Yea. Seems like it’s a great chip. I have a lot of testing to do. MC SP is 77, but I understand that doesn’t mean anything so I am likely to try that 8400 kit too. Thanks.

Nice chip Hopper64 👍

 

That's a sahweeet 14KS Mr. Hopper. Reset your bios, don't add a standard all-core CPU overclock, go to Extreme Tweaking > Thermal Velocity Boost > Overclock TVB and click the OC +2 profile. Save and exit bios and see if you don't have 6.4Ghz TVB boost on ALL your 8Pcores. Not 6.2, but 6.4 all 8Pcores boosting simultaneously. 

I'm super curious to see if the TVB OC +2 profile works on really good 14KS chips like yours, as it does on good 13KS chips, of course your 14KS will boost to 6.4Ghz, while my 13KS only does 6.2Ghz all 8Pcore.

Only takes about 10-15minutes - please give it a try - for the sake of humankind, lol 😆

Thanks ROG brother. 😉

Here's my 13KS with Encore with TVB OC:

WOW! That's a great CPU Mr. Hopper! Outstanding results. 🤗

Make certain you have no tweaked voltages, a clean bios with no additions at all TVB oc only. 👍

6.4Ghz on 3Pcores is what I see - Woohoo, congratulations man, you got a great one. 😍

Nice results Hopper,

Can you open HWiNFO64 Sensor Status, show with R23 bench run results,..

Need to see R23 bench at default settings. 👍

Mainly want to see default Maximum Digital Thermal Sensors DTS, Enhanced Sensors, Core VIDs, and Vcore.

Working on it Braeg……

This is the best I can do currently. Running into stability problems. ??cause. Using AI OC in bios but not stable. These are from the first runs:

The stability issue might be bios 9902 which is a test bios. Not sure yet. I might flash 1101 again to see if stability is better. I am getting over 100C when using TVB 2 core so I need to wait on a better cooling solution such as a DD with Thermal Grizzly DD block. I think that’s a few weeks out. AI OC is also an issue with heat as was expected.
