Nice score, very close to 11k memory! Do you think you can push it any further? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wljq9ELaJtlkywUj_TdbYCjwREXyZPGr/view Here is the XOC equivalent to the bios you use now. This may allow you to tighten your SCLs to 2 and crank down tRAS/tRC a little more. Does your memory stop scaling before 4800+?

oh boy

Something I consider important is tweakability, being responsive to OS tuning and specific subtiming tightening, not just higher frequency. I am not sure how easy or difficult this would be to do, but OS and hardware compatibility would be a big interest for me. Being able to run on much older (early ddr3 and ddr2 systems) as well as more recent (ddr4 and ddr5) systems. SuperPi (specifically 32M) is a good example benchmark, as it achieves both of these goals. It works on OSs way older than XP and still works with Windows 11, and is the same benchmark regardless if you use 32 or 64 bit operating systems. It does not use many if any "new" instruction sets, and it remains a relevant benchmark because it can compare between generations. The problem with it is that it takes a while to run, and many users don't know how to interpret their score or how to improve it most effectively. Another issue with it is that it's still a CPU benchmark.

Thank you! Hopefully I can improve it soon

The setting actually applies? Great!

No tRAS <28?

4900 direct ratio may also be unstable

Relating to this HWBot submission, where you did 4800 14-14 SP32M: https://hwbot.org/submission/4712591_dimon.sava2010_superpi___32m_core_i9_9900k_5min_29sec_589ms an you run fully tightened subtimings? Like tRFC 220, tRDWR_sg/dg 10, tWRRD_sg/dg 26/21 or 25/20, maybe tCWL 13 or 12 if all previous works. Does tRCD 13 or tighter RTL (56/56, 55/56, 55/55, doesn't necessarily need IOL 6 but might) run SP32M? Is 4800c14 the max for this set? Maybe could try 4800 ratio, drop core and cache by one ratio, boot 100.3 bclk and raise to 102.1 in OS, needing 2.03-2.05vdimm. Did you use waza? Thank you for your patience.

Ah, you're the other person who was able to do 1t on Z390. Do you mind if I ask you to do any further testing?

How does the 11700k do on air?

Let me look for another link

Does anyone know what the record for this category actually is? I know @Rauf has 5.51.328 or something like that, posted to FB on February 29th, 2020. I wish I had the original screen, as this FB upload reduced quality a ton.

ofc rules are the same as always, 5003 max core/cache Kinda surprised nobody made a thread separate from the Sky/Kaby rankings.

To my knowledge it works with Corsair AIOs too, but needs some modification to the adapter. Should see if he could make it compatible in its stock form.

think this is in-os OC software https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PL3JEGwQn1-AvrlnDzIweXviqtzMAZtU/view

@Wizerty Is there any RKL-compatible XOC bios for Z490 Ace?

Quick performance check with the OS, seems good compared to my screens of previous OS. Looking forward to y'all's results

OS is optimized for Rocket Lake mainly. You'll want to use InSpectre for previous Intel gens. For Cascade Lake-X/Coffee Lake-R/Comet Lake-S you will want to use a bios with modified/removed microcode for all benchmarks. For Comet Lake-S specifically, there is a patch that will need to be ran at logon of any user with Task Scheduler for the use of no-ucode bioses, see the XII Apex thread for more details. Maxmem is not set by default. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TnXW4rUrS7-IzgKLt9peYFChGTJKFmDd/view?usp=sharing Go wild.

OS is optimized for Zen 3 mainly. You'll want to use InSpectre if you use an older Ryzen, and Geekbench 3 version 3.4.3 will score better with previous gens. Maxmem is not set by default. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TnXW4rUrS7-IzgKLt9peYFChGTJKFmDd/view?usp=sharing Go wild.

Does tRAS <28 work?

Check DMs. I think you'll find this pretty interesting.

@TaPaKaH Do you know anything about 2000 8-8-8 with BBSE, 2133 8-9-8 with Hyper, or 2200 9-9-9 with PSC? Or any other weird sets with SNs that claim to use ICs that generally aren't found in a specific bin.

With an Extreme, you can probably still run 4k c12 1t with 8x8gb.

Looking forward to your results!

nice
