I have the Alienware Area-51m with i7-9700k and RTX 2080. I'm trying to overclock my memory to 2666 or 2933mhz, not sure if it's possible with my ram though. The picture I sent is from a user from reddit. I did all your steps up to the point, where I can find the variables. I did extract my PE32 text in the form of a text document. But it does not show me the hex values like above picture. Is that important or not?!

This picture shows the hex values for the memory frequencies that are used when inserting them. The highest frequency you can get on the Area-51m is 3200 MHz. If you tell me exactly what you’re trying to do, I can help you out. Also let me know your laptop model, what RAM you’re using, and its stock frequency.

Definitely not a daily driver like this, but worth a few giggles... https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/memory_frequency/submissions/6044182 https://valid.x86.fr/qiv4lc https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/aida64_-_memory_read/submissions/6044183

Man, I’m shocked on 5090 power…. I popped in the 5080 Astral to check things on the 9950X3D2 and grab some rendering video of it, since it’s being sold. Playing Crimson desert 4K leverages the 5090 to a new level completely… CRIMSON DESERT 4K, Cinematic graphics, DLSS Quality, Ray Reconstruction ON. RTX 5080 Astral fully MAX stable OC: 83-84 fps W/ 2X Frame Gen. RTX 5090 Astral fully MAX stable OC: 80-81 fps W/ 0X Frame Gen. (Frame Gen is off) 💀💀💀 PS: GPU Tweak III has a cool GPU hour counter that I actually use. Probably the coolest thing in the app.

Where did you find the variables in the PE32 text document? Is there a specific command I have to put in the "find" option? I looked for maximum memory frequency or something like that and it shows me the frequencies of up to 6200 or something like that but, it doesn't show me the hex values. Like in this picture that I found on reddit!

For now...... AI will eventually replace many jobs including white collar smart sector employment. The only problem here is some companies tried to roll it out too early and are paying the price but the writing is on the wall. AI will only continue to get smarter and better. That is its (un)natural evolution assisted by mankind to usher in their own replacements on many levels. So many are mistaking apathy and disinterested consumerism in regards to AI producing a marketable product to justify its cost. Any and all AI tangible consumer grade products in the here and now that can return even a few pennies ROI is icing on the cake. The real product and end game is replacing expensive human workers as much as possible with AI automation.

Thanks. Happy to share it. Let me know when you get home and are ready to use it. I've got an 8600 and and 8800 CMO I can send. Edit: Here is a zip of the folder (BIOS, CMO and Settings TXT files). @Talon

Wow, nice result! That seems to be a very cherry 270K+ LOL. I might need to borrow your .cmo file lol.

I think this is going to be good enough for now.

The settings I sent you were tested at 3200 MHz using the RAM model shown in the attached photo.

Apply these settings and enable XMP Profile 1. I’d also like you to disable Memory Warm Test (Warm Memory Training) so the system is less strict when training the RAM and boots more easily. If the system doesn’t display any image after the changes, you’ll need to disconnect the CMOS (BIOS) battery to reset the BIOS settings. 0A63 A0 0A64 0F 0A93 00 0A65 02

I think I'm pretty similar. I'll have to check when I'm home again. I still run 8667 CL38 on my 270K.

OK, I got it to boot and validate 9200 in Gear 4 without overclocking the CPU, NGU and Ring, so I will see what happens if I start tweaking those. Will first see if it will boot in Gear 2. If not, then maybe no point in experimenting further except for memory frequency submission on HWBOT. https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/memory_frequency/submissions/6043616 https://valid.x86.fr/kdh1u2 Edit: Nope on G2 above 8800. Back to G2 at 8800 for now. These sticks are not on water yet, so I can't run this too long due to thermals. It doesn't take long for the sticks to hit 50+ °C running Karhu on air. (About 3 minutes.)

He should see more than 5°C decrease, even with the Thermal Grizzy performance IHS. I am using that with the AIO on the B850MPOWER now and it is very close to the same as bare die, which was at least 15°C reduction. I have not watched the video yet (will later) but if he is not using liquid metal maybe that is why he only saw 5°C? Edit: I jumped in and skipped to the thermal interface application. He did use liquid metal. Hmm. Maybe his application is not ideal.

Probably not. I still like it a lot. I might put it in a Lian Li A3 or B4 and leave it connected to the living room TV if Mrs. Fox will put up with it. If I change my mind you will be the first to know. I certainly do not "need" it, but I technically don't "need" any of them, LOL. Maybe I can sneakily get Mrs. Fox addicted to it with a cute case that doesn't wreck her tasteful decor. It is about the same distance... 45-60 minutes depending on traffic (time of day/congestion) and how fast I can drive without standing out as a problem based on the flow of other traffic (which means everyone is doing 85 in a 65 MPH zone, LOL). I'm able to get to 8800 MT/s so far. 9000 seem elusive, but I hear that it takes a golden IMC to do 9000+ (Not sure it is true, but it's the excuse I am hearing if it is not a fact.) I cannot get it to boot with either of the two XMP (8800 and 9466) profiles on the CUDIMMs but I will have to research to see if that is noob user error or I have just hit the limit with the IMC. I might have to do something something in the BIOS to enable the memory clock driver. Just setting the XMP doesn't get it done. https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/aida64_-_memory_read/submissions/6043524

Looking good! At least now you can "run to" your local Microcenter. How far is it exactly from you? I know mine is ~55 min away for the closest one. Uh oh, looks like the B850MPOWER + 9950X are in the potential "jettison" position of the line up now. 🙂 Let me know if you're going to sell off the B850MPOWER in the not so distant future and how much. That's a good and fitting picture of ya spelunking in the Bios @tps3443! ---------------------------------------------------------- Definitely picking up one of these. I'm still rocking a gen 1: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Skip through the slow parts (~7hr stream), but a Solid 9850X3D delid video using TG delid tool along with using a TG AM5 Heatspreader testing.... Not a fan of his data comparative approach. He notes a ~5c decrease in temps lidded vs delidded but I'm not sure why he didn't have profiles saved to use before and after nor not realizing that as soon as you pull / swap your CPU on first detect it will always reset your BIOS to stock. Also not sure why he didn't run CB24 before to get a good baseline of data and some game data to compare after but still informational for the actual delid process and heatspreader usage. Plus he's actually a funny guy. 🙂

It can work in M18xR2 in SG mode but not PEG. Might need to check heatsink. In M17xR3, do you have 120hz 3D panel or LVDS 60hz panel? Don't know if you saw my new custom bios but I got P5000 & RTX 4000 working in M17xR3 using eDP 3D 120hz panel.

It's useful to see the gpu & cpu scores

The memory has no XMP profile.

Bigger the better bro @Mr. Fox?😀 Microsoft confirms bug Windows 11 can grow by up to 500 GB due to errors. Microsoft has confirmed a bug in Windows 11 that can cause up to several hundred gigabytes of disk space to be used on the system partition.

0xA65 = 01 ( costum profile on) Set the memory timings according to the screenshot I sent. The BIOS must be version 1.9.3 or earlier, otherwise the BIOS applies stricter timing restrictions. I’m using BIOS version 1.7.3. On newer BIOS versions, memory timing adjustments are much more limited, so you should use an older BIOS version to apply these timing changes.
