so mines like the best... by far? or am i just an idiot i dont knkw about this stuff lol

So I have got a Very Good 9070xt OC sample

Steel nomad:

- 8030 max (-110mv, 2782mhz fast, +10%=363w, not game stable)

- 7930 (-75, 2782mhz fast, +10%=363w, all game stable!)

But I started to wonder how would it compare to other cards:

- 9070xt non-OC model (tested 6 of those) score 7350-7450 typically on game stable tune(304+10%=334w)

• changed my game stable tune to

330-17%=274w and it scored 7405!

So my OC model sample needs 60w less power to get same 74 fps as base model (best part gaming Oc sells at same MRSP price as base model cards)

Insane!

(Now let’s say I got Gold Sample and typical 9070xt Oc model would only be 5% above base close 7350-7450, so would be 7700-7800 on stable tune. we can estimate and I had 1 out of 6 tested base model cards score 7530 on stable tune)

- so gold sample OC model to Good sample base model:

• my card needed 330-12%=290w to get same 7525 score! (So 44w less than even best base model 9070xt!!!)

——-/ conclusion /——-

- so delta between typical and gold sample 5% fps

- so delta between base model typical and OC model typical 5% fps

- however typical OC models need 12% less power to get typical base model score! (Or -17% if you got oc model gold sample)🤯🤯

1. What power setting / consumption 5070ti / Oc model needs to get same 7400 and 7530 score ?

2. How about 5080 ?

Set my 5090 to 2825 mhz with 890mV, testes in stress test which went very well, then played cyberpunk for around 2h which also didn't cause any problems. Finally played some world of tanks and my game crushed about 10 min of playing ? Can someone explain this to me?

I maximised my i7 6700k overclock on the Z170 Prime before my Z270 Apex arrives and i delid the cpu to replace the standard TIM with TG Conductonaut Extreme, it performs quite well and beats the current best score on occt benchmarks at 4.86ghz

hi! i was trying to overklock my ram, but the bios shows me that error message. Is there any way to bypass that?

cpu-9800x3d

motherboard-x870e aorus elite

ram-64g 6000mhz cl30 hynix a die

im not trying to oc anything currently well i just want to make sure nothing is getting deep fried or is lower then what the optimal for stability

both of my vddg were 0.900 which from my understanding is lower then min 0.950

vsoc is supposed to be 1.250?

any help would be nice

I'm primarily on Linux, so excuse the lack of timings screenshot, I'll add one if this frustrates me enough to set up Windows to stabilize the OC. Tertiaries omitted in photos, as they're all Auto.

First of all, let me preface this by saying I got the 270K because I wanted decent gaming performance but my 7800X3D wasn't doing it for the work I do on the same machine, so I'm hoping to get a solid middle ground.

Unfortunately, my 6000 16 Gbit M-Die kit (32-38-38-96) really doesn't like anything above 6000, even with loose timings, so I figured I'd focus on sub timings instead. I didn't have a lot of hope, because D2D took 1.35V to get stable at 32 multiplier - so my chip may be a dud either way.

What I noticed is that any tertiaries will basically lead to no POST and the only way to recover isn't even setting timings back to Auto, but loading a pre-existing profile that I know is stable, even if the only change has been 1-2 tertiary timings.

From what I remember RDRD_sg and WRWR_sg on DDR5 should pretty much always be 8, with *_dg between 12 and 16. None of that works. Sometimes even setting the same timings as the BIOS is showing for the auto setting seems to no POST right after (I did this purely out of desperation).

In general, it's been really weirdly unstable/inconsistent. I haven't even touched the cores at all, one because I'm on air, but also because the second I've even attempted to change LLC or power limits, it would no POST again.

And to be clear, I am not at the edge of stability here. Loading the stable profile and stress testing Prime95 or OCCT (memory, mixed) for hours isn't a problem.

Has anyone else experienced any of this? Is there some weird BIOS setting I'm missing? I haven't done much OCing on Intel since Coffee Lake, besides some quick and dirty Alder Lake ones.

The picture is of my Zotac Solid Core OC 5080 2975mhz at .975v +3000 mem 105% power usage (380w). It pulls about 360w with this undervolt and gets this score.

One thing that is strange is that if I didn’t apply an undervolt and just let it run free with a +285 core clock applied with the same mem and power settings listed above, it will only score 9500 with a 3030mhz at 1.01-1.02v. It refuses to go out to its max of 1.05v, however it will hit that in games with a core of 3175mhz at 1.04-1.05v.

In comparison, my Astral OC 5080 scored 9952 with no undervolt, +3000 mem, 112% power (450w). 3270mhz at 1.07v.

My question here is, how can my Zotac at a much lower core clock score almost as good as my Astral with a much higher clock?

My second question is undervolting my Zotac barely lowers its power consumption and when running Steel Nomad, it’s using its full 360w at 3075mhz and 1.015v. Why is it hitting its power limit so early when bench marking?

I had another Zotac solid core oc 5080 that I had traded in for the Astral. That card would only use 260w of power with a 3105 at .975v and would score a 9200 in steel nomad.

TLDR: Zotac Solid Core OC 5080 scores higher in benchmark than exact same model that could get a higher core clock. Also scores almost as high as 5080 astral that has a much much higher core clock. Looking for someone who good knowledge of overclocking and GPU binning to explain my findings.

Following many requests to prove long-term stability, I’ve completed a 9-hour overnight run of y-cruncher VT3. To be 100% sure of the results, I’ve been dailying this config for a while now with zero issues, crashes, or WHEA errors.

271 iterations later, I think it's safe to say this 8000MT/s setup is rock solid. No GDM, tight timings, and full stability. I also completed a 3-hour run of TM5 1usmus v3 without a single error.

I’m planning to run several more tests, including an 8-hour TM5 session, as soon as I can leave the PC long enough. Cheers to everyone who pushed me to do a proper stress test!
