It is complete. It’s such a massive step up from my i7 9700k and Vega 64 card it’s hard to describe.

Heat rises… lower to ground means better thermals… it’s the 500iq play.

Dayum. Had a -30 curve on my cpu with optimized pbo that put me at 5650 mhz. It went well until today.

ff7 remake hates that shite. Had to turn off the optimizer and go back to -25. I hope it sticks now.

If I were to venture a guess, FF7 is using cores that your normal games don't heavily use. A -30 all core is a very, very aggressive curve. You're almost always going to have at least a couple of cores that can't reach that. But you'll never have issues if those cores don't get hit hard. As soon as they are, you'll crash like crazy.

I think I have my 5700x set to
-7
-25
-25
-25
-25
-12
-25
-25

Oddly -25 all core works just fine while I play games, but if I watch a Youtube Video, or Netflix, it crashes.

Lighter workloads seem to screw with more aggressive curves for some reason.

Lower temps. The frequency curve is based on temperature. That’s why offsets to lower voltage result in higher clock speeds. But, higher clock with lower voltage tends to be less stable. So during gaming when the load is high, even with the offset, temps rise enough to keep clock down enough to be stable. But if a program asks for full clock state but the load is actually low, temps stay down, clock shoots up, and you get a crash.

It worked fine outside ff7.

Everything else I did worked great.

CPU stress test: fine
Benchmark: fine
Games like ESO, EU4, RDR2, and cyber punk: fine

FF7 remake: nope.

It's held up well after an adjustment. The buzzing sounds from the speakers and the hard restarts are no more. At least for now.

Just started poking around with Spiderman Remastered on PC. Did we have a thread on it back in the day? I can't seem to find one now, but TD's search function sucks, so that's little indicator

But I need to get my 12900k and Mobo setup. What's an ideal RAM solution for it? It came with some RAM, but I think it was 5800 with high latency

Gskill has a tool that can show you all the compatible ram for your mobo/chipset… I’m sure other ram makers have a similar tool to use as well.

Same idea as Gent, but opposite direction. Check your motherboard’s support page. Should have a list of XMP certified RAM kits.
