I recently updated HWinfo and noted they had a PCIE error counter function.

To my dismay, I noticed I was rapidly building up several hundred PCIE errors over the course of casual gaming. However I read that anything that's in the recovery phase and nothing else is "fine." Don't know how true that is, so I remain neutral to the idea.

What did catch my eye is that I had over the course of playing GW2 for several hours, 14 or so "Bad TLP count." Intrigued, I turned off my undervolt/OC on my GPU and gave it some stress tests - recovery counts increased slowly but only when initially loading an OCCT stress test, by 1-2 at a time, and only when loading and unloading from the test. Transient power tests did not incur errors.

Then I went to cyberpunk and my Bad TLP counts shot up from 14 to 144 with several benchmarks (3-4).

The Bad TLP Count increased when loading into the benchmark and for a couple seconds after concluding the benchmark. They also increased when booting the game and exiting the game. It appears I have bad TLP issues when loading and unloading assets.

EDIT: I've noticed for games that load assets during menus (cyberpunk) there is always a LAG and delay. Just by scrolling through my Stash in cyberpunk I can dramatically increase my TLP count just by dragging up and down through it.

I am unsure for the reason behind this but I have no idea how significant these errors are. Nevertheless it is a concern. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this, explain what I'm even looking at, or if they're even remotely significant? Google has been very fruitless in explaining what it is and how exactly they occur and the significance of these issues.

My OCCT stress tests have shown no errors for multiple tests of my GPU OC and UV. Thus far my experience with games has been almost completely problem free.

Rigi s 7800x3d + Team Create expert CL30 6000 RAM Expo + buildzoids easy subtimings (tested stable) + 4070 Ti Super Ventus 2x OC (model).

Loading into cyberpunk with minimal power limit (30 or 35%) immediately made my bad TLP count jump up by 8. Loading into the benchmark jumped it up by 4. Again, I get no errors when gaming, just during load scenarios.

So I have two rams available for purchase at 6000 MT/s 32gb (2x16) , a Trident Z5 Neo F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR with EXPO @ 1.35V CL30-38-38-96 and a Kingbank KFXB with EXPO@ 1.45v CL28-35-35-76.

The Kingbank is 10 USD more expensive and has no RGB. I have only recently gotten into RAM overclocking and will be my first overclock. Both are Hynix A die from what I’ve found so far.

I would like to have RGB but I’m wondering if I could get an easy overclock to cl28 on the trident and whether the difference would be noticeable in worst case scenarios and 1% lows while gaming.

CPU is 9800X3D

Hello everybody. Absolutely loving the performance and cooling of my sapphire nitro 9070 XT. I have it paired with a 9800 X 3-D. Everything is running great except I will get these random black screens with any game. I play that last about 10 to 30 seconds. They seem to come at random and it doesn’t matter what game I play. I turned all of my settings back to stock as well to see if it would continue to happen and it did. Pretty much have troubleshooting everything I know how to do. I am running this on a Asus rig swift with display port 2.1. Any advice is very very appreciated!

Hey Lurkers & Posters!

I've recently run into an issue with XMP on my build after upgrading my RAM.

I'll get stuck on the DRAM light and Post into Safe BIOS mode. Sometimes, a restart will let me into Windows and be stable; sometimes, it just boots into a loop, BSODs with a kernel security error...

I've done a Memtest, and moved sticks around, I'm currently running with XMP disabled at 4800

Anyone know some timings and voltage settings that could help, or even why this is happening?

In BIOS, it loves to default to XMP 6800 Profile - Latest BIOS already installed. I've tried popping it onto to 6600 Profile, it boots and next boot we will have the same issue.

Build Deets:

Core i7 14-700F

ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming WIfi

64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 2X32GB (on the box: 6600MT/s, 1.40volts, 32-39-39-76)

GPU irrelevant ;)

Cheers guys!

I’m relatively new to overlocking and have only done a very mild tune on my old 1080ti. I have since bought an Asus TUF 3080ti, and paired it with a 5800x3d with 32 GB of Corsair 3200mhz ram.

I’ve noticed a bit more of a drop in performance than I’m okay with in recent games, but the usual “I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg in this shit market” speech and all that.

Bottom line question is how much performance can I realistically expect to get out of overclocking this rig as a beginner? Should I even bother considering it’s slightly older, heavily used hardware? If so, what’s the order of priority when over clocking and what are the best resources for me to use and follow while over clocking to make sure I don’t blow up my computer?

Silly question, but I'm confused about RAM for productivity. Low-ish temperatures and performance for things like a DAW, Resolve and Lightroom are key.

Option 1: Kingston Fury 5600mhz 1.25v CL 36

Option 2: Corsair Vengeance 6400mhz 1.35v CL 42

I've been told the following:

  • Lower voltage and lower CL means better quality RAM that is easy to overclock without temperature or other issues, even if only 5600
  • It's easier to tighten the timing of 6400 and drop it down to 6000 than it is to overclock 5600 if you're not a tinkerer
  • 6400 will perform better than 5600 even though 5600 has marginally lower latency
  • The lower CL of 5600 is actually more important

So...which is it? And why?

