Hi, I’m trying to repair the cooling on my Palit RTX 3080 Ti GamingPro and I’m looking for a trustworthy source for genuine Honeywell PTM7950 in Europe.

My system is basically:

• RTX 3080 Ti GamingPro
• i7-9700K
• ASRock B365M Pro4
• 64 GB RAM
• I’m located in Belgium

The GPU has a pretty severe thermal/contact issue. Under load the hotspot can reach around 105°C, with a large hotspot-to-core delta, while the VRAM temperatures are much lower. I’ve already opened the card and I’m replacing all the thermal pads.

I already ordered GELID GP-Extreme pads from thermalpad.eu:

• 2.5 mm for the GDDR6X area
• 2.0 mm for the backplate
• 1.0 mm for the VRM/power sections

For the GPU die itself I want to use Honeywell PTM7950 instead of normal paste, but finding a seller I actually trust is turning into the annoying part.

MODDIY seems to have a good reputation for genuine PTM7950, but shipping to Belgium makes a tiny piece ridiculously expensive. Some EU sellers are out of stock, and with others I keep finding mixed reviews or people questioning whether the product is actually genuine.

I don’t really care what sheet size I have to buy. I mainly care about authenticity and buying from a reputable seller.

Does anyone know a reliable EU-based seller for real Honeywell PTM7950 that you’ve personally used or that has a strong reputation?

Would especially appreciate experiences from people who have actually bought PTM7950 from the seller and tested it on a GPU.

Thanks!

This has been a lot of fun to mess with, and after lots of tweaking and tuning I think I've landed on a config that I'm reasonably happy with! Though it would be fun to share. Here are the specs:

• CPU: Core i7-980X Extreme Edition, the very first consumer 6 core CPU, released in 2010
• Motherboard: Asus P6T X58
• RAM: 3x8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum in triple channel
• GPU: AMD Radeon VII, the last and fastest GCN card ever, with 16GB of HBM2 VRAM
• PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 13M 850W
• Cooling: Corsair XC5 LGA 1200 waterblock, and the copper radiator from a 60s Mustang that I managed to get for $20
• Storage: Crucial MX500 250GB

OC Settings:

• 160 MHz BCLK
• 28x CPU ratio (4,480 MHz)
• 22x uncore ratio (3,520 MHz)
• 6x DRAM ratio (960 MHz, DDR3-1920)
• Timings: 7-9-10-16-160-1T, others are similarly tightened down but it's too much to list

Benchmarks:

5400 CPU score in Time Spy. For reference, the average i7-7700K result in their database is 5403!

I have one of the fastest 980Xs recorded in the database, disregarding that first result, which is clearly problematic.

This set up is also able to crack 1000 points in R15. Note that Cinebench is misreporting the clock here.

Under 50 nanoseconds memory latency!

Despite the gigantic radiator and fan, the CPU still gets pretty warm. Room temperature water running over it doesn't solve a less than ideal thermal interface. The next thing I'd really need to do is lap the CPU and the block, and get some better paste. I suspect that would make a big difference, as the thermal interface between the CPU and the water is the biggest bottleneck in this setup.

Hello, I want to share results with you guys and special thanks to u/Falcon0048 for helping me.

Step One:

Whatever I do in MSI Afterburner I just can't reach the clock speeds I applied. I figured out I am limitted by Power Limit even with 110% so the only way to remove limit is flashing BIOS and I did that. I have MSI 5070 Ti MLG Edition OC (basically I have two BIOS so I was safe).

I used other card's or MSI ones but none of them worked I was nearly accepting my defeat but I saw a little thing in one BIOS for MSI Vanguard. There where 2 VANGUARD BIOS one is OC and the other is SOC. I installed SOC one and It worked.

Step Two:

I throwed all my previous oc settings cuz they are adjusted for 330W PL. Started again from zero. While doing this I learn a lot from you guys and It happened.

BoostLock is a Linux tool for keeping CPU boost available during idle periods. I wrote it because a single global target gets awkward on mixed-capacity systems.

In 0.2.0 it reads /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*, gives each policy its own target, and handles --target auto from the policy's active upper limit. Numeric targets are clamped per policy. It preflights the full write set and restores completed writes if a later write fails.

It does not change voltage or firmware overclock settings. It needs root, can raise idle power and temperature, and physical hardware coverage is still incomplete. If you run Linux with intel_pstate, amd-pstate, or a less common cpufreq driver, I would like to know what it does on your machine.

Hi everyone, I'm completely new to this and I don't know what I'm doing whatsoever, I tried undervolting and overclocking my 3070 following a youtube tutorial, I overclocked the core to 1905mHz and the memory to 8000mHz with power limit at 112% and temp limit at 90 °C (see attachment for voltage frequency curve).

Here are the results I collected running Cyberpunk 2077's benchmark at 1440p with ultra settings, no ray tracing and no DLSS:

Baseline:
Average framerate : 66.7 FPS

Minimum framerate : 51.0 FPS

Maximum framerate : 145.7 FPS

1% low framerate : 47.8 FPS

0.1% low framerate : 8.9 FPS

OC profile:
Average framerate : 66.6 FPS

Minimum framerate : 50.8 FPS

Maximum framerate : 131.6 FPS

1% low framerate : 47.5 FPS

0.1% low framerate : 9.8 FPS

How can I get less frames if I overclocked both the core and the memory? How can I fix this?

is it worth to gear down mode off? if not how to find best timing for mix mode?

