is my card defective?

case scenarios:

1/ switch off the electricity supply + after +-30sec reset to default(clear cmos)+ on & check

2/ flash  bios  by Q-Flash_Plus + 1/

3/ switch off the electricity supply + take out the battery + on & check

...🤔

New XOC bios versions works fine with new CPU’s 13th/14th gen. Haven’t tested it on z690 Tachy but my experience is, bios versions are identical.

x7p works fine but not with 12th gen CPU’s especially with 12600. With 12900k/kf you can start each board. 
If you have another 12th gen CPU which can start without any problems, start board with it, select microcode 0x15 save settings, restart system, power it then off and replace CPU without CMOS. After it you should be able to start with 12600l/kf.

Regarding AVX512 and 12600k, it works only without e-cores, so don’t wonder if you don’t have avx512 if e-cores are active

hi
i have a problem with my 12600k on my 690 tachyon
when I launch Ycruncher at 4.9/5/5.1 GHZ my cpu downclocks to 4.5, even if it stays under 80°.

I've tried setting the avx512 offset to 0 or 1, but it makes no difference.
bios 690 or 790, it's the same thing.

can anyone help me?

I need to enable avx-512 in a z790 aorus elite X ax. Did you find any method? (I have old 12th with avx512 and building a retrograming set)

For everyone who gets a Gigabyte Z690 Tachyon, here is some information including bios.

 

As applies everywhere else in the OC area, the settings shown here are NOT suitable for 24/7 Systems! Therefore, please do this at your own risk.

 

The settings vary depending on the CPU and memory; here, as is so often the case, you have to find the right settings for yourself.

 

With the X2d Bios it is possible to read out "Biscuits" or as it is called by Asus “SP”, ATTENTION, these do not match the values from Asus, as the readout method is different. Thus, an SP90 at Asus can be Biscuits 93 at Gigabyte. In the "1 Core Voltage Prediction" area you can read out the default Vcore for individual cores. The lower this is, the better this core is suitable for single-core benchmarks;).

 

569454211_Pic1.thumb.jpg.9850fe1e771a27c515c89cae723b35d5.jpgc 1

 

 

CPUs with Biscuit from 93 are suitable for Extreme-OC. However, it is also possible that these CPUs (12900k) only achieve 6.6 GHz in Cinebench R20.

 

For OC not many settings are necessary with the Z690 Tachyon;).

 

First the most important, CPU menu.

Here it is very important to select "Nomial" in Full OC Mode. This prevents false results and helps with Extreme OC to prevent CB.

 

1764921632_Pic2.thumb.jpg.3517982b18acb7b6d4dfd438a049d18c.jpg

 

The E-Cores of the new CPUs can be deactivated in the "CPU Cores Enabling Mode". For this it is necessary to select "Selectable Mode" and deactivate the unnecessary E-Cores.

 

2020090009_Pic3.thumb.jpg.cf2a39bb682687ea4168ed47b95faa46.jpg

 

Of course, C-States and CPU EIST should be deactivated for OC.

 

As usual, you can select the X.M.P profile for the memory or work with the XMP Booster. I like to work with fixed values, so switch off everything that is not necessary and set it by hand.

 

In the picture below my "default" settings for 6600 are attached.

Important values are DRAM VDD / VDDQ and VDD2 CPU.

DRAM VDD / VDDQ are sufficient at 1.45V for both Air and Extreme-OC.

VDD2 CPU is dependent on the mem clock. Guide value here at 6600-6800 Mhz (Hynix) 1.45V - 1.50V.

 

40441267_Pic4.thumb.jpg.9fe322140f7b20b5d5493b122ed2f783.jpg

 

The individual voltages for Mem-VDD and Mem-VDDQ are to be set in the DDR5 Voltage Control area. Here as a guide value 1.50V for 6600. Here, too, it is my memory, I know what it needs, you have to find out for yours :)

 

699453963_Pic5.thumb.jpg.e7a95679c878718768cde6e22c2cd7d5.jpg

 

 

If your voltage or timing settings do not match, the board will restart several times. To get into the BIOS faster without losing the settings, you can use the LIMP-Mod button.

 

The timings I have set can be used on air with 6666 Mhz without any problems. With a cold CPU, up to 6900+ are possible. As soon as the CPU and memory are cold, over 7000 are no problem either.

 

1834442887_Pic6.thumb.jpg.cee8145b2d1a4a99ffedea6081f98c76.jpg

 

 

Only 5 voltages are important for Extreme OC:

Vcore: 1.60V - 1.65V

DRAM Vdd / VddQ: 1.55V

VDD2 CPU: 1.60V

DDR5 voltage control

VDD A0 Voltage: 1.60V

VDDQ A0 Voltage: 1.60V

 

333075489_Pic7.thumb.jpg.218464428da13deb78b0cfae9753b4ad.jpg

 

With Extreme-OC it is important:

Only set the voltages at around -120 and only then boot into the OS. In the OS, the temperature can be lowered to full pot.

Should you get a blue screen, please press the "Reset" button.

After a restart, full pot is possible without any problems. In this case it is not necessary to lower the temperature and a restart with full pot is possible.

If you don't do that, the board may start without a postcode, then you have to heat up to about -145 °, depending on the CPU, before the board starts normally.

After such a start, your settings can be lost, so a look in the BIOS after a restart is not wrong.

 

 

One more thing about the GTL tool, this tool currently only works under Windows 10! If this does not show anything when you start it for the first time, create a shortcut on the desktop and start GTL in admin mode.

Sorry for Elite X or AX I don´t have any XOC-Bios-Versions.

I`ve patched last F6f bios with AVX512 patch but I`m not sure if it will work because you must activate it also in Bios, only patch wasn`t enough before.

you can try it download-link, maybe it works.

@sergmann @Hicookie New bios for 690/790/X with 0x129 microcode coming? Seems relevant for benching, multiple users on OCN have reported the SA bug being fixed with it. CPUs that were limited to ~1.2sa are now doing 1.35+ :)

At the moment we don’t have new bios for 13+14 gen. But I’ve also never had problems with SA. All my CPU’s works fine with more then 1.20v SA. For Gear4 also over 1.4v

but I’ll ask Cookie, as soon as he is back in the office

I have one 14900KF (out of many 13th and 14th Gen) with the SA bug and anything 1.200V or higher VCCSA would cause lockups, which obviously hinders RAM overclocking. That CPU maxed out at 8200 CL38 with 1.190V on VCCSA. BIOS 1503 with 0x129 MC fixed that for me. I tested up to 1.400V on VCCSA and no more freezes. The SA bug was a problem on ASUS and MSI boards I tested it on.

I tested the ASUS XOC BIOS that @safedisk posted (v9933) and the SA bug returned to that CPU even with 0x129 MC.  I am going back to BIOS v1503 and hope the SA bug goes away again. It was nice having a CPU that worked right. I'm going to be sad if the fix was undone by 9933. It is a better than average CPU sample except for that flaw. Has a really nice VF curve and low voltage requirements for the P/E cores and cache and strong IMC.

Just for Info, my 14600K works fine CL32 with 1.35SA/ 1.35/1.45 VDD’s

my 14900k don’t need slouch high voltages, it works perfectly with 1.27SA 1.37/1.39 VDD’s

Everything with CL32.

this is why I say I’ve never had problems with SA Voltages.

but of course different CPU’s needs different Voltages. Some like higher, some need lower voltages.
