Hi Benjy
Sorry for the slow response
I also will be getting the x299 platform and received a email that my parts are coming into stock this weekend.
So soon I’ll be back in the game.
From what I understand with the x299 platform is that overclocking can be a tricky thing, power and heat can be a issue.
Lots of cores at high speed is awesome, however does come with drawbacks.
When oc’ing on this platform thermal and power throttling can reduce speed even if the multipliers appear to be kept up. It seems that performance can be automatically internally reduced to keep stability. The cpu’s turbo features can also fluctuate depending on thermals/power limits, this may be part of the reason for your results. Bios’s are immature etc… so in time things will likely get better. I’ll post some of my experiences too.
I have not been sleeping re benchmark, a few 100 lines of code have been re-written.
A few more things to tidy up and I’ll upload a new revision soon. The Cache drive part had me stumped, I have spent a good few evenings just trying to figure that part out, however via the command line it is not easy. I finally do have a fair work around though so I will be implementing that. I’m a bit of a perfectionist on this project (no one would guess looking at the messy code). However I’m really trying to get it working correctly rather than just release something buggy.
I’m glad it’s proved of some use so far and nice to see the spreadsheet:)
