Not sure if you typed a response but it doesn't seem to be appearing

Hello guys,

I have a GTX 1080Ti FTW3 Hybrid that I have overclocked to 2.1GHz. I recently noticed that my GPU no longer downclocks to 139MHz like it used to while idle. Instead it only downclocks to 607MHz. It's not a big issue, but I guess it's kind of annoying and I was wondering why it is doing this? I just updated my drivers to the latest ones, however I noticed it randomly started doing it when I had drivers that were released in March.

Edit: I should add that while idle my GPU usage bounces between 1-5%

Edit again: Desktop WIndow Manager and Client Server Running Process seem to be using about 2-3% of my GPU usage, but I don't think that's a reason for it to be stuck at 607MHz?

Each CPU is uniquely different -- the CPU "silicon lottery."

The motherboard also plays part role.

 

It looks like the Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) within your i7-7700K is better than the IMC in your i7-9700K.

DDR4-3600 can only be obtained by overclocking the CPU's IMC.

i7-9700K is only rated up until DDR4-2666, which does not require overclocking.

 

Try this:

• Enable XMP for DDR4-3600 frequency, so the timings + voltages are set for you
• With XMP still enabled, MANUALLY set the DRAM frequency to...say... DDR4-3466 or DDR4-3400.
• See if any of those lower frequencies are stable

 

Ah yes, I forgot about IMC. I just assumed that these newer CPUs would just somehow be better built for higher RAM frequencies lol. Anyways, I’ve been running it at 3400MHz now and it seems to be fine. I’ll run it for the next few hours to be sure of course. Kinda sucks that I can’t use all 3600MHz, but I suppose it’ll only be a difference of a few frames in games. Thanks!

not sure, i have never seen XMP I or II; what changes when you select one over the other

(From the ROG forums):

“XMP I - Board optimised timings

XMP II - Default XMP timings”

XMP I is the same XMP profile found on older ASUS motherboards.

Is it recommended to use XMP I or XMP II?

Well, first of all, have you upgraded the BIOS at all? Memory compatibility tends to be more stable on the latest revisions. Also, did you tune the voltage on the RAM so it might help stability? I haven't had luck running it on auto myself.

Another thing, if you OCed the CPU core clock instead of the multiplier, that might cause memory instability as well

Yes, I have the BIOS updated. I’ll try upping the voltage, but I ran 3600MHz with stock (preset) voltage when I was on my Z270 board with my old 7700K. As far as the CPU overclock, I did use the multiplayer, however even with the CPU overclock disabled it still crashes.

Hi,

So my pc has a 9700K running at 4.8GHz, a ASUS Maximus XI Code, 32GB of Corsair Dominator platinum ram (rated at 3600MHz), and a EVGA GTX 1080Ti FTW3 Hybrid. I’ve had an issue where my PC crashes when enabling XMP (I’ve tried XMP I and XMP II) since I upgraded to the 9700K, but until now I’ve just ignored it run at stock RAM speeds. I’m not sure what to do. I’ve tried disabling my CPU overclock but it still crashes. Any tips?

Hello, does your RX 580 have a BIOS switch?

 

 

What did you mean here? It is connected to the PSU right? How many watts is that PSU?

Not sure about the BIOS switch. I’ll ask him later.

Basically, the manufacturer of his pc (I believe Cyberpower), didn’t provide a second 8pin power cable, so he can’t swap out the cables to see if the previous cable was causing the issue.

No problem. If he really wants to be certain that it's the GPU causing the issue, and not the motherboard or the PSU, he could always test with a different GPU if you or someone else he knows has one he could borrow just to see if the computer boots with it inserted (this isn't a guaranteed way to test though as sometimes drivers can cause issues when inserting a different card and it won't boot anyway). I'm 99% sure it's the GPU though if it booted without it since this is the exact same thing that happened to me.

I would totally let him borrow mine, but unfortunately he moved to Texas and I live in Tennessee. I don’t believe he knows anyone near him with a pc either. His motherboard has onboard troubleshoot LEDs, and it also indicates a problem with VGA card. So I think it’s safe to say the GPU is dead  .

Didn't make sense for me either. Mine just randomly died as well. I managed to RMA mine and get a replacement. Hopefully your friend can as well. Is it an XFX RX 580 or is it a different brand? If it is an XFX, I can totally help if your friend has any questions as far as how to RMA the GPU and get a replacement.

It’s an MSI card, and I believe it’s out of warranty anyways. I suppose it’s fine however, since he’d been wanting to upgrade for a while. Thank you for the help!

It could be. My RX 590 died and was shorting out the PSU, causing it to shut down to avoid damage so I couldn't turn the PC on. Try taking the GPU out and see if you can at least turn on the PC and have it light up. It will still boot up without a GPU even if it doesn't have integrated graphics. You just won't have any video output. If that doesn't work, then it's something other than the GPU causing the problem.

The rest of the computer does power on. So I guess it really is a gpu issue? It just doesn’t make sense why the GPU would die for no reason..

