i take back what I said. That kit was amazing and I WANT THEM BACK! (CL18, 3200mhz) Does anybody know how get my 4 sticks of RAM back to 3200mhz? —— I had this CMS 3200mhz CL16 4x8GB kit off of Amazon that I returned, but I was running CL18 with stability at some timings at 3200mhz!!, but forgot what I adjusted on my motherboard (Z170) or my processor (i9-9900kf) I’m trying to get back to 3200mhz so O can have some bandwidth again, and everybsetting I try drops me back to 2400mhz in the Windows environment. It was my first attempt at overclocking RAM and it was a grand slam! I got mad and returned them and I’m running a mixed kit of Micro CL22 and unknown cheap set that used to shut off my computer, but I split the kits up onto separate channels and I’ve been at a nice, stable 2400mhz. I DO NOT WANT TO RUN 4 STICKS!!! That is so much slower on startup and in everything else; why do people only run 2 of 4 kits when manufactures gave you four and they out perform anything else with two slots? Its like driving high revving sports car with donuts on the drive wheels. But anyways, do I need to adjust anything beyond the SA and IO voltage? I can no longer seem to go beyond 1100 mV (1.1 V) on either without my system being caught in a loop. How do I adjust the memory controller properly? I change the latency and set it to relearn, but should I try for 3033mHz? dsanke BIOS, and my keyboard is off currently from having to pull the CMOS so many damn times. (my processor can also undervolt to -0.150. Should I not?)

Yep BH never sent me a thing either! Some of the notifications that I signed up for even said “You’d be among the first to know” yeah right lol that provided some real false hope. I think these retailers need to offer a virtual line for new products, perform a bot check verification. Hard Limit 1 per person. Maybe hold their spot for 12 hours after notification is sent. This would make it a lot easier. I didn’t know this. But most of the GPU shortage is coming from scalpers who make a business model of this with all new desirable product launches. Would you believe that one person got (12) 5090FE’s on launch day? They made like $36,000 USD in profit by doing this. These people apparently take advantage of all product launches and try to keep it up as long as possible. It’s pretty crazy.

I have P650RE #36 (Sager) and P650RP #1!! (Eluktronics) Now on the RP the two LED lights cut out and the computer won’t boot when I press the power button until I replug and the cycle repeats, so is there any remedy for this 1060 laptop? Or is the morherboard dead-dead? also, can a P650HS accept a BIOS flash if the BIOS is locked?

Did you try on your M18X R1 AMD + RTX 5000?

Just the registry mode for "high performance" and "power saving" gpu that I wrote in the rtx 5000 post in m18x thread I'm on 551.xx driver on Win10

Nope, not yet. I just found it funny I had signed up on launch day but totally forgot lol. I was organizing my email and B&H emails after I signed up for some MSRP 9070xt's and an MSRP Prime 5070 (I love the look of the Asus Prime Cards) and when I went to sort them I said, "Hey, what are these two extra emails from them?" LOL

No registry mods? Can I do K3000M + P5200? 427.68?

Are you still planning to get a 5090? Did B&H send you notifications to buy a GPU?

880M + RTX 5000 was using older drivers that had both kepler and turing M2000M + RTX 5000 are both supported in latest drivers so I can use one driver for both (2 INF mods). I can use every feature of RTX 5000 even DX12, ray tracing, dlss, etc. In PEG mode.

Hmmm. With time when I have forgot what I paid😁 Or maybe when I see the prices for 6090🤩 But der8auer ain't impressed with what Nvidia launched.... You really need to see the whole video.

While clearing out and organizing emails I forgot I signed up for B&H notifications/waitlist on launch day for the Astral 5090 at $2799 (now $3359) and the $1999 (now $2399) Gigabyte 5090, so I have those floating out there waiting to pop.... MSI wasn't available launch day, so I had never signed up for the Suprim or Suprim liquid lol.

