6464 MT/s It almost passed using the same voltages It failed again at 1.405v but has so far passed once at 1.41v (DRAM voltage). It did however fail the next time. 1.41v: failed first test 1.415v: passed the first test (ended early) failed the next test (4 hardware incidents). I ended up...

6400 MT/s finally stable? I did run it twice. For reason unclear to me the speed ended up lower this time. stressapptest -s 7200 -M 32768 -m 32 -W stressapptest -s 7200 -M 60000 -m 32 -W stressapptest -s 7200 -M 32768 -m 32 -W I switched back to the default "sub timings configuration" and it...

That's why Ukraine had no choice but to fight, occupation is far worse than fighting the war now when they have a strong military. Of course the whole thing is a bit pointless but things like that happens sometimes, not all leaders are rational actors who look out for the interest of their...

Not even my 6400 memory overclock was fully stable The issue was that prime95 large FFT simply wasn't good enough at spotting memory stability issues, this resulted in an unstable 6600 overclock appearing to be stable at first. Currently under linux i am doing the following test which my older...

BIOS overview This doesn't cover all bios settings. I show how to disable secure boot among other things. From what i have read you may need to change the "CEP" setting to make your make your undervolting take affect. I will look into that more after tweaking my ram timings...

Example of pointless DDR5 overclock Sure you can boot to windows but what's the point if it's unstable. Not worth it just to get some screenshot to share (you could just use pinta for that). A lot of bad things can happen due to overclock being unstable. You do not want to risk getting...

Trying to reach 6600 While reaching 6400 MT/s was very easy trying to reach 6600 has been very difficult. I have at least gotten close to the point where i need to test again with a less aggressive voltage curve Running "stressapptest -s 2009 -M 256 -m 8 -W" via linux i got: Report Error...

CPU overclocking is confusing but you do get a lot of options Intel has settled for a needlessly complicated turbo boost system for the 13900K and 13900KF. I wanted to disable "Termal Velocity Boost" to and just have it just be power-limited instead but i don't actually know if TVB is actually...

Is the dual 8-pin actually useful? I wasn't sure if my current corsair TX650 would be enough for a 3090 at 375W PL and a 13900KF. I was thinking that if i switch to a better PSU and cooler (such as custom loop) it would be very useful to to have two 8-pin ports so i could take the full...

Not respecting the intel power-limit Intel officially has a 243W power-limit for the 13900K and 13900KF but msi ignores that completely. At first after updating the bios the power-limit will be 4096W "unlimited" but after updating the bios i actually got to select between 3 options all of which...

Terrible fan-control It was much easier to adjust the fan-curve on my old gigabyte board. Now you need to manually change each point on the curve for each individual fan on the graph. You cannot just apply the same graph to multiple fans at once and i didn't find any way to adjust the graph...

DDR5 overclocking All i had to do to reach 6400 MT/s was to change the memory ratio from 60 to 64, i did not have to actively raise any voltages or lower any timings. Unfortunately no attempt at getting 6600 to be stable was successful. I do not know if the board is to blame for that though...

I decided to get this motherboard due to the fact that i just couldn't find any particularly great alternative to it that was available. I had bad experiences with my previous gigabyte AM4 board so i didn't feel like waiting for them to release a better alternative (which may have been a...

Modern conservatism = feminism The only real exception is with regard to abortion but that is largely for religious reasons rather than actually raising the fertility rates (which they will fail to do due to embrace of feminism is general). Just look at how many female politicians conservatives...

You don't want active cooling since that is noisy and can break.

4080 benchmarks Some benchmarks have already leaked. As expected the 4090 will be a much better card for gaming, worth the extra 400$ https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4080-overclocking-and-4k-gaming-benchmarks-leaked

DDR5 speed is very important You really do not want to cheap out getting cheap DDR5 or any DDR4 to raptor lake. This is also why we need HEDT, doubling the memory bandwidth by going to quad channel DDR5 would provide a massive performance uplift.

Meteor lake might not be worth waiting for The number of p-cores will be reduced to just 6 and they will use a separate die for the io-section, both of these design decision will result in worse performance...

Why HEDT raptor lake might become the superior gaming option The HEDT raptor lake CPUs will have significant benefits over their LGA1700 counterparts even for things like gaming 0. You get more p-cores 1. Much better memory bandwidth (at least double the number of channels) 2. More total cache...

Why sapphire rapids might crush AMD AMD is currently charging obscene margins on their threadripper pro lineup. They also broke their promise they made when it comes to supporting X399 indicating that we really shouldn't trust them when it comes to future platform support. Looks like we are...
