So I downloaded stressapptest, it was in the repos (Linux Mint so probably in Ubuntu repos). I passed an hour but that's not enough for me. Linux is my main OS and I only use Win10 for benching and gaming (which doesn't happen often).

I need 100% uptime for my system for various reasons, so..

Hence, I am now running stressapptest for 4 hours. Wish me luck in passing it. Also, thank you both for your help. I remember telling people about stressapptest on OCN and posting screenshots and getting ignored, with people prefering x264 stress tests or IntelBurnTest. Glad to know this is popular now. Thanks to both of you for recommending this. Or rather, reminding me of it.

Ever tried byte-unixbench tictoc? That one is like the only benchmark I know of that will tell you your Instructions per Second in MIPs which you can compare against the timeline here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second

Tictoc, what command line arguments do you pass to stressapptest to check your systems? There's a lot and I'm not sure what to use, what size, etc

Longtime stressapptest user.  It almost always uncovers stability issues quicker and more reliably than memtest. 

 

Additionally, there are some other things you can do to hammer the memory and cache to look for instability.  Feeding pbzip2 a large (100GB+) mix of compressible and incompressible data (text files, pdfs, jpgs, etc.), has also helped me find edge case instability when dealing with large amounts of fast memory on DDR4 platforms.  I haven't played around with DDR5 yet, but the same principles should hold true. 

I totally forgot about stressapptest! I haven't heard that in like 10 years. Yeah, I'll try that, thank you. How long should I run it?

Is one pass of memtest86 enough? I need my rig for other stuff atm.

Got the Asus ROG Strix X670-E Gaming, a 7900X3D, and G.skill Flare X DDR5 6000. Now OC'ed to 6200MHz CAS 30 with 1.435v. Also changed cooler to a H150i because my Arctic Liquid Freezer wouldn't fit and clear the two 8 pin EPS connectors or the top VRM heatsink. But my wife did a wonderful job cable managing the cooler.

Yes it is the kit that Microcenter is giving away, however I bought it from Amazon because my previous setup had Flare X that was also amazing. I still have no clue what the dies are on it other than they are Samsung.

It was $20 maybe 15, works fantastic really.  Just needed something to mount a board to and throw out in the garage.  I am so disconnected with it I use a security camera to watch the code readout lol.  

Lol that's awesome and very geeky

It's the G.skill Flare X 36-36-36-96 memory you can get for free at Microcenter in a bundle right now. First screen is at 6000MHz with stock timings. As for the second one, I had to dig but found a bunch of bios screenshots of timings on OCN from some guy who was running this kit on Zen 4 at 6400MHz. My system was totally unstable and I couldn't even get into Windows at 6400MHz, but I can do 6200/2100MHz. Giving the memory 1.435v. The system passed memtest to 3200% scope in the old Ryzen DRAM Calculator. If my Linux Mint flash stick has memtest86 I will probably run that too tomorrow while I go to the dentist.

I'm over the moon; I think that bandwidth and especially that latency are pretty fantastic for Zen 4. I will be benching it for hwbot this week so we'll see how it does with that. Still have no idea what dies these are. If anyone could clear that up it'd be great because then I can search specifically for them.

Thanks.  Im very impressed with it.   Look at this little engine that could lol.  Just test setup so I didn't go to any lengths making it look good.  

 

 

 

You need one of the bench tables that damric was giving out for foldathon prizes. I have one, but you've already seen my system and I prefer to have it in my case with a ton of rgb lighting. I might find a use for the bench table someday. I'd give you a link to get one but I'd have to do some digging to find it.

Also, see my other topic about RAM.

Memtest passed to 3200%!

Though since this is getting benched for hwbot eventually, I'll know for sure whether it's stable or not after that.

I'm over the moon though, look at the difference:

So I found someone's timings for this memory including bios screenshots of what voltage he was using etc. at OCN. I managed to do this but I have no idea if it's stable or not (about to test now)

He was actually running these timings at 6400MHz. Anyway, this is a huge improvement over the one I posted previously and if I have to drop back to 6000MHz, I will.

I really hope it's stable, going to run the memtest feature in the old Ryzen DRAM Calculator to 3200% coverage and see if it crashes, first I'm going to try Horizon 5 benchmark mode though to see how it handles games.

I'll be doing it soon too. From what I understand or have heard, ratio overclocking on X3D chips is supposedly not possible (they're locked and you have to use PBO). However, in my Asus bios per-CCX overclocking menu, it looked like I could overclock the two CCX manually (probably will try 5.0/5.3 with 1.25v). I don't know if it will work or not though.

Congrats on the score!

Actually it says Samsung in your typhoon shot.

Yeah but it says nothing about what die it actually is and so I can't look up timings from other people using this memory on Zen 4...

Sorry for hijacking your thread Nikado.

We rebuilt Ai Crystal yesterday from 2pm til like 8pm. Actually, to be fair, my wife rebuilt it. She took the old Arctic rad out, took my rgb fans off it, put them on the new H150i (we tested and yes the Arctic would not fit because of the top heatsinks on the board), she removed the old board and put the new one in, and she did cable management and did a particularly great job at hiding the Corsair fan splitter cable, power cable, and Corsair Link cable.

I basically just put the new CPU in the board, the RAM in, and took my boot drive (m.2) out of the old board and put it in the new board under that giant heatsink. I did a lot of walking back and forth to bring her tools etc. So my legs and butt are quite sore. But it's done.

