It took a bit of effort but I finally made it to the very top of the scoreboard with 7800x3d/5080 combo in Port Royal, Steel Nomad and Speedway.
Now I can finally start playing games again.
I run PBO -39
FCLK – 2133
BCLK – 102
Used Buildazoid's lazy DDR5 Hynix A/M die OC and tweaked it further.
VSOC – 1.26V
VDDIO and the likes set to 1.35V
In case anyone was wondering the setup is built almost entirely of open box / used parts. The GPU is stock air cooled, Ambients are over 73 in all benches. Had to use BCLK because I was too cheap to buy a Mobo with ECLK. I'm using what was at the time the cheapest DDR5 6000 CL30 M-die kit. The fanciest cooling solution in this setup is Arctic's LF 3 Pro 360, the only budget AIO that is worth anything
Mobo: Asus Strix B850-F – Open Box $212 at BestBuy
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3d – $335 deal on Amazon
RAM: Teamgroup T-Create Expert DDR5 6000 CL30 (Hynix M-die) – $82 on Amazon
GPU: Asus TUF RTX 5080 OC – $961 Open Box at BestBuy. Flashed to Zotac Apocalypse vBIOS, because I like it.
Case: Tower 600 – mounted vertically with AIO on the right set in exhaust, GPU on the right with 3x120mm TF120 set as intake aproximately 3 inches from the GPU fans.
PSU: MSI MAG 1250AG – Only got this because of the 5090, otherwise I would've ran the stock Thermaltake 850W one.
Case Fans: 2x140mm Thermaltake fans (The stock ones that come with the Tower) mounted on the bottom, set as intake
2x140mm SilentWings mounted at the top, set to Exhaust
Is now a good time to make a case for Diamond Sample Bin, or what?
