8Pack back to answer your Zen4 Ryzen 7xxx and AM5 platform questions.........

[8 Pack]

Hi all... We have been testing this for months.... Overall its very solid...

Check out my video that covers a lot of tweaking options for different loads as well as some benches....

I will be answering as many questions on here as possible so smash em in this thread..

Will also post screens of what I have to answer Q's.

As a professional overclocker I would not imagine you are that concerned about the lifespan of a cpu but some of us are.

My question would be. Are you concerned the lifespan of the cpus will be shorter than we are used to by the chips sitting at 95C by design ?

CSGO benchmark map results. All low. 1024x768.

Everyone benches CSGO at 1080p, pointless.

I thought the real pros play at 800x600 on CRTs still?

I did some pretty low res benching with upto 20% FPS increase vs 5900x and 5950x.. WIll need time to pull those screens though..

It's just frustrating to see reviews Play CSGO at 1080p high to "fully stress the CPU" when there are lower graphics settings available

CPUS degrade with mainly voltage rarther than temps. As temps go up on these frequency drops and thus the needed voltages. I am fine with this SKU at 95c under low loads and by using OC switcher you can save upto 10c and gain performance at very high loads.

I obviously do care about 24/7 stability I not only have my systems and bundles to warranty I also have a big B2B following all wanting the best relaibility and perf 24-7 365.

Agree only the lowest posible settings work actually 3D mark 2005 is also amazing for this as every CPU mhz works as does all memory tweaks etc... really CPU bound....

Given how hot these chips are running and that they are supposedly within design parameters to run so hot, what would you recommendations be for cooling? is 360mm AIO a minimum now? Also have you been able to undervolt these without damaging the performance too much to mitigate some of the heat?

 

[8 Pack]

7900X and 7950X ideally 360 AIO, lower SKU 240 AIO minimum.

OC switcher style tuning on the higher SKU keeps all in check... If you watch my vid I explain this but you can save 10c under heavy loads.... Also a negative curve on PBO2 helps save temps....

Obviously the better the cooling the more low load boost for gaming.

 

[Jumper118]

Any chance of being able to overclock ram to 8000mhz like Intel or is it still to early for that?

I honestly did not try that.... Its not something we would do for systems... I am going to do some XOC of all this stuff around Jan so will try that then... IMC does seem good as does new IO tech.

I can confirm even 6400mhz working with 1:1 IF divider.... But sadly perfromance not really improved over lower frequencies as latencys take such a hit at these speeds... Literally 1% better 5400mzh to 6400mhz or 1.5 tops...

Whats your overall thoughts on the 7700X? From the limited stuff im seeing the 7700x is looking to be on par or slightly better than a 5800x3d. What are your thoughts on the 7700x and its gaming potential?

In my Video I cover this..... OC all cores to 5.4 to 5,5ghz and its a monster.... The best gaming CPU bang for buck bar none... better than x3d no worries..... At these clocks for us on 240mm AIO even doing looped real world blender rendering so hours long 100% runs temps below 90 too....

ZennyS getting more FPS to get back into CSGO... I'm waiting.

 

[8 Pack]

I am very confident a tuned 7700X or 7600x is beating all on CSGO......

For a 7700X would a Dark Rock Pro 4 be good enough or does it need to be 240 AIO? Cheers

 

[Andromeda1983]

Do you think its going to be reasonably difficult to run these chips in a silent system?

 

[jrwagh333]

Seems impossible to get the full performance out of these chips in an ITX chassis like the Dan A4

It will work yes but will it allow max PBO2 boost I dont think so...
