Some Goon posted:Aren't the voltage settings for XMP baked into the module along with the timings anyways? The voltages for the memory stick itself are. The memory has no idea what VSOC or VCCSA/VCCIO the chip would need to run in order for the memory controller on the CPU to be stable (and in fact that varies between samples, between generations, between motherboards, and different brands of chips have different settings entirely that need to be tweaked). All of the memory-controller-side stuff is delegated to the motherboard itself to decide what it needs to do, and a lot of them prefer "just do what it takes to make it work with one click" vs an option that might be safer but not work 20% of the time. Because then they're bothering the support team, or returning the board and getting one from their competitor, who did do that, and telling their friends "Asrock sucks, XMP didn't work right but on MSI it just came right up". Especially on the faster stuff. Like obviously you don't need 1.4V VSOC/VCCSA to run 3000 or 3200 but at 3866 or 4000+ yeah motherboards can get more aggressive about it. Source: Buildzoid video previously linked, but really it should be evident to anyone after a modicum of thought that a memory controller rated to run at 2933 isn't going to run 3866 without some additional voltage being quietly applied behind the scenes.

I didn't really have any problems with 3200 or 3400 on the 3900x and it just wouldn't post if I went higher. It's some old pre-Tridentz Neo b-die that cost way too much when I bought it. For as much hassle as it is, I'm wondering why I don't just return the 5950x and downgrade to the 5800x. At that point I might just relegate the machine to whatever few PC games I'd ever play because the Mac I have is more easily meeting some of my work related needs right now and I don't feel like using Linux full time. Either way, it's stupid to me that this is still somehow a problem.

I lucked into a 5800x on AMD.com last week. I'm coming from a decade on Intel and have little knowledge about overclocking on modern AMD platforms. I'll be using a B550-F with gskill 3600 CL16 b-die. Is there a preferred overall guide to this anywhere? Search results are a little overwhelming. What role does Ryzen Master play? Basically what do I do if I want to get some "free" >stock CPU performance and not have to spend a lot of time tweaking? (My level of overclocking on Intel was setting XMP, vcore offset, and changing the core multiplier if that gives you an idea of my laziness.) I'm willing to set memory timings manually to avoid stability/longevity issues, but what specific values have to be set to more safely match what XMP would do? Thanks for any info

If you have a board that has a large vdroop, sure (I think Asrock has some of the worst). For 5000 series if you really want to get into tweaking. Set PBO to advanced. Set the boost to 200MHz, set curve optimizer to all cores -5, or -10 and then forget about it.

There are a lot out there, and I've seen it from personal experience a ton. I will just reuse the one Paul posted earlier: https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3251-raven-ridge-soc-voltage-guidelines-how-to-kill-cpu-with-safe-voltage I just goofed with it on the board I'm running right now for example (an ASUS Intel board, but the issue is CPU vendor agnostic), and turning XMP on automatically dials in a bus CPU overclock, and turns on "BCLK aware voltage" settings, which ASUS is going to use to overvolt based on their own table. It also turns on MCE and about 30 other things that user may or may not actually want, and it may be doing some things not exposed to the user at all, like GN saw. Thats the problem. As for the voltages on this board, ASUS already runs all the rails a little hotter than I'm comfortable with, tbh. I didn't see the BCLK voltage setting hit the VCCIO/System Agent voltage on this particular board, but I know I absolutely have on some others I've played with. I want to say Giga and MSI were the worst offenders, but thats probably just a personal anecdote. They are all playing the game. As for whether thats gonna kill your CPU, well, I've certainly seen some auto-applied OCs in reviews and such with voltages that I sure as poo poo wouldn't run 24/7. I dunno if you can attribute the current drama about dying Zen/+ CPUs to that specifically in all cases, but I personally think there likely is some relation. The fact that nobody has been able / willing to design a multi-year test with a big enough CPU sample size to explicitly test this with gaming hardware is part of the reason they still do it. The Big Iron folks have played with all this, and there is a reason it isnt on the server products. So yeah, thats not to say I think people should run 2133mhz on their RAM. But I would manually set the speeds, or at least double check the voltages before you set and forget. Like I said, I personally haven't seen a BIOS that won't let me manually override the VCCIO/SOC/System Agent (however they want to label it), but if GN's tests are right, the board may be jacking voltages up regardless. Still worth setting to me, just not as easy.

Along the lines of what Cygni has actually experienced, I remember reading commentary about this related to ASUS boards as well, a few years ago. I can't recall if it was ASUS in particular, or if ASUS was just the example being used, but the poster was shocked to discover how much current was really blasting through his RAM. Some seemingly unrelated settings on the board had boosted RAM voltage with no clear indication it had been adjusted. And we're talking more than just a teeny-tiny bit of power nudging involved. Imagine a user "throwing a little extra juice just to be sure" on top of this, and you can see how a problem might develop without realizing it.

the gamernexus article is a lot more nuanced than describedquote:Over time, a degrading IMC may require more voltage to keep the same memory/GFX frequencies, or it might just lose that frequency altogether, forcing the user to downclock. Outright failure doesn’t happen at voltages close to reason, but will instead manifest over a period of months.

I've seen a ton of 5600 and 5800 in stock lately, but 5900/5950 are still impossible to find. Are they just not producing the high end parts? Is it related to binning? Or is there just that much demand?

https://www.mindfactory.de has good stock of 5900x in EU. You can buy it immediately for 669€. They had also some 5950x but it is not currently available. 5800X and 5600X are both available with 5900X.

Binning and the fact that they use 2 chiplets might be a factor somewhat but mostly huge demand, I see shipments come of 5950Xs and especially 5900Xs at my local Microcenter fairly frequently now and they never last long. The 5600X and 5800X have been in stock there continuously for over two weeks now.

A 5900 uses two 6-core CCDs, which could just as easily be made into two 5600s. Same relationship for 5950 and 5800.

my completely baseless guess is that most chiplets that are good enough to go on a 5900/5950 are also good enough to go onto an epyc, and epycs have bigger profit margins so they're trying to build a launch stock for that do we even have a release date for zen3 epyc yet

So I'm sure a fairly significant number of 5900X/5950X tier chiplets are going there.

I set my RAM to DOCP again yesterday and it seems that the machine must have hard rebooted again at some point overnight. I only really tried because I think I installed the chipset drivers from AMD's site rather than ASUS's in the interim before and wanted to see if anything happened. I don't really want to spend $200-250 on new RAM only to have it do the same thing since it could very well just be the CPU having issues. Are the 5800x chips having these problems? I don't remember reading much other than occasional AMD forum post talking about the 5600x instead.

I think a lot of people jumped on the 3600 and 3700X and probably don't see a Zen 3 with the same number of cores- even if the per-core performance is a bit better- as enough of an upgrade. Nobody's jumping from a 3600 to a 5600 but they might go 3600 -> 5900. E: quoted the wrong post FuturePastNow fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Feb 19, 2021 |

Yeah it's wild that despite the very attractive pricing of the 5900X that they're still getting all of these upsells to the 5950X from pure gamers. If you're AMD you might as well make a 24-core Zen 4 chip on AM5 for $1200+ and see how far you can push this trend lol.

I should ask the apps guys who deal with customers what they use for their servers, but for consumer some kind of FR-4 like that will probably be de rigueur. I was reading the AMD Rome/Milan design app notes and they are extremely vague when it comes to acceptable channel loss, it might be in a different document I didn't get a hold of. There is a real dearth of gen4 retimers still, I think Astera and Parade are about it. Gen5 is probably where they will become absolutely necessary!