Best part? I use Linux as my main OS and despite it throwing some errors that seem to be related to USB when it boots, it loads fine. The board has an Intel I255-V 2.5gbps lan port and I was afraid it wouldn't be supported. Well, on first boot it was there in the system tray and I set my static IP and tested streaming anime to my Pi and it worked perfectly. All drives showed up etc. The funny thing is that the Ethernet adapter did NOT work in Win10, my wife had to get the drivers from Asus website and put them on a flash stick, lol

I can now answer your question about the Q-Latch: it's basically a round plastic button on the right middle of the board that when pressed will release the top pci-e slot clip.

Anyway, I have it set up with PBO and memory OCed to 6000Mhz cas 36. Unfortunately, with the memory OCed, every time I reboot it hangs on a 15 post code for like half a minute before proceeding to boot. Hopefully Asus fixes this in a later BIOS.

There's my update, sorry it was long. Here's the pictures:

First of all, what kind of memory do I have? What die? It doesn't say in Thaiphoon Burner.

Second of all:

This is my current bandwidth and latency, which seems low to me for running DDR5-6000 in synchronous mode. I've seen similar pics on Zen 4 with DDR5 at this speed and they were like 90GB/sec for both read and write, and had like 62ns latency.

I've never overclocked DDR5 before, if anyone with a similar kit can post their Zen Timings or someone could tell me what dies these are I can look on reddit or something for a screenshot of timings to use with this kit. Also wondering about upping the voltage, it's at 1.35v, and from what I gather 1.4v is the limit for DDR5?

Any help appreciated. Thank you.

@Fluxmaven since I know you have a Zen 4 setup, maybe you can help. And yes, I used the latest version of Thaiphoon Burner and that's what it says.

EDIT: I am also open and willing to try to overclock it to 6200 or 6400MHz and OC the fclk higher. I know it's stupid and doesn't matter, and I have no idea if it's good or not but my SP rating is like 115, if that helps.

I've been staring at that board for an hour.  Is the M2 thinger a heatsink with a heat pipe and all?   How does the quick release PCIE work?  I hate the latches on pcie you can never get to them.  

My Strix board? Yes, the main (top) M2 slot has a heatsink with a heat pipe coming off it. I read the manual and it says to simply remove the 2 Phillips screws on either side of it and it will come off.

I have no idea about the quick release PCI -E. It's an Asus feature and supposed to make it much easier to remove/unlatch a graphics card. The current PCI-E 4 latches on my C8H are a pita to unlatch, especially with a very heavy card. It was bad enough getting two Evga 1080ti FTW3 out of the slots and out of the case, and we haven't even tried to remove the 4090 yet, but wife said it was problematic getting it in (its because of my case)

Either way, hopefully my cooler comes later and we can rebuild. Really hoping the the Intel lan it has is supported in my Linux, if my Linux will even boot at all.

I would personally love an anime girl mascot for the site even if it's unofficial and the site logo isn't included or something. The stuff you posted made by AI was fantastic. I think having more clothing on her would be good though. And personally, I don't see any reason why the logo couldn't be on it and we give her a name. But I also understand Es reservations about it. He doesn't want to cheapen or pollute the brand.

Thank you.

Yep, the top heatsink is too tall and will press against my AIO rad fans, as my Arctic Liquid Freezer II is like a 38mm rad compared to 22mm on a H150i. But we snagged an H150i lightly used off ebay for $110.

As you can see, my Arctic cooler fans are right up against the heatsink on my current board (the fans actually touch it)

Hopefully the thinner H150i will fit, we actually bought one and put it in and everything and then my wife broke the Corsair link connector on it. We did this when the small fan on the block of the Liquid Freezer failed and was making a high pitched whirring noise that just sounded terrible. Ended up returning the (broken) H150i and just bought another Liquid Freezer, we also got a few replacement fans from Arctic. So I've seen the H150i in my rig before and it should fit with the fans and clear that top heatsink (it effing better).

H150i I'm not thrilled about even though the mounting process is very familiar to me (I've used two H100is in the past on a 4790k and FX-8350). I don't like the rgb on the block or the cable you have to run behind your gpu and plug in to a usb header on the bottom of the mobo. I'll lose the cooling capacity of the Liquid Freezers small block fan, and aesthetically the Arctic cooler looks way way better snd matches my psu shroud. But I am not getting another full tower case even though anidees makes one that is a full tower version of what I have now, my psu eps 8 pin connectors wouldn't reach as well as my 24 pin connector, we'd have to buy extensions. Plus my desk can't fit it in the corner, I'd have to remove a little raised stand my desk has, and then there's the issue of cleaning a larger tempered glass side panel. So H150i it is and lets hope it fits. Will be doing the build tomorrow, god I hope I won't have to reinstall Linux and configure it, I'm praying for my current Linux to boot and work.

Mine:

E, my thoughts on this are that the more designs you have, even with the Metal Gear logo or a (more clothed) anime girl on them, more is better. Ultimately, you want people to purchase something, I personally think that having more designs just means more chances for someone to hit the buy button. Something for everyone.

I think you're looking at it conservatively, and it is YOUR brand so you have every right to. I would probably feel the same way. But I am an artist, so I think having as many varied designs as possible is good, hence why I originally made 6 shirts in a variety of color schemes.

Talking about both actually

Looks great to me, that write bandwidth is great and your latency is low enough. Might want to look into Infinity Fabric speed- where it says 925 memory bus, I assume that's half of what your fclk is, making it 1850MHz. Try changing Infinity Fabric speed in the bios and give it more voltage (1.25 SOC voltage) you should be able to do at least 2000MHz but some people are doing 2100 or 2133 (uncommon) I have no idea if it needs to be 1:3 speed with memory but it had to be 1:2 with memory on Zen 3 (fclk half of you memory speed). I really haven't looked much at memory and fclk for Zen 4. Do some more research on this stuff I guess, sorry I can't help more.

Hey Ultra, done anything with those assets I made you?
