It's alive!

Nice new clean Windows 11 installation, and now lots of reinstalling!

And I can't believe how quiet it is, considering there are 10 fans in the system (albeit two of those are in the GPU and silent at idle)!

And the Phanteks P600S is absolutely the best case I have ever owned or worked in, really a joy.

What's the cooler under the gpu?
 
Anyone else having BSOD when enabling XMP on a Tuf Z690 D4 with 12700k?

Every time XMP is enabled, upon next restart it always BSOD and needs to recover windows. Perfectly stable with XMP not enabled.
 
It's early days for Alderlake bios, so I'm sure there will be a few bugs to iron out. I had a Ryzen motherboard, where the early bios wouldn't recognise xmp timings, and they were perfectly fine when entered manually. Also don't forget the xmp voltage (if different).
 
Definitely set the RAM timings manually. Most board vendors have had/may still have XMP issues and even though my mobo maker has confirmed a BIOS update with XMP fixes, I still run the manual timings. I also turned off dynamic memory timing mode and set it to "Fixed" as I suspected a RAM config issue since games kept crashing to desktop randomly and has been fine since turning that setting to fixed from dynamic.

Funny, I just started to reply to one of your earlier messages this morning, in part seeing what your AIDA64 Mem benchmark was like for latency and lo and behold!

That latency is not too shabby at all; are those the same sticks that you were running on your 9900K that did around 35ns if I remember correctly?

If you want to try you can try with DXO Photolab 5 trial and the details and preset are still in this thread here. AMD vs Intel Single threading? (post no. 163)
