Yeah, either way most I could boot was like 9060 ish, I mostly just got bored after clearing cmos and having to wait a long time, only to have it freeze when adjusting bclk at what had worked before. I only tried for like 30m on ln2 since I wasn’t doing much better than ambient, and my time was better spent rerunning storage bench.

I bench on my daily setup with a capture card, and I use a LG CX 48 as my main monitor, so 4K is super readable. With no drivers installed, you can’t change the resolution, and changing the scaling messed with some programs especially OCTool, though I have a solution to that, and a way to force 1440p, I just didn’t bother because the extra resolution makes it easy to have hwinfo (3 tabs wide), cpuz, oc tool, and cinebench all open, since hitting positive temps on this platform is real and I wanted to see how bad it was sometimes (across 64 or 96 cores) Besides, the scaling on the benchmate window makes it the same percent size as on a 1080p monitor, making it equally easy to get all the info. (PS pro tip, to fix how windows scaling applies to HWINFO and OCTool, right click the exe, properties, compatibility tab, high DPI settings, change the bottom dropdown to System (Enhanced). I usually do just bench with 150% scaling)

What CPU? And could you get into BIOS? I think windows has microcode update if not stripped

Are you using a C0 stepping CPU? For me it works perfectly, just tested

Curious, can you run these memory settings at full pot temp? On old bios, I had to run pyprime at -160 and just ran 7.7-7.8, but now going all the way cold is easy.

Spent too much time on 8000 CL26 before things got really unstable. Next day just ran 8600 timings at 7200 and called it a day

Apex encore released after comp start ?

SLI is faster than I thought, even with low CPU clock, good job.

lol, benchmate seems to generate random numbers on AM5/TR5 with manual OC for some reason. Real voltage is CPUz voltage + .14 I think.

Yes, and pinout is here https://elmorlabs.com/forum/topic/spi-header-pinouts/ Though the modded bios is much easier and works just as well.

You can just mod the bios to use the older microcode that supports it.Here is one from latest bios Alternatively, you can use an EVC or other spi flasher to force flash the older bios, that worked for me.

try the link again, sorry (used the last avx-512 ucode instead of the bclk one)

0507 bclk (eventually this link will stop working, just lmk later)

Just 12 normal Zen 4 CCDs crammed into SP6

Awesome

Finally 12x Overkill not a meme xD

Problem was just 1600 FCLK vs 2000 :D

Z790 APEX ENCORE 0506 modded for BCLK OC 0506bclk

For me, bclk oc is broken, to say the least.....

Nice, can’t wait to see what else you’ve got ;)

Great score

Nice job