Is it worth it to let is auto OC my memory and cpu or let my MSI mother board do it with its bios? Im rocking 64gb memory, and 5700ti

Hey guys. I'm starting to get involved in the overclocking of my PC using Hydra 1.9F. First thing I have tried is to do a diagnostic of my DRAM (Corsair Vengeance 2x48gb 6000MT/s 30-36-36-76) and the output from Hydra is the following:

MT/s 6000 FCLK 2000 PDM OFF GDM ON-1T

Nitro RX Data 1 Nitro TX Data 2 Nitro Control Line 0

SOC VDDCR 1225 DRAM VDD 1360 DRAM VDDQ 1320 MC VDDIO 1150 CLDO VDDP 1048

CL 32 REFI 11677

RCD 38 RDRDSCL 6

RP 38 WRWRSCL 19

RAS 64 RTP 18

RC 102 RDWR 18

RFC 640 WRRD 6

RRDS 8 RDRDSC 1

RRDL 15 RDRDSD 11

FAW 32 RDRDDD 11

WTRS 8 WRWRSC 1

WTRL 30 WRWRSD 10

WR 78 WRWRDD 10

ProcODT PU Hi-Z ProcODT PD Hi-Z CAD AddrDs 30.0 DramDqDs PU 34.0 DramDqDs PD 34.0

RttNomWr Off RttNomRd Off RttWr RZQ/6 RttPark RZQ/5 RttParkDqs RZQ/6

I dont have virtually any experience using Hydra and I wanted to know if I should input these values manually in the BIOS. After the analysis I rebooted the PC and entered the BIOS and nothing is changed there although when I open Hydra en check for the DRAM values that the software reports these are equal to the ones listed above. So I'm in doubt if these values were applied by the software or not at this point.

Thank you for your help!

For my i5 14600k which wants to pull more than the 181w power limit stock and when overclocked pulls over 250 under stress test load. My GPU is 5060 ti 16gb which pulls 180-200 under load.

Hello everyone! After updating to latest driver my GPU ASUS RTX 4070 Super TUF Gaming OC (2 BIOS performance/quiet modes) stopped boosting over 2.715mhz. Before the update, it was 2.860mhz maximum. I testing in the same games, in the same GPU modes. Why did this happen all of a sudden and how do I get it back? There were no changes in the PC/Windows except for updating the video driver. I did not do overclocking and did not use any programs. GPU in default. Plz help. I tried rolling back to the previous version of the driver, I tried the asus gpu tweak 3, it didn't help. Initially, the video card was in the old assembly, where it produced a boost of 2860 mhz without any problems. Later, I installed it in a new PC, where everything was fine, but after several updates, it started working at 2715 mhz maximum. My spec: 7500f + aorus b650m elite ax ice + montech 750w gold. Chipset driver latest, bios motherboard latest.Oh yes, the graphics card is not temperature sensitive, Oh, yes, the video card does not trott in terms of temperatures, the maximum temperature is 61-62°C. Consumption is also normal, as usual. Sorry for the bad English

I am currently in the process of tuning in my undervolt/overclock for my Asrock Creator 7900xt and wanted to share my data points in case anybody else is trying to do the same. The GPU was stable during the listed benchmark runs below.

I think there may be something up with my temps as there is sometimes over a 30 degree differential between the average gpu temp and the hotspot temp. Id consider reolacing the thermal pads and repasting if there were any guides whatsoever about my gpu specifically. Its a blower-style card.

Cyberpunk Benchmark (Mostly High Settings @ 1440P)

Idle Temps GPU Temp: 40 Hot Spot Temp: 53

Default Settings GPU Temp: 61 Hot Spot Temp: 88 164 FPS

Custom (3100 Max Frequency, 1025 mv, No TBP adjust) GPU Temp: 60 Hot Spot Temp: 85 172 FPS

Custom (3100 Max Frequency, 1025 mv, Max TBP Adjust) GPU Temp: 57 Hot Spot Temp: 94 173 FPS

Custom (3100 Max Frequency, 1025 mv, Max TBP Adjust, VRAM MAX Frequency 2525) GPU Temp: 58 Hot Spot Temp: 95. 174 FPS Custom (3100 Max Frequency, 1025 mv, No TBP Adjust, VRAM MAX Frequency 2500) GPU Temp: 54 Hot Spot Temp: 79 FPS 171.79

Hello,

I am currently experimenting with overclocking some Samsung B-Die DDR4.

Currently running at 3800 MHz using 16-16-16-32 gear 1 timings with extensive tweaking of the sub-timing.

Using Intel MLC I'm getting bandwidth scores around 58,00-60,000 MB/s and latency of around 45-50 ns, For DDR4 is this decent or should I be looking to tighten further?

Thanks in advance!

I recently got a msi b650 s wifi board for my 7500f. The problem I have is that the vsoc seems to be on 1.308 when I enable expo which seems very high comparatively to my Asrock board which has vsoc set to 1.2 with expo on default cl30 6000 ram. I am confused so I set soc to 1.185v by manual overriding. Is this normal behavior or faulty bios or smth? I used 2 bioses and get the same result which is weird. Now I am using my system with manual soc voltage set to 1.185 but the cpu nb/soc is spiking to 1.2. Mem vpp is set to 1.85 on auto which is higher than 1.8 spec
