I think you can increase the voltage a little then lower the latency. You should try to place a fan over the RAM because it will get hotter with more performance but ARMA eats up lower latency fast ram along with high IPC cpu. Do a search online for your RAM model and type in OC to see what settings other have used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should the gap really be that big? What am I doing wrong? Considering ordering a 4000CL15 kit for myself Well, your 12600K has 1/3 cache less than 12900K. Cache size boosts FPS. 12900K is OC'ed to 5.4 GHz. He has disabled the E-cores, since they reduce FPS by 10-15. Your 12600K is only at 4 6-4.7 GHz. He has the best RAM there is. You RAM is below average. And he hasn't even tuned his RAM - it runs at XMP. So more than 128 FPS average is possible, like 135 or 140. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dadax 12 Posted December 22, 2021 Thx for the advice to @Groove_C Followed the following steps: 1 Lowered CPU Voltage 1.34V 2 Did some RAM tuning (see bleow - not all is done) 3 Used the new malloc will continue during the holidays... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Screenfacer 2 Posted December 24, 2021 What version of windows are you using? Upgraded to 12900k(5.2GHz) and 4000CL15(Gear2) and only managed 107fps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has it at 5.4 GHz cores and 4.9 GHz cache, Win 11 and his RAM is not CL15, but CL14 and most importantly - it runs in gear 1. Gear 2 ruins the performance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My current system runs on an i7-7700K, oc''ed to 5GHz - so I presume there indeed is quite a bit of headroom to be gained these days, if I'm reading things right? Me too. I need to upgrade this new year, so interested in as many results as pos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, but when you share your YAAB results, you have to mention CPU model, cores and cache frequency, Hyper-Threading on or off, E-cores on or off, BattlEye on or off, RAM frequency, primary timings and 1:1 or 1:2 mode, for everybody to be able to understand where the FPS comes from. Because sharing FPS only and 0 info is not how it works here. Nobody should have to guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horus 83 Posted January 6, 2022 Update your bios and see if AVX512 still works https://www.guru3d.com/news_story/intel_will_disable_support_for_avx_512_on_alder_lake_processors.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dadax 12 Posted January 6, 2022 THX for the link @Horushttps://www.igorslab.de/en/intel-deactivated-avx-512-on-alder-lake-but-fully-questionable-interpretation-of-efficiency-news-editorial/ This article also adresses the question - should you update your z690 board, probably very likely with a DDR5 board. I dont see the need for update right now - it works very fine with AVX512 and DDR4. If I had a DDR5 board I believe i could profit from future updates, will follow the patchnotes. Addition: I just checked the MSI website and its support section. The same BIOS update is offerd, that I installed. I also compared the file size, it is identical. This is the BIOS version that enabled the AVX512 option in the BIOS after disabling the E-Cores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horus 83 Posted January 6, 2022 If in next bios MSI add that new microcod you have UBU tool to fix that. edit: and don't forget that M$ can also update MC with some of the updates. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
