tps3443 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 2 hours ago, electrosoft said: Nice! I stopped at SA 1.35 and switched to G4 when it wasn't posting at all at 8400 on the MSI Z790i I pushed CPU_VDDQ (basically IVR TX) to 1.45, VDDQ and VDD (I let MSI keep them in sync) to 1.55 and a no go. Same on the Asus Strix z790i except topping out at 7600 meant I didn't need to push SA past 1.2. I'll be curious to test each slot individually today on the Strix Z790i today. I was able to get the 8600 stable by increasing IMC voltage from 1.450 to 1.475V. And I had to send 1.550V MEM VDD. Once I got this 8600 stable for 3 cycles 1usmus I turned off that Real-Time memory timings in the bios so my timings stay put. This motherboard does really great with this 8600 though so I’m happy with it. I will try to get 8800 stable next if possible. But it’s gonna be tough or impossible with my cpu and ram. DDR5 8800 stability testing and tuning is when random BSOD’s can occur on my Apex Z790 Vanilla. Similar to those random BSOD’s that my Apex Encore got at only DDR5 8400 lol. So I think it’s actual board lottery at play here. I indeed have a lower binned Apex Encore. I did get 8800 gaming stable on air cooled ram about 3 months ago using my Z790 Apex Vanilla. I keep losing these tedious ram profiles due to bios updates 🙃 Anyways, these voltages and timings are an endless combination. And they are all so different with what they need. My encore responded massively to increasing or lowering the SA voltage. But my white Apex is like totally dead with no feedback to that adjustment. Have you tried doing baby steps with that Strix? set your XMP 8000 in bios, before saving go ahead and adjust speed to 7200 speed, then F10 save, set ceiling voltages for IMC/IVR/VDD/VDDQ/SA and F10 save, then set some super loose timings (CL42-56-56-56-148) F10 Save, and go up in baby steps with frequency letting it fully train each time all the way to 8000 speed. I’m sure you tried everything by now though, and it’s just limited to that 7600, and hey 7600 ain’t too shabby. But the MSI is definitely more impressive here though. Some motherboards individually are just bad batches and provide little feedback or motivation when we are trying to tune them up. It would be COOL to see if exchanging it would result in a better quality Strix board. 2 13900KF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most CPU blocks all perform very similar to each other no matter how expensive one or cheap one may be.

electrosoft Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Just finished up some memory testing on the Strix Z790i. I think this board has potential but I'll need to dial in the CPU at 8000 to see how it compared to the MSI then switch back to the MSI and rerun all these tests but in the end it is going to be 6 of 1...half a dozen of the other methinks. I did single sticks and then dual sticks. Conclusion: Slot A taps out at 8800 for posting Slot B taps out at 8600 for posting G.Skill sticks: Stick A was able to post up to 8800 in slot A Stick A was able to post up to 8600 in slot B Stick B was able to post up to 8400 in slot A and B Both sticks posted at 8400 (MSI only posted at 8200) A+B = only pass TM5 at 7600 B+A = able to pass TM5 at 8000 While testing at 8000, something is producing coil whine that isn't there on the MSI. I still need to switch to Gear 4 to take the CPU out of the equation just as a check if I can post higher. 4 Electrosoft Prime: SP109 14900KS | Asrock Z790i Lightning | MSI Suprim X Liquid 4090 | AC LF II 420 | TG 2x16GB 8200 | Samsung 990 Pro 2TB | EVGA 1600w P2 | Phanteks Ethroo Pro | Alienware AW3225QF 32" OLED Heath: i9-12900k | EVGA CLC 280 | Asus Strix Z690 D4 | Asus Strix 3080 | 32GB DDR4 2x16GB B-Die 4000 | WD Black SN850 512GB | EVGA DG-77 | Samsung G7 32" 144hz 32" My for sale items on eBay.