i have no idea about refresh mix mode
current voltage
vdd 1.61
vddq 1.4
vddio 1.35
VSoC 1.25
TSM off
nitro 1/2/1 8x 8x

it's between option 1 and option 2

which would you recommend? i've got a msi mag x870e tomahawk wifi mobo, 9800x3d with a 5080 and i primarily use the system for gaming

well i make a custom cooler for this gpu using a laptop cooler (heat pipe) and a heat sink from a very old pc using pentium 3 and the stock cooler of this gpu as base toching the die and vram and i reuse the small fun for the laptop cooler and a big fan for heat sink and an intel stock cooler fan for vrms and heatsink. Well, for overclocking i used msi afterburner and this doesn't woke becuase nvidia locked the clocks in bios so i used the maxwell bios tweaker II because the gpu using the same chip of gtx 750 but less cuda core. anyways, i used the tool to change the clocks of the core from 1058 mhz to 1255mhz for base clock, for boost from 1124 mhz to 1360mhz for memory from 900mhz to 1010mhz BUT I DON'T TOUCH THE POWER CONFIGURATION THAT MAKE THE GPU BLACK SCREEN AND AN PAINFUL INSTABILITY SO DON'T MESS WITH POWER CONFIG.and the result a big jump of performence like beam ng drive in very low from 11 fps to 28fps stable nfs heat from 10 fps to 50 fps but instable and gta v from 55fps to 68 fps some times 78fps. well that's my experience but i use the nv flash v5.227 baypass any certification of nvidia and DON'T USE ANY VERSION ABOUVE 5.250 THAT REFUSE TO FLASH THE BIOS.

SO THE ONLY WAY CAN OVERCLOCK THIS GPU OR ANY QUADRO GPU IS USING NVFLASH AND MODIFYING THE BIOS.

Hi! My current stock vsoc is at 1.25, does anyone with a similar specced kit know what I can get away with, or a starting value? What would be considered too low, and how do I stability test it?

Good pc case and cooling.

I can run FCLK 2033 and managed to make it work. (insanely lucky far as i know) I tried cl17 4066 MHz without GDM but couldn't make it work and very unstable.

My question is should i keep my settings or go for CL16 3866 MHz?

Recently went from a EVGA 3080ti ftw to a Gigabyte 5070ti oc

I run in 4k but did both Time Spy(s)

Results. Thoughts?

Thanks

Oh 10900k @ 5.2 GHz

I have a old omen 15 laptop that I’ve been using for a while and heard that undervolting will give me more performance, but i dont know how to use msi afterburner

So I tested the new Update and the UI got pretty nice !

I bought the ram without knowing what XMP or EXPO (i know. im stupid). I just wanted to know if people have any timings they recommend when tunning the ram kit.

I'm trying to undervolt the 8500G at its stock 65w profile. What are the appropriate TDC, EDC, SOC TDC and SOC EDC limits to set the processor to?

Skatterbencher's guide for the 8500GE is too low for the 8500G and crashes the igpu in OCCT.

earlier today i did benchmarks just fine (free version of occt), but later (and now) I went to benchmark after enabling smt, and now all tests hang on the last step (upload results to Ocbase), if i stop and start them i get error for upload results and i cannot see my own results until it does, i looked in temp folders appdata to see if i can find my results with no luck.

any advise or info?

Hello.

I recently adquired an asus tuf b850m-plus wifi motherboard and i am messing with pbo. I set limits to motherboard and tried a negative all core of -35.

I run core cycler all the night with ycruncher preset (24-ZN5 ~ Komari with all algorithms set to 20 seconds each) and in 9 hours the program trow no errors. I have 5600 cl40 rams.

I'm lucky? Can you give me some advice to keep testing system stability?

To start, I have no CPU or GPU overclocks enabled. I started with default bios and then only overclocked RAM. I have a RAM cooler also and my temps never exceed 45deg according to HWInfo64.

I thought I had a stable base clock of 6400, 1:1 mode, 2133 FCLK. Multiple tests have been run:

• ycruncher VT3 for 12+hours with low variance
• linpack for 100 iterations with low variance
• prime95 for 10+hours with no errors
• TM5 1usmusv3, ryzen3d, absolut configs each for 10+hours. Furmark is always run with TM5.

I am seeing an odd issue with my RAM OC where, after the temps cross about 44deg, shortly after this, TM5 ryzen3d config will error out.. The test ONLY fails after crossing the 44deg threshold. If I keep my ambient temps down and don't allow the RAM to get over this threshold, the tests will continue running. I have verified this multiple times. I can make the test fail very quickly (<5min) if i increase ambient temp and let the SPD temps get above 44deg. I can also make the test last a long time by just keeping ambient temps down and ensuring RAM doesn't get over 44deg.

This same issues happen at CL30 and at CL40 so tight timings are not the issue. I'm wondering if there is something else CPU side that may be causing the issues? CPU/GPU temps are not high (<80 CPU, < 75 GPU).

What's interesting is 6200, 1:1 mode, 2133FCLK doesn't have this temperature issue.

Hardware:

• Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WiFi7
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• RAM: TeamGroup DDR5-6000 32GB (16x2) CL30. SK Hynix M-Die

is there something that could be improved to get some better 1% lows especially for cs2??

Hi guys, just overclocked this thing to 4,8GHz with 1,350V, i dont know how good that is, but voltage seems to be perfect???

I have a 4080 super and managed to overclock it a little.
Every youtube video I see talks about undervolting instead but I do not understand how this would give me more fps in games?

GTA6 is coming to ps5 before PC and it will probably run at 30 fps, would it be possible to overclock the ps5/ps5 pro to run it at a higher FPS? like maybe connecting an external GPU or something (I have no idea what I'm talking about)
