Anyone running DCS on M.2 SSD?


Recommended Posts

My batch is L733C478, I hope I can do 24/7 5.2 after the delid.

 

Right now I am running 5.0 with 1.25 Adaptive Volts, all other volts are forced to default manually, as Asus puts them way too high if left in Auto.

 

I need a new Bios anyway to tune it any better, the 2 new ones frpm yesterday suck as well, no XMP, RAM stuck at 3200 for now. That really sux.

 

Until they dont run 3600, any OC is onoy valid that much as it make a big difference what speed your IMC runs at. 5.2 or 5.4 at 2400MHz is a totally different game than 5.4 at 3600 or even 4133. The higher the CPU runs the harder it gets to get fast RAM working as well, at least this was the case with Z170 and 270

BitMaster,

 

Your batch number is very good and for sure you will hit easily 5.2 1.36 or even 5.3 at 1.44 after deldding

 

see on the following forum where people share their info on a German site on the following link :

https://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f139/oc-prozessoren-intel-sockel-1151-coffee-lake-laberthread-1175411-230.html

you will see your batch is a very good one

Iam tesing with 4 kit gskill memories 320014/3600 16/4000

already ran with my second CPU before delidding with 4000 on a hero and Formula

Well, I tested occt but that beast uses avx (typing 1 hand, baby on other, sleeping hehe , no caps ).

I can prime at 5.2g with 1.275v, my stable 5.0 and 5.1 only need 1.250v, llc2 and no extras elsewhere, de facto, i force all vccsa vccio, stanby dmi etc etc to defaults, not by auito but values. it just produces more heat at phase extreme and 140% cpu current allowance, plus dmi at 1.3v, sa and io at 1.3 and 1.35..etc... Asus really should lower those lines. 30-40% too much juice.

 

occt either crashes when i try to go so low with volts that it doesnt stop it due to temp limit reached, i guess that is a occt-safety feature. I am 99% sure I can run 5.2 at 1.275 or lower once delidded. but as long as i peak into mid 90'°C occt halts the test...before it crashes.

 

My ram is giving me a hard time, or Asus, they dont like each other yet. 3200cl16 still max it will go and pass all tests. 3300 and 3333 will cause a bsod after 1-2h....sigh.

 

caseking..cmon, send me the plans and i get it milled/cnced in my street next door...lol.

this is a simple delid block, no rocket motor, cant understand it takes weeks n weeks to get it in stock.

 

my 960 evo also is suspicious, sometimes i have the feeling it locks down for a sec or two, then goes on. i flashed the withdrawn faulty software, came out same day i got the nvme, bad luck, unpacked, installed, ..and flashed the bad firmware ( 3x.. version ). one ? i cant exclude till samsung releases a fixed fw.

 

btw..that forum from link hasa rather harsh tone among its members and they fight about stuff that is not worth it, childish behaviour I'd say.

but its nice to see that 1.25v-5g is a good value, not the best but good for more :)

inspired by all those low-volt gems I am down to testing 5g-1.2350...slowly coming down and cooler too...

 

yaaaawn...need a coffee :sleep:

 

edit: worked for an hour, now down to 1.175v and still running. Adaptive 1.175v, no Offset.

 

I actually wonder what Volt value to count, the highest HWinfo spits out ? The one AI-Suite says ? OCCT ??

 

Which values do you take ?

 

edit2: it passed OCCT for 1h with 1.175v adaptive @ 5G. Peak core was still 91°C ( guess this is the AVX tribute ) but the average temp is well within a safe region. Only thing UP from default is LLC2, the rest is defined with default values, not Auto.

 

Compared to my 7700k, this is worlds better.

 

edit: 1.175 worked..now 1.150

--> crashed, actually freeze screen, after 20 secs.

 

Gonna settle for now with 1.175 LLC2, rest fixated defaults @ 5G for a non-delid CPU...that is something ! Will let it run again and take a screenshot.

