Where can I find the Intel Performance Pack for 24H2?
I’m pretty sure the Lenovo P5 is W790, so it won’t support any EMR CPUs; only the “refresh” of existing SPR CPUs.
Some of the “refresh” SPR CPUs actually have the same stepping as the original SPR CPUs, they were just binned a little higher.
You.need tge version for your CPU. support.lenevo.com will provide the version based on the machine you enter in. Its under other downloads.
I had noticed the refresh SPRs and was pretty disappointed. As you.mention, they just seemed like newer steppings of the same.
Lenovo made commentary for the P5 and PX that it is supposed to be long lived with EMR on the roadmap. My hope is thats still the case. Machine is pretty good otherwise.
At least the 2500 and 3500 models don’t appear to be on Intel’s known issue page.

Wendell said he was going to do an overclocking video with the refresh chips, and that supposedly there were some intangible ‘fixes’ that made them measurably faster in a number of ways. Including a much better memory controller.
Not sure what happened to that video. @wendell
I was due to get the updated 60c but that never materialized. the 4 channel CPU is really smokin fast though and uses way less power so has more oc headroom.
I was a bit disappointed they cost so much on Newegg… can routinely find trx50 cpus for 30% off MSRP and that’s the deal

I just got 4 kits of the 24Gb vcolor RDIMMs and they come with little heat slugs on the RCD and the PMIC which I believe are nickel plated copper:
These RDIMMs shouldn’t need any cooling since the DRAM chip count on them is so low compared to their surface area.

Kinda BS that we get to be guinea pigs just for Intel to release a “fixed” version, and do nothing for those that already paid (a lot) for these.
i was able to put some WR
with proper bios tuning and good cooling on proper MB it flies
also i did some gaming tests with a friend who is experts in video games and it was quite nice (w7 2595X)
but still pricy
Sill gaming on x299 here :o I’m still hesitating between waiting for next gen workstation xeon, or go 265k. I know it’s not the same plate form at all, but I’m gaming more than working on my main pc now … but quad channel and homogeneous cores is great… Aaaaah …
Has anyone found any difference between the Asrock W790 WS and the Asus W790-Ace for cpu and/or ram overclocking?
Regardless of need… Feels like these modules cost so much they should always have a heatspreader for looks, rather than just a slug of metal out of necessity.
I think the general consensus has been the ASUS board is better all around for memory overclocking specifically.
Pricing wasn’t too bad, about 120USD per 24GB stick… I almost went with the lower binned 16GB sticks because vcolor sells them for 59USD per stick which is getting close to the price of UDIMMs.
Yeah but all the UDIMMS selling at 59/16gb come with heatspreaders. $120 gets you 2x16gb G.Skill Trident Z Neo ARGB 6400MHz CL32. It’s a joke to pay $120/stick and not get a heatspreader.

I have a 2455x, 2495x and a 2595x. There really is not any difference between the three chips besides the core count. OC’ing is the same across all the chips and just depends on silicon lottery imo.
I’m not done tweaking on this 2595x, but this is where I am at for now. If you don’t need the threads you can OC higher disabling the hyper-threading. It leaves more room temp wise and requires less voltage.
I am using the Asus W790-Ace board. 128GB 6800MT’s ram @ 6600MT’s 4x 32GB sticks kingston, Iceman cooler water block. I am also 48hr stable in Karhu memory test. I could not get Karhu stable at 6800MT’s.