Its reinforced PCB design allows for a zero-bending connection, ensuring full contact with all cable terminals and eliminating the possibility of thermal issues caused by tight bending radii. Hmmm.

Hmmm _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Will this affect Nvidia? Or is the need much bigger than what Nvidia, Intel and soon AMD can offer? Intel and Gaudi 2: soon the end of NVIDIA's monopoly in AI? In short, all these benchmarks are very encouraging for Intel. It remains to be seen what the price of such a solution is. As a reminder, an NVIDIA H100 costs at least $30,000, or even more, with Amazon listing it at $43,989. In any case, Intel wants to position itself as a competitive performance/price ratio in the sector! 2 1 1 "The Killer" ASUS ROG Z790 Apex Encore | 14900KS | 4090 HOF + 20 other graphics cards | 32GB DDR5 | Be Quiet!

electrosoft Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 10 hours ago, Mr. Fox said: Man, dude is really ripping on AMD here, but if it's true, it's true. I don't know and don't intend to find out. My 7800X3D totally outclassed (highs and lows) my 12900k + tuned B-die 4100 DDR4 for WoW and Fallout 76. I'll be curious to see how the 13900ks + tuned 8000 DDR5 performs as I'll end up swapping my 4090 and 7900xtx back and forth between both systems to really get a good set of data to see. He talks about the "AMD Dip" but it isn't the same "dip" he was talking about with AM4 where frame rates would tank. This is a ~10% drop in 1% and .01% vs Intel without that brutal chunk AM4 gave which was painful. I did experience the "dip" on AM4 in WoW in Raids (most CPU intensive part of WoW with all that player data) with my 5800X and it was brutal when it would hit.

Papusan Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Anyone that have wondered why Intel quietly fused of AVX-512 functionality for their 12th gen Alder Lake, then 13th and 14th gen Intel mainstream processors? Most likely because that was the easiest fix. CPU VULNERABILITY Intel is said to have known about Downfall as early as 2018 Plaintiffs accuse Intel of having known about security problems five years ago, which ultimately led to Downfall. New Intel Downfall AVX2/AVX-512 Vulnerability & Its Huge...... Lawsuit Claims Intel Sold Billions of AVX-Enabled CPUs Knowing of Downfall Vulnerability A new class action suit alleges Intel sold billions of CPUs which it knew would be susceptible to an AVX side-channel attack, and complains the patch saps performance too much. End results.... An older 12th gen Intel Cpu with disabled baby-cores but with AVX-512 functionality activated can crush an 13/14th gen running full oc'd speed with all 24 cores. Isn't that disgusting? Top ranked 8 cores Cpu - Y-Cruncher Pi-1B https://hwbot.org/submission/5396871_sergmann_y_cruncher___pi_1b_core_i9_12900k_(8p)_12sec_945ms Fastest 24 core Intel with fused of AVX-512 https://hwbot.org/submission/5125390_luumi_y_cruncher___pi_1b_core_i9_13900k_13sec_938ms Almost 1 second faster in Y-cruncher Pi-1B with 16 less cores. And with AVX-512 enabled the cpu needed 600MHz lower clock speed. Again... That's disgusting. More cores but worse bench results. What a deal. I realy hate how Intel deal with their valuable customers. It should be up to the end-user if he prefer less secure system (if they prefer enable AVX-512 features in firmware). This Sunday's word for today has to be..... 2 1 "The Killer" ASUS ROG Z790 Apex Encore | 14900KS | 4090 HOF + 20 other graphics cards | 32GB DDR5 | Be Quiet!

