That is a great CPU score Mike Now get a Nessie Clone and become King of the hill.

I can get no more than Attachment 138891

Unfortunately, I can't afford or at least in no way justify Nessie or anything close to it. I don't play any of those games that it's needed for. I got this Rx 460 just so a GPU wouldn't hold whole system down. It can do even 2D stuff at over 800MHz while old one wouldn't go over 400. A lousy GPU can put brakes even to most basic actions. CPU, RAM etc. does a fast job on something and than whole system waits for GPU to display results.

Board updated

Mike I can't let you stay ahead of me, just because you have new and better hardware
Seriously, all I did for this run was use a high contrast theme, and in Advanced Settings\Performance Options, I set it to Adjust for best performance

Attachment 131603

This was my last bump i had in April.
This after noon I decided to go into BIOS and turn off XMP, and switch to Memory Try It!(only way to make manual changes to my RAM), and manually set tCL, tRCD, tRP, tRas, tRFC, tRRD, tRRD_L, tFAW, and switch the default 2T to 1T.

In April using XMP, my Memory Mark was 3664.2, after testing stability in AIDA64 I ram Memory Mark and got 3704


I'm going to run Mem Test64 from techpowerup, now and see how it pans out.

Well so far all I see is lower results ....even your memory....But Good Luck Cliff. :)

take another look Mike:
OLD: 3664.2

NEW: 3704

That's a 39.8 point plus

I think the 1T helped you for sure Cliff. Do you have the formulas for the secondary settings you set?

I'm not sure what you want Doug, as this is my first foray into the dark arcane arts of Memory overclocking,
but below is what I changed from the Memory Try It! profile for 16CL 3000MHz, to what XMP would show(with XMP turned on I cannot view all the settings in BIOS).
Everything else is set to it's default, be it a value or Auto.


1T @ 1.35v

tCL- 15
tRCD- 17
tRP- 17
tRas- 35


tRFC- 390
tRRD- 6
tRRD_L-8
tFAW-33
tRC- 52

What I ment was compared to MY scores Cliff....:)

I gave up on comparing to you since you bought new hardware, sorry

Just wait until I get my new mainboard, AIO cooler, PSU(for the MSI Gaming M7 I'll need a ATX power, and 8 pin & 4 pin CPU power cables, my current only has the 8 pin as that's all my Z170 PC Mate needs)

Plus I'll see if I can get the CPU De-lidder from der8auer, and use liquid metal(might even do my GTX 1080 Aero for the few degrees it lowers, if it isn't made with aluminum(the Gallium problem))

But all that will take some time to get.
