Right, I am not suggesting you raise voltages manually if using PBO. I was suggesting having a higher limit could enable higher boosts. I am by no means suggesting statically running voltages that high, you absolutely couldn't with that cooler.
-
I am just talking about boosts where it hits higher voltages for micro seconds/nano seconds/whatever. It probably doesn't matter, just something I thought of.
-
What agesa are you running? Wondering if you are topping out at 1.42, 1.43v on boosts due to that EDC bug (or some would say intentional limit) with newer agesa. I think you are stuck at 90A for EDC on a 5600X.
-
Thanks E! Confirmed this is working for me again.
-
Yeah no idea. My other settings don't crash on idle. I also had CO on auto so it shouldn't have been too aggressive there (which is what causes idle crashing). I just went back to my other which still boosts to 5.15GHz, but without the idle crashing.
-
Yep still broken for me too. Strange.
-
Confirmed @bonami2 saw the same issue. Seems there is an issue attaching files/images to posts right now. Not sure if temporary or something that needs to be looked at? Since I cannot upload a screenshot, this is the error popup: Sorry, an unknown server error occured when uploading this file. (Error code: image.jpeg could not be saved.)

Tried that fmax enhancer for ASUS boards and likewise was getting single-threaded boosts to 5.15GHz on my best cores (in my case, cores 2 and 3). However on multi-threaded workloads the second CCD was clocking lower than it does with PBO in AMD Overclocking (instead of Extreme Tweaker menu) which I found odd. EDIT: Nevermind, guess I didn't run stuff long enough. That said, CB R23 multi and single was scoring lower than my PBO/CO optimizations, so take that however you want. Keep in mind I am on a custom water loop. Was boosting to those clocks on 1.469v. EDIT 2: And it crashed when I was idling. I always have bad experiences using PBO in the ASUS extreme tweaker vs the AMD Overclocking in the Advanced tab.
-
Yep, definitely the easiest way to go.
-
Sounds like it just does CO for you as optimizing the curve per core will also easily net you to 5150MHz. Just speculating though, I haven't looked at this feature. I usually opt for the AMD Overclocking tab, not the AI Tweaker.
-
So taking a look, I'd probably opt for something platinum rated like a Superflower Leadex 1200W.
-
Yeah I'd shoot for 1200 or even a 1600W, especially if you wanted to run something like a 666W BIOS. In terms of what to get, not sure, haven't done any research on such PSUs.
-
Wait, and you were using the 666W Galax BIOS? That's not a quality of PSU problem, that's literally shoving way more power through a daisy chained cable designed for like 300W. Definitely lucky you did not burn the house down.
-
Well glad to hear the 4090 didn't die. Just curious since you said daisy chaining. Did you have separate 8-pin (3 or 4?) coming from the PSU and plugging into the adapter to the 16-pin 12VHPWR? Or were you using one of those daisy chained cables that go from PSU to two 8-pins?

Two packs of these and 4 chrome fittings came in today.

You do get a nice IPC bump and clock bump going to a 5700X. If it's not outside your budget, honestly that'd be my choice over just buying another Zen 2 part. 5800X should be around $200 now, but you should be able to find a 5700X for around $180ish. Sell the 3600 and I think you've done decent for $120.
-
Ah ok, that does look a bit different than mine, but ultimately the same thing. Yeah that will just add to the potential upper limit that your maximum boost clocks can reach. 5600X can boost to 4.6GHz stock, so a +200 override should allow for theoretically boosting up to 4.8GHz for bursty single threaded stuff. Curve Optimizer comes in and by undervolting gives you additional headroom to potentially boost even higher is really the best way to explain it. Stock PBO with +200, max I get on the boost with 5900X is 4.95GHz. Add in CO on auto and I can get up to 5.05GHz. Optimize CO manually and I've gotten it up to 5.15GHz boosts.

techspot Modder puts 16GBs Vram on a 3070

I don't know. I wouldn't call 2GB a "big" difference. But it is a difference. -

Sir Beregond replied to UltraMega's topic in Hardware News
I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure you still need VRAM with DLSS. While I am sure it does reduce its usage a bit by nature of rendering a lower texture resolution, I have not heard of DLSS necessarily being a big VRAM saver. Maybe a question for @J7SC_Orion. I can tell you I definitely still ran out of VRAM on my 12GB card on Witcher 3 with DLSS. I really had to crank down some settings and push DLSS to balanced to make it work without getting slideshow mode a little while into the playthrough. -
Positive, as in a positive Curve Optimizer? Your BIOS maybe looks different then mine. I am not following the ask in terms of Auto + positive.

techspot Modder puts 16GBs Vram on a 3070
Sir Beregond replied to UltraMega's topic in Hardware News
Yeah keep in kind though the way a console handles direct access to storage and how a PC does it while running Windows is different. You are definitely going to need more VRAM on a Windows machine than you will on a console. I could see a 40-series refresh. Unless TSMC has sorted out 3nm yields yet, then 50-series is a way off. -

8GB just never made sense. Hell neither did 10 for the original 3080. The fact is we had 8GB cards in 2015 from AMD and 2016 from Nvidia. Why are we still on 8GB as a standard? Moreover, VRAM used to double ever generation at every segment. Tesla to Fermi doubled. Fermi to Kepler doubled. Kepler to Maxwell doubled. And Maxwell to Pascal doubled. Then it stopped and the only thing that doubled was the 3090 which finally doubled from the 1080 Ti which was artificially cut down to 11GB (same as the 2080 Ti) just to differentiate it from the Titans. 3 gens of practically the same RAM in all mainstream SKUs. -
Probably depends on what you want to use it for. If it's for gaming, see if your motherboard has a BIOS that supports dropping in a 5800X3D. Otherwise if you have productivity use cases can look at a 5700X or 5800X too as those will boost higher. Any of these would be a great upgrade to the 3600 if your motherboard supports them. Preliminary research looks like they added Ryzen 5000 support with this BIOS from 2021.
-
This 100%. Curve Optimizer definitely make idle/light load the most prone to stability issues if too aggressive. Actually what makes it one of the harder things to stability test.
-
I submitted a claim. Might as well see what I get out of it. Unless you opt-out of the settlement, you are part of it and either get money or not.
