Pretttty kewls.

Beating stock hynix sets with the default cheapo samsung microcenter bundled ram.

Most of those hynix stock sets are 30 40 40 96 or 30 36 36 96 at 6000mhz

This set's doing 32 34 34 80 at 6200mhz

Why does Tp4 feel compelled to buy 8000rpm fans.  He hasn't done it, but it's always in the back of his mind.

8000rpm could be his, yet with absolutely no where to put them.

You know what's weird.   There are so many "brand new" ugly PCs out there.

It's one thing if someone was taking alot of old stuff and pushing forward, but you see these people with all new parts, and it's ugly as hell.


Tp4 can't understand this. Are they even trying?

Ram settings verified. Prime95 stable.

32-34-34-80 6200mhz 1.435v from  36`36`36`96 6000mhz 1.35v

Pretty solid gains. Beats most stock hynix sticks.

32 33 32 80 should be possible, buhhhh does Tp4 want to use another 5KW of electricity to find out? No.. not really.

Speaking of ram, I can't get my sticks to run at advertised speed on my kinda crappy motherboard (prime b650m-a). I feel like I might spring for a different motherboard just to address this. sticks aren't on QVL list. not too concerned with the extra cost of a different motherboard, but more concerned about whether it'll actually make a difference. no difference would seem like a waste of time for me lol.

Do you have the samsung kit or hynix kit.  List your exact kit.

Set vsoc to 1.2- 1.225

vddq and vddio to 1.25 for samsung, 1.35-1.4 for hynix

Set BCLK to 100mhz

set infinity fabric to 2000.  mclk = uclk 3000mhz (60x multi). 

set gear down mode to auto (motherboard dependent), auto works in most cases.
set power down mode to disable
set memory context restore to disable. (required for max stability, even at 6000)


There's nothing wrong with the board, if it's on an older bios, it probably just has a low stock vsoc, which can cause some processors to not boot 6000.  Most new bioses move the default vsoc to 1.2-1.25

Memory context restore is also a big one, very rarely can you enable it and be stable. It might be stable with it on for a day or a week, and then crap out randomly.  That's just how it is on this platform.

Sitting back, Can Tp4 feeeel CL 32-6200 vs CL 36-6000.

LOL, in testing an old CPU bound game, 1000fps is now roughly 1150fps. That's nice, but can you feeel that. hrrm..

These fans are ugly, they should be removed from the market.

Infinity mirrors are horrid, there's absolutely no context for their existence in the presentation itself.

The Antithesis of Aesthetic.

[tp4tissue]

The new Phanteks are not bad, solid lines. Massssively overpriced though.




IN general ,  You just don't want so many led bars/ protrusions, it just looks messy like LIGHT ACNE.

Simple circles are balanced on their own.  Tp4 demonstrates this perfectly with budget fans.


Also important is understanding that RGB 255,255,255 is NOT white, on most fans, it's Cyan, approximately 1000-1500nits of green and 2000nits of blue.  The RED is gone.

Below is Properly calibrated 93K White. Different on different fans, but approximately RGB 255, 181, 115

Running max bright also Turns other colors BLACK due to contrast. It's important to lower the brightness so the color from the other components are visible.

Colorimeters really help dial things in, Tp4 recommends everyone get a colorimeter to setup their case LEDs.
