Well crap... now I have to give a warning.... unless you have a superb imc, and possibly a trx40 mobo, don't run all 8 at 3200. It was working, but
ended up causing some data corruption... Ended up on a fresh windows install and a fresh game server install. And ram back to 3000.
I've seen 2xxx series doing 3200, but it's probably too much for my grandaddy tr.... still doesn't suck though.

Interesting, considering that dual channel is reported as 4x 32-bit on DDR5 now (2x 64-bit on DDR1-4, I'm guessing).

Don't expect me to do math when i'm tired, CPU-Z just loves to change how it reports things and I cant keep up with what's what at times

Damn, data corruption is uncommon
At least you know to make external backups next attempt


Oh this is great: UserBench is at it again
 
OK seriously, are the people at Userbench getting paid by Intel to shill for them? Because damn man, that's some seriously hard shilling there.

The site has affiliate links, the website is it's own shill

Now that Arc is out, I wonder if LuserBenchMark is still shilling for Nvidia? Or maybe they just had something against AMD...

They shill for the profit margin of their links - and the owners insanity
 
So, if they shill for Intel, how would they react to an nVidia vs Intel ARC situation? Would they continue to shill for nVidia? Or will they flip sides to Intel? If they do, forget about it... their reputation would be shit then.

Well felt like I was mistreating TR by running windows on it. Realized I can run all my windows stuff under linux....

Does anyone have any experience with a piece of software called Fan Control?

I avoid software control as much as possible. Even the best ones can't be as reliable as BIOS settings are.
 
Well two months ago I scored 1920x+aorus pro+drp 4 tr4+16gb of memory for 300e(used), and i'm surprised with performance even in 2023.
Currently running at 4050mhz 1.32v and 3333 on ram, everything run's quite fast and snapy,I was able to hit 4.15 with 8cores 16threads and 4.2 with 12cores 12trhreads.
Now with prices of the first and second threadrippers going down(tr4 board's also) I do think that x79 and x99 xeon cpu's are not that good option anymore.

I played around with it, had some serious issues controlling my corsair hardware due to weirdness with a plugin at the time - it was added and removed, and needed to source it manually and then unblock a .dll file for security reasosn and.... ugh.

It worked fine for mobo and GPU fan control, but was also overly complicated. I literally want to set a static PWM % per port, no more no less.


Like OpenRGB, i get the feeling it's the type of thing to drastically improve over time with major version bumps.

Likewise, and change the RPM manually from time to time. They (Fan Control devs) seem to make it harder for us (not literally), as if everyone needs to link a sensor to a fan port, and have an automatic control.
 
Hey,

I really don't know much about memory OC. Only thing I've manually set are 1st five basing timings, trfc, ProcODT, voltages. Any tips to squeeze more stability/performance ? Those on screenshots are settings gaming stable (tens of hours), didn't do stress tests. Unidentified Hynix memory (GOODRAM 16GB 3600MHz CL18 IRDM RGB).

So i'm back to stock stings with my 1920x and my voltages are all over the place, 1.225v for all core and 1.475v for single core boost(hwinfo64).
Is this normal?
 
Wdoox said:
O ok,that's a relief.
I just wonder why they put so much voltages for stock setings, when max safe voltage is like 1.425v or something like that.

On desktop parts they give 1.5v :D

The voltage is needed to push the single core clocks so far, there is no amps behind it because AMD is controlling the voltage there. If you were to give 1.425v, the CPU would then be getting the full voltage, along with the current to go with it which makes for a toasty situation depending on the workload.

you're misunderstanding things based on how old hardware worked - voltage is the part we control, but amperage is the actual problem

1.5v for a single core is nothing, but for 16 cores? that's going to use a TON more power and run all power control hardware on the board and CPU much, much hotter
 
Hello all.

I just ordered my yearly platform upgrade. It'll be here in about a week. 7950x and Aorus Elite X670 board. 64GB of G.Skill ram across two sticks for the IMCs benefit, was on sale at the time. This stuff:


Wondering what pitfalls I may want to watch out for with the latest AGESA, or is it mostly smooth sailing now?

Congrats! :)

The pitfalls mostly depend on your specific board, in my opinion. I'm still on AGESA 1.0.0.4 with mine, and I don't dare to update. Don't fix what isn't broken as they say. :D

The factory BIOS with the first AGESA was a mess, though, so definitely update it as soon as you put the system together.

The only weirdness I'm experiencing now is when I first enable EXPO, the board decides to match the SOC voltage to the DRAM voltage which is way too high at 1.35 V. Then, when I manually lower it to 1.1 V, boot up once, then go back to the BIOS to set it back to Auto, it magically settles at 1.2 V, which is just fine. Also, the "RAM context restore" (or whatever it's called) option that's supposed to give you quick boot times is still broken on 1.0.0.4, and I'm not sure if it's been fixed since. My system doesn't boot at all if I enable it. Disabling it is not a problem, an extra 30 seconds doesn't bother me. Other than these, smooth sailing. :)
