ENTERPRISE

Yeah that is not ok at all. Devs should. A. Be paid to date for work B. Should have been made aware that all dev works should cease. That should have happened latest 24 hours after it was decided the service would be canned.

Source Not at all surprised. However they are doing the right thing by refunding users.

Nice!

Not bad at all.

I still have to do my DDR4 SuperPi bench! Will have to try and get that done this week!

Well, Delved into this again. I ended up getting confused when I had set the CPU core ratio 47x, why when running OCCT it was running at 41x. I of course then realised its because I had set AVX-512 workloads to 41x. Simple, yet threw me. So im changing my approach. Will find my max stable CPU Core OC. Then will find my maximum AVX-512 offset (currently at -7). Then should be OK. Does the AVX-512 have its own voltage setting or just ratio offset ? I looked at my Min/Max cache ratio. Looks like others on the web are using 32x when at 4.7Ghz Core. Just wondering, do I have to tweak the cache ratio or can I just leave it to Auto ?

Awesome thanks for testing!

We believe this is resolved, could you try again?

Likely due to the fact you are entering in those commands, by default the firewall obvious disapproves of them just in case they are an attack vector. I will see about allowing those and then you will be able to make your edit.

Thanks for the info. Will delve back into it and see where I get with it. OCCT is not the only tool I would use for stability testing for sure. It was the first one im using, I wanted to get stable in that and then test in cinebench etc for additional validation. This system will be used for Folding and Solidworks related work.

Update. 4.7Ghz looks to be the best I can get due to temps. 1.29ish Vcore looks stable but still getting errors here and there in OCCT but not crashes. I looked at setting the cache Ratio to 44 Min and 46 Max but system would not post, so I will have to test some different value. I am now on an offset of -4 on AVX/AVX 512 as it required additional over the odds to be stable, so backed it off a little. Looking to avoid backing it off any more while not increasing Vcore, any other suggestions or is it a case I have to possibly back down on the AVX by -5 and go with that ? Do I need to bother with "Uncore" ?

The mid range card prices are poor. Not surprised however as this is Nvidia and like it or not, their technology both hardware and software still outdoes what AMD has to offer. It sucks for the consumers. Having a two models with the 4080 naming convention is just offensive. Who in their right mind thinks that is sensible? While no doubt the 4090/Ti will be a power house, its still a good chunk of cash to lay down. Even though the upgrade bug is biting, realistically their is no point in upgrading if you have a 3090/Ti. Other than professional uses, you will not see a real world benefit in gaming, besides the DLSS 3 tech. That is also assuming they don't later release it for the 30 Series.

Yeah I will see about popping some fans over the VRM's for sure!

Good shout on the CPU VRM and DRAM switching frequency. Yeah, I think 5Ghz all core is for the cream of the crop chips. As I say, I was trying my luck with a dirty OC lol. Im thinking 4.8Ghz is more realistic.

I knew it ! I Thought that System Agent might be it but I questioned it as they used the standard naming convention elsewhere, so dangerously assumed they would stick to one convention lol. Thanks for the insight, as it happens im leaving the RAM frequency alone for now until I get the CPU in a good place. Then I will start working on the RAM speeds and timings. I will adjust my SA and change my AVX offset to something less extreme. As you say, I put it back to stock speeds as I wondered if it was the AVX OC causing me issues, however it looks as if it is a lack of Voltage on the System Agent. Yeah. I figure at 1.3v things will start to heat up. Easily will hit mid 90's especially as im just using an AIO rather than WC.

Hey guys, So I tried my luck today with some Overclocking. I did not spend a huge amount of time on it and everything is fairly preliminary. I was trying to shoot for the 5Ghz range straight away (Trying my luck!), which may not be possible due to the silicon lottery. I was unable to keep 5Ghz Stable at 1.3 Vcore when testing via OCCT and it may be a case I have to back off. I also dropped the AVX and AV-512 to their stock ratios as I wanted to make sure they were not getting in my way. I have no idea what is even a sensible ratio for these but I will get there later. However before I start my next attempt. These are the settings I currently have plugged into the BIOS. Does anything stand out ? I also noted that while I could locate the VCCIO voltage, I could not locate the VCCSA voltages ? Anyone have any idea where that is hiding ? Motherboard is an Asus X299 Sage. On my next attempt I will back it off to 4.8Ghz and see if I can get that stable and go up from there.

Phew, really sounds like you are punishing the power there! Glad the gear is ok thought bud. I would send some Tesla's your way but need to sell them to get some new GPU's for the CFP, sorry about that. If you know of anyone in the market, let them know

I think EVGA are living in a pipedream if they believe they can survive solely on the products they have outside of the GPU space. Further to this, not letting anyone go. Sure they can likely sustain that for a short while, but no way indefinitely. They are 100% hoping people will simply move on, meanwhile EVGA gets to save face. I understand Nvidia are a PITA to work with, fine. However why not work with AMD or Intel? To say no to the entire GPU market is cutting your own throat in my mind.

Well put it this way. If I were to get more A2000's, they are like £300+ each. Anything around £200-250 is OK. I just know when mixing GPU's, I will likely have more luck having a single Nvidia card driving the system and a bunch if AMD ones for compute. Less likely to have driver issues ironically. If I had to stick with all Nvidia, they would all need to be the same card, others drivers make me cry. Thanks for the suggestion of the RX 5600.

Well it looks like the 6x Tesla M40 cards I was going to use in this machine will not work out as they simply refuse to play with the RTX A2000 as a controller card, which I did fear. This combined with the Tesla's are a little loud with the current setup, having them in a tiny office with a colleague would not be very fair on their ears lol. So I am going to sell the Tesla card with a view to getting more A2000 cards. They are close in PPD to the Tesla cards, so I am good with that. However, does any one have any suggestions so far as some decent AMD cards that would run at least 1M PPD ? I figure I may be able to get the AMD cards running alongside the Nvidia A2000 Sale for the Tesla M40's live:

I need to catch up with this whole EVGA thing .. but I know its not good.

Thanks man, I get that you cannot really comment on something you haven't played with. I will see who else is able to chime in

Release bump.

Hey all, So I have been with AMD for a good while now, to the point when I look at the Intel Overclocking, I am almost a little lost. Intel have always had what I deem lots of tuneable aspects vs AMD, it can lead you wondering where to start. OK so the long show of it is I am looking to OC the CPU and RAM in the below RIG. Yes that is right, it is the CFP 2.0 rig. I have spent sometime re-working it recently so that I can use it for work and have it fold for the team. Granted the CPU & RAM OC will do little for F@H, however I want to get the best out of it for the more "Work" reasons. The rig components are as below: I ran Thaiphoon Burner and got the below results on the RAM. Not sure how far I can take the RAM, with having 8x modules, the headroom will be limited by that, but I would imagine I can get more than the XMP rated speeds out of it. I am going to start having a play around. However if anyone has some good advice as a starting point for some decent settings to "Plug in" regarding the CPU and RAM, that would also be really helpful. It is worth noting the CPU is cooled by an EK BASIC 360mm AIO on a push/pull configuration, I am not sure how far I can take the 10900X. All comments and wisdom welcome Thanks, E
