That's more like it! Once you lop it's head off, I think you'll be able to break 50K which is wild. I saw someone post a 270K+ with 52K CB23 over at OCN today. Nova Lake is going to go hard with it being Intel's second gen dielet approach. They've learned quite a bit about it after the Arrow Lake fumble. Intel engineer said yesterday on Reddit that the E cores are reportedly as fast as RPL/ARL P cores.

Im on the latest version, but I’ve heard people say it has internal limiters or something and you can’t downgrade. Something does seem to be limiting you. I know you could probably score higher by undervolting (very small undervolt with offsets) on P/E cores but it might introduce instability long term. When I get home I’ll check my score tomorrow. On the road till then unfortunately.

My guess is power limit unlimited? Try E cores at 5.0.

Tbh at said, I ran upwards of almost 1.6v auto into my DLVR on a 285K for 6 months without issue lol.

Actual VRM Core Input Voltage 1.385V Manual Mode - CPU Core Voltage Override otherwise DLVR voltage is like 1.58v at those clocks and is wasted heat.

What is your DLVR input voltage? Or are you bypassing that entirely? with those clocks you should be above 47-48K. Try using 1.4v input.

I’ve seen some doing 5.9ghz on direct die. Seems to unleash the chips a bit.

Dang you got that rig up fast lol. I think with your cooling, you'll be able to push that chip pretty hard.

I mean throwing in a $269 2TB Gen 4 NVME is better than some random 240mm AIO they usually try. NVME and DRAM are the modern day gold lol.

I love that board. Looks retro and cool. I swear I had a board that looked just like it back in the day. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FH173B3C?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback&th=1 -- CL28 at $440 https://www.newegg.com/klevv-32gb-2-x-16gb-ddr5-6000-pc5-48000-cas-latency-cl30-desktop-memory-white/p/N82E16820101096?Item=N82E16820101096 -- CL30 at $419 with code https://www.newegg.com/klevv-32gb-2-x-16gb-ddr5-6000-pc5-48000-cas-latency-cl30-desktop-memory-black/p/N82E16820101095 --CL30 at $419 with code The CL28 are SK Hynix A-Dies and the 6000 CL30 should also be A-Dies. At 1.35v with CL28/CL30, you should have no issue pushing CL26 at 1.45v if you want to manually tune them. I believe this is SK Hynix own branded ram. I think I'd probably go with the sure thing CL28s as they're probably slightly better binned.

If any of yalls are interested in a really good AIO, I just got the new Noctua 420mm AIO and I'm blown away by the performance of the AIO. I had my Corsair 420mm AIO before this, using the same exact Noctua Fans and Thermal Grizzy Kryonaut pad. I tested a before and after run in CB23 with 300w power limits and the improvement is shocking. Best of all, no longer need Corsair iCUE garbage on my system. Just a clean, no RGB AIO and I love it. Same Noctua 140mm Black Fans, Same Thermal Pad, Same Fan Speed. Noctua 420mm AIO Corsair 420mm AIO I've been on a bit of a spending spree lately lol. Picked up the new MSI MPG Ai1600TS PCIE5 power supply with current monitoring and dual 12v2x6 outputs. Finally running native cables and being able to monitor the current on each pin with my HOF 5090D is awesome. No need for a fancy GPU to do this, I can do it with the MSI PSU and monitor all of it in HWINFO64 and MSI Afterburner. Can also overlay it in an OSD so I can keep an eye on it at all times if I want. Then picked up this Noctua AIO and very happy I did. The cooling improvement and headroom it provides me for Nova Lake is very cool. My system is Nova Lake ready lol. Grabbed the Logitech Pro X2 mouse with haptic triggers. It's a total game changer for me. I've never done better in games and just using the mouse on the desktop with a clean and satisfying mouse click. Also it's basically silent, so if my wife is in the office and I'm gaming, my trigger click is dead silent. No more annoying the heck out of her while I click away lol. Think I need to cool it for awhile lol.

Pass for sure. Sometimes I have to wonder what Intel is thinking.

Exactly why I kept my slightly less performant 5090 core with the Dual 12V2x6 connectors. I think it's almost guaranteed next gen high end will feature 2x of these connectors which is why most newer high end PSUs now feature 2x of them.

I would 100% have called the police and filed a report. After I got into my car and grabbed his license plate. Can’t trust anyone these days. Too many local deals have turned deadly.

270K and 5090 in the main setup and 273PQE and 5070 in the tinkering rig lol. My 9850X3D lives in the living room, now GPU-less 🙁. I do have a B580 brand new sealed from Intel as an RMA replacement that I could put in there if I feel like using it lol. If Zen 6 ends up being amazing and Nova Lake a flop, maybe I'll switch it up and drive the AM5 for awhile.
