Has everyone seen the Gigabyte Tachyon Z890? Definitely looks like the Dark motherboards. It’s a spare chip, so owner said I could play with it for a while.

Someone sent it to me to delid, and I gave it a quick test. Then it accidently loaded my 14900KS’s 8600c36 profile with ease, I was like what the heck….

Testing another good Intel memory controller at DDR5 8800c36. As you can see Z790 Apex+Hynix 3Gbit = Are not the limiting factor.

Yep looks to be a good IMC, just know that when you turn HT off, these chips will gain a tremendous amount of ram OC head room (I don’t think it’s a MONSTER though), some can run 8800c36, or even 9200c42 “depending how good it was before with HT on of course lol”, so it’s kind of like removing one thing, to gain OC head room in another. I guess 20c ram temps is air? 🤷‍♂️ I have no idea. Water cooling is air cooling technically, maybe that’s what he means. Those ram temps like mine though.

It’s all setup! The only items left to do: (1) Concrete+ seal around all of the brick block pillars (2) Brick foundation around the home (3) wood porches/steps around the doors. (4) No grass, over budget lol. I have dirt yard! 😎 haha. (5) Interior wood trim and finish up any Sheetrock work inside (6) many more things needed to be done of course.

Other half.

New home is being setup. They have 1 half out there already 🙂. They poured the concrete pad already, put plastic barrier down.

Not exactly pure stock, but not too far off. I’m running my own XOC profile for my ram. 8600c36-49-49-49-63 with 262k tREFI and fully tuned secondary timings. This 8600 profile increases my Vmin/Vmax by 0.027mv-0.029mv over 8200c40 xmp. This profile is stable for anything, so I don’t touch it unless absolutely necessary. It has built a pretty tall brick wall in stability over all of the reboots and re-trains since I’ve been running it for so long now.

Thats so cool. I’m all in for OLED. This monitor has held up just so dang well. I plan to go another 2K hours on it (Lots of people on YouTube with like 7-8K hours on their LG OLED TV’s with no issues) I was absolutely worried about OLED before getting it, but I have become confident in the technology, we too will probably be buying a LG OLED TV for the new house and not thinking twice about it. The picture quality gets rid of all of the things I hated about LCD panels, TN had washed out faded colors, lacking viewing angles, IPS was always glowing with light bleed, neither one can show the color black lol. The PC market is now full with plenty of awesome OLED monitors.

2,000 hours on my OLED now. I wish I could capture its actual picture quality. But YouTube kind of reduces how it really looks. When you play the video below, adjust it to 1080P, and keep it small. I think that’s pretty close to how it looks.

I always thought the two-core boost was really cool! I always use this option every day. On all my chips, 13900K/13900KS/14900K/14900KS. It seems solid with no signs of degradation from using this on LGA1700 or even LGA1200. I am obsessed with CPU stability, real ram stability, and also CPU degradation lol. I wanted to do a comparison of Auto voltage fixed core 5.9Ghz and also the Auto voltage 5.9-6.2Ghz, just if anyone is curious what it looks like. Run #1) 5.9Ghz locked on (8 Cores) Auto voltage DDR5 8600c36. 5.9Ghz Vcore MAX: 1.305V. 5.9Ghz VID MAX: 1.304v. Load Vcore: 1.217V. Package temp: 70C. Idle Power min 16.3 watts Package power Max R23 single core: 84 Watts. Package power Max multi-core: 314 Watts. R23 ST Score: 2,277. R23 MT Score: 43,377. Run # 2) 5.9Ghz (8 Cores) 6.2Ghz on (2 Cores) Auto voltage DDR5 8600c36. 6.2Ghz Vcore MAX: 1.403v 6.2Ghz VID MAX: 1.405v. Load Vcore: 1.217V. Package temp: 70C. Idle Power min 15.8 watts Package power Max R23 single core @6.2Ghz: 90 Watts. Package power Max multi-core: 313 Watts. R23 ST Score: 2,395 R23 MT Score: 43,389 It is important to note, that my best two cores only reach a max voltage of 1.387-1.396V. Since this is the case, I can lock my voltage to this ceiling and during low loads my voltage will never surpass this on any cores, because only the best cores #4 and core #5 are hitting 6.2Ghz. In the above scenarios the voltage is just auto/default. So, it will kind of go where it wants to on all of the cores, even if only two of them are hitting 6.2Ghz. Fortunately, either setup is full auto, and both run really efficient regardless. We have the same nice low load voltage, only a slightly higher vcore for during 2 core loads when the chips hits 6.2Ghz. One just allows a +300Mhz advantage on two cores. I did not mean to highlight this font like this, it copied the font of the IMG url's I posted. Also, the average voltage seems comparable between the two in my time investigating this.

