MY build and all the benchmark numbers

5650 +200 is 5850.. you mean go higher than that? You would have to use eclk settings for bclk tuning.. I think. I haven't done that with the CPU yet.
 
5825/5850MHz is the highest you will see on our cpu's without alternative cooling and if you did manage more it would probably not be anything you could/would want to use as a daily driver. If you are chasing benchmark scores it's the details that matter. I have no clue of the tweaks needed for these benchmarks...thinking memory timing may have some influence. Getting ready to reinstall my OS and get my games loaded properly.
 
Ive been at it for hours today and im taking a break.
In the screen shot you can see my last 4 runs and im getting there, I adjusted the curve optimizer a bit and gave up on the FSB as it just knocked my speeds down.
Im at 5700Mhz-5800Mhz. Next ill work on my ram as at one point i had it undervolted and tighter timings with no issue.
And yes if i pushed further id definetly need better cooling as my AIO is barely keeping 95C at bay.

This is pretty much where I am at with mine. Its pretty much just EXPO.. nothing fancy.

Is that the same aida64 that has the software for mini case monitors?
I just hit my highest score in Cinebench but still a 100 points behind you guys.
i need to watch some videos on ram tweaking as mine isnt budging, It will run at 1.35v versus the stock 1.4v and i know its gonna be hard but i just want 6600Mhz Cl32 1:1 not a big boost but i should be able to hit it.

700-900 behind me, that wasnt my best MC score, not sure what is going on there.. other than this win install has seen quite a few blue screams, it is original to my AM5 build..

And yes

Also, 1.4v is pretty tame.. get some air over it and go to 1.6 if it will let you.

Its 1.435V max
and i do have a 60mm fan sitting on them. They never get past 32C and if they do ill buy copper heat spreaders to replace the thin aluminum. I keep a clone of my Windows drive from earlier thats never seen a BSOD.
I think im done pushing the CPU as any hotter ill need a better AIO, Mine has push/pull on a 3600mm rad now.
Ill be working on lowering my timings a bit as 6600 !:! is gonna take some luck, But i did it yesterday.
 
My memory isnt budging no matter how much juice i give it, So im just gonna stick with undervolting it too 1.35v and it runs very stable there.
I want to look for a new AIO, Im pushing 260W and im hanging in the low 90's one every benchmark. Granted thats a worst case scenario but id feel better hanging in the low 80's when benchmarking. Im done OC'ing for the day as ive been at it since 7am and id rather just enjoy using it instead of working on it the rest of the day.

If anyone knows of a good AIO that can handle 350+ watts point me at it, Preferably at $125 or less.
 
Ive seen AIO's that are listed of handling 350W, with a better pump and a thicker rad it should be better. But you know your parts better than i do.
This one has a better pump and 38mm rad, But if you say keep what i got i will.
arctic aio cooler 360mm black

Also in this test at 260W the 360AIO stayed in the 70c range and never hit 80C

That's a different chip, test, etc. But I understand what you're trying to say.

I'm sure that arctic 360 will be a couple of C better... but that ID cooling is already a solid performer, and you have push/pull already. The problem isn't in the lack of radiator. Don't expect miracles with an AIO upgrade is all I'm saying.

Gotcha, But the point being the cpu in the test was putting out 260W which is my max and being able to stay in the 70's on a stress test OCC i think it was is very impressive.
Money is tight anyhow so to buy something it better blow me away.
Now where do they keep those delidding devices? lol
 
Nothing to worry about, not once have I ever been concerned about temps. I run things that people say are a power virus, and that is pretty much how I set up my cooling to run lol. Even with my 5900X 260w all day long no problem. They try to hit 90, these trying to hit 95 is not a big deal at all. It is just a bigger number than what you are used to seeing. These are not old Intel chips my tech brotha.
 
Elco your a Witch Dockter, I think you have super wicked spells on your build and Freeagent aint far behind.
My main concern is if i push my CPU further i have no headroom to go up in temps. My AIO was $50 and was bought before my CPU and i didnt know id need something stronger. I feel my pump isnt pushing enough H20 and also restricted with small lines.

Ill make you huys a deal, Ill buy some better thermal compound and remount my block.
I know thermal Grizzley is about the best but which version? also what else is the next few top pastes or those Graphene thermal pads?
I currently have Noctua H2 on it but it was the first block ive mounted in 20 years so i did it a bit different.
I do have a thermal right cpu holder on it also.
 
Just use whatever paste you have...not enough difference between them to even give a thought. Thermal pads are great for hard lined loops like I build because you can set it and forget it. They are not as good as a thermal paste, but they never require replacing...last forever and never degrade.

I have money burning a hole in my pocket and nobody will let me spend it!
Which Thermal Grizzly is the best her makes?
a few C reduction is worth it to me.

Edit: Dang my current paste outperforms Thermal grizzly.

I use SYY-157. My Thermalright 360 was 85 beaver bucks when I bought it. I put my own fans on, it came with 3, but I have 6 on it. I did try higher performance T30s, but the noise was not worth it. The pitch at ~2500- 3000rpm messes with my tinnitus (n)

The best TIM I used was Thermalright TFX, SYY-157 is second. I am using the Thermalright Heilos pad on my 4070Ti, works well I think.
 
Ill keep those in mind if i think the Noctua H2 doesnt meet my expectations with the bare core.
Im doing push/pull om my AIO also, but its only loud at 100% but thats set to happen at 65C