 

Tho I have some question you might have an answer for, but I need to leave and fix a DSL down the road

If you can cancel the order, just get it from Rocket Cool? https://rockitcool.myshopify.com

 

Unless there's additional duty or you just want to support your Berlin HQ'ed company (which is understandable)

My first built is almost finished ,I got Asus Formula x but it doesn't recognize any of my 4 kit memory nor Dominator 3200 SEneither G-Skill RGB 3200 I have to call an other technical man on configuration in order to see why the motherboard acting like this neverthelzess I have another Formula IX with no issue

I don't understand whether Caseking sent us a bad maiboard or other people has the same probleme

the technicalman who has built the watercooling didn't conduct a test before building and so should we change the mainboard or not I dont know

Z370and 8thgen IMC seem to be tricky. ROG forum is full with people having issues with fast RAM across the entire line up of Z370 boards .

 

3200is max my 3600 will do. Tried again for hours last night, ::: lots of settings and some voodoo I tried..no luck..no matter what magic you pull, they refuse to run 3600 properly.

 

 

The board is real nice elsewhere, just XMP sux big time.

 

Apropos: Nice built ! :thumbup::thumbup:

I have far too many USB brackets, Tsensor, etc etc. on my board to even try such a sleek clean look. Where to with all those cables.

 

I may make a pic to show you what my tool box looks like, dont PANIC :helpsmilie:

 

 

When I tell you that I cut my case apart internally to make room for my former Maximus Extreme Z170 E-ATX board ( looks aweful tbh ). Next thing I want is a nice tower...with front-HDMI and 4-6 USB3/c jacks in front !!!

BitMaster,

even with RAM 3200 either Corsair/G-skill no matter 14cl or 16cl ,the Asus maximus x Formula does not recognize the memory

I'm fed up with these band of MF ......and unscrupulous who fool the people by putting their garbage.

 

I bought it from Caseking and I don't know how resolve this issue ,does mine is like that or all other Formula has the same issue

and what is the best mainboard for 8700K?

I had LOTS of bad luck with recent top tier boards and finally went with a "cheap" Prime Z270-A for my 7700k and that board did what the 500+€ boards would not do, run without flaws, BSODs and corrupting firmware, counts for Asus and MSI, to hell with those 500€ boards, they are far far too packed and dense, even the Apex struggles with not-so-ripe Bios's.

 

I went "half-way" between Maximus Extreme and Prime at the other end and bought a Strix series for the 8700k. I have to say, the Z270-A Prime had a Q-COnnector but less stickers, this Z370 230€ board ( like 100€ more ) has MORE stickers but no Q-Connector...what a shame Asus. Back to Grammar School and do it again. Stickers over useful items, LEDs over stable Bios's.

 

Look how often Asus Aura gets an update, RIDICOLOUS ! a shame indeed.

 

WHen I had those 3 boards in 2 month that all bricked...I sent the whole damn stuff back to mindfactory and got me the said 7700k/Prime combo, new RAM, new everything, I returned the whole lot for refund and ordered it all new, Z170-->Z270. That worked.

I used a Z370 Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Gaming with my 8700K (@4.9Ghz)

My RAM runs at its stated speed of 3866Mhz with my board, no messing about

 

Great board does what I need and a decent price, I am not a big fan of Asus mobos (lots of experience of encountering problematic ones)

 

Is the RAM you picked on the RAM QVL list for that board ?

No, it's not on that list, but even if it was, people have problems with it.

 

A Asus staff member called Raja confírmed the "rushed" release and "teething" problems to me in a thread.

 

This is the success of Ryzen torpedoing my Bios :megalol:

 

 

and yes, GIGABYTE is on the very top for my next board, the TR4 DesigX was on my list for the 1950x but then I went 8700k and Asus. Maybe the wrong move over time

I think all this,is about lack of QC =quality Contrôl with their state of mind =greed and earn money.

With all respect to all Chinees friends all these items are "made in china" with no QC you can fall easly and more than before on a bad item and also what Bitmaster mentionned in his message is right that is to say , I am experimentingthe same thing a 500 $ mainboard is not necessarily better a than a 150$ one.

I will return this one ain order to exchange with another

Even so, I myself have a Formula IX, it is just perfect I just don't understand why it does mess around like that with the Formula x

gholi,

 

I had the exact same board, Formula X on order at Caseing when it was not in stock yet, as was the 8700k. While I waited and discussed what I ordered there were many saying exactly my own words, DONT overdo it with the board, save the 220€, skip the new case as well and thus buy the Rift on sale.