Hi guys,

So I’m trying to help troubleshoot my friend’s PC over text messages and I’m stumped. He has a cpu/mobo swapped prebuilt with a Ryzen 2700, ROG Strix B-450F motherboard, RX 580, a 1TB hard drive, a 2TB hard drive, and a semi modular power supply that he has no idea who the manufacturer is. We think the GPU is dead, because when he turns on the pc, it doesn’t light up and there’s no signal on the monitor.

He’s tried reseating the gpu, but it was to no avail. I told him to use a HMDI cable from his motherboard and connect it to his monitor, only then to remember that the 2700 doesn’t have integrated graphics. He can’t try a different power cable for the GPU because the prebuilt’s manufacturer only included the cables that were needed for the computer (there aren’t any spares). Is there anything else he can do to troubleshoot, or should he just call it and say the GPU is dead?

Make sure the older version was completely removed, it might require you to go into the folders to ensure all the accompanying files and folders are gone. Not exactly sure why it wouldn't install like that.  

Removed all previous versions and tried again. Still no luck. I’ll try ASUS support tomorrow and if they can’t help I suppose it’s not a big deal. 
 

Thanks though.

Try this one from their support page there is the an update from 2019 to 3.00.52

https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-XI-CODE/HelpDesk_Download/

No luck. Still tries to load the InstallWizard and then does nothing after.

Just now, W-L said:

Download the latest beta version I believe it's still 3.00.13, if you had a windows update sometimes I've had it completely break AI suite. 

I have 3.00.23 installed actually. Still doesn't launch.

Make sure before unzipping the folder you right click into the properties and click unblock, if it isn't done so the installation will not run properly. 

I just made sure to unblock it and extract it again. Still, when I run the Setup's for both AI Suite 3 and DIP5, I get a loading message proceeded by nothing happening.  

Hi guys,

So I have a ROG Maximus XI Code motherboard, and on the desktop it has a gray circular icon that you can click to open Dual Intelligent Processor 5. So earlier today I tried opening DIP5, and it wasn't working. So me, being as smart as I am, decided to uninstall AI Suite 3 entirely. I went to the ASUS support page and redownloaded what I thought was AI Suite 3. However, after extracting the files and running setup, it simply launches EzUpdate. From there, I tried installing DIP5, however after doing so, opening the DIP5 folder, and running Setup, nothing really happens. It loads something for a split second and then disappears. Sorry if this is worded very poorly, but how do I properly install AI Suite 3 and DIP5?

Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure what you're referring to by "dynamic" overclock. If you're looking for the frequency to lower under less utilization, make sure that intel EIST (AKA SpeedStep) is enabled. C-states also play a role in reducing power utilization when the CPU isn't being utilized much.

Yes, that’s what I mean. I don’t want all cores at 4.8 even at idle. I just enabled EIST and I’ll look into C-states. Thanks!

Hi guys,

So I just finished overclocking my 9700K. Stress testing right now but it seems to be stable running 4.8GHz at 1.25v. I could probably lower it down to 1.225v, but I’m happy with what it’s at now. However, this is a static overclock, like the overclock on my old 7700K was. I was wondering what specific things I should change to get this to be a dynamic overclock? I already have the windows power mode set to balanced, but what about the BIOS? 
 

Thanks!

Hey guys,

Been a while since I've posted on the forums. But essentially I upgraded from my 7700K to a 9700K over the summer and it's been performing really well. I've been wanting to over clock it for a while but haven't had the time. Luckily, corona quarantine offered the perfect opportunity. I'm just looking for a mild overclock, only 4.8GHz on all cores, but I have no clue what voltage I should start with. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Hi,

So my friend is building a new pc and has a problem where he doesn’t have enough RGB headers on his Asus B450F Gaming motherboard. He wants to connect the rgb cable from a AMD Spire cooler, Thermaltake Pure 12 ARGB fans, and one for his case, however his motherboard only has 2 RGB headers. I’m pretty rusty when it comes to this stuff because I haven’t been that involved in the PC Building word for the past year, so what should he do? Are there like RGB Header splitters or hubs? He wants everything to be able to sync with Aura sync. 

Hi guys,

So I noticed that my PC is using the Selective Startup mode for Windows. I think I set it to this when I was wiping my GPU drivers, but I'm not sure. Should I change it to Normal Startup, or keep it on Selective Startup?

Update: I replugged in all my power cables to the motherboard and that didn’t seem to help. I’m about to reseat my CPU.

Do you still have your old motherboard and CPU? Try the PSU in the old system.

I have my 7700k, but not the old motherboard unfortunately.

If replugging in cables and reseating my my CPU does not help, I’ll probably end up heading on out to Best Buy tomorrow and buying a relatively cheap 600watt PSU, just to make sure my PSU isn’t the problem. If that doesn’t work, I don’t really know what else to try . I’ll probably return my motherboard and CPU... I’m not sure.
