Ocmersh

I'll give it a try. Wonder how high it'll go. 1:1 with the infinitt fabric at 4000 mhz would be nice

Thanks! Really excited. Oh and the part that I like to geek out a little about is the network drive. I have the 8 3tb drives in a dual parity raid, and I used 15 gb of my ram as lvl 1 cache and the 512 gb nvme as the lvl 2. Surprisingly quick!

Ya its crucial ballistics. Happy with the 3600 XMP profile. Didn't want to take too long on OC'ing anything, when I say 2 days it was fiddling with it for an hour and letting it run the stability test once each day. My multicore stock was surprisingly low for some reason, like 4.2~4.3. So some tweaking helped it out. 7% improvement, not huge, but voltage is decent and temps are good so I am happy. Firestrike score went from 38900 to 41500, so not too bad.

Well I do have 7 fans in it., but ya, D15 is great. Plus I didn't really OC that much, and made the scalar 1x to keep voltage low.

Pretty happy with how it turned out, got to make my dream machine, and just wanted to share. 5950x FTW3 3080 ti 64gb 3600 cl16 1000w evga g3 Evolv X case Asus Rog x570-e Noctua D15 8x 3tb HDD (Network drive, double parity) 2 Tb Corsair MP600 Core 512 Gb Teamgroup MP34 Tweaked for 2 days and 68 C max cpu temp on gaming load, and 77 C for the gpu.

Quick Info: MSI GE75-9SG Laptop, Win10 PRO Until about a month ago I would get 4 - 5 hours of battery life, Now I get less than an hour. CPU is 0-1% usage at idle CPU power (while at idle) is 7 - 10 watts, previously was 0.2 - 1.0 watts at idle. This constant high idle power has tanked my battery life. What i've done: Tried uninstalling Windows updates from the last two months, via admin cmd, and via windows software utility (Two keep reinstalling upon boot, OS wont let me block it: KB4515871 and KB4532693) High power usage exists in Diag mode/safe mode without networking, running only windows services. (No background programs running, hence the low cpu utilization) Re-flashed BIOS. Any input, suggestions, questions or feedback are appreciated. Really frustrating to go from a pretty decent battery life to next to nothing. Thanks.

Wish they would review this laptop. It rocks! Anyone else pick one up? I just got it two weeks ago and am excited about it. Its about 5.8 lbs 1"(ish) thick. A totally different experience than my 17 r5. I can actually tote this thing around! (Note these scores are with LM, and temps get a little toasty. Mid 80's average for combined intensive GPU and CPU loads)

Just tried that and it helped.. I used thinner pads on some sections and laid off the thermal compound on the pads. Got my original offset back, although the boost is still about 50 MHz short. But I can live with that. Thermals are better to for the core, as I removed the tension spring screws and replaced them with standard screws and just finger tightened them.. I wouldn't have thought that little of difference would have mattered. I probably should have left the manufacturers compounds in place. Thanks for the tip.

Better for the CPU. Same for the GPU. They use those crummy retention springs for the GPU so I don't know if I am getting enough pressure. But at the worse. mid 70's under load.

After applying Thermal Grizzily's conductonaught on my gpu I had to replace the thermal compound that Aorus uses on the memory and mosfets on my X7 laptop. They use a thick toothpaste type substance instead of pads. I had some extra thermal pads lying around and tried to make sure that there was no extra pressure on the memory modules or mosfets for the 1070 that is soldered to the mobo, or the voltage control for the cpu. I replaced the compound with a little bit of thermal paste on each module. Now my GPU is boosting alot less, to like 1830 instead of 1970, and wont hold my frequency offset of +135, and now on +100. Any ideas? I thought that if I had damaged something, the results would have been more serious. It was overclocking great right before I did this, now it's "Meh".

Repasted with artic silver 5... didn't have any thermal grizzly left. Didn't change anything with the CPU, however. GPU is still as cool as a cucumber. Well... now I gotta get more screws... nearly stripped the ones there, I wasn't using that much pressure. I don't want to over torque the screws and damage the die... I checked out that review and it looks nice, might make me feel confident enough to use that liquid metal stuff. Right now I am running a stress test at 3.7 GHz, with a - 165 mV offset, hottest core is in the mid-seventies with fans at like 65-70%.

I even ran a sensor test using prime95, this was only with the speed set to 3.5 GHz: Anything feedback would be great. The only explanation I have for the massive disparity between core 1/2 and 1/3 is lack of contact between the die and the cooler... I just don't see how that could be though given that it was performing fine before and I haven't touched it.... (don't have anymore past available atm... otherwise I'd have just reset it.)

I tried TS. And now I am having problems that I just can't explain. I dropped it to 4.0, with a 0 offset, and now I am getting my temp on one core literally pegged at 100C and throttling. I tried switching back to XTU, and it idles in the 30's and then when a load engages it jumps straight to 100C. Any thoughts? (its core 0 in particular). As per my OP, it was working fine... I am wondering if there is lack of contact between the plate and the die... Can the thermal paste shift after placement? I tested it thoroughly and the temps a week ago were pretty consistent.

So i found my Kill A Watt, and during the valley benchmark it was pulling between 180-190 consistently, peak was 200 watts reading from the wall, with over clocks in place. So think power is good, if anything that could be a little extra headroom . I am not sure if there is an efficiency curve to take into account, for example I know that a 900w PSU under peak load will actually pull around 1000w from the wall, as its rating is for what it can put into the system, not pull from the wall. If you treated the adapter the same way and assumed it was 80% efficient, you could say I was actually pulling around 160 watts from the adapter. I remember reading on another forum elsewhere that they use the same 230w brick for the gtx 1080 x7's, and people were complaining because they couldn't overclock them more because it exceeded the 230w limit. It doesn't look like that is the case here. (part of the reason why I went for this one, I was nervous about a 1080 drawing to much power)