 

You know what, know that I hear how badly it performs, I think that was a good decision to cancel the order and get a cheaper ( half price ) board and the Rift instead.

The lesser board again overtakes the premium SchnickSchnack board.

When I read people having issues with an Apex, it is like " my Porsche wont drive faster than 45mph!". Heck, any Isuzu is faster. You get what I am trying to say. The time where LEDs count more than a stable Bios are HERE !

 

A nice memory Kit costs easily more than most boards, those 32GB kits now run anywhere 500-700€ depending on speed and latency. You freak out if they dont run at rated speeds, it's a

MUST or ones soul cannot rest, at least that is how I feel.

 

The machine must be a machine first, do it's job, serve the purpose, if she does that well, she gets a polish and cleaner looks if possible.

Right now I dont see the need for LEDs if my XMP wont run, Bit's flag is half down ;(

 

I spoke to watercool.de, regarding my missing VRM watercool blocks, they actually start producing VRM blocks again due to the newer boards with such a high amp load that it does make sense again to watercool them. I have 2 x 120mm fans facing down on my VRMs now to cool them, that aluminium thing does get more than warm if you dont actually cool them, so I miss the Formula feature, but rather get those blocks myself and loop them. Actually all I need are 1 or 2 matching base plates, I already got the blocks from a watercool Z68 kit but never used them on that board.

 

They should focus on stuff that makes sense, include Q-connectors with a 230€ board ( Grrhh ! ), leave LEDs away and put "OUR BIOS WORKS" on the box, people will buy that over "We have more LEDs".

 

....and dear Asus: please dont place the CR2032 under the 1st PCIe-16x where people put their GPU in. It is enough hassle to take an air cooled one out, it is still somewhat easy for me with Koolance QC's on my tubing..but people with hard tubes better dont OC their RAM too far or they find themselves taking it all apart to get down to that battery. Luckily the worst mine did yet, was to force me to shorten the pins, battery still inserted for obvious reasons. I deactivated DimmA1 and DimmB1, BAD MISTAKE !! no boot at all at any speed or setting & and no self recovery, it stayed black forever... that was last night between 1 and 3am. Bit fiddling the RAM settings, learned a lot but lost the battle, not the war tho!

Iam tesing with 4 kit gskill memories 320014/3600 16/4000

already ran with my second CPU before delidding with 4000 on a hero and Formula

 

 

How do you define and read those voltages ?

 

I can use adaptive and actually set what I want, HWinfo and other tools tell me my peak is always WAY higher than what I set. The most I can lower peak VID is by 0.025 maybe, from 1.4xxx down to 1.37x while running OCCT. In idle I am at 1.39x at 5G High Performance Energy Setting.

 

Either that Bios overrides my input or I dont get it. I put it to manual, dialed in 1.275 and 1.30 and still ended up at around 1.375-1.4

 

Trying to go as low as possible first with 5.0 before I go as high as it flies

Well, i left at the first page.. I'm happy that you enjoyed after that.:megalol:

 

I suspect it will be plug and play but have drivers to get the best from it. But I will be keen to hear how your stuttering goes. This is the reason for my upgrade that I am busy sourcing parts for, based on an 8600k. Sick of stutters in 2.1 Normandy, NTTR is not too much a problem. Keep us posted please :)

 

Cibit and whoever reads it:

 

 

Here is my report.First thing's first:

Before i buy anything i decided to check what's in my rig.So it turned out that i have an M2 Sata already.(128 gb)with OS on it.And one good old 1TB hdd.As i didn't want to mess with the OS i decided that hdd has to go.The good thing was i had an 2.5" one.So an SSD would be plug and play.After few readings/ comparisons between Samsung 850 and Crucial, i've got 850 EVO 500GB.

Back up->Copy->Paste. All was done in few hours.(230 gb copied).

First thing i did was to click on DCS 2.2 which stuttered lately, i had a good performance but still stuttered.Long story short:

 

Buy it guys.Loading times improved.I've got no stutter no tearing whatsoever.And best of all i could get the effects back which i turned down in order to minimize stuttering(shadows,flare, ground textures).I realised that actually i have a decent rig with one bottleneck -at least for me- :HDD.As a note i'm not using deferred shading because of AA and AF problems.The game now looks good and playable.(34" 1080p ultra wide monitor).

