*Official Benchmark Thread* - Post it here or it didn't happen :D
Reciever replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
100 Points to close in on @Hiew's score of 7911. Im probably only getting a taste of what @Mr. Fox might be feeling when it concerns this hobby of overclocking. It dawned on me that even with an AQUAS vBIOS which allows for 550w TDP I am still "tuning" for the highest clock for a given voltage. The lower the voltage the higher the score. This is with a fresh install of Windows 11 IOT, visual set to performance, monitors unplugged save for a 1080p144hz panel and waiting for it to settle at 22-23c before launching the benchmark. Still 1000+ points between me and the top spot. Getting closer... -
@Aaron44126 Have you had any exposure to higher end docks?

I was actually thinking about that earlier today whilst at work, couldnt help but notice that people overall were looking for simple guides on how to do this at least for the vbios part. As for the EVC2SE once I have that sorted I can drum something up. From what I understand it shouldnt be too overly involved. Nothing like the E-Power or Zombie power mods of yore. If anything blows I finally have a nice backup GPU, 3090Ti :) -

I went ahead and bought an ElmorLabs EVC2SE module. I am sure I am a far and away from a competent soldering technician, however I am comfortable with the iron I have. 550w on chilled air is probably the max I would use for a daily vbios but now I want to see how far I can take card. Still using cheap-o generic pads and the Kryonaught is on its dozenth or so re-application. I can probably add a couple of 900w server PSU's just to split up the load but more importantly reduce the banshee shrieks those PSU's can produce. No idea when the module will show up at this point but I'll keep you guys in the loop as I get more updates... -

Stock heatsink, my room is small so if im running my equipment the window AC unit is running, especially with heat ramping up here in Texas. I tend to essentially disable all electronics while im working and keep things minimal until 8PM when electricity is "Free". Then its more or less off to the races. The Red Devil heatsink is definitely a chonky heatsink, but I dont know that it would cool 550w adequately. From Left to Right is probably this order. General Tune > Specific Tune > Aquas Extreme Tune -

I'll do some more testing tomorrow to see where my memory tops off -

Took some doing to get the vBIOS to cooperate with the 7900 XTX. Flashed via CH341A programmer with NeoProgrammer software. Originally tried the Nitro+ vBIOS, while it worked immediately it only lifted the TDP to 460w versus the 430w I was already working with. Then on to the AQUAS vbios which was said to have a 550w TDP limit. flashed it, but lost video on all DP/HDMI ports. Switched to the backup bios, rebooted and installed some remoting tools as my keyboard was behaving as if its in OS. Confirmed my suspicion but resolution was 640x480 at best. Reinstalled drivers but didnt seem to change the video out problem. Went for the AQUAS vBIOS from Asrock (extreme version) which did detect "Correctly" that I had the right "card" however, refused to install while an AMD driver was installed. Once I resolved that stipulation, Windows flashed the extreme vbios and my DP/HDMI ports came back to life. Red Devil scores on chilled air cooling. To get higher I would definitely need the EVC2SE module, water cooling and chilled water. Was not able to beat @Hiew's 9070XT score of 7911 yet, maybe a fresh install of Windows, this instance has been in service for a year or so now. I also replaced the screws on the retention bracket, and the other GPU screws as well as the previous owner was quite rough with this card before I got it. I still have yet to apply PTM7950, now that I have more or less unlocked what I can do on air its time to get that applied. I mostly wanted to also maintain above 3Ghz, for no other reason than 3Ghz is better than 2.8Ghz :) -

Just posting in case anyone else on the net needs to know. PowerColor Red Devil 7900 XTX GPU retention bracket uses M2x6 screws Hopefully tomorrow i'll get the vbios flashed, been trying to do a little reading on ch341a. -

So @Hiew got his hands on a 9070 XT close to MSRP a little while back. Finally got around to tuning it and sends me this. Also pulled 7985 a bit later. -

I was confused at the first mention of it, befuddled at the second, and doing a second take at the third. I'd like a refund now, thanks lol -

IIRC there are options for that in the settings. -

Considering how 95% of the titles came from consoles its not a surprise that it plays better on a controller. I havent played it a whole lot personally yet, I put it on ice for a year or two and enjoy it at that time. -
Even then I believe those were only for desktops no?
