niiice, nifty lil tool. would it work on other mobos as well? or asrock specific?

 

 

wtf 😮 i wonder how many IMCs he had to bin for that RAM speed (and how stable it is).

What happened to memory prices? Chip shortage? I've a brand new unopened 2x16gb Trident Z5 6000mhz rgb kit, and feel extremely wealthy! 🤣

Here is what I use. Save it as Boot-to-BIOS.cmd (or whatever you want) and run as admin. I added it to my right-click context menu using File Menu Tools. Very handy when you plan to reboot and enter the BIOS to make setting changes.

"The Land of the Free". Soon almost gone. Now you see the country being more and more like China. What next from the US lawmakers(legislators)? What a sad direction. Freedom At Stake😒. Now all your privacy/data is collected in the government's servers. Yep, same servers paid by your tax bill. On top you'll have to pay more for consumer hardware due the governments need to store everything of your privacy to control you... Nineteen Eighty-Four is more true than ever.

The US wants to implement an age verification system integrated into the operating system

That era of freedom is nearing its end... Now, there's a proposed law in the US that aims to integrate age verification systems directly into operating systems.

Also the governments want your data. Who'm in their right minds would use Microsoft servers as backup for their data?

He runs a pretty beefy MO-RA setup and bins the snot out of his gear each and every cycle and tunes it up pretty good but I don't remember Sugi being into all the Y-cruncher / OCCT/ Karhu e-peen swinging contests so I'm not sure....

 

Clearly stable enough to game tho! 🤣

Yeah, got $2900 for it which is about $500 more than I paid a year ago. 1440p was definitely holding it back. For now I will just run my desktop as iGPU only which works fine for what I am actually using it for.

 

All that I ended up using on the Vcolor kit was 8400 C40 as beyond that was unstable and I could not pinpoint what was causing the issue. iGPU may be an issue now with the higher MT as well.

 

Nice! Got to play around with it for almost a year and a bit of pocket change for more toys. Can't ask for more than that.

 

Did you try G4 just to rule out the CPU and focus on the memory and to a degree MB? I did that just to make sure I could lock down the memory as far as the Strix would let me go and it topped out at 9066 G4 but that is what the Strix is rated, so there's that. That was with Memtest, TM5 and OCCT.

 

I know at first glance those Corsair sticks wouldn't even boot and when I finally got them to boot they were problematic at 8200-8400 till I did what always ends up happening and just meticulously hand tuning them. How were the temps over 8400? That might be entering the land of needing a dedicated RAM cooler or janky 120mm/140mm fan over it to keep temps at bay.

 

Did you order the epic edition of WoW? I usually pick it up so I can get 2-3 days of play before the unwashed masses come rushing in and gunk things up.

1984 was a reflection on humans and control. For some reason, we end up with those in power that want to control everything, take everything and overstay their welcome....

 

What I notice about the 5080 being the most popular on that chart for Nvidia cards is the absolute DOMINATION of AMD 9070xt (#1) and 9060xt (#2) which is nice to see. If they got a bit more realistic with their prices (which they are, as prices are trending back down), they could dominate even more in that segment.

He does not seem to be into that nonsense. Cherry-picked CPUs, GPUs and RAM seem to be more plentiful in China and neighboring Far East nations and Germany for some reason. The crappier stuff seems to get shipped out to the rest of the world.

Western firms aren't just in China to make things; they are there to sell them. 

• The World's Largest Consumer Market: China is the second-largest retail market and is expected to become the first soon.

Then you have the tech CEO's. Many of them have their family background from Asia and surrounding areas. They won't forget their roots. Born in etc US and or educated there doesn't mean much. They can't forget their past. 

 

And for Germany... They've always been big on technology. They know how to do procurement and deal with Asia.

Yeah I do not think I have ever made money on a computer part like that. When I eventually get around to selling the 4x16GB RDIMMs for the Xeon I will probably make some good money on those too.

 

I cannot remember if I tried G4 but I doubt it. The sticks do not have any extra fans over them although the Apex was supposed to have some kind of ram fan kit that I never installed. I guess with the GPU removed then case temps are probably much better under load now.

 

What I really want to do is get the RAM tuned in the Hydroc G2 so its sub-80ns but that has been hard as its hit a wall around 84ns regardless of bumping NGU / D2D / Ring. 7200 is the limit when using MsHybrid as the iGPU has glitches above those speeds for some reason. tREFI also has to be at 24k as the memory modules get up to 87C under OCCT combined load stress tests. CL34 works in Windows when adjusted but does not give any noticable improvement in latency when tested.

 

I have not ordered the epic edition but thought about it. I will miss when the midnight pre-patch event ends as its been a good testing ground to jump into for a raid-like load any time of day. I guess there will always be world bosses and I have far too many alts now after running Legion Remix.

LOL stability e-peen, has it really gotten to that?! 😄 i can only speak for myself, especially for RAM tuning, stability is key in all the apps you are personnally using on a regular basis.

i have found for my usage profiles 3x runs of anta777 absolut via tm5 ensures 100% stability for all my use cases, including transcoding, gaming and work related stuff 🙂 

 

but then again, im a 24/7 stable settings kinda guy, havent done any bleeding edge benchmark stability runs in ages 😄