 

I hope these help or give an idea for the interested.Weird thing is some people complaining about stutters although they have SSDs.That solved my problems.

gholi,

 

I found the reason why my low voltage isnt accepted by the Bios/CPU. Asus has a statement on their OC-page. In short, every CPU ( 8th gen at least ) has a dialed in factory preset for MINIMUM voltage for ANY given multiplier, which means, that if you have an excellent CPU it might well be that you could lower the volts and still be stable "IF" the CPU would allow it. It won't. The only thing you can do is an Offset, or pure manual and VSID off, like that.

 

I seem to have such a CPU, as I can dial in 0.9v and it still wont crash, the CPU will hover at its minmum Volt for 50x multi, no matter what I dial in.

 

Once new Bios's are out, they float around as Beta in some forums already, I will further invest time, till then, MINE BABY MINE....

 

 

to be read here, excellent info for Z270/370, tho Z370 is even more a lil *itch ;)

Before i buy anything i decided to check what's in my rig.So it turned out that i have an M2 Sata already.(128 gb)with OS on it.And one good old 1TB hdd.As i didn't want to mess with the OS i decided that hdd has to go.The good thing was i had an 2.5" one.So an SSD would be plug and play.After few readings/ comparisons between Samsung 850 and Crucial, i've got 850 EVO 500GB.

Back up->Copy->Paste. All was done in few hours.(230 gb copied).

First thing i did was to click on DCS 2.2 which stuttered lately, i had a good performance but still stuttered.Long story short:

 

Buy it guys.Loading times improved.I've got no stutter no tearing whatsoever.And best of all i could get the effects back which i turned down in order to minimize stuttering(shadows,flare, ground textures).I realised that actually i have a decent rig with one bottleneck -at least for me- :HDD.As a note i'm not using deferred shading because of AA and AF problems.The game now looks good and playable.(34" 1080p ultra wide monitor).

 

I hope these help or give an idea for the interested.Weird thing is some people complaining about stutters although they have SSDs.That solved my problems.

 

Had to read through a whole hijacked thread to find the answer :) Glad it helped anyway. An M2 will probably be my next upgrade :thumbup:

Hear hear, according to Asus, Intel Z370 has the capability to run 2 NVMe ---now listen--- DIRECTLY ATTACHED to the CPU....all they need is an update, aka Intel opens the bag and lets us have it.

 

Where do those PCIe come from ?? Have they been there all the time, just not activated ?

 

So it is not a 16+4, it's a 16+4+4+4 in the end, if Intel ever releases that feature.

 

 

It's somewhere on the Asus Forum, stated by Asus officially...and it's not new news, but cant find it right now otherwise I'd link it.

Was hoping to get a deal on some storage this wkend. This is all very confusing though.

 

I have 6 SATA drives in use. One of them is ssd the rest hdd.

 

I assume that is the max SATA drives i can have.

 

But what if a buy NVME?

 

will that be additional storage space or replace the sata?

 

 

Mobo manual says

 

2 x M.2 Socket 3 with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280(PCIE 3.0 x4 and SATA modes) and type 2242/2260/2280/22110(support PCIE 3.0 x 4 mode) storage devices support *

 

* When the M.2_1 Socket 3 is operating in SATA mode, SATA port 1 will be disabled.

* When the M.2_2 Socket 3 is operating in PCIEX4 mode, SATA port 5. 6 will be disabled.

 

 

So does that mean i can't use M.2_1 Socket 3 for NVME or does it mean if i use it it won't disable anything?

 

Also what if i use the pcie slots with one of those converters?

You can use an m2 pcie x4 drive in 2.1 slot without anything being disabled as long as you run it in pci-e mode. There are both SATA III and PCI-E m2 drives.

Right so in this case..

 

* When the M.2_1 Socket 3 is operating in SATA mode, SATA port 1 will be disabled.

* When the M.2_2 Socket 3 is operating in PCIEX4 mode, SATA port 5. 6 will be disabled.

 

The M.2_2 is just taking ports 5 & 6 because its just the way the mobo is setup but i can use the M.2_1 & also use my PCIE x 4 slots with an adapter as additional space as long as i'm using the NVME SSDs.

 

It may make sense for me to purchase a 1TB NVME then & put my OS on that & free up a sata SSD for putting some games on.
