@BobVonBoB dont worry, for photo its fine ? Its "old" photo trick for memory kit reviews (maybe since 2010)

Can you move it to right section? Hard to say. TridentZ (3600 MHz old model) what I have can not push so high. For tight timings seems better for old one, but for high clocks is winner Royals. And design is also awesome. I think, only the price is issue for most of users.

At CES2019 GSkill launched new memory kits. GSkill is from my point of view TOP brand of memory modules. Memory not only for normal users, gamers but also for extreme overlcockers. There is also great support and compatibility list of GSkill memory kits. OF course, price is another point. For high models premium. But the prerformance, design, compatibility and long time experience seems GSkill is something as Formula 1 GSkill TridentZ Royal are new kits follow up latest series TridentZ RGB. Design of new Royals is more atractive on higher level. The lighting looks like "diamonds" on memory heatspreaders. And in real life looks great- You can check promo video bellow. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBJFn2oT5FU[/youtube] GSkill Royals exists in two versions - gold and silver. In my case I tested silver version. The kit is inside black box Inside the box make us happy the antistatic cloth (for cleaning not only memory, but also eg for LCDs) and GSkill sticker. After we can see silver gems. Be carefullm on heatspreaders are blank foil. Kits has massive heatspreaders and under it is 10-layers PCB. Passives are 44mm high. And on top are "diamonds" leds About this kit Specification on XMP default are awesome. Most of editors can not overlcock it - [highlight=yellow] Timings on XMP is nice 17-17-17 on 4000 MHz frequency![/highlight] Memory kits are RGB friendly and synchronized example with ASUS AURA software or you can use GSkill software. Guaranteed support is for chipset Intel Z370 and Intel Z390. Inside (on PCB) are Samsung chips, B-die chips. B-die are very popular by extreme overlcockers because these chips likes high voltages and tight timings. TridentZ Royal have new PCB layout, a little different than TridentZ 2017 model. TNew one layout named A2. A2 seems good for high frequency with solid timings. Test system PC I used highend motherboard Maximus XI Apex, what I am testing slowly also (in next weeks) CPU: Intel Core i7-8086K, my favourite one, good sample 5 GHz 1.15V for all overlcockers benchamrks. But for tests CPU is on stock. cooling system: ROG Ryujin 360 AIO RAM: 2x 8GB GSkill TridentZ Royal PSU: Corsair AX1200 GPU ROG Strix GTX1050 2GB OS: Windows 7 64-bit (some test on default memory size, some test with 4096MB max size in system) I tested it only in few benchmarks. But I did one mistake and I noticed too late (in first table) In the night memory looks awesome! RAM and XMP profile Results are in the enxt chapter Overclocking with default CAS First I tested with 17-17-17 timings. I was really interested what the memory can to do. Eg on TPWUP memory can do "nothing" on quick tweaking ( https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/G.SKILL/F4-4000C17D-16GTRS/8.html ) a nebo jen o nějakých 50 MHz. Because I mentioned memory are based on b-die, dot worry about DRAM voltage. I set 1.65V as max limit. But be sure, you will set IO and SA also on manual. Sometimes on "auto" settings motherboard can set IO and SA too high and in danger zone! I used IO and SA 1.2V to 1.22V The final result was solid 4300 MHz with 17-17-17. On higher memory clocks I got only some test, but it was not stable. For fun only I checked Superpi at 4500 MHz. There are results. But you can see, there is my mistake with Windows settings. The big difference is in AIDA64 due to my mistake caching... Overlcocking at 4000 MHz and with lower timings Also here I preserved DRAM voltage up to 1.65V. Memory are scaling here very good. The best results to see are in AIDA64 and Geekbench (memory single score). -final result with 4000 MHz 1.65V, IO and SA 1.22V for both Frequency up I was interested what can to do with higher voltage. [highlight=yellow]Do not try it home, if you not to