  1. My lovely little Troll-chi it's definitely a moody thing but if you figure out how it wants to be treated it does surprisingly well. It definitely has different preferences for something's than other makes.

    The software OC tools are a bit buggy at times but at least they are easy to use and aren't bloated monsters.

    My two big asks for the bios...

    1.) VRM Switching Frequency, it would be nice to crank it up and not care about efficiency when I want to make things go fast.

    2) Give me back the DDR4 tuning controls, the options were there and over time they've been stripped out or dumbed down.

    Bonus round...

    3) set VTTDDR, offset is evil...

    4) Vref control...

    I doubt Asrock will unlock these things now, but I can hope.

    ?

    Thanks, I totally derped when reading over the thread, I thought it was just a Tachyon bios.

    I guess Giggles decided for Z590 if you want an XOC bios, you'll get a Tachyon... Understandable but not great for those who can't afford or even get their hands on one at all. Z490 was nice with the bioses being available across several boards.

  3. I broke down and got an OBT... I regret not doing so sooner, but it has a big issue for me.

    The stock hardware isn't complete, so you end up with not all the ATX mobo supports and such. I see they sell an extra hardware kit.

    Is it worth while do you guys think or should I just hold out and make it a Christmas gift?

    What are your thoughts on the PCBs? Is 8155/8117 a good sign or does it not mean anything? It seems like this issue never really was decided fully.

    Not great. Haven't gotten it stable 1000 9-9-8 yet, but I feel like I just don't have the right IOA/IOD combo yet. All timings scale with vDIMM, but scaling ends at 1.82v. Not exact loop 10-20 @ 1.81v, passes 32m at 1.82v, fails initial at 1.83v. And the vDIMM scaling is the same regardless of the IMC volts. Also tWCL 6 doesn't even work at 666mhz. Easy to see why this IC received no attention. I will still freeze them tho, if nothing else because I doubt anyone else has.

    Thanks for the follow up.

    I have a set of Geil 6-6-6 1333 coming from across the pond, so that's why I was curious.

    Hopefully your sticks scale on cold... Weirder things have happened.

    Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word "Collector" since it implies not using what you collect. I do use them. I'm working on dialing in a set of D9KPT right now, some patriot 1333 6-6-6 rated sector 5s. Useless unless you just want to see what D9KPT can do. 

    The whole "Collector vs user" tension is present in many areas, and in all of them I'm on the user's side. In my case that includes 60s/70s SLRs (film cameras), 19th century woodworking tools, and classic cars. That said, you do with your money as you wish.

     

    EDIT: Also, shouldn't the vaporware bins be called vaporbins? sorry, I had to. xD

    How is the devil... I uh mean the 6-6-6 kit doing?

  6. So if you don't want to install the MSI bloatware...

    Seems Dragon Center is EOL

    The new MSI Center does nothing...

    I look at the MSI tools on Intel, and it's like well damn...

    I mean Asrock has better software for doing in OS overclocking controls... Asrock...
