Just wondering if anyone else can verify, I dropped my SOC voltage in BIOS to 1.08v. The bios reports 1.11v but all monitoring tools in windows, including Ryzen Master reports it as 1.2V. It never seems to change either and is the only v that reports exactly the same every time. Every other v is...

I have to finally admin defeat, I have no idea how PBO functions or what settings produce a good result. I messed with every setting and nothing seemed to change. The only setting that had any repeatable effect is curve optimisation. BCLK tweaking makes the system behave weird. Even just 1mhz up...

Just tinkering to see the difference. My card seems rock solid at 3030mhz with the bump. If I push any higher it drops back to that clock anyway. I'm seeing 520W with limit set to 133% so around 80W over the 'just under 450w' reported above (assuming stock) while performance in speedway while...

Every brand except Galax apparently.

I just found out that us late 4090 purchasers are punished by a 1070mv core limit. Earlier cards had a 1100mv limit. Flashed my card, a Gigabyte Aero OC 24G using nvflashk to a Gigabyte Gaming OC 24G (BIOS dated October 22 from Techpowerup). I chose the Gaming OC becuase it is basically the...

That was me. This was after flushing with hot vinegar, round two was caustic soda. In the bucket is the caustic soda flush. I'll put it in spoiler tags becuase it could induce trauma.

Just cleaned and changed thermal paste. +250 core and +1250 memory for all runs but the clocks are boosting higher due to lower temps I guess.

? GPU:

I loaded up some timespy results if anyone is interested in the difference between stock and lapped IHS, as well as Thermal Grizzly vs Noctua NT-H1. Fan and pump speeds should be fairly consistent between runs. I haven't tried running higher fans speeds yet, they are currently between 600 and...

It doesn't increase flow rate unless you have heavy flow restriction. Running dual D5's doubles head pressure but flow rate remains the same. Two blocks and three radiators isn't really enough to create a noticable drop in flow rate for a single D5. The only other scenario where dual D5's would...

Bro.

I don't know how much flow is restricted but there is no way it would be a 1 PSI drop. There is a pretty large surface area there. If you blow through it you can't feel any restriction at all and when I primed my pumps as usual I didn't notice any noticable drop in flow. The best thing about the...

Coolant is EK Cryofuel clear. Like I said, I bought a fuel filter and driled a hole through it. I just shoved it over the inlet pipe, works great. Just ran Timespy and got my best result. GPU temp went from (average) 56C to 49C. That is pretty incredible. CPU temps went from 71 to 68C so not as...

My loop was filthy so I spent the weekend cleaning it up. I built this system at the end of last year but for what ever reason my loop was contaminated after my previous attempt to clean it (which was the second attempt). I took the opportunity to lap my CPU waterblock and changed the thermal...

It doesn't look like EK have an active backplate for the 4090. The waterblock I got came with a passive backplate.
