oh God it's not longer in watts
I canceled the test 5 minutes in since I am sure the UPS would have started to send a shutdown command to my PC. I need to get a new UPS...

PC Rebuild for dad's birthday (Fractal Design North XL Momentum x Arctic LF3 420 Pro)
So I figured out a way for this to work, It looks really stupid but I have a reason for it. My dad has my old H510 case from my old NZXT prebuilt. We buy movies and rip them to put onto our Plex servers so we can watch them anywhere at anytime. Due to this his PC is never off, and he refuses to turn it off. I brought the idea of a PC rebuild to my brother and he liked it and is paying for half of it while I assemble it. He currently thinks it's a build for a new client. He does have Reddit but he doesn't look here. Hopefully it stays that way.
So for the 2 140mm below I found a weird way to mount them, by using a ratchet I can screw them in from under. I need these massive fans since he also used a very high end 10gb ethernet card which gets extremely hot. Noise is not an issue since he works in the basement next to 2 of the Plex servers, main and backup. The weird 2/3rds pull-push is mostly for looks since he like RGB lights now while having room for 2 HDDs.
What is marked as purchased is what he already owns. And he currently has a 3060 Ti. The 5070 was gifted to me by a guy who came to my PC shop for a rebuild and OC. Is this overkill, ya, but why the hell not?

customer wanted 200S boost enabled, but told him I can do it manually
The final score was 9749.
When 200S boost is normally enabled, it locks down a bunch of BIOS settings like spread spectrum. So, I enabled it manually by just setting the NGU and D2D to 3.2 Ghz, some other minor tweaks, and set the wattage to max. And now his Ultra 7+ is more powerful than the stock Ultra 9.
I then did a bunch of stress tests that took 2 days to complete. The guy is blown away.

not the best, but I have had huge gains on games
I am using an ASRock X870E Taichi with a Ryzen 9 9950X3D and TUF 4090 OG OC. The CPU is over clocked and undervolted pretty well. I am able to get to 5.75 GHz on CCD0 and 5.925 on CCD1. I wasn't able to push my GPU too far. Unfortunately, it's only +800MHz for the core and ram. So the only thing really holding me back was my ram. I am using a G.Skill 64GB (2x32GB) CL26@6000MT kit, specifically the 1.45v one, not the better 1.4v.
​
1st - my timings, not the best, but they work!
​
2nd/3rd - HWiNFO stuff. Pay attention to Temp Sensor 2 and Chassis Fan 4. I have a little temp probe pressed against my ram stick, and the 4th fan header is for the Jonsbo NF-2 cooler. I set a custom fan curve in the BIOS for it, so the speed maxes out before the ram hits 50c.
​
4th/5th - in-game screenshots
​
6th - my pc's ram cooling
​
7th - original timings, a glitch did not let voltages be seen in them
​
In Battlefield 6, a month back, I remember getting 130 to maybe 140 fps in the firing range, now 145 to 153. All my settings are cranked to the max, and I am using DLSS on quality. In Helldivers II, there was a much bigger difference. I went from 150 to 174 on the front of the ship. I know it does change by planet, but I have never gotten over 160 using native with everything maxed out.
​
Really didn't expect a different that large. But yet these games are more CPU dependent. In Pragmata, I did not see any change at all.

ROG Flow Z13 2025 running 93w flat! No external cooling!
Clean Windows 11 Pro install, GHelper (0.251) and AMD Adrenalin only. I know the laptop was running at 93w since my UPS showed a total power draw of 180 to 185w.
Ghelper settings, Full Send Profile: 93/93/93W, max fan speed, -40 undervolt, 97c TJmax
Took apart the tablet 6 months back and replaced the liquid metal with Thermal Grizzly Phase Change. Definitely would perfom better with a proper LM application, but I don't think it would be much better.
48h idle stable, 12h AIDA64 stable.
