I certainly wouldn't think so. I was under the impression the 4 pin was just there to supplement power delivery for people that bench at 250W+, but stranger things have happened.

You platform jumping traitor! You just want in on the sweet Alder Lake clockery. Who will Beregond and I pester now? . In truth though, it is gratifying to see what you guys can do, and gives us rookies something to aspire too (or waste money chasing lol).

@Storm-Chaserthanks for all the work you are putting in. It is greatly appreciated .

Get down!

Yes, for some reason my wife refuses to wear earplugs 24/7 . Sheesh, it's not like I asked for A-t-M and to install a 2.5kW chiller under the house...

This is the thing that keeps drawing me towards the Aquacomputer gear. Lots of customization and control without resource overhead inside of the operating system. I confess, I only recently "got it" regarding Aquacomputer's offerings.

Asus 02 can mean that you are sitting in the BIOS with the message instructing you to hit F1 to perform setup only you can't see it. I have run into it before, and strangely what "fixed" it for me was unplugging the monitor's power cord, and then plugging it back in. Could be HDMI or DP cable as well. I know it can mean a host of other things as well. This is the only circumstance I have encountered it in though.

The grapevine says that Time Spy gets confused by CPU's with >=16 physical cores. Temporarily disabling SMT/HT did net me another 1000 points in the CPU portion of the test. @Sir Beregond the "trick" is not supposed to work on a 5900X, but d@#n if I wouldn't check just to be sure.

Mild instability/corruption. Add 10mV and watch your temperatures .

Newb question: Do you folks have to "re-learn" how to overclock RAM every time we change DDR generation? I ask because, to me, tuning RAM seems more nuanced than anything thing else I've encountered in my "adventure". So many little "rules of thumb" to commit to memory (the kind in our skulls, not rigs). I presume there is much that carries over from one DDR generation to another, but I would guess there is a lot that does not. Combining platform changes with DDR generation changes results in RAM tuning residing in the area of my "OC MAP" labeled "Here be Dragons".

Yeah, I retract my earlier guesses. If you can wipe/rub it off, then it's almost certainly a biofilm of some kind. I had originally thought that the inner wall of the tubing might have had just enough porosity to let copper oxides lodge there, but if that were the case it certainly wouldn't come off easily (it would be similar to anodizing metals for a custom color). Hey, at least that biofilm was helping decrease your carbon footprint without clogging your blocks .

Instead of continuing to study the ins and outs of MPT as I should, I got side-tracked this evening and played around with a BIOS profile for Time Spy (to increase CPU score). My efforts bore some fruit. I will try these settings again tomorrow in the hopefully chilly pre-dawn . Edit: I did get a run in early this morning. Scores were slightly higher, but I believe within margin of error. Based on what I've read elsewhere, there may be temperature dependent thresholds for things like Vdroop on this GPU. As long as I can stay below those thresholds there is limited scaling with decreasing temperature (still guessing 70⁰C hotspot is one such threshold).

Glad you had success with the res tube!

I know I should be more proactive, but I keep thinking that the longer I wait before jumping off what appears to be the sinking SS MW, the better the accommodations will be when I board the SS Linux.

I left the window open in my laboratory last night in the hopes of some lower ambient temperatures. Despite what some supposed "experts" have said elsewhere, J7 was correct in his assertions (the bowels of a thread over at OCN) that Radeon 6000 does scale with temperature to a measurable amount. Also, I have the impression that marginal stability on the core OC cannot support as much memory OC as a slightly slower clocked core. This run was completed at 2700-2800 core, factory PL +15% from Adrenaline, 1.2v core, fast memory timings, 2150MHz memory clock slider. I have completed a couple runs at 2725-2825, but it was touch and go with about a 35% success rate and lower scores. Moving the memory slider above 2000MHz at those core clocks was almost certain to generate a crash. I plan to read the remainder of [Official] AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Owner's Club | Page 324 | Overclock.net (I'm on page 115 currently) before proceeding to play with MPT. Edit: Studying the readings in HWiNFO64, I suspect there is a significant performance increase when we keep that "hotspot" temp below 70⁰C (somewhat independent of the delta to "GPU temp"). If I am correct, keeping my hotspot below 70⁰C with an ambient around 20⁰C while using MPT will not be possible without a remount/LM.

Spent quite a bit of time in Time Spy this evening. This was as far as I could go without "More Power Tool".

I wouldn't suggest it, or other "paint" polishes. No joke, plain old toothpaste, a gentle "cloth/brush, and time will polish her right up without scratching. Any automotive parts chain store will likely have "headlight polishing kits" though.

Anything gentle enough to clean/polish automotive headlights. Toothpaste is the "redneck" polishing compound of choice. I'd certainly try just hot soapy water first though. Microfiber to prevent scratches I suppose . Edit: I'm still mulling over that tubing. My guess is oxidized copper or brass from inside the radiators if nowhere else, but that is totally a guess based on the color.

The color makes me wonder if its oxidized copper or brass or both . Think "patina" on the Statue of Liberty.

You heard from his own lips. She don't fold. She's just his patsy...

You can't just give it to people straight, you must cloud the issue with techno-enginerd babble! These are the rules!

Is coding the API and/or the other software to interact with said API too much trouble for a gaming oriented something like the SSG to ever be "worth it"?

Stop stop stop. You are going to make my AMD built epeen fall off.

ah, an "equal opportunity" curmudgeon
