Well, so far everything is still working fine. I can't believe that with the setup that I (and quite a few others here on this post), have machines that cost us $2,500 to $4,500, that it literally is on the same par of the new MacPros that cost $12,000 to $25,000+. Just amazing. My particular setup would have cost me around $33,000 for the same machine. And I've had my machine now for over 2.5 years and it's still a working powerhouse. Thanks to guys like you!!! Without you and forums like this, I would be dead in the water. I'm so glad that I have this and 3 x 28" 4K monitors working side, by side, by side. This is just amazing! I'm also glad that I made a backup system identical to my machine (just in case).
I will say that your BIOS setup is mostly like the way KGP set his up with a slight adjustment on two things:
KGP's (Klaus') setup:
b.) AVX Instruction Core Ratio Negative Offset: "2"
c.) AVX-512 Instruction Core Ratio Negative Offset: "3"
@Loloflatsix's setup:
b.) AVX Instruction Core Ratio Negative Offset: "3"
c.) AVX-512 Instruction Core Ratio Negative Offset: "2"
Now I haven't changed anything on mine, so it's the same (as it has been for 2.5 years now), as KGP set it up. So my question to you @Loloflatsix, is there a difference? Let me know. Thanks.
Good question !
But my settings are according to Kgp's original High Sierra guide here : #1 :
1.) /AI Tweaker/
a.) ASUS MultiCore Enhancement: Auto [optional "Disabled", see important notification below!]
b.) AVX Instruction Core Ratio Negative Offset: "3" [optional "Auto", see important notification below!]
c.) AVX-512 Instruction Core Ratio Negative Offset: "2" [optional "Auto", see important notification below!]
d.) CPU Core Ratio: Sync All Cores [optional "Auto", see important notification below!]
e.) CPU SVID Support: Enabled [fundamental for proper IPG CPU power consumption display]
Edit some explanations :
AVX Instruction is for 256-bit Integer SIMD (AVX) for example if your CPU speed is 4,8 GHz -2 results —> 4,6 GHz
AVX-512 Instruction is for 512-bit Integer SIMD (AVX-512) for example if your CPU speed is 4,8 GHz -3 results —> 4,5 GHz
More documented explanations can be read here : Gathering Intel on Intel AVX-512 Transitions
Silicon lottery has in the setting for their OC to be stable :
-3 AVX Offset
-5 AVX512 Offset
