    3600Cl14 is nice ! Just in case, you can try the timings below which work on both my native 3866 and 4000 kits, noting that a.) I'm using 4x8 GB B-die and b.) you might want to relax tRFC/2 a bit compared to below to begin with, and then tighten those w/ intermittent testing.
  2. J7SC_Orion
    What 'native' CL rating is your Samsung B-die 3600 kit - CL16 ? CL14 ? Anyway, you might try 1.5v (ok for B-die if there's enough airflow) and 3800 with 14-14-14, or 14-15-14.

    ...figure low volume orders won't get access to (over-?) booked TSMC 7nm, 5nm nodes. Also, w/ 400,000 cores per 'chip', they can probably afford to clock the frequency in a leisurely manner.

    ...can not only play Crysis, but compile the code forwards and backwards

    ...go big or go home ?

    780 Ti Classified...

    ...I'm a pack-rat, fortunately (most of the time)

    Thanks. More performance for less CPU package power is nice as it lowers temps and leaves more headroom. Sooner or later, I'll bump the CCX speeds to their known max for another few runs in DynOC, but the current DynOC combo is great as it still has the CPU and L3 show over 5 GHz effective when gaming / using apps that mostly stress one or two cores. All the while, mild negative CPUv offset and lowish base voltage keeps things nice and cool.

    ...still finding some extra speed w/ the 5950X, w/ a little more clock headroom when I can get lower ambient
  10. J7SC_Orion
    Quick FYI...as pointed out above, make sure that the Aida bench version meets these requirements (some of the above shots don't)
  11. J7SC_Orion
    ...loaded my old fav ( ~ 2014) NFS Most Wanted onto Raven_A. 4096x 2160 is buttery smooth w/ all the eye candy on with the latest GPUs...while this version has upgraded graphics and content, it's visual fidelity is nowhere near close to modern car games - but it is still an absolute hoot to go wild with
  12. J7SC_Orion
    ...so just before consumers make a decision re. RDNA3 / next NVidia gen (AdaL) with leaks already likely out by then ? That's one way for Intel to shoot itself in the foot in the GPU space...
  13. J7SC_Orion
    ...s.th. for my Christmas wish list. Also, 80 billion transistors is more than twice that of full-fat Ampere...I should invest in power-gen utilities ! HBM3 is glorious.
  14. J7SC_Orion
    ...a nice long gaming session to stress some new CPU and 4K GPU tuning...
  15. J7SC_Orion
    ...judging by the offerings of major retailers over the last two months or so, there was plenty of top-end RDNA 6x00XT stock available, presumably also because good yields at TSMC...all vendors have to do to get to the 6x50XT versions is change microcode / bios for more PL and VRAM speed and voila, a '''new''' model for more dollar$
  16. J7SC_Orion
    ...and so they $hould be. Still, this 'refresh' is like the recent 3090 Ti release - IMO, just a money grab before the real action starts w/ RDNA3 and RTX4k later this year.
  17. J7SC_Orion
    ...just a quick addendum re. Dremel tube cutting...use a small piece of rubber (~ 2 - 3 mm) around the tubing and in s.th. like a vice grip (w/o too much pressure to avoid cracking or even deformation - just enough to hold it firmly in place). Also, once cut, you can use the 'sides' of the Dremel wheel to both straighten and smooth the cuts out, though the final prep should use some fine sandpaper. Also, after cutting, flush the whole tube with distilled / deionized water.
  18. J7SC_Orion
    FYI, for the Raven_B project that uses copper tubing, I initially used this table saw, per below - it certainly makes clean cuts with the guide and cuts all the way through. However, I started using the Dremel for metal and plastics instead...as long as you can clamp the tubing (keep it from moving) and don't drink too much coffee beforehand, you should be able to make clean cuts !
  19. J7SC_Orion
    ...I actually use the Dremel 'brand' but it looks otherwise very similar...the key is to get a combo of cutting wheels with it, ie. different ones for plastics/acrylic, for wood and for metals. That said, I've used the metal ones for acrylic just fine.
  20. J7SC_Orion
    FYI, I bought multiple 'fast' DDR4 kits here in Canada at Memoryexpress, including 4x8 4000/CL15 Sammy-B-die last year. These days, that single-rank type is hard to find, but there are multiple 2x 8 and 2x 16 kits for 4000 CL/16 at Memoryexpress available.
  21. J7SC_Orion
    I've had great success cutting various types of PC w-cooling tubing with my little Dremel tool (not the big one reserved for home improvements).
  22. J7SC_Orion
    I just ran the non-optimized / quick-and-dirty TimeSpy with my 6900XT (and older 3950X CPU) after a request at a different thread. My 6900XT had some MPT tool 'enhancements' yesterday...6950XT have 10% or so more PL (MPT can do that) but mostly are the same, other than the increased VRAM speed past 2150 MHz which I'm jelly off as that is the only hurdle I can't cross no matter what tools I use...
  23. J7SC_Orion
    I'm not sure if the shelf life period refers to an opened tub (they seem vacuum-sealed), but it may be that the oils in the putty start either migrating or getting absorbed. Then again, this mostly refers to initial pliability, once applied, it will last much longer. In any case, I put the remaining 50g and the new 30g into a freezer bag and store it in the fridge (w/ warning label), rather than freezer. I have thermal TG-PP 10 thermal putty stored this way over a year old and it is still perfect, per recent use.

    ...Linus has a related vid:

    ...just had 3x TG-PP-10 30 g delivered 'for a rainy day' (30 g was all that was left at DigiKey Canada)
