    Road to reach 3600MHz:
    Translate your 3200MHz timings to 3600MHz after you found tight ones. BUT also add +1 to tCL and adjust the other timings correspondingly for a safety margin.
    Use CAD drive strength 40-24-24-24
    Worked for Samsung B-die and Hynix CJR

      Yeah, will take some more time. Want to analyze different CPU options for the Apex15 first :) I plan to talk about possible noise dampening solutions, too.
      Do you have any wishes what I can investigate concerning noise? Name your ideas and I will consider to take them in :)

    • @arinocal
      @arinocal 4 роки тому +1

      @@TechModLab It would be very useful to see how the noise changes in relation to different fan profiles and undervolting choices. Since you got your hands on all the CPUs now, maybe the optimal settings for each of them in your opinion can be given, as a reference for potential customers and even for XMG itself to consider for later updates.

    After 3 month of stability testing, I like to share my experiences here.
    You might be able to pass all the stress test with low soc like 1.0v and thinking that your system is stable. However, you might need to check your event viewer and take a look that either you are constantly getting WHEA logger warning or not.
    I could pass all the stress test(p95, hci, occt, karhu and tm5) with 1800mhz fclk with 3600mhz ram at 1.0v soc. However I was getting WHEA logger warnings every few days/hours. I ignored it last time since my computer didn't crash and just running smooth. Few weeks later and boom! my computer ran into BSOD randomly. After seeking info from internet I was told that my fclk is not stable and what I have to do is to rise my soc voltage. I tried to rise my soc voltage from 1.0 to 1.025v and 1.05v but I was still getting those WHEA logger warning. Finally, those warning stop appearing after setting my soc voltage to 1.075v.
    In conclusion, check your event viewer if you are running fclk 1800mhz with low soc voltage like 1.0/1.025v since instability of fclk seems to be undetectable from those stress tests and it will take a long time to show you the sign of instability just like what happened in my case (crashed after 2+ weeks of testing).

    • @TechModLab
      @TechModLab  3 роки тому +1

      Nice :) thanks for the very helpful info! Another observation I made is that you should also alter the Vddg voltage to be at least 50mV, better 60mV less than VSoC. Vddg is generated from VSoC and when Vddg is targeted to be too close to VSoC the system can be unstable. I fortunately came across that info in some memory OC posts. Definitely helpful to find stable memory settings.

    Großartig!
    Jetzt kann ich mal mit dem Raten aufhören und die Sache systematisch angehen.
    Die Regeln sind klasse erklärt! Da muss ich morgen gleich mal wieder ran an die Dies. Mal gucken, ob ich mal versuche auf 3600 MHz zu kommen.
    Nach meiner Tunerei habe ich den Rechner mal komplett abkühlen lassen. CB lag fast bei 7500 Punkten. Mit Standard PPT 88w. Hat er durchgehalten.
    Welchen Benchmark hast Du für die fps genommen? Gibt’s den so, oder muss man den kaufen?
    Danke für die Klasse Arbeit! 👍🏻

    • @TechModLab
      @TechModLab  4 роки тому

      du meinst bei SOTTR? Garkeinen. Das ist aber ganz einfach :) Der Benchmark gibt dir die berechneten Frames aus (links neben den FPS Werten) und der Benchmark läuft genau 157 Sekunden. Teilt man die Frames durch die 157s bekommt man Gleitkomma-FPS. Macht der originale ja leider nicht!

    Hallo Du!
    Lies mir ja keine Ruhe, daher habe ich die Samsungs double-rank JEDEC 3200 mit 22-22-22-22-20 und 52-74 mit TRFC 560 auf folgende Profile bekommen (Dank Deines MEGA-Leitfadens!):
    3200 MHz: 16-17-17-17-14 mit 33-53 und TRFC 467 (!)
    3600 MHz: 18-19-19-19-16 mit 40-63 und TRFC 529 (!)
    Also dass die Smasunf D-Dies oben raus schlecht werden, kann ich nciht finden. Bin besonders auch von den TRFC-Werten beeindruckt.
    Herzlichen Dank Dir! Jetzt muss ich noch benchmarken. ;-)
    Viele Grüße!

