What kind of memory oc problems encountered with ucode removal? Would the ucode removal provide a small boost on other benchmarks such as cinebench or 3dmark?

Hi everyone. I got a kit of 3600C16 b-die from G.skill and I've read the OC guide here: https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/master/DDR4 OC Guide.md I was wondering whether or not I could improve these results any further? Crosshair 8 Hero WiFi f4-3600C16D-32gtzn G.skill TridentZ Neo 3600 16-16-16-36 (b-die) Mem settings: 1.39v, switching frequency and phase control maxed out in the bios CPU: 3950X Please advise, thanks in advance.

When a Zen 2 CPU is installed, there is a bios logic that hides the option to select/enable dual BLCK/eCLK async mode. We tried to unhide this with 7704 and 7306, the option is there but changing BLCK doesn't work. There's a deeper/more hidden code in the bios that we have yet to discover. Above discoveries made by user XX on r/ThinkPad discord

When installed with Zen 2 CPU (3900X) the C6 Hero has some sort of logic in the bios that hides/disables eCLK mode. This board had dual BLCK as the marketing push for an overclocking board.

Sorry for a very late reply, but I just RMA'd the cpu and got a better one with 1-2c temp difference.

Have anyone managed to get a C6 or C7 hero working with dual blck feature? Asus seems to have deleted the option to do this with the latest bios if you have Zen 2 cpu installed.

Ok. Which EK block did you use? 90 degrees right or left? If you see in the screenshot, CCD1 is around 10c lower. Which puts in in the 30-degree range. I heard that the XPX Aurora Pro is the best AM4 / TR4 block due to microfin size, but I'm not sure if that will fix the temp difference problem or fit on my motherboard. https://www.aquatuning.us/water-cooling/cpu-water-blocks/cpu-water-blocks/24776/alphacool-eisblock-xpx-aurora-pro-plexi-black-digital-rgb

Yes, there's no boxed cooler included with my CPU. Apogee SKF LT is supposed to be one of the most (if not the most) restrictive flow blocks on the market, but the pump seems strong on the Drive X3 kit. It says Max. Static Pressure 2.8 mH₂O Max. discharge 11 l/m I'm not sure if it's good or not. I'm thinking of just buying a highend waterblock like Optimus AM4 (https://optimuspc.com/products/foundation-cpu-block-amd?variant=31139815751763) and replacing the preinstalled one, but I don't know if it will fix the problem. Previously I was cooling around 240w (5820K 4.6/1.365v) and reached around 86-88c max (IHS is warped slightly), so it doesn't make sense why this cooler is struggling with a lower heat output (150-180w). Maybe the fins of the waterblock don't cover the CCD1? I can test Noctua NH D15 (with AM4 mounting kit) but I'm not sure if it will perform any better. I made sure that I did. I used the cooler previously with a 5820K. I also included pictures of the mounting spread of thermal paste.

The performance enhancer setting is turned off (auto).

Hi, I don't have hwmonitor installed. So only using HWinfo 64. The idle is lower but still have nasty temperature difference. 4GHz 1.3v will result in thermal throttling (95c). Idle temperatures picture (I have stuff open on the background)

Hi, I'm having quite the difficulty in trying to overclock my R9 3950x. I'm especially concerned in temperature difference between CCD1 and CDD2, because my difference between ccd1 and ccd2 is almost 15-20c. While the power draw is slightly different, between CCDs, I'm not exactly sure what's causing this issue to happen. I have a prefilled water cooler by Swiftech (Drive x3 360mm AIO cooler, Apogee SKF LT waterblock, 3x Gentle Typhoons). The cooler itself shouldn't have any problem handling small power draw of around 150w-170w. But the high temps of CCD1 limits my ability to set a manual OC. I'm not interested about clocks for now. I want to fix the temperature differences between chiplets.
