  1. Per-core CO can be quite a chore / not unlike overclocking RAM. I trust you are using SMUdebug for per-core CO, or even per-CCD or all-core?
  2. ...had a bit of time today for some benching w/ eclk 105, no per-core CO yet, just Aorus 90L6 PBO enhancement (an all-core CO or sorts). Glad that this all ran fine with no extra voltage boost via per-core CO at a 5% overclock
  3. ...some of his stuff is quite good, including MPT tools (AMD Navi21 etc) and more. However, this was/is a royal f___-up. The fact that Igor trusted another YouTuber's testing without doing his own (at least) spot-checks and then publish it under his name is a trust-buster and reputation killer. What is really disturbing and should have been a giant red flag is that Alphacool's own published specs were nowhere near what alter-Igor came to conclude; Alphacool's own specs are within what serios testers are finding within the same test conditions. There are other 'false' claims which were made when this fan was first tested (not sure if that was on 'Igor's' piece as well or someplace else), specifically the outer ring which connects each blade - my 11-year-old GentleTyphoon have that
  4. Yes, that's the board (X670E Master). I think there is an updated version that doesn't use the Intel NIC as some folks seem to have problems with it (mine works just fine with the Intel NIC). FYI, I have tested bios with Agesa from 1.0.0.7c to 1.1.0.0. The F13c (1.0.0.7c) bios for that board is my favourite. Note that this is a 4-dimm board (one of the best, IMO). I think @kaliz can also tell you more about some nice ASRock boards as well re. good RAM oc etc
  5. ...more technical wizardry for audio video fans, best enjoyed on OLED and a (very) good sound setup...
  6. ...nope; I stopped doing HWBot / elite (sub-zero) years back, but 'technically', I am still a member of another smaller team
  7. @Bastiaan_NL ...a bit of Benchmate fun for old times' sake (HWBot subzero) Normal game settings, ambient temp was 26 C, no special prep - I really like this 7950X3D and the 670E Aorus Master
  8. ...three things come to mind right away: 1.) What happens when you take that TR CPU with the 'triggered' fuse and place it into a new, different mobo. Will it still show 'triggered' 2.) Lenovo and Co played that game already with TR 5K series CPUs. 3.) Many folks have been happily using AMD's Ryzen 'Master Utility for Overclocking Control' for their private Ryzen OCs (similar in the mobo bios); of course AMD will know whether you oc'ed or not, for example regarding warranty claims.
  9. ...does it know about its upcoming fate, icy North winds and desert-hot memory / controllers coming its way ?
  10. ...not a RAM magician, but I select my components carefully after doing this for decades for work and play - I wanted an 8-layer PCB (or better) 670E mobo with 'eclk' and great VRM cooling, and the 670E Aorus Master offered all of that, was available locally and had the least outrageous price. I still have far more Intel systems than AMD and look forward to see the best of each as the market evolves. ...started to check out different bios and Agesa (1.0.0.7c to 1.1.0.0). Before I switched, I gave the 1.0.0.7c / F13 a 'full steam ahead' to set a mark the new bios and Agesa have to meet and/or surpass
  11. ...as posted before, there is a certain irony that on four gens of Ryzen 16-core CPUs, I only ever used Intel-XMP sticks (dual and quad channel) w/o any problems on higher end AMD boards.
  12. Yeah, OCCT's Linpack. I use 'physical only' setting and 29736 MB (out of 48 GB total). FYI, lowering CO values by about 4 from Hydra's CB 23 tested recommendations was the safe bet on my setup for even the hardest / most stressing tests.
  13. On a few cores, up to -44. CCD 0 on my 7950X3D has more CO headroom than CCD 1. Use the SMU software highlighted by @kaliz for in-Windows CO testing against CB23, Linpack and co
  14. Greetings fellow bios luddite ! I downloaded the 1.1.0.0 bios for my 670E Aorus Master the day it came out, but I am still on F13C and my 5950 / ROG Dark Hero is still on 3801
  15. Congrats ! Smok'n Below are my best daily settings on 7950X3D / X670E Aorus Master, plus 'temporary excursions' up to 8200
  16. In addition to HWInfo, Zen Timings shows what looks like real-time and fairly accurate SOC_V, keeping in mind that SOC also has its own LLC in bios (VRM Options). Gigabyte bios should allow for up to 1.3 V set SOC_V but I keep mine at ~ 1.25 V max, and medium LLCs.
  17. ...I still have more Intel systems than the four AMD and sometimes, both vendors' products can frustrate, usually down to a voltage and/or USB issue. In my overall experience, AMD is quite good - for my AMD Ryzen CPUs, I use mobos from MSI, Asus ROG and Gigabyte/Aorus. My current 'gamer' is the Aorus X670E Master (8 layer PCB) w/7950X3D and a GSkill 2x 24GB 7200 Intel XMP kit which I have tried out in five different permutations per below (always the same SOC_V and VDD)...CL 28 / 6000 to CL 36 / 8100. Only a few of these are truly optimized (ie. 8000) but the sheer number of combinations I put through basic stability test speaks for this AMD platform. I am also thrilled with the efficiency of AM4 and especially AM5...close to 39K in CineR23 at < 160W ! Intel's Raptor Lake top end uses almost twice the peak Watts with a score in the same ballpark. I look forward to some truly new and innovative and efficient products when they arrive from Intel post LGA1700; for now though I am happy (and problem-free) with AMD...