understand overclocking theory![/highlight] Superpi 4600 MHz Maximum freequency 4700 MHz! Propably I could got a little higher with higher SA and IO (about 1.35V) Conslusion Memory TridentZ Ryoal are good tweaked on stock for high performance and operating at 1.35V. I do not see much 17-17-17 kits in market. It is clear, this memory must to be one of the best in performance results from all. Usually you can see others kits 4000 MHz with timings example 18-20-20, or in better case 19-19-19. And if you are fan of RGBs, these kits are Miss of RAM modules :-)- GSkill have own RGB software or you can use software of motherboards to synchronize all RGBs devices. Overclocking is also very solid. But you need some skill to tweak it. But if you are afraid of tweaking, you can still to buy these kits because performance on stock is really high. Only one negative could be price. Is a little higher, but every TOP product is ussually higher price ranking. There are also TridentZ Royal with lower frequency and you can buy it example here: https://www.alza.cz/g-skill-16gb-kit-ddr4-3200mhz-cl16-trident-z-royal-rgb-silver-d5524821.htm https://www.newegg.com/global/sa-en/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232787&Description=gskill trident z royal&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=gskill_trident_z_royal-_-20-232-787-_-Product

As AMD enthusiast, Im interesting for change in BIOS/agesa. I thought, the best for me as benchmarker will be 1002 BIOS and I was opponent of new BIOSes. Why? Because at Superpi depends J. But after relase new beta with full unlock all first and secondary timings and drivings I was more and more curious... So, what about compare old good classic BIOS 1002 with agesa 1004 vs new BETA BIOS 9943 with agesa 1006? Lets do itJ. I did comparison in HWBOT benchmarks, which is most interesting for me and maybe for few other guys (Im sure, for real apllications will be new BIOS better). I tested at Crosshair VI Formula, Windows 7 64-bit with CPU Ryzen 5 1500X and Gskill TridentZ 2x 4 GB memory. These kits are E-die. I set CPU at 3986 MHz (fluctuation to 3987 MHz) and memory at 2932 MHz effective with timings 12-16-16 in first case (BIOS 1002). Others doesnt change, its automatic. Also I tried BIOS settings „performance BIAS“. In second I cant post with same memory divider, so clock in second testing was 3990 MHz and memory 2946 MHz timings 12-16-16 + auto settings also. The small difference in CPU/memory clock is 4 MHz, so in theory results could be inaccurately in tenth second in Superpi. In all cases the process of benchmark was set to very high. And for Superpi I did two results, because with Ryzen and prediction function seems second run always much better. As you can see, performance BIAS working solid for AIDA/ Geekbench with both BIOSes. „Cinebench R11.5 BIAS“ works best with both Cinebenchs R11+R15 and for wprime 1024M also. But is all the times not good with Superpi runs. „Cinebench R15 BIAS“ seems very good for Superpi 32M and not bad also for Cinebench. Performance „AUTO BIAS“ seems good only for Superpi 32M. My recommendation are: Superpi 32M = use Cinebench R15 BIAS or AUTO settings of performance BIAS Wprime 1024M = use settings „Cinebench R11.5 BIAS“ , difference are not big in others cases Cinebench R11.5 = use settings „Cinebench R11.5 performance BIAS“ Cinebench R15 = use settings „Cinebench R11.5 performance BIAS“, u can more play with „Cinebench R15 performance BIAS“, if you will be more lucky than me... Geekbench = use settinngs „AIDA/Geekbench performance BIAS“ AIDA 64 = in average the best is again „AIDA/Geekbench performance BIAS“ Now back to the table with all results. New BIOS 9943 brings small impact of performance, include also Superpi 32M. So dont worry and if you are HWBOT overlcocker, flash your BIOS :-) And of course, now you have more manually tweakings to improve again the score with the same settings. example of best Cinebench with agesa 1004, BIOS 1002 And with beta 9943+1006 agesa And Superpi 32M from table of results: PS:now you can easy to do tighter tRAS, TRC subtimings and many more in BIOS!