800mv will boost 2.5Ghz+. We can essentially use idle voltage on a RTX 5090 FE for 4K gaming and maintain stock performance. It is pretty miraculous. Silicon seems to be very good for all 5090’s. And they don’t need all that much voltage. My current 0.895mv and 2.7Ghz is 5% faster than stock. I have grown to love this GPU the more I own it. Hopefully @Papusan will get that too. I’ll bet he will. Anyways, any good deals on 5090’s lately in your neck of the woods? I wish Nvidia wasn’t so stingy with the FE models. During GTC 2025 Nvidia had a “Nvidia Food Truck” parked outside of the event. And GTC ticket holders could buy from this truck. And this so called “Food Truck” was literally selling 5080/5090FE models for MSRP $999/$1999. Apparently the GTC tickets cost $1,125 USD for just 1 day at the event though lol. (Oh, and they had a limited number of these GPU’s I think #80 total 5090 FE’s, and probably double that in 5080 FE’s)

How do you make them work without losing any performance and use DirectX on the slave card? I use 485M and 680M + P5200 and I get crappy performance. I'm at full PCIE speed too.

Use the older one. eSATA port only and USB stick in FAT32. No other files needed, just the BIOS file in the root folder. You will get there, procedure must be accurate to the point to succeed

yup, TM5 is my go-to to dial in D2D FCLK overclocks, works like a charm with the anta777 absolut config 🙂 same goes for D2D RAM OC including subtimings. noice. out of curiosity, what would be ur max frequency at the minimum 800mV core voltage?

RTX 5090FE 4K Gaming with an undervolt inside of a closed case. GPU Core= 60-62c Memory Max= 72c “Imagine adding a rear Fujipoly full coverage thermal pad thermal pad” 🤯🤯🤯 I’m going to add one. I have a brand new 3mm Ultra soft Fujipoly thermal pad that I was going to use on my 4090 once water blocked. But I think I’ll install this on my 5090FE now. 😁It already runs very cool though.

Well, ye, I get that. But the only stable setup being 2133MHz is literal trash. I would understand 2800 or 2666, even 2400, but 2133? I had to waste so much time debugging, and reinstalling windows about 3 times (long story) and dealt with so many crashes 🙂 I do understand it's part of the game but still :)))

From what I know this mutant CPUs have a not so good memory controler, but some people related that they can push 3200 no problem. So it all depends on the binning.

@ssj92Hello. How did you manage to make the GTX 980M + RTX 5000 combo work together with the drivers? Can the RTX 5000 render in DirectX 11/12?

I am using Linux, macOS and Windows 11 at the same time and all are running great for me. I am not the "move to guy", more the expanding one. Throw a machine at me and i can work with it.

ZorinOS is using a rather old kernel and is always late for security patches. It's looking awesome, but i did move away for security reasons. The same goes for ElementaryOS and Pop!OS. Shiny distributions with great visuals and features, but this comes with a price.

I see, thankuu! One more question (sorry that there are so many but I have 0 experience with mutant cpu's and stuff like this 🙂 ) : Idk if I got the cpu with the worst memory controller possible or what but ... I was having issues in basically most applications with random "silent crashes" as in, no error codes no nothing. I ran a memtest86 memory test overnight and saw that it didn't pass, but more interestingly it had errors only on test 6 - block move. After a bit of digging I saw people recommending clocking down the RAM frequency, and so after a lot of trial and error I managed to get the test to pass and my system seems fairly stable so far (I'll make a post about it so somebody else like me that knows nothing doesn't have to suffer as much as me). I was originally running 4x16GB of GSkill Ripjaws F4-2400C16D-16GRS (actually 32GRS cus it's two dual channel kits but whatever) at 2400MHz 16-16-16-39 timings. I tried messing with the timings and loosening them to like 18-18-18-41 or something but that didn't work. What worked though was downclocking to 2133Mhz 16-16-16-39 and also bumped the voltage from 1.2V to 1.35 (I doubt it really mattered at this frequency :))) ). If y'all got any better explanations/tips on how I could overclock the RAM and have it stable (I saw people saying they were running 2900-3200MHz 😞 ) please please please let me know 🙂