Well, it has been a fantastic run with Intel making their own chips in house. I guess everything comes to an end. It was awesome having gobs of inventory at launch, chips that never sell out. 😁

Let’s trade 4090’s, and I’ll send some cash too lol. 😆 (Being serious 😄)

Yeah my 3090 Kingpin Hydro Copper overclocked like a MAD MAN! This 4090 Gaming OC does good on ram OC. I have had it set at +1600 on the GDDR6X and that's a 100% reliable OC for it. But the core, lolz even just +135 can crash sometimes with auto fan. I usually run +125 on the core which will give me 2,895-2910. I did the math, and I determined with a water block, and with a chiller, my GPU would probably run about 30c-32c like my 3090KP did. But, even with those CRAZY low temps, I would only gain +6.2 steps on the Nvidia boosting algorithm. So with the card at 35c or less, with my current 2910Mhz it would run 3,000Mhz exactly. That's pretty sad! That is a guaranteed locked in 3.0Ghz no more no less. Unless the core had something magical happen with the temps being really low, like if its below 50c or if its below 40c maybe it miraculously changes its behavior and its happy with 3,100Mhz or something like that lol. But, Its not exactly guaranteed. The only thing that is, is the 3,000Mhz at due to the low 35c load temps which is pretty terrible for any 4090 lol. Your card at 35c would probably run 3.2Ghz+ 🤣

I been thinking about buying another 4090, and selling my 4090 Gaming OC. I can probably grab one for about the same price. I really want a better overclocker lol. Seems like a silly time though since 5090 is close. Maybe I will go ahead and sell mine soon and get ready for RTX5000 series.

Since the latest update, this title runs really well. I leave all of the fancy graphic settings on. Film grain, motion blur, chromatic aberration, all of it looks nice in this title. With DLSS Quality+Frame Gen, and Outlaw Graphics settings which are useable. It can run at 60FPS average. And It looks stunning. One more thing, now I’m not sure if you can Force Rebar on that GeForce NOW setup, but I saw a MASSIVE fps boost from doing so. Something like +6 or 7fps alone. When you are getting only 54-56fps, this is an absolutely massive performance improvement.

No sure what GFN is 20fps? lol. No way. This game is very demanding. But even on 4K+DLSS Quality+FG and Outlaw Graphics, I average 60+ fps, my minimums are typically 40-45 fps and not often mostly due to skips. If you set RTX Dynamic lighting to “High/Ultra” thats gonna boost you another +10-15fps on top. Not much of any overclock, my GPU doesn’t really overclock hardly at all. But running just 4K/DLSS Quality/FG and Normal “Ultra” this game is like 84fps average.

Hopefully they have enough VRAM for those of us using 4K and DLSS, I’m almost tapped out, once full the 1% lows begin to tank lol. 😆 Yep, that’s over 24,000MB or 23.51GB of VRAM consumed in Star Wars Outlaws 😱 This title LOVES the GDDR6X overclocks. I remember when the Titan RTX first released. It was a pumped up and glorified 2080Ti with 24GB of GDDR6, it was so overwhelmingly impressive back then. I remember thinking no way we will use that much VRAM. And yet, here we are pushing the limits on our 4090’s lol. Anyways, that Titan AI sounds and looks SICK! 63% faster? OMG. 😱

Yep, it’s like $17.99 USD. So someone could buy the monthly membership, and then just cancel it, and they’d have the title for a month for $17.99 if they didn’t want to spend the full $75 with tax for the game (Not a terrible 1 month rental fee considering they get a bunch of other titles as well). I’m sure after a month the price may even go down some too, and they could buy it, if after a month of straight playing they had to have it. I actually cancelled my Ubisoft membership. I have been going through cancelling many memberships lately. Me and my wife put together a list of all our monthly expenses that weren’t immediately needed, and we discovered that we have been paying out $390 per month in random digital media subscriptions 🙃 since we are about to have a recurring mortgage begin very soon. (All of those had to go lol)

I tested my 4090 Gaming OC last night after you posted that at the full 100% fan speed, it was 59-61c.

I tried Avatar but the fighting animations and explosions were just so awful. I felt like it looked beautiful when exploring, after that wore off the game its self wasn’t all that great. Maybe I’ll try it again some day. It’s hard to think the same developers as Avatar made this game lol. I’m going to be curious how this title looks on Console, maybe the new PS5 Pro will benefit from a nice hardware boost. These fancy graphics are awesome though. And yes the in game graphics are actually better than cutscenes. @Prema my game closes to desktop randomly when using Outlaw graphics settings. Seeing how I regularly keep this title open for long hours, I removed the command line, and went back to Ultra. I think that’s just for testing purposes anyways. It seemed to run okay performance wise, just the random closing to desktop without an error isn’t cutting it for me. 😎

The stormtroopers in this game blow my mind! This video does not do justice.

This game runs fantastic at 4K+DLSS Quality+Frame Gen+ full Ultra Graphics detail, I average about 75fps almost always. At times it is beyond 110+ walking around indoors on a huge Starship or something, while it can drop to 60fps in demanding grassy areas where it’s rendering ray traced shadows on a gazillion glades of grass lol. But usually 70-90fps is where it’s always at. The 4090 gets it done.

People are nuts man, this is the best game we’ve gotten in years lol. For 1080P/1440P you don’t need anything too crazy to run this title. And even 4K maxed runs really really well. That is so long as you have DLSS3 with Frame Gen.

Trying Outlaw settings now! It’s gorgeous. Love this game. It doesn’t get that warm for me. My GPU has no extra fans on it, only its own fans. And I am hitting 67c@575+ watts. Game has been running about 3 hours now.
