A few pics of my system off with the EK cooler. And some of the front of my case. Took these while doing the monthly cleaning.

So, my wonderful wife installed my new EK Nucleus AIO CR360 Dark for me this morning. Since I just had hip surgery and have back pain too, doing this on my own wasn't possible. Previously I had the Corsair H150i RGB Pro XT. With like four cables coming off the block ruining the clean look of my rig. The performance was pretty poor, too. Some preliminary test numbers, on my 7900X3D: Windows Idle temp with Corsair: 45-50c Windows Idle temp with EK Nucleus: 32-35c CPU-Z bench multicore Corsair: 78-80c CPU-Z bench multicore EK Nucleus: 62c More testing needs to be done, but running folding@home on Linux on my 4090, the waste heat would heat my CPU up and to 69-72c with the Corsair. With the EK Nucleus, the highest I've seen is 62c. It looks better and cools way better. I'm glad I read the review here about the unit. I used to use an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 before and would have continued using it in my build, except its around 38mm thick without fans and did not clear the VRM heatsinks on my new board, the Asus ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming Wifi. That cooler worked better but it seems the EK Nucleus (which has a 27mm thickness, and fit fine) is at least as good as the Arctic cooler, if not better. I'm thrilled.

No idea. I may have to look into it further.

So I upgraded from a Samsung 970 Evo Gen3 M.2 drive to a Crucial T700 Gen 5 M.2 drive. Unfortunately, my Linux dd backup had errors while imaging the 970 Evo, and though it made an img, when I loaded it onto the new drive and looked at gparted all the ext4 partitions were showing as "unknown". Meaning, I've had to reinstall and configure Win10 and now will be doing the same with Linux. However, here is the performance increase. This should help greatly with load times in Forza Horizon 4 and 5. And I have enough room to have both at once. Samsung 970 Evo: Crucial T700: Awesome improvement.

I only did one sub, but it was the best in its category/stage. If I could have used my 5900x I would have done the AM4 stage too. Thanks to everyone else who worked so hard to submit scores in every stage! I was really hoping we would get 3rd place, what happened? 7th is still amazing for us and for the scale of our site and people participating.

Welcome!

So here's a question: Does going from 6200MHz cas 30 to DDR-7000+ have any tangible performance improvement in gaming, or does it just help benchmarks?

DOOM 2016 or DOOM Eternal theme (could also be Fire Strike):

Added a few shots in a DOOM theme, or Fire Strike theme. Jeez I need like 5 separate programs just to coordinate it all. -

Thanks, kaliz. Yeah we'll do my upgrades when I can put TIM on the block and install the new m.2 drive. She'll help a lot getting my old cooler out and the board out since this cooler requires a custom backplate for AM5 afaik.

Thanks for the info on B-Die and going beyond 6600MHz. Repped. I won't bother then. I have very very tight secondary and tertiary timings and great performance. As you can see. I will probably wait three months then ask for the M-Die kit that J7SC_Orion has lol I cannot comment on the Nucleus AIO as it has not been installed yet. I had serious hip surgery on Friday and am 3 days post op. Pain is not too bad but the vicadin is making me nauseous. I have hip, neck and low back pain issues so my wife works on my rig most of the time now. The cooler is sitting on the table and I really want to put it in but it may only happen next weekend or the weekend after. Also putting in a 1TB Gen 5 m.2 drive then which she doesn't know how to do, and I will need to make backups during the week and use dd in Linux to image the existing drive then load it onto the new one and expand the partitions to fill the free space. I will probably also run CrystalDiskMark before and after to be able to prove/justify the upgrade to my wife. Lol. Sorry for going a little off topic and big thanks to you for sparing me CMOS reset hell trying to OC my Ram that high.

So much great info here and thanks so much for including ZenTimings in your screenshots. I have G.skill Flare X B-Die DDR5 and run it super stable at 6200MHz cas 30 1.435v, with the IFclk at 2100MHz. VDD_SOC is 1.25v and VDD_MISC is 1.35v. Mem controller voltage is on Auto but giving it 1.465v or something like that. It's passed 2 hours of Memtest86 and 4 hours of GSAT in a terminal in Linux Mint. You guys have given me a LOT to catch up on and attempt. I will probably start with Orion's timings posted a ways back for 7600MHz and see how it goes or if my machine will even post. DDR4 B-Die loved and scaled well with voltage, so I may need to go over the 1.435v limit. Also the system needs to be 120% stable as I run Linux for days on end, as a home server and as a folding box. I probably can't get an identical M-Die kit as my wife just bought me the new EK Nucleus Dark AIO as well as a Crucial T700 1TB gen 5 m.2 drive. She was not thrilled with either purchase. Can't put them in yet as I just had a serious hip surgery and am only 3 days post op. Please keep up what you're doing though guys, rep all around as you are really pushing the limits of what's possible.

That's great dude. You do really good work. Congrats.

Ai Crystal is getting some upgrades soon. Will probably be installed next weekend. I'm so excited. Thank you honey! EK Nucleus dark 360mm radiator that doesn't have a snakes nest of wires running off it like my H150i. Was recently reviewed here by Mr. Fox: EK Nucleus AIO CR360 Dark Review - ExtremeHW REVIEWS.EXTREMEHW.NET EK have bought to market another AIO to add to their portfolio, the EK Nucleus AIO CR360 Dark. How does it fair... Also since installing this will require taking my GPU out and board out to mount a backplate from EK on it, I figured it'd be a good time to get: Crucial T700 1TB gen 5 nvme m.2 drive to replace my old Samsung 970 Evo 512GB gen 3 drive. The larger Crucial drive should allow me to have both FH5 and FH4 installed at the same time as well as every 3dmark benchmark ever and Superposition. With room to spare. I will have to do a lot of work installing Win10 and Linux and reconfiguring both, it will take a lot of work but both Windows and Mint will have way more space. I know the drive won't actually be 1tb, but the overall plan is to give Linux 200GB which will allow for more Timeshift backups, and the rest to Windows.

Nice! Yeah I think my bin was $400 or something, to get a Haswell bin at 5.1GHz is like unobtainium. You must have paid around $6-700 for that. I'm sure it lasted years.

On a different topic entirely, been working on this since February:

Sorry to hear about the failures guys. Something I'd never really attempt on my own for those reasons, even if I did custom loops. I got a 4790k binned to 4.8GHz back when from SiliconLottery.com and had them delid+liquid metal on it for $50 extra such a n00b here lol.
