory Speed: 1333 MT/s

looks like the cpu supports up to 2933 MT/s for ram

and the motherboard supports up to 3200?

• AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Pinnacle Ridge) support DDR4 3200+(OC) / 2933(OC) / 2667 / 2400 / 2133 ECC & non-ECC, un-buffered memory*

does this mean i can safely boost up my ram speed to anything below 2933 MT/s?

Hey all,

Just looking for some ballpark stable settings that I could use for my Gigabyte 5070ti Windforce OC SFF. I have watched a couple of videos and all come up with different answers. I am looking to increase performance and hopefully improve thermals and power usage to some extent.

I realize it is a smaller heatsinked card and I'm not sure that the factory overclock model would change much from a full size non-OC 5070ti.

Anyone with this card or similar feel free to drop advice.

Wanted to share this in case it saves someone the same headache.

I've run a mild CPU overclock for about a year with no issues. Last week I got a higher-rated RAM kit and tried pushing memory speed further. Set the XMP profile, added a small voltage bump, ran a stress test, crashed within ten minutes.

Went through the usual steps. Dropped memory speed. Still crashed. Lowered voltage. Still crashed. Reverted the CPU overclock completely to rule it out. Still crashed. At this point I was sure the new kit was bad or incompatible, so I spent close to two hours adjusting timings one by one and retesting.

Then I opened the case to check the DIMM slots and noticed one stick wasn't fully seated. Not loose enough to stop booting, just loose enough to cause instability under load. Pushed it in, restored my original overclock, ran the test again. Passed clean.

Three hours of tuning for a problem that had nothing to do with settings at all.

Lesson learned: if instability shows up right after new hardware goes in, check the seating before touching any settings.

Anyone else had a "fix" turn out to be something totally unrelated to what you were actually tuning?

I’m looking for some thermal paste for my laptop as it’s been getting really hot of late – what would you recommend? I have an MSI Thin 15 UBC.

I think I nailed my overlock for what’s possible from a dual fan 5060. Ran a benchmark in occt for 8 hours and zero errors. I think I pushed this card to the limit

I undervolted, or tried, my 14600kf, disabled ia cep and set the dvoltage to -0,75

mobo is gigabyte gaming x b760

Hey guys, after a night of tinkering I was able to get the following stable, I wanted to know if you think it's worth pursuing 8600 and what you guys would personally do to get there?

Any advice is appreciated :D

Hello!

I have these two parts coming in today (upgrading from a 1070ti and 8700)!

Could anyone give me a dummy guide on what to do either these after I put them together later?

I don’t need to press them to the absolute limits, but if there’s something that any of you really recommend, please throw it my way!

i have this old card and today i thought it would be a nice idea to put the rx 6500xt bios into it so i would get a slightly higher clock speed and underclock it too. i tried to flash it but got a subsystem id mismatch, tried to change the value with an hex editor but still the same error. does anyone know how to do it? i already backed up the original bios and i have a secondary gpu so bricking it up is not a problem as i could always flash it back

Test settings

RX 9070 XT + 9800x3d & 9950x3d2

+10% Power Limit

-190 mV undervolt

2860 MHz memory

Fast Timing enabled

I actually expected the graphics score to be the same, or maybe even slightly higher on the 9800X3D. Instead, the 9950X3D2 consistently scored higher.

Sure, it could just be normal run-to-run variance, so I repeated the benchmark around 10 times on each CPU, chasing the highest score.

The 9950X3D2 came out ahead every single time.

Needing some assistance, well, hoping someone who's proficient in overclocking and tuning, and is familiar with this hardware, can help me tune this new build.

• ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO BTF
• Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual
• 30th Anniversary Matrix RTX 5090
• (x2) 48gb DDR5-6000 CL26 G.Skill F5 DIMMs in A2/B2
• 1600 watt MSI MEG Titanium PSU
• (x2) Samsung 9100 Gen 5 8tb NVMe's in slots M.2_1 and M.2_3 (for lanes)

... all in that alien-looking ASUS BTF case.

I've done what I'm comfortable doing: tried EXPO II, enabled PBO, was about to set the scaler to manual and 10x, but it crashed and I had to reset CMOS. Doing a change or two, checking AIDA64 Extreme scores, Cinebench 2024, making sure there are no errors in OCCT, things like that, but my scores just seem to be 'meh' but I'm hesitant to play with BIOS settings in-depth due to my lack of experience in this area.

Hopefully there's someone who can spell out (in a book 'For Dummies' format) what setting and where, because I tried a Google search, got some bad advice, and tried ChatGPT, which caused the CMOS reset mentioned earlier. Thanks all, for any time and/or help.

Overclocking back in the day, on water, generic copper blocks on cpu, northbridge, gpu. Chopped the top of my Antec out
P4 3.2ghz, 2x512MB Corsair DDR cl2, ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe, Radeon 9800 Pro

I need help to overclock my RAM

RAM- 1x 16gb Kingston fury beast 5200mhz CL40 (samsung die)

CPU- R7 9800X3D

MSI- B850 GAMING WIFI6e MOTHERBOARD

I watched some tutorials but didnt find anything for this ram speed, any help or suggestion is highly appreciatted.

