No, just using wattman. What is MorePowerTool?

 

Use this while we still can

I remember back in the ATI days flashing vbios on my 3850's to make them 3870's. Can we say flash a new vbios from a sapphire nitro to a pulse? that would raise the default clocks a bit. I have not done any vbios stuff in a long time.

 

I did see your screen of your memory OC, and was wondering how it was so high, thought maybe it was afterburner. Wattman limits it to 2150mhz or something/

getting there

 

 

no aa no dlss and im averaging 55fps with crysis benchmark. can it run crysis settings

MPT allows you to remove those limits

 

I botched the vBIOS edit on one of my 5700xt's this weekend though I didnt do any research to see if it was write protected, I dont think it was but oh well its an easy fix

How did you fix it? Two cards installed at the same time?

[Raiderman]

hmmm, doing something wrong. RBE says not supported when trying to load the navi21 rom.

[ryan]

so we all benchmark but i was thinking why? do we have a pleasure pursuit or a work related reason.. heres maxed and optimised

 

 

similar but the difference is the difference worth it for pleasure....would I want 200 plus fps or 67fps

Thats one way to do it, easiest method is just plugging into the iGPU with the dGPU installed in the same system. Its practically the only reason why I hold on to one optiplex 9020 or similar type of system.

MSI Unify-X has improved drastically since the new bios. Lower SA voltages, and easier memory overclocking. DDR5 8000 booted in to windows first try. And no BSODS so far! CPU at 6.0P/4.8E/5.1R and DDR5 8000!!!
 

1.400V VDD2 Auto

1.400V CPU IMC Auto

1.200V SA Auto

1.665V VDD MEMORY

1.665V VDDQ MEMORY

Same with the MEG ACE, steady progress with each BIOS upgrade, which has been pleasantly surprising, even though it would have been ideal if they had got everything right at launch 😉

 

I'm on the hunt for a good, fairly inexpensive, DDR5 motherboard that can do 7600+. I was just going to snag an MSI Z790I Edge as it is certified 8000+ but if the Z690 Unify-X can do 8000 now (2x16GB) I might grab one of those instead used.

 

I refuse to pay the outlandish prices for the Apex, Dark or Tachyon.

It is now the beginning of February...

 

I said many months ago when many were lamenting the scalpers and scarcity of cards to wait for ~Feb 2023 for clarity and market conditions were nowhere near the same as during the CryptoPando times. It was just holiday/new product conditions.

 

Checking Newegg, plenty of 4090s and 7900xtx's in stock now along with 4080, 4070ti and 7900xt's all at MSRP (select shipped/sold from newegg).

Are you using MPT alone? With my card, I am able to adjust the PPT with MPT and writing the SPPT, then restarting my computer. The changes take hold.

Watched the video and it says not to use write sppt, it does nothing now anyway when clicked. Save mpt file, then use Red bios editor and open stock Navi bios, then transfer saved mpt. I cannot get that far though.

Yeah, the robust RAM support was one of the many selling points for me, as it was clear that getting a 4xDDR5 DIMM config to work faster than 4000 or 4400 MHz could be a challenge. MSI's RAM compatibility list looked more impressive than those of comparable Asus, GB and AsRock boards. I would say that MSI delivered somewhat well on that front, with no issues in general. 

Some of those top-end boards were out of the races for me based on feature gaps, such as all the 2-DIMM ones (although such boards are not unreasonable for most people, given the current performance penalty involved in using 4 DDR5 sticks).

Hey everyone the Supercool GEN13 direct die blocks are in-stock!!! Only 10 or 11 of them left. I ordered mine earlier today!! 
 

Such a rare and amazing product!

Agreed. I ordered one of these over 4 years ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DZC36GY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

along with: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072KYK2DR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

It has paid for itself over and over again and gives you a freedom to try certain things with the ability to recover.

If price was no object, this would be a clear pick. $800? Yikes.... (Sounds ironic after picking up a Suprim X 4090...I know).

I picked up a pair of G.Skill DDR5 7600 sticks (and a 3070 KO) from a local(ish) member on the ocn forums for a really good price. Met up with him Thursday for pickup. I'm starting the slow transition. I have a set of 6400 M-die sticks also primed and ready for a potential 7800X3D build out. I just want to keep the total cost of the DDR5+MB under 500. All I need to do is wait and snipe an Edge Z790i for $300 or less to meet that price point.

 

I know my 12900k will tank way before the motherboard and memory ever will. I'll have to either accept it as is or fight the urge to start binning some 13900k/f/s chips for 7600+ IMCs.

 

The news the newest BIOS for the Unify-X is giving @tps3443 8000 speeds is promising (and maybe lessens his hunger for a Tachyon and Apex?).

Was trying to tune some settings in the BIOS and I bricked it. I'm holding FN+D before I turn it on and nothing. Is my memory incorrect or did I really mess something up. I'm pretty sure that you can hold FN+D on the Prema BIOS to clear the CMOS.

FN+D to clear or good old remove CMOS battery and battery and hold power for 30-40 seconds is next. Also try resetting and booting with one module.

Removing the CMOS battery worked. Something about @Mr. Fox BIOS settings doesn't bode well with my P870TM. I understand his guide was for the P870DM3, but it just doesn't like it. I don't do the memory tuning or uncore like he did because I'm not trying to OC my terrible RAM right now. Maybe something with the static voltage for the CPU? I understand what most of the settings do besides the IMON offset, maybe it could be that.

I just tried a second time without adjusting as many settings and it still bricked. I hope I don't goof anything up hard enough to render a CMOS reset useless.

 

Edit:
Out of all things, the BIOS bricks itself whenever I adjust the cache settings or when I switch from Adaptive to Override voltage for the CPU (It's either one or the other or both). I will look more into it tomorrow as I am going to go out with some friends and am running short on time.