      3DAndStuff, mache ich. Bei der 3200er musste zB auf. 56-36 zurück. Also genau gem. Faustformel.
      Der 3600-Modus frisst 5W Leistung mehr ggü. 3200. Entsprechend dürften auch die Module wärmer werden.
      Im CB20 scheint der 3200er sogar etwas mehr zu bringen als 3600. Da kommt es ja auf jedes Watt Rechenleistung an.
      Die FPS Unterschiede im Gaming dürften auch nicht mehr so hoch sein. Insofern bin ich sehr am Überlegen, ob ich das Apex nicht in dem stabileren 3200er laufen lasse. Die Timings sind ja für einen Laptop DDR4 ganz ordentlich.

    Did you experience any downsides from the overclocked memory?
    Did you run memory tests over a longer period e.g. over night to see if you have any fails?
    I was just wondering if running my Corsair Vengeance 2666 18-19-19 at 3200 17-18-17 could damage it in the long run, the entire system should not have issues imo since it can use the 3200MHz

  • @XxLukexX

    Shame there's no voltage adjustment for DRAM yet, it'd be fantastic be able to push 1.45V-1.5V on Samsung B-die SODIMM modules and possibly hit 3800 at reasonable timings to push 1900IF which would max out the potential

    • @TechModLab
      @TechModLab  4 роки тому +2

      True! But I think 1.35V should be the limit. Don't get me wrong, I like the performance hit which would be possible, but at 1.2V (it's 1.25V in fact, measured yesterday) the memory modules already hit 70°C easily. The memory sticks are naked, they have no heatsink and there is no real space for a heatsink. And the ventilation is quite bad. For more than 1.35V you even need ventilation in desktop computers, and desktop DIMMs got heatsinks.

    • @XxLukexX
      @XxLukexX 4 роки тому +2

      That is true and understandable, would be nice either way to have more voltage to play with to push the system to the limits though, I ordered myself a 3600 + 2070 max-p apex 15 lately, can't wait to play with it.

    Nice video! I've been struggling on what RAM to order for the Core 17. Since it uses the 4800H chip, Ryzen Master is a no go and I'm afraid I'll brick my system if I try to tune my memory. I'll probably go with a 2666MHz 18-19-19 rather than a 3200 MHz 22-22-22 and hope for the better.

    • @TechModLab
      @TechModLab  4 роки тому

      3200 22-22-22 is faster than 2666 18-19-19 because of the infinity fabric clock advantage. Go for 3200 CL22 :) What do you mean with the RyzenMaster part? Is it a lot different on the H processors? As long as you can reset your BIOS easily you are fine. Maybe ask XMG support if it's safe in their experience.

      @@cyrusgabriel6838 Little update: newest BIOS 1.07.07 and EC firmware 1.07.04 made the noise levels way better. But only in "Entertainment" mode. Performance mode is made to be maxed out and so is the noise.
      If you are a gamer, stick with 3600 and 3700X. The 3950X uses around 15W more package power all the time and is getting way hotter, even in idle. If you are a creator, then yes, go for it, BUT make sure you are not concerned about loud fans, even for normal desktop workloads. The only way to calm down the 3950X is Manual OC. Got good results with 3.2GHz at 0.875V.
      3600, 3700X: noise and thermals are good
      3950X: noticeable louder fans, thermals can get into the 90°C+ when CPU and GPU is loaded.
      Followup CPU comparison / buyers guide is following next. Hope I can get it done in less than 2 weeks. Test will contain 3600, 3700X, 3800X, 3900, 3900X, 3950X.

      Found some issues myself. I am in talk with XMG at the moment about what's going on. For me it's as follow:
      3600: high frequencies (3600MHz+) and tight timings easily possible.
      3700X/3800X: high frequencies (3600MHz) and tight timings possible. Bit looser timings.
      3950X: impossible to get 2666 CL19 or 3200MHz CL22 stable. 2400MHz CL17 runs fine.
      Maybe I got a faulty 3950X to test. Wait for the following video and results. Will test 3900(X) too.
