I have before, very very little to be gained. This core hits a wall at 2.8ghzVery nice and respectable Chud.
But don't you ever want to unleash the beast and let it loose with a 400W power limit and go balls to the wall?

I will be interested to hear how you get on with your 6900xt vs the 3080Ti with the Quest 2. (two nice computer setups!!)
Ye, its fitted with a Bykski block.Water cooled?
The TUF is a decent cooler too going from end user reports.Ye, its fitted with a Bykski block.
If you go to page 87 #1721, there's a pic on my old board.
I did my brothers Asus tuf 6800xt with a Bykski block the other month too, massive temp drops for him too. 25-30c down on the massive air cooler!
Ye it's a big lump lol. Has thermal pads on the backplate too which is nice to see. I added pads to this Bykski backplate on the rear of the core, vrm and vram. Really helps to get heat off the back of the PCB.The TUF is a decent cooler too going from end user reports.

Look at anbd admire those deltas between edge and junction under heavy load with the Toxic using liquid metal.I repasted my Toxic again with Silver King Liquid Metal and I got my delta between Edge and Junction temperature down to 5-7c peak under 350-400W load. Absolutely delighted with that outcome.
Actually the target computer has a 3060ti as its for one of the kids after all so that will be the main use, I was making it sound like it was for me !

In fairness to Airlink it is still in the experimental stage and it is getting better with each update.
Before Airlink came out this year, you really had nothing else only ALVR or AMD Relive for the Quest. Both were and still are terrible compared to Virtual desktop. The Dev of Virtual desktop is still active. He is still bringing new features and fixes to Virtual desktop. He has setup a discord channel and is always willing to help out...
...Yeah, I was always in the AMD camp until I got into VR when it became clear that Nvidia gave a much better VR experience. AMD have mostly caught up now though with the 6000 series apart from their H.264 encoder
Not bad at all. What power limit is that using and what is the card drawing (wattage wise) under heavy load?@LtMatt Just re-pasted the GPU with Kryonaut since I dont have LM at hand. The stock paste was not covering the entire die and looked like it they barely put anything in there. I'll test in a few mins.
Edit: So Watch Dogs Legion was taking it to 62-63C and over 70C on the junction before the re paste, now it was maximum running at 56C, and junction was moving between 64-66C. It seems I shaved a few degrees off.
Ah cool, just on with the Forza update 15.43GB and then I'll give that a bash. See how the clocks are on this driver vs the last 2 as it was loving 2700MHz in forza on 21.11.2 and then seemed to be happier at 2550/2650 on 21.11.3 set vs 2650/2750.21.12.1 drivers word of warning memory does not downclock. Filed bug report.
Scratch that the factory reset option ticked solved it.

Great result well done.Just had a near panic attack this afternoon repasting with Liquid Metal. I bought myself a Corsair HX1000 PSU to give me a bit more headroom and decided at same time to LM the Ultimate (and wave my warranty good bye).
Power supply fitting went fine. Although the switch on the PSU has me a bit confused as its the 12v SINGLE or MULTIPLE setting. Single all 12v rails are free to grab as much as they can, MULTIPLE limits each to 40A max. Googled this but could find
anything conclusive or recently (2021) so left it on default.
Already had experience with LM when I delidded my 8700k. This time I was extra careful with all precautions taken. Went well it seems assembled back power on PC, no display.
Panic creeping in it tried various things nothing. Calming down took it out and disassembled. The spread on the heatsink didnt look right, not enough contact then I thought first time I
put the screws back in the wrong sequence (GPU 4 last) so could be that. Respread existing LM on both heatsink and GPU, assembled it again, made doubly sure the PCIE plugs were
in securely, panic starting to build, turned it on and..................... YES a display. Phew. Panic over.
Set my Radeon Software to 2500-2700 on core, 2120 mem, +15% power and ran Timespy. Where my hotspot would shoot to 105-106c on the 2nd test it now maxes at 89c! (GPU temp 63c down from 73c)
Tried Superposition 1080p Extreme and hotspot maxed at 89c with GPU at 69c, previously I think GPU was 79c. So far its been a result.
Are you sure you've done it correctly? Under feature control you need to enable Temp Dependent VMIN option.
Yes, That is the process that I have followed. I can see the voltage going up to 1.206 mv in HWinfo. Also, with default voltages, HWInfo never reports anything above 1.175 which is not the case after applying voltages and GPUz is reporting 1.262mv as well. I am puzzled ?Are you sure you've done it correctly? Under feature control you need to enable Temp Dependent VMIN option.
