Man, many thanks for your hard work. I spent whole day yesterday using dram calculator for zen2 on my 5800x [zen 3] and played around to no avail. Ended up going back to 3600 14,14,14,30,70 for my stable Will use your method when i get home later and see where I land

Curious about this as well.

Manual overclocks and XMP profiles past 3200Mhz resulted into no boot, I couldn't even get into windows to check on the WHEA errors At 3200Mhz and below there were no issues, had looping 3DMark Timespy tests back to back for like 2 hours. Now at my 3600Mhz CL14 [Manually tuned off of the XMP profile] I'm not seeing any Whea errors, it's weird though how some were getting them and some weren't

Thanks for defining BETA for the users here. The site is really slow atm, don't know why. In any case for those with x570 or b550 boards go to the link. I am able to use my XMP profile 3600mhz CL14 as opposed to being limited to 3200mhz previously

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/msi-x570-b550-beta-bios-update.348919/ They released new BETA bios that fixed the FCLK instability.

Nah you're not going to be able to..

4 sticks of single rank ram is identical to 2 sticks of dual rank ram Provided you want 4 sticks, you'll have the optimum setup, do not go 2 sticks of single rank ram.

As far as I know, generally speaking 4 sticks of SINGLE RANK memory and 2 sticks of DUAL RANK memory is best Followed by 2 single rank memory I don't know about 4 sticks of dual rank memory

Thanks! Let's hope for this BIOS update to allow 2000Mhz FCLK My ram is supposedly getting really good OC so I'm hoping for some nice clocks/timings.

Ok so generally speaking if I can hit 1:1 mCLK and FCLK I don't need to worry about much else in terms of IF tuning? [ram timings aside] Or would it be better to see how far my FCLK can go based on silicon lottery and try and OC my mCLK to the optimal number? [300Mhz more than FCLK]?

I never knew about this.. Once the XMP issues through bios factors are fixed, my cl14 3600Mhz with no no additional overclock as FCLK at 1933 to be most effective? I thought it needed to be the same for that 1:1 efficiency Edit: Oh and 1800 FCLK as well I see. Wait im so confused now

Isn't your testing a moot point? There really is no benefit to go beyond 3200Mhz if the FCLK can't keep up right? Or are you doing testing just to try and diagnose where the specific problems come from? Not being argumentative just curious as im learning things as I go as well

I see a lot of users on Reddit with WHEA errors too.. I can't make out if its BIOS or Hardware related but I guess it'll be known to all once the fixed BIOS comes out and people are still get WHEA errors.

You seem like one of the lucky ones. With the specs in my signature, I can't get past 3200Mhz on RAM or 1600Mhz FCLK

I feel bad for their building and employees but not for their lack of preparation and testing of the bios before release. People are saying the previous 1.0.8.0 AGESA are having less issues.

Vertical GPU Mount works, and the 3 slot GPU when vertical leaves about 2-3 cm from the glass panel [which is acceptable in my opinion]. Underneath there is about 2-3cm of vertical spacing as well. It's pretty solid - the only problem is with some bios issue with my x570 unify board I'm getting some issues so I've temporarily removed it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MSI_Gaming/comments/jpvxz4/the_bios_incompatibility_for_zen_3_is_being_under/?sort=new A lot of people with similar issues incl myself. Still no response from MSI or from their mods on reddit. Such bad PR.

Yeah I ended up fixing the problem without actually "fixing it" I removed the motherboard and set up a makeshift test bench and it turned on fine, then added in all my peripherals one by to see when it would have a boot error but it never resurfaced I imagine it might have to do something with either the motherboard having a short or the pc case causing a short resulting in the failure shown above I won't be buying a mid-range case anymore that's to be sure, everything is so tightly packed in there it was hell just to diagnose anything

I've seen on videos [especially on GamersNexus] that the rad should generally be below the pump, does it not matter in custom loops systems?

I presume they would sell additional stoppers for spare parts.. I don't plan on doing hard tubing so I guess I could just soft tube to link up the inlet/outlet as well for the same effect right?

for the quantum version here is the layout

Nah that the fill port at the top and the drain port at the bottom

Either planning on using either of these from EK

Have an O11 Dyanamic ATX size and I already have a AIO for my CPU. Wondering if its possible to use a distro plate to create custom cooling for GPU only I'm thinking I just need to plug the inlet.outlet for the cpu holes on the distro plate and have the following connection/flow GPU to DISTRO/PUMP to RAD/FAN back to GPU while obviously plugging up the CPU inlet/outlet.. anyone done this? Or would I just have a tube connected between the inlet/outlet of the cpu holes in the distro plate? If you're wondering why, I'm satisfied with my current CPU AIO and I don't see any AIO solutions for my current GPU [colorful game 3090 advanced OC] as the gpu fans can get quite loud under load.

Just to be clear CPU > AIO > CPU GPU > DISTRO/PUMP > RADIATOR/FANS > GPU This is possible? I imagine I could block off the cpu inlet/outlets but I've never seen anyone do it like this - for obvious reasons I suppose
