While i was shopping saw this ASUS Rog Strix SQ7 SSD with Phison PS5018-E18 , DRAM cache, 7000/6000 for 54 euro. I think the next one with those specs is a Kinston KC-3000 or higher

I was looking at the Gigabyte Aorus B650E tachyon with 16 of the 105A powerstages and dual DIMM but couldnt find it in Europe, Then next up the Strix models as they are the cheaper option with bclk generator chip. They look ok, are a bit basic. Would rather get a GENE so i was also looking for that, once had a deal for 300 but then the burning CPU debacle came along and i settled with the cheapest white ASrock and it ran my 7700X with A-die really good.. Then i saw the Taichi Lite at CES and this instantly was my favorite board , the specs, the minimalistic looks, the E-ATX formfactor. I like Asrock too. After that i kinda forgot about it because my Asrock B650M Pro RS with 7700X could do 7800C34 stable and 8000+ in benchmarks and that is pretty much the best you can out of the non 3D models anyway. But now I recently swapped the CPU for a 7800X3D and cannot get beyond 102.5 bclk, whit 5050 max clock thats a laugh So a couple days ago I found the Taichi Lite is for sale in Italy and start searching for it and it appears in my webshop Megekko. I discovered on a forum , another tweaker decided to contact Asrock benelux and asked for the release date and the next day Megekko ,which is official retailer gets a box of them and maybe i am the second guy to get one in Benelux. The ones with bclk generator are all very expensive, i think the next cheap option is the Strix B650E-F for around 275, im not evenb 100% sure the lower end strix models DO actually have one. then the B650E AORUS Master, then it get tricky because the GENE for 400 is still extremely tempting for the specs you get. All the other more expensive ASUS boards and Gigabyte boards have bclk gen and are very good looking, but a full specced E-ATX Taichi for just 299 dollar at Newegg mate thats just insane value for any upcoming AM5 CPU

couldnt resist to get this one for 319 at megekko, a proper PCB with 2520A Vcore rating (24 phase 105A) and external baseclock generator chip for my 7800X3D. It does look pretty stealthy which i really like as well. I could have gone for the GENE for 399 at tones.be but this one is E-ATX which i prefer. cant wait to get it rolling

i would watch every OC or modding video

was looking at second hand GPU's to play with.... most of them are old and overpriced, so went ahead got a 8GB Radeon card with a copy of Starfield. Also a 45gram MX-4, im using sample tubes from EKWB and AiO pasts from thermalright so this can only be an upgrade 1x € 199,00 1x € 17,95 1x € 0,00

i found a ballistix memory cooler from the ddr3 era, modded it straight away with those fans and it looks really awesome now!

The oldest piece of hardware i use everyday in different systems is a Arctic F8 fan for cooling my RAM. It serves at least 13 years(!) in most of my systems now, i think it has seen at least 35 kits of DDR3 and 4 lol. Unfortunately, after using it a lot this year, the bearings are now completely mush and makes a terrible noise, so i upgraded to something more quality just today!! they were on sale just 7,50 euro a piece, with all kinds of weird 7V 9V extension cables really quiet too

good going, but DAMN! i didnt know i only could do 3 submissions for the Ryzen Cezanne 3dmark Vantage competition, pretty stupid because my first entry wasnt even a valid score. Will fire up my 7700X and the other categories i have hardware from

Personally i think its a 'decent' deal. 300 bucks for 8 zen cores + x3D is very nice. But only if you play games and have a good AM4 board imo. CPU itself doesnt OC proper, RAM OC is mediocre, bclk OC is mediocre. I would get either a 5700G/5600X for good overclocking and decent performance on AM4, or a AM5 mobo+7700X for a bit more money but same performance in games and upgradepath. I owned a 5800X3D and sold it right away just because it didnt OC. I kept a 5600 at the time with 4,95GHz + 4000C15, whereas the 5800X3D couldnt even get over 3733. The 7700X OC to ~5,7GHz with 4x16GB 6200C28 on a 150 euro B650, not much more! So if you want proper OC, get a 13X00KF (6,2GHz+8200C34) or wait for Intel 14th gen.

good choice for going AM5 and the MEG mobo! I just get all socket mobo's to play with but if i really had to buy just one system i would get something like a 8800X3D or a 14700KF and wait for a bit!