crosshair vi hero ROG Crosshairs - Thuban and Ryzen together
FlanK3r replied to FlanK3r's topic in Member Reviews
Next LN2 try...Ryzen and LN2, its fun, but issues with retraining of RAM, coldbootbug IMC etc. Not always easy. If you want stay at 1002 BIOS, be carefull to use TurboV in Windows, sometimes some settings changed at strange values :-) I had issues with boot to WIndows at Vcore 1.7 or more. So I kept 1.625V validation 5202 MHz PiFast at AMD Wprime+Ryzen is right choice. But with WinXP could be results better with the same frequency Cinebench R15 Superpi 32M, I wanted under 7minutes at this clock :-(... Superpi 1M GPUPi with CPU (100M and 1B) -

crosshair vi hero ROG Crosshairs - Thuban and Ryzen together
FlanK3r posted a topic in Member Reviews
Most liked platform for me was AMD Dragon. I was surprised at 2010 after the launch AMD Phenom II X6. Yes, its 7 years ago, memories...Today we have new Crosshair motherboard. Sixth generation named Crosshair VI Hero. Everything what you need to know about Crosshair VI Clock generator is great info for us! Motherboard - new Crosshair It was more clear, I must have some Ryzens and this motherboard. I was in silence, first BIOSes was not ideal and BIOS chip at my board was broked. Ryzen 7 1800X is my AIO rig. But I bought also Ryzen 5 1500X and Ryzen 7 1700X. And have borrowed 1700 non X + 1600. I tested quickly only 1800X and 1700X, a little 1500X. The main benchtable PC - 1800X inside and Crosshair with Alphacool Eisbaer cooling. Type of DRAM Im using HyperX Savage, Corsair Dominators Vengeance or TridentZ from GSkill. Unfortunatelly, all kits are not B-die. My favourite BIOS for this board are 1001 and 1002. Whats inside the box? Many good stickers :), SATA cabels, ROG SLI HB bridge, coaster for drink etc., discount for sleeve PSU cables, RGB extension cable, installing DVD, paper manual and IO cover This is perfect inovation. Crosshair VI Hero has holes for AM3 and AM4 brackets :). The board has solid digital power circuit, which is including phases for CPU=vcore+SOC part. In blue is it digi controlled 2 phases for DRAMs. Remember, if you are use Ryzen, it has 16x PCIe 3.0 links for GPUs and extra 4 directly for M.2 NVMe discs. Others PCIe are 2.0 and interconected with Promontory FCH chipset. SupremeFX with latest ALC1120A codec, some Japanese cappacitors, ampfs and separated lines in PCB Nice designed pasive of PCH. The board looks like really nice, similar as Maximus IX Hero sister. M.2 port is almost bottom, its smart, because its not between SLI/CF slots for GPUs. NVMe M.2 discs are a bit hot, specially in 512GB or higher capacity Ryzen is supporting up to 64 GB DDR4 memory (A2+B2 are primary slots). Ussually you can use 3200 MHz, but at this Crosshair board its possible to get around 3600 MHz or higher for some benchmarks! But you must change BCLK and 2400/2666 MHz in BIOS Near the 24-ATX pin on the left you can see modern front USB3.1. In this area are measuring points of voltage. And post display. OC part is at the bottom. Its change against Common opinion. I think, its better to have it on upper the right corner. Reason? If I will use for extreme OC last PCIe, after I have not good access to the buttons. At photo you can see classic START, small reset, safe and retry buttons, LN2 jumper and slow mode switch. Everything what the extreme overlcockers need to be happy. The board has support for ROG OC panels. And for casemoders there are also two RGB connectors. IO part, so many USB ports, including 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 :-D I like it. But one PS2 could be here also. Function buttons are BIOS flashback and clear CMOS. Stock vs OC AIO cooled benchmarks I tested only few benchmarks. But you can see big impact in IPC for AMD. Compared it with FX-8370 in table. I did also quick stable OC for 30min in AIDA. I got 4074 MHz with Ryzen 7 1800X. Benchmarks are doable at 4100 MHz also. Crosshair IV Formula + AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE and LN2 Few days ago I was at dealers day as ROG overclocker. I wanted test my favourite platform AMD Phenom II and new Ryzen. I started with old one, with Thuban. I must say, it was really fun and I used non tweaked Windows 7 for it. Kingpins thermal paste for LN2. Its better than I thought. Isolation with old classic method and many papers. I used also OC panel for read the temperatures and PCI post card into the motherboard. Temperatures minus 186C was the max on sensor via OC