I went higher as Karath suggested, it was stable at 5.1Ghz at1.26V, highest temperature sits at 86℃. I am pretty happy with this result and would not go higher. I just ran IBT again for stability test, but the GFlop is still around 117 at 5.1Ghz.

Sorry I was out of town for a while. The CB 15 score is 2157

I decide not to worry about it as long as the clock and temperature is fine.

It even won't work at 5.0Ghz for 1.25V and 1.3V. Quits right awat. Probably its not a voltage problem.

When I run it, it says "Linepack binary stopped unexpectedly. This could be a result of missing executables, unstable system, or a software bug." So is this caused by insufficient voltage?

I am trying to find out what happened now. I just downloaded a random IBT v.2.54, I do not know if it's the AVX version, or its too much RAM slowing it down.

Using an NH-U12A aircooler. The result is stable for 10 min. VID at 1.314V but I set the voltage in BIOS for 1.215V. Temperature is mostly at 53-65C range but sometimes reach to over 70 degrees. I think there might be room to go lower.

So I should go for lower voltage as long as the overclock is still stable.

Sorry that I am kind of a noob to ask this. So I had this Intel 9900k. It is able to run 5Ghz at 1.215V stably. I read and watched some overclocking guides online, one form MSI told me to run 5Ghz at 1.3V, and a video had me tried 1.25V, then I reduced the voltage a little by myself. But these guides did not mention information concerning to how voltage could affect the overclocking. Should I go for a higher frequency at a lower voltage if possible? I mean is there any point to run 5.0Ghz at 1.3V when I can do 1.215V? I think lower voltage is related to a lower temperature, so should I stick with 1.215V or go a little higher?

Yea I know that, I got a AMD 2600x build, which is like $900...Just for the peace of my mind so that I won't think about that all the time XD

Got two air-cooled EVGA 2080ti ftw3 ultra, so they're pretty thick. Trying to learn how to build a PC on my own, with almost zero knowledge. Took me some time to save up for this.

Hello Everyone I'm building my PC now, the are a two problems about the motherboard choice. I want to build with i9 9900k, so probably will go with z390. But here is the problem.The PCIE slots for the majority of Z390 boards are 3 slots, which make my two 2080 Ti too close to each other with the Nvlink, I feel it might overheat under loads, would that be a huge problem? Another problem is that most Z390 boards have no plx chips, and the X16 PCIE slots are 16 / 8 / 4 lanes. Would that hinder the data transaction to CPU from the two 2080 ti cards ? Also, if two of the slots are 16 lanes, then the plx chip would be unnecessary right? If both of those would not have significant effect, which z390 board to choose? Gigabyte Designare?Gigabyte Aorus master? EVGA Dark? If the problems will have some impact on performance, then is there better solution? Thank you

I'm kind of a noob here, sorry if this question is dumb... If I'm going to buy a 2080 ti and install a custom water-cooling block, does it matter which card I choose? I know that the chips are all from Nvidia. I wonder if the cards from Nvidia/Gigabyte/EVGA etc. has different materials, or it's just difference in cooling parts and power supply to the chip? Will there be performance difference with the cooling fans uninstalled? I feel it's a waste to buy $1300 2080 ti Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme and dismount its good looking fans...

Hello everyone I am building up my PC right now, got a few questions about the NVlink. Using a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master Motherboard, and planning to put 2 Gigabyte 2080ti Xtreme in the system. I noticed the NVlink bridge has 3 slot and 4 slot, which is the one to choose? How many of them should I buy?
