How come your ranking data in HWB is not populated??

  • 2 weeks later...

It took a LONG while and it was a real pain in the butt, but I finally got 6800 CL30 dialed in as a daily driver memory overclock. Trial and error always sucks.

Spoiler

Some interesting discoveries in the process... maybe at least some part of this will be useful to someone else and help cut down on their frustration. 

  • Setting tRFC and tRFCPB too tight improves read speed, but degrades write, copy and latency and the best overall performance and latency are achieved leaving both of them set to Auto and letting the BIOS train the values.
  • Likewise, tRCD and tRP set too tight produced errors. Moving from 38 to 39 reduced errors, moving to 40 eliminated them.
  • CPU VDDQ and CPU VDD2 and DRAM VPP work best if left on Auto. Setting them manually to the values programmed by the BIOS when set on Auto causes inconsistency in stability.
  • Setting tWR and tWR_MR too tight causes inconsistent results, while leaving them on Auto and letting the BIOS train the values had no effect on performance and eliminated errors in testing.
  • Setting tWTR and tWTR_L at 14 and 28, respectively, displays as 8 and 19 using Dragon Ball. Asus MemTweakIt doesn't even read those two values and it does not accurately read the tWR value. Using either software tool can result in erroneous interpretation due to the BIOS values not being displayed accurately for a  few settings. Most of the values displayed by Dragon Ball match the BIOS settings.

Just a follow up. Further testing of these same settings allows me to lower my DRAM voltage to 1.470V with no errors, even running more a aggressive and longer-running memory test. Read/write/copy and latency are excellent.

Those are really good results. Nice work! 👍

 

Question: What values do you have set in the BIOS for your CPU voltage? Is that 55x on all P-cores? Can you post a screenshot like the one above?

yes sir, its 55x ALL CORE and 43x E-Core ALL CORE.  This 12900KS is MILES AHEAD of my 12900k.  In bios I have 1.350v set with LLC 5, which nets me 1.297v under R23 sustained load.  Also, have to run E Core voltage to 1.250.  My 12900k could do 1 core @ 55x but getting all core @ 55 was impossible due to the voltage that chip needed and even my highend watercooling couldnt do 1.45v load for that chip as instant 100c temps happened.  This 12900KS is a breath of fresh air.  1.297v r23 stable all core 55x and 43x e-cores with 44x cache.  Great CPU.  Im not on that PC at the moment, but if you'd like ill be happy to post up any pics you want, jsut let me know what you want.  It'll be a little later before I can do it, but i will.

Yeah, that is a really great CPU. Congrats. Please post a BIOS screenshot like the one I posted above that shows the voltage settings below "DigitAll Power" in the menu. When you have time. No rush.

here you go sir.  Just had to install a quick portable room a/c unit and im back now.  IF OYU SEE ANYTHING I SHOULD ADJUST, PLEASE INFORM ME!! Also I said above i needed to set my E-Core voltage to 1.250, I was wrong, apparently its at 1.225!  I just know that it defaults to something like 1.05v and during R23 repeat sessions, I would get a error and notice with hwinfo64 open activity on 1 of the ecores would drop right before it would error out, so I read  on OCN that increasing that specific voltage might help, and it did.

Also, this is what the water loop consists of....  EK 420 60mm rad, EK 240 45mm rad, lots of fans, and dual D5's in the dual D5 EK Pump housing.  Flow is ridiculous.  Just waiting for my EKWB FCWB for my 3090Ti to FREAKING SHIP!!!  I havent had a GPU on air in 15years atleast!!! GPU loop is also its own loop with dual D5's in its own Dual D5 EK pump housing and a 420mm rad and a 240mm rad.  Cooling in this case is pretty easy!

Thanks for the screenshots. I do not see anything that I would recommend changing per se. If everything is working well, don't mess with the settings. 🙂 

 

Your setup looks great. It appears we are using the same case (TT Level 20 XT). I really like it. I love how huge it is. I have to position it parallel with the length of my desk because it is too large to fit in the normal perpendicular position. 

 

I am curious about what looks like a mod to your side panel on the far side of the photo. Mine tempered glass side panels. Did you replace the glass with a metal screen of some sort? Did you paint yours white? I would love to see more photos and details on the chassis.

the case is a Thermaltake Core x9  ..... Virtually same case as yours but different panels.  X9 has no glass but rather metal mesh and crappy plexi.

I really miss using my PrimoChill Praxis Wetbench (flat) but the dust here in Phoenix is brutal and there is an endless supply of it. This Level 20 XT, like your Core x9, it a dream to work with. It is like an open bench in terms of easy access with panels that allow me to close it off to cut down on the dust, which is the only reason I bought it to begin with. Now that I have it, I have identified a lot of advantages to it. There are lots of places to attach things that I did not have with the open bench. I loathe working inside of a cramped case, and this is the exact opposite of cramped. More like caverous. 🙂

right, and i wish like hell thermaltake would come back out with these type cases.  Id buy another one in a split second

I paid $249 for mine on NewEgg on March 15 of this year. It looks like it is available from a marketplace scalper for more than twice that much now, and the one shipped by NewEgg is no longer available.

For that totally absurd kind of money, I would go with something even larger, like the W200...

New CPUs showed up today. These are v4 CPUs, which allow a maximum memory speed of 2400MHz. 

So I went from 2133MHz on the RAM to 2400MHz and shaved off a good bit of latency as well.

Also added 8 cores and 16 threads, so the performance improvements are substantial.

Good enough for fourth place at HWBOT

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.
