Yea I saw a comment from a person that is testing for Asrock saying that the best build of Win11 is one that's in the pre-release channel. Makes me wonder what the review sites are using though for Thursday if there's a significant difference in performance.
No, it's soldered I think. der8aur talks about it in the link below. Thermal paste wouldn't require heating for delidding due to too much force on the die.
"The delidding will require heat this time. There is no way around it. Any direct force might damage the chip permanently. As you know...
Well Asus sent this guy an 8200 CUDIMM kit for testing and all he has are 4 dimm boards so we'll see I guess.

Well you're an Intel hater that has an axe to grind by actively encouraging everyone to RMA CPUs whether they are defective or not in an effort to punish Intel with no regard as to whether that's in the best interest of the CPU owners.
You just proved my point. You don't understand that statement. It's not saying the CPU will increase vMin automatically, they are talking about the required vMin voltage for stability. The only way the voltage will be increased is by the user changing it in the bios manually.
CPU's become...
This thread is totally crapped up by exactly 2 people. LOL Don't bother, they are people you can't reason with.
1) A CPU will never increase voltage to compensate for degradation. It has no ability to measure this. The notion that it does just shows a complete lack of understanding of how...
OMG, no they do not request more voltage for degradation. The CPU has no idea it has degraded. LOL
So it was working fine and you RMA'ed it anyway? Did you thoroughly stress test it with tests like yCruncher/OCCT/etc... to verify it was 100% stable at default settings? And if you did, why...
I doubt they have a way of determining if a CPU is damaged if it's still stable at defaults, any more than we can. The only way to know for sure is to set a baseline vMin when it's new like I did with my 14900k, then retest to see if vMin has increased or not over time. Even that's difficult...
I have to disagree with the other comment. If it's been stable this long, it's probably fine. They don't all degrade, only a subset of them. I ran a 13900k for a year without any degradation (I tested vMin occasionally, so 100% certain it did not). But I now have a 14900k that has degraded...
Yea it's a giant PITA to suddenly have apps/games crashing out of nowhere and then have to deal with an RMA.
And most/all boards completely wipe settings when flashed. Pretty much have to as it can lead to issues otherwise. Same reason why you never should load an old profile even if you can...
Yea but you know that 13700k result is wrong. It's even ahead of the 14700k and equal to the 14900k on the older bios.
Only really good thing he did in that video was this plot. I did think that was interesting.
It just depends on what you want. If you're just super excited to play a new game and willing to put up with it being less than optimal, nothing wrong with that. I've done both. Played games day 1 that were poorly optimized (but still enjoyed them) and I've also waited.
I'm mean, who really...
No, it wasn't even stable at 320w/400a. Had to go all the way down to 253w PL1/PL2 to get it to something at least close to stable. And then it was running at insane voltage. I saw 1.5v during gameplay part of the time. Couldn't undervolt it much at all either, even at 253w.
Reality is that...
Yea I have a 14900ks that has these stability issues at bios defaults. I RMA'ed it and am getting a refund from Intel as they do not have any replacements on hand right now.
But I've run a 12900k, 13900k, and 14900k without any issues though. Just the 14900ks that has issues.
DF also leaves out the fact that the worst of the stutter is on Koboh in the open map section with Pylon's etc... I saw very little stutter on the other planets or even some of the other quest areas on Koboh, there was some on Coruscant.
I thoroughly enjoyed the game despite it's issues. I do...
Made another run. This is basically a run to maximize graphics score just for fun and 3DMark HOF has a category for just the graphics score.
Anyway, this was using the Elmor EVC2 to bump core voltage to 1.15v resulting in 700-750w of power. (yep, that much) reBar forced and only 8 e cores...
It's likely related to this. I have 2 Win11 installs. One is my bloated up daily driver, the other is a bare bones install just for benching. The bench OS scores quite a bit higher (like maybe 500pts).
It all adds up. The two big gains I already mentioned, but there are quite a few other...
Memory and core both contribute in PR. Every bin (15mhz) is around 50-75pts. Memory is maybe 50pts for every +100, I can't remember the exact numbers when I tested. Something like that. Speedway OTOH is very heavily memory bottlenecked. Every bin on the core is only like 20pts.
Yes the...
There are a couple of tweaks that make big gains. One is the same as 30 series, which is to force reBar with Nvidia Profile Inspector. The other is to flash the Galax HOF bios. That bios holds significantly higher effective clocks than any of the other stock bios. Both of these tweaks are...
I'd probably take the working FTW3 and just buy a different waterblock for it. Not ideal, but I wouldn't want to give up the FTW3 for a XC3. Performance difference isn't very big as others have said, but I wouldn't want to downgrade like that.
EVGA's support is really poor at this point. I...
This is my best score so far. I'm a little disappointed the 2Gb mem chips actually become less stable at lower temps, so I'm struggling to see much improvement with my chiller. This run is just ambient water though.

That's definitely a dud. I've been game stable so far at an even 3Ghz. The highest I've been able to complete benchmarks is 3090 Mhz. Seems like most of them over on OCN are at least close to that. Some a little lower at 3045 or 3060 Mhz for benching. A small number that can go over 3100.
But he's using that technique that tanks effective clocks even on 30 series. It would be interesting to see how it behaves if you just flatten the curve at some point, but keep the original curve to the left like I showed a long time ago.
From video,
Alternate method...
I guess it depends on what you consider to be worthwhile.
This is my 3080ti with completely stock settings,

This is the same card, but running +150/+1200 core/mem and no power limit using the Galax 1kw bios.
https://www.3dmark.com/pr/1642345
So about...
From what I've seen (and my own card), +120 to +150 core is usually stable depending on the game. My card seems stable in everything at +135 core, +1200 mem. Metro EE is the most unstable and will eventually crash above +135 core of the games I play (CP2077, FS2020, Metro EE, RDR2, Half Life...
Seems like the jump from 20 to 30 series was larger than 30%. Just looking at the average fps between the 2080ti and 3090, it appears to be in the 40-50% range for 4k (I get 45% from the chart at the bottom for 4k).

I doubt we'll see miners grab a ton of additional cards. Mining profits are really low now. I've been mining with the cards I had on hand (didn't buy any specifically for mining), but shut it down due to the warmer weather. Net profits, after electricity when the A/C is working to remove the...