I had a similar issue yesterday when trying to play BF2042. I switched up powersupplies when building, and for some reason i only used a Seasonic 500 watt gold PSU for a 12400F+GTX1080. I OC'd the CPU to 5,2 and RAM to 7020C32, my 'normal' profile, but after some time my PC froze up in game. Switched back to 750W gold and havent had this problem. I think my 12v rails couldnt handle the watt spikes. GPU was pulling 250W CPU around 75W. Glad your problem is fixed too

very nice have to try it out!

I was getting a Z790i EDGE but then i saw a this OC mobo and couldnt resist, I ended up getting a Z690 Tachyon! just set it up, and it can get the immersive 6GHz / 8 GHz combo without much hassle! Excited!

EKWB had a massive sale couple weeks ago, snatched 2x Supremacy Classic D-RGB - Nickel CPU waterblocks and 12x Classic STC 10/13 fittings for a mere 50,97 euro. AM5 and LGA1700 brackets were free. That little pump res combo i had laying around. Gonna build something in my Jonsbo D31 case, i have 2 of them. One with the LCD screen and one without. In the process of cleaning and painting some rads white One will be a LGA1700 system the other one AM5

i did get a r5 2600 for another competition, DDR4 max clock! I have it un a unify-x havent tested it yet. Also my HD6850 shows as HD6850X2 in the benchmarks so i cant use it... I did ask on the hwbot forums but didnt got a reply. It tops out at 925MHz / 1200MHz anyway so i will be placed second to last

Got some brackets from aliexpress for a 13600KF and a 7700X! On the AMD im running DDR5-6200 and on Intel DDR4-5560

Personally I would select a motherboard that has option for extreme DDR5 OC, preferably 8000+ on QVL. I was looking at the MSI MPG EDGE WIFI Z790 mini itx or the newer Z790/B760 boards. Also the Z690 Unify-X has been dropping in price lately which is a good ram overclocker. for ATX i would go for either MSI or gigabyte, Z790 Tachion or Master, AERO G looks good, or MSI EDGE series. Asus maybe the Z790i mITX they can do 8000+

Very nice for b-die. Havent tried iiit yet! Micron i could get to 5600C40 (2x32GB) Hynix A-die 4x16GB to 6000C28 and M-die and A-die 2x16GB to 6200C28 tight. All with around 1,4v so pretty high., im also struggling to get pass 6200 on AM5, i think its because of the soc voltage can be only a maximum of 1,3v? With Alder Lake non-K OC on i3 and i5 its pretty much maximum stable 7100C32, and without bclk maybe 7200 for ddr4 i run a system now with DDR4-5500C20-27 with 2x16GB micron rev.b with i5 12400F at 5,5GHz. But i have to lower both to 5,4GHz if i wanna play BF2042

wow damric thanks for that! Do you think i will need to contact Leeghoofd from HWbot with this?

i have saved the bios , got the proper bios from techpowerup, got atiflash, but i just cannot get it to run. I have used the program before on HD 6950, Fury, RX5700 but i just cant get it to work with my HD 6850

no it really a single GPU card, very strange. The thing is it works fine, but when uploading to HWbot it says HD6850X2 on GPUZ so that is not valid.

got this VTX3D HD 6850 from Ebay but it has a HD6850X2 bios on it and I dont know how to flash it to the proper one.

Thank you, i have tried versions of dragon ball, dragon center, msi oc engine, asus turbo vcore, asrock and gigabyte utilities, xtu, and none of them work. Do you have other options maybe?

Awesome stuff, do you happen to know a method for my msi b760 mortar max board to use that software? Or anything that can OC in windows?