Rage Set Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Another product launch by AMD that MSI isn't participating in, at least not initially. While I understand TR isn't going to sell like hotcakes, MSI's wait and see approach is very interesting. MSI did this with AMD's 7000 GPU series and I believe they did the same with AM5. There are two theories based off rough rumors for MSI's apprehension. AMD is punishing MSI due to their past transgressions. MSI did offer features/functionality (as did Asrock) that often went against AMD's wishes. I really don't think this is the case. MSI is trying hard to take EVGA's spot in the eyes of Nvidia and Intel. If KP does go to MSI, this all makes sense. MSI may soon abandon AMD and their products. Thus becoming an exclusive partner for Nvidia (GPUs) and Intel (CPUs). Perhaps one day, we will have a MSI K|ngp|n Lightning card and KP OC mobo. I believe this is what the plans are. 2 2 1 A Change Is Gonna Come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be on to something here @Rage Set Doing a quick check: I noticed MSI has either severely slowed or halted production of their MSI 7000 series cards. On Newegg, only MSI card available is the 7600. On Best Buy only MSI card available is again the 7600 with a few clearance 6000 series models On Microcenter the only consistently available card again is yep, the 7600 with sporadic offerings depending on store. The reference model disappeared quite some time ago and recently you can't find the MSI 7900xtx Gaming Trio anywhere. I just happen to have found an open box Amazon Warehouse model. I tend to think Nvidia sales are more plentiful than AMD sales and margins are thin on both sides but I can see them doing what you said and going all in with Nvidia only on the GPU side and the ultimate abandonment would be going exclusively Intel for CPUs too. We also know that when EVGA waded into the AMD waters with their X570 MB, they encountered equal if not worse control issues than Nvidia. I'm sure it hasn't been a picnic for MSI. It is probably easier to just focus on Intel and Nvidia and kick AMD to the curb. I also noticed prices for MSI 7900xtx Gaming Trio cards have shot through the roof with the few still at various MC back up to $1125, they were ~$1200 on Newegg before the last sold out and on Amazon they went from $979 to $1099 to $1199 and now $1395 only from third party sellers with the seller list having shrunk from ~8-10 down to 2. As for Nvidia 4090 stock: Only in stock cards at Newegg. Suprim up $150. TUF up $300....along with a sudden increase in S&H which is a classic NE profiteering mechanism. New delivered cost for my neck of the woods (We're officially over $2k): But they're selling as both existing 4090's are in the top selling chart for NE: Best Buy still completely sold out. 1 2 1 Electrosoft Prime: SP109 14900KS | Asrock Z790i Lightning | MSI Suprim X Liquid 4090 | AC LF II 420 | TG 2x16GB 8200 | Samsung 990 Pro 2TB | EVGA 1600w P2 | Phanteks Ethroo Pro | Alienware AW3225QF 32" OLED Heath: i9-12900k | EVGA CLC 280 | Asus Strix Z690 D4 | Asus Strix 3080 | 32GB DDR4 2x16GB B-Die 4000 | WD Black SN850 512GB | EVGA DG-77 | Samsung G7 32" 144hz 32" My for sale items on eBay.

I hope the latter is true. If they want to be taken as seriously as EVGA was by enthusisasts, they'll need to not waste a lot of time and energy with mainstream consumer garbage, at least in the enthusiast space products if they plan to dominate there. And, they'll need to provide a warranty as good as EVGA provided for those products. The three to 6+ weeks turn-around time on warranty service, with outbound shipping paid by the victim, as we have come to expect from ASUS, is totally unacceptable. Taking a wait-and-see approach and only building/selling what is popular and sells well, as smart as it might be, is not very likely. It would be difficult to find fault with it, though. 1 2 1 Wraith // Z790 Apex | 14900KS | 4090 Suprim X+Byksi Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | Toughpower GF3 1650W | MO-RA3 360 | Hailea HC-500A || O11D XL EVO Banshee // Z790 Apex Encore | 14900KF | 4090 Gaming OC+Alphacool Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | RM1200x SHIFT | XT45 1080 Nova || Antec C8 Spectre // Z790i Edge | 13900KS | 3090 Ti FTW3 | 32GB DDR5-8200 | RM1000e | EK Nucleus CR360 Direct Die || Prime A21 Raptor // Z690 PG Velocita | 13900KS | 2080 Ti | 32GB DDR5-6400 | RM1200x SHIFT | EK Nucleus CR360 Dark || Praxis Wetbench Half-Breed // Dell Precision 7720 | BGA CPU Filth+MXM Quadro P5000 | 4K Display | Sub-$500 Grade A Refurb | Nothing to Write Home About Mr. Fox YouTube Channel | Mr. Fox @ HWBOT The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes.

