32M is a blast on rocket lake! Thought we could compile some tips to get everyone started. Feel free to add yours and I will quote you in the OP
Gear 1 Mode necessary duh
TRAS no longer limited to 28 go as low as you can. 16-17 should be ok to 4k mhz
You need blast the SA voltage 1.55-1.65 all day VCCIO_M on the other hand doesn't need Z490 levels 1.35/1.45 has not limited in any way.
wazza doesnt help much, maybe 1 second.
unlike other gens you can pretty much just torque each timing as low as it will go and see a benefit
RTL you can try Relaxing channel A and running them at the same timings IE 53/53 54/54 has netted some solid scores
BCLK is king, run as high a bclk as you can. It will allow you to lower the multiplier of the CPU to a level that you can run at exactly 5005 for the entire run
Binning for Gear 1 is a thing. The same setup I have cpus that wont boot 3900 and ones that run 4060 on air.
a0 might be better than a2 dimms. I wouldnt call this a fact yet but it seems to be leaning this way.
IMC needs cold to max out (obvious)
take advantage of training lower and raising bclk in OS (usually 2-3bclk is fine)
leaving cache freq very low on training may help (needs more science)
Certain microcode version may be more efficient (needs more science)
per core OC needed for highest clock. Try to change only core 02 as high as it will go. usually gains 50-100mhz depending on the cpu. Also makes it fail less after the bench completes and or when opening cpuz. Right click CPUz to select the high core.
