Highest SP I’ve had with 270K is 89. it’s a solid 89 with balanced P/E cores and it does 5.7Ghz rock solid. It also have excellent thermals and core temp distribution. If this SP97 can’t do 5.7Ghz P I’ll be very disappointed. 5.8ghz would be pretty sick. There are just so many moving parts on Arrow Lake that it makes binning difficult but fun. @Mr. Fox Id love to see what scores your newly delidded 270K can put down in the new Geekbench 7. Get the chiller running and push it! lol.

I did but I'll probably end up regretting it lol. All of the 270K I've used have all been good samples, small differences really and this one might end up being worse than my current chip, hard to say. It looks fairly balanced, maybe I'll get lucky and it's a 5.8Ghz P on stock IHS with AIO but who knows. Maybe it won't scale with voltage like I said.

Saw that too. The IMC has me saying nah lol. Besides my current chip has been flawless at 5.7Ghz P, maybe that chip could do 5.8? Maybe. The thing about SP, is that the number doesn't always tell the full story. Sometimes chips just fail to scale with the voltage headroom they should have left.

Whew!! Good stuff, let me know how it fares for you if you don't mind! I was seeing around 10-13c Hotspot Delta, with a spike to 17-18c in transients but they were rare.

The checkmark is required to make it work, will update that in a new simple guide. Sorry that needs to be added and clarified.

For some reason your HotSpot.dll is only 6kb and mine is 7kb (actual size is 6.5kb). Something might be wrong there. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tFywxgBq7HzfNxhAV3MqSKXizgKnEhUP/view?usp=drive_link That is a direct copy of my .dll that is working. Try this.

Did you do this to your GPU profile? [Settings] LowLevelMonitoring=0 Otherwise it will fail to launch. Edit: Also to answer your earlier question, just the normal latest Beta 3 MSI Afterburner works with this. I've tested it on both my RTX 5090 D and RTX 5070 Prime systems. Another user on OCN.net reported it working too. Sorry the instructions are just way to complicated and non-sensical. I will go back and have the robot make a clean and simple PDF. Way too much fluff.

Hmmm. The .dll isn't even shown? Let me go back and look at what the robot typed in the guide.

Did you import the sensor? Under monitoring tab, go to "Active Hardware Monitoring Graphs" -- the ... at the right of that. Checkmark on the BlackwellHotspot.dll and hit Ok then Apply. You will then have both GPU 1 Hotspot Temperature and GPU 1 Hotspot Delta at the bottom of the monitoring tab. Might need to restart Afterburner to get to populate after you enable the .dll Apologies for not being more clear. I'll update the guide. Also this is how the RTCore.cfg file should look.

BlackwellHotspot_v1.2.dll.txt Use this new version of the .dll I've added Hotspot Delta which is the delta between the coldest and hottest sensor. So now you'll get not only the hottest hotspot, but the delta between the 6 sensors. Edit: Make sure to download it as all files, and save it as BlackwellHotspot.dll

Morning project done, did this with ChatGPT in a couple of hours. Remove the .txt from the hotspot.dll @Mr. Fox @Papusan @electrosoft BlackwellHotspot.dll.txtBlackwellHotspot_MSI_Afterburner_Guide_v3_1.pdf

And they say AI and LLM are useless. I used my robot and got this added in less than 30 minutes.

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

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

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.
