The chat part was a bit of a joke, because I'm still a little bit "affected" as I was waiting for this board and it seems I would never be able to buy it. Not that there's much sense in doing so anyway, got a Gene instead. There seems to be one LN2 mode menu in the bios. Gene has a LN2 jumper, but also not sure what it does apart from unlocking the LN2 profile in bios. Doesn't seem to automatically set any voltages alone, if you don't load the profile, but I need more time to test. I never understood the different LN2 modes on the B550 AM4 too. High VSOC didn't help me before, no matter what I did, the 7950X I have was still coldbugged at around -110. For me, it seems to mostly help with UCLK. Haven't tested it with the Gene on LN2 yet, so I can't tell if there's any improvement in that area compared to my old board. I will try to improve zentimings, as it doesn't detect the blck on boards with eCLK, but I don't promise anything. PS: I've tried up to 1.55V vSOC which was the maximum on the Tomahawk. The CPU was doing full pot with 2nd CPU disabled, but not with both CCDs enabled.

You need to have LN2 mode enabled and usually at least -40C temperature, but maybe that can be bypassed with the physical LN2 switch, at least I can on the Gene. You can freely go above the 1.3 limit once in windows though, even on the Tomahawk. Problem is booting to windows Zentimings might not show the real vsoc, don't rely too much on it, especially in this edge case where it is "technically" not allowed. On asus it was still displaying 1.3, but in reallity it is higher. Not sure if always the case or it depends where you input the value in bios. As for the Tachyon, perhaps it is better all 7 people that have the board to create a chat? :p It would be easier. I haven't seen a single bencher which has the board and is not sponsored/connected with Gigabyte. I finally bought a Gene and...there's almost no difference with the Tomahawk. GDM option is the most notable one. PS: It was still flooring it down to 1.3 on the tomahawk and ambient temps, despite allowing me to enter and save a higher value in the AMD OC menu with LN2 mode enabled.

7-zip benchers, engage now!

Why do we need that category anyway?

a little race with Phantom_K :)

Getting there!

97.44 driver is bugged at least in 3dm03 - soldiers in test 2, girl and trolls in test 3 are all missing, giving higher FPS in those tests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKWyaU7jNK4

Excellent, nicely done!

I just wanted to see where I am compared to the other guys Could do a little better, I believe.

Very nice, I was able to do a similar result, but for me there's no point in pushing even further as my old LN2 score is out of reach without going cold again.

I was aiming at 2500, but it seems to be out of reach for my sample.

You should be at 14.7xx -14.8xx at these clocks and timings, definitely something wrong with DRAM settings (default is not optimal for y-cruncher)

A better memory with unlocked PMIC and around 1.30sec faster. Also easy 14.770 y-cruncher 1b (prev best with same mem speed and comparable cpu clocks around 15.0xx). It should give me a nice boost on LN2. 6GHz update 4m 44.272s

Great score! Most of my sessions are the same :D Curious to know the vSOC required, I need around 1.52V for 7400 and 1.55 (max on my board) are not enough for 7600.

I am very sceptical about AIO, air and "normal" water during winter :)

@GorodJust lucky with the IMC, I think. Max I've been able to run so far is 7400 (on LN2 though). It could always be some MSI magic, but I doubt it.

A little improvement 6GHz https://hwbot.org/submission/5178335_i.nfrar.ed_superpi___32m_ryzen_9_7950x_4min_45sec_747ms 5GHz https://hwbot.org/submission/5178336_i.nfrar.ed_superpi___32m_ryzen_9_7950x_5min_38sec_598ms

Clear evidence for a hack! I don't know why this isn't taken down yet. @Leeghoofd are you sleeping? I guess there's still more in the tank. Great job!

Then I take my words back, thought every chip scales I have a limited set of data from my testing and info from other people. Maybe I'm just lucky with the IMC and unlucky with the cores.

Yes https://wallpaper.dog/win95-default-wallpapers This is a thing that @Seby9123 started with using XP background, so I followed with 95. OS is standard Win10 21H2.

Excellent! I knew it was possible sub 14.300 with similar settings, just had no time to try more. Next time, 7600+

Nothing special, really. Depends on chip's IMC and they all scale on cold. With 6400 (if that's ambient) you should still be able to do 7000-7200 on cold CPU.

Win95 tweak You can see my other scores with this cpu. It's coldbugged (-110) no matter what I tried. Now, when I have some more experience with the platform, I could probably get a bit better scores on other benches, but not by much. The clock difference with the top guys is too big.

Hmm, I had hpet enabled (useplatformclock) as it is required for x264, but it didn't cause the bclk to drop, it happened "out of nowhere" for me and was back to normal after the bios almost killed itself. As you mentioned that though, I can see there are other scores with the same drop in bclk.

Excellent score! You got the same bug with bclk showing as ~98.6? My bios almost committed suicide after that happened, wiped all its profiles and settings, had to start from scratch and it worked afterwards. Also, at some point, I could see all cores, but the scores (dropped in half) were like the second CCD is not there at all.