Reason for OC is to improve my 1% lows, as I feel stuttering even thought I see high FPS.

I'm currently trying to overclock my PNY RTX 5070 Ti OC, and the maximum I can overclock the core speed is to +225 without crashing. It consistently crashes at 250 and beyond. This means that the highest clock speeds I see stable are the high 3100s.

I've boosted my power to 110% (that is the max), and my memory clock speeds go up to +3000 just fine. (btw it says 0 in the pic, but im actually using 3000)

Not sure how relevant this is, but the maximum wattage I saw the gpu pull was 299 W.

I'm testing all of this on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and I'm getting between a 6-9% increase in FPS. Let me know what you think.

Can't set VDD for DRAM above 1.43V - setting even 1.435V results in a full system shutdown without even a try to train memory.

I know there have been issue's on AM5 boards just like this one but its supposed to be fixed - still cant do anything about it with newest F12b bios and older ones. There's no high voltage mode or something like that in bios setting I can find.

I asked both Patriot and Gigabyte for help - Patriot confirmed the momory kit has unlocked PMIC as listed in specifications. Gigabyte replied that any overclock isn't guaranteed and thats it.

Kit from patriot, Viper venom elite 5 rgb - pver532G60C30KW

Im satisfied with what I achieved so far but its a feature that would be nice to have for future upgrades or go tighter timings.

Maybe someone here uses this board and can confirm its been working for them - pls send help :)

Does anyone now if this chips can go higher in frequency? I have them for years and never really OC'ed, just used in the XMP profile that is 3200Mhz CL16, but I discovery that the timings can be tied way down.

Hello i want to upgrade my bios since it's on an older version i heard that f33 or f34 is the best for performance since the latest versions is focusing on security with lower performance or ram stability

Also i want to tune my ram 32gb (4 × 8gb) 6000mhz cl40

I bought this one used expecting hynix A-die but saldly it was just Kingston Manufactured dies(?). Anyways, been able to boot into windows while running it at 6400 mhz. Tested with y-cruncher and everyhting seems fine. Was wondering if it has any potential to reduce latency to maybe 40? Where could I find tutorials/resources to adjust voltages and latency for beginners?

I'm not sure if it's common knowledge because I haven't been to find anyone talking about this particular ycruncher test but BKT seems to be good at detecting instability with your CPU whether all cores have the same or different offest. Either the PC freezes or ycruncher crashes. It was how I figured out that my CPU (9800X3D with +200 override) was unstable at -30 on all cores but could handle -28 despite AIDA, OCCT, and Prime95 all passing on -30. It also helped with my per core profile as well. Of course since it was on an all core load, I didn't know which core crashed but since I was looking to maintain voltage harmonization, I had to decrease the offset on all cores anyway. I haven't tested it on a per core basis though through CoreCycler but if it didn't work on all core, then the CO profile was not stable so it wasn't worth trying.

I'm not sure if this will work for everyone but I at least wanted to share what worked for me.

Я уже пробовал выключить оптимизацию через режим разработчика но потом включил обратно потомучто побоялся что с телефоном что-то произойдет и после выключения ещё телефон начинает жостко тормозить подскажите пожалуйста как сделать так чтобы было 120 ФПС

400 points away from best without bclk or eclk support on mobo😮‍💨

Any expert advice on how to close this gap would be greatly appreciated however I've done so many tweaks and tune combinations that it would be very difficult to find a solution.

I think I just need to blast more cooling atp lol.

One of the plastic packets arrived damaged/open and spread this white powder all over the package.
The liquid metal syringe appears to be intact and still sealed, with no visible leaks or damage.
Does anyone know what this powder could be? Is it from the cleaning wipe packet, or should I be concerned about contamination before using the liquid metal?

Just changed thermal paste and pads on a Gainward Phantom RTX 4090. 3.5 years old. Been undervolted since day one: 2640MHz @ 0.94V. + 1500 MHz on memory. Custom fan curve, low rpm 35%-45%.

List:
- PTM7950 from AliExpress, 0.2mm thick, here is the store.
- Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad High Compression, 2 mm.
- Arctic TP-3, 1.5 mm.

Background:
Never had an issue with temperatures. Just wanted to do a "cleanse" after 3.5 years.

Before PTM and new thermal paste:
100% GPU usage with DLSS: 65-67 degrees on GPU, 86 degrees on hotspot, 64 on memory.

After a few hours of gaming and several cycles:
100% GPU usage with DLSS: 62-64 degrees on GPU, 72-76 degrees on hotspot, delta + 11-12.

Thoughts after day one:
This is just after a few hours. I think it will be better with a few more cycles of cool down and burn in. The biggest difference is that the temp drops instantly 15-20 degrees after quitting a game. It can go from 62 to 42 in two seconds. Another big difference is the hotspot, with a delta of 11, used to be closer to 20 before repaste.