Almost every memory kit sucks because we get 1 bad stick in the kit. One stick may hit like 8400Mhz, and another can do 8,900Mhz. Those are non gamer oriented. And pretty affordable at $194.99 which is a good buy for 48GB! The heat spreaders probably come off easier too. I am limited by my ram for the most part. But the link you just shared has me wanting to try those 100%. I bet they are really good. My current ram is at its limits. I would consider those Team Groups as like buying 3gbit green sticks, but we get a base XMp profile for free. I doubt they are binned at all. We gotta do that. They are also 7200C34 compared to my kit which is 7200C36. I bet 100% that you can find a golden match set from binning these. I’d like to find a set that can do the 8600C36@1.400VDD and 8800C38@1.470VDD. My rams are stretched pretty thin to 8600C40 lol. On 11/10/2023 at 8:19 PM, Mr. Fox said: I would expect they are very good, hence the name of them and the absence of RGB. Only way to know is to buy a kit and see. RMA if they are trash. Mr. Potty-Mouth Jufus the Dufus swears by them. Mine are supposed to be here on Sunday. I will know within 15 minutes if I am keeping them or sending them back for a refund. I have several saved memory profiles to apply that will tell me almost instantly if they are gems or junk. Removing the heatsinks by soaking them in lacquer thinner is very easy if they are good enough to keep. Well, not a bad kit. Quality is fine. The advertisement (even on the box) of a "one piece design" on the heatsink is just straight-up false. It is two pieces. The seam is not obvious at a glance and it looks like one piece. Not sure I am going to keep it because it is not remarkably better than the RAM I took out of the Dark. It runs the same memory overclock as the G.SKILL kit on the Apex. I will think about it for a day or two. Not really gaining anything for the money spent. The 16GB*2 generic green A-die sticks are basically just as good. The only measurable benefit, which may not even matter in the grand scheme of things, is the extra 16GB of memory capacity. The extra capacity is worth something, but I am not sure that is a good enough basis for keeping versus RMA/refund. Here is the XMP default. Here is the memory overclock matching the Apex. If I keep it then, of course, it will have the heating blankets removed and the water-cooling kit on the generic A-die sticks will be installed on them. Just a matter of whether or not I decide it is worth the extra money and associated hassle. I'm kind of leaning toward "no" but we will see if I change my mind in a few days. I gained nothing on overclocking capacity, but also didn't lose anything except the slightly tighter timings possible with the 16GB first-generation A-die modules. 5 1 Wraith // Z790 Apex | 14900KS | 4090 Suprim X+Byksi Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | Toughpower GF3 1650W | MO-RA3 360 | Hailea HC-500A || O11D XL EVO Banshee // Z790 Apex Encore | 14900KF | 4090 Gaming OC+Alphacool Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | RM1200x SHIFT | XT45 1080 Nova || Antec C8 Spectre // Z790i Edge | 13900KS | 3090 Ti FTW3 | 32GB DDR5-8200 | RM1000e | EK Nucleus CR360 Direct Die || Prime A21 Raptor // Z690 PG Velocita | 13900KS | 2080 Ti | 32GB DDR5-6400 | RM1200x SHIFT | EK Nucleus CR360 Dark || Praxis Wetbench Half-Breed // Dell Precision 7720 | BGA CPU Filth+MXM Quadro P5000 | 4K Display | Sub-$500 Grade A Refurb | Nothing to Write Home About Mr. Fox YouTube Channel | Mr. Fox @ HWBOT The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes.

Sending it back for a refund makes the most sense.
