MY build and all the benchmark numbers

4800 was the best I could do

4800 was the best I could do

Sounds like the luck i would have. My best OC on my last set of ram was dropping the CL from 32 too 30.
Raising the Mhz just wouldnt stay stable.
I knew if i tried 4 dimms for 64GB it would clock slow as to why i went with 2x48GB sticks.

I said screw it im bored and went and put my OC back on.
Id like to push too 6000Mhz but ive borked enough installs lately.

 

[deathstar13]

I decided to work on my OC and make my goal of 6Ghz which i did.
Its run prime small TFT's for hours and you can see my temps are maxxed out.
I wish i could OC my ram a bit but i think its at its limits 1:1
This is all done with my 9070xt at stock and ill be starting on OC'ing that now.

My dead Crucial T500 4TB goes back to Amazon today and hopefully ill have a replacement soon. Anyone know a faster and better Gen4 NVMe?

 

[freeagent]

I like WD Black, test of time no problem, performance is good. Might be able to do better now as my drives are years old at this point.

 

[deathstar13]

I like WD products, Ill look into it and hopefully the speed is good too.
My Crucial T705 is a speed demon but alot of that speed gets wasted on random reads and writes but it still beats most drives.
But i need a Gen 4 4TB for games as i only have 1 Gen5 slot.

I was also looking at the Predator drives as they have DRam cache on them but i only see 2TB drives. I think that would be bad as i know me id try and Raid0 them.
Hopefully Amazon credits my account quickly as i dont want games on this 705 and just use it for windows and programs.

You say wasted, but that's exactly where you need the speed as most files are tiny and random (we talked about 4K r/w in one of your threads).

I'm in your same position here. I mentioned it before that I partition my fast OS drive. It's 1TB with, as of today, ~360GB carved out for the OS. This is a bloated OS for me, and is about 170GB total (so after over a year on this OS I have ~190GB free). The leaves ~570GB of PCIe 5.0 for games, while the rest sit in a 2TB PCIe 4.0 drive.




(I:\ is External NVMe-based storage)

Yes it does have better randoms speed wise and is very responsive, Its just not all that much faster than Gen4 on small randoms. I like it alot as my OS drive.
Thats a large SSD your using. My 705 is only 2TB but the T500 that just died is 4TB and it fills up fast with such large games.
Didnt you get on me saying i was wasting money with a Gen5 drive?
I remember back in the days when i started OC'ing that 360GB was a really big drive and most topped out at 1TB max on a drive.

Is it? You have bigger drives than me... I'm running 1TB and 2TB.

Didnt you get on me saying i was wasting money with a Gen5 drive?

ImI said you likely wouldn't notice the difference... and at the time, likely could have been spent on other things. Understand that half of the system I have is from reviews... most isn't my money (but time).

 

[deathstar13]

3TB is still alot, But it does help to partition things to separate them.
When i have all my drives im at 6.5TB as i have a 500GB NVMe i took out of my laptop when i upgraded it.
A Gen 5 drive does have a bit of zing to it, But you really have to pay attention to see it.
Got ya on the Gen5 being a waste, But at the time i had the money to splurge on what i wanted.
I figured you have alot of things you normally wouldn't buy from doing reviews. I actually tried my hand at testing and writing a review back in the day.
But my writing abilities just wasn't up to par.

What you say i get to replace my 4TB T500 drive? get another one or get the WD Black Gen4?

 

[deathstar13]

I found an OC that works for me. 6Ghz is now achieved!
Is a 500Mhz OC good on a 9900X? or just normal?
Ive been running stress tests for a few hours and will do so all day to make sure its 100% stable.

Try HWINFO64 instead of Monitor to see if they read the same.

 

[freeagent]

Lol that is why you are wiping out windows. BCLK tuning.

Refer back to post #121 lol...

 

[deathstar13]

I suspect you are trying to overclock your cpu using old school methods...not going to work out well. Counter intuitive, but those negative values will net you higher frequencies as well as cooler temps overall.

I just put a negative 25 on all cores in the curve optimizer i think its called.
Im not adjusting the FSB tho.
This is how OC videos showed me what to do.

EDIT: Ok im sure HWMonitor is bugged. no way i was hitting these speeds.

yes i see it but ive done nothing to increase the Bus, Its just bugged and you can see that looking at my last reported speeds.

 

[67Elco]

It does not vary for me...try DLing the latest version and see if it acts the same.

How the heck you score so high when we have the same clock speeds?

I uninstalled HWM and downloaded the latest version from CPUID Ill keep an eye on that clock as it shouldn't budge from 100Mhz

He now has a 9950X.