Panel. Time for some results. The cores of CPU was similar, the best cores was first, third and fifth. So for some benchamrks I could use mix of 5900 and 5800 MHz :), example for Cinebenh R11.5. I was a bit disappointed from Superpi, I thought, this CPU could be 6500+ MHz chip, but it not happens... Wprime 1024M and 32M Cinebench R11 and R15 Superpi Geekbench Max clock ( I had almost 6500 Mhz, but file is corupted) That was my Thuban And Chew* has the right in this case. This sample is really great on AIR, but only good at LN2...My 1100T BE is with LN2 better extra 300 MHz. Still, it was fun and most of liters was consumed by Thuban :)¨ AMD Ryzen 7 1700X and LN2 For Ryzen, I have not much LN2. Next time I will start with Ryzen and not with oldschool platform Ryzen setup was almost the same, I changed only OC panel for OC Panel II And I started with Cinebench R11.5. I found some interesting things. The CPU scaling very well with low voltage. I dont know, if is it normal, or abnormal with Ryzens. Example -120C, 1.44V and 4800 MHz Cinebench R11.5. I was surprised with this. Of course, the best way is start with lower BCLK and 2666 MHz RAMs, specially with low temperatures at CPU/SOC part. But I tried step by step temps down and the lowest CPU/SOC voltage. Few times I got something as coldbootbug. If I was at -180 C at sensor and working in WIndows, everything was perfect. But if crashed it, I got code for CPU. If I warmed pot up to -150C, CPU was alive and booted But sometimes crashed CPU at the same temperatures around -180C and rebooted at -180C also...I dont know what exactly happens. It was my first experience with Ryzen and LN2... Step by step I jumped up to 1.488V and last one nitrogen in thermos. 4950 MHz Cinebench R11.5 passed After I was without LN2 and temps goes up...So time for Superpi. -srry without better DRAM clocks and DRAM timings - it was dry run without LN2 Ryzen was fun also, after few first experience and issues at start I was much smarter. Repetation of Ryzen in next 2-3 weeks guys! Hold my fingers! Il need it. -

maximus ix apex Maximus IX Apex review by FlanK3r
FlanK3r replied to FlanK3r's topic in Member Reviews
No problem, now we are continue So, few days ago I was at local ROG event. It was fun. The mainpart was the 5 GHz challenge in 3 tests. You can to do 5000 MHz (toleration +-10MHz) and everything with your WIndows, RAM or cache. The mainprize was the CPU i3-7350K, second GSkill TridentZ memory 2x 4GB 3600MHz with Samsungs chip inside. So good motivation for only two teams :). Me and Aero did more extreme things. Phase cooling and LN2 overclocking. Something to eat The fight setups were built on Maixmus IX Hero, GSkill TridentZ 3600 MHz and i3-7350Ks. Guys used AIO cooling. Benchmarks for competition were Superpi 32M Cinebench R15 multithread HWBOT PRIME benchmark delided i7-7700K L643G202, my second best retail what I have. Me and Aerou used Apex board. Ohh Yeaaah Aerou isolation, classic with gume Im ready to cool down. So into the BIOS, load my RAM setups for E-die and after back to the BIOS and waiting, waiting, slowly down with temps spare RAM kits+DIM2 card with M2 SSD Crazy setup phase cooling. So weight to transfer it Aerou guy Back to classic cooling method and to guys with their setups some help of me as judge Aero is focusing, 6 GHz At my side, I did some mistake with too high PLL Core voltage and two cores of CPU died. In this monents I did not know it exactly. I started with glance, easy 6 GHz Superpi runs with 1.65V. I went go to the BIOS and tried higher voltages for PLL Termination voltage, DMI and PLL Core. OK, posted to the WIndows. Run Superpi and it frozed it after few rounds and get BSOD. I thought, it is too low core voltage. But after BSOD I cant boot to the WIndows. Post was OK, booting to the logo and BSOD again and again. I tried stock CPU settings and the same. Temps at sensor were still around the -160 C at least (if I remember right). So I thought OS is corrupted. I tried next SSD and the same issues from start. Maybe some wet? I dried the setup, remounted it and try it with "air". It not helped. With 6600K CPU everything was OK. So problem is in the CPU! Today I know, CPU is working OK only with 1 or 2 cores and something inside the CPU died... But afterall, it was fun and great day. I have still two next 7700Ks (one is very good), party will continue Main topic were with guys for guys and there are results. Team of Stratos guy won PS: Daniel (Dancop) watch you :rofl:
