AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

  • Thread starter Thread starter Hostile_18
  • Start date Start date
Just setting up for the day with some testing. I managed to pick one up yesterday and collect it late afternoon.
Straight in with -20 CO and 6400 1:1 with some Hynix A.
W11 24H2
Ignore the Zen Timings voltages, it currently doesn't play nice with Granite Ridge.
Real settings are:
VDD 1.42
VDDQ 1.40
VDDIO 1.35

This is not an optimised ram tune, just a quick and dirty to get started.

Prices are just prices. Apparently the price for a 9800X3D tomorrow is £530 (assuming the place I saw has the stock they claim). At £450 none are available until December. That's just how markets work.

I ordered mine yesterday at 14:40 (work got in the way, annoyingly). I'm fairly sure the web site was saying 11th November at the time, but it soon changed to say 18th. Is there a way to see what batch your order is in?

Enjoy! I'm got some Team Group 8000 CL 38. I'm curious to see what effect 8000 has on MS flight simulator. It's a bit of an unusual workload so I figure worth trying even if X3D diminishes the efforts of memory settings. My GPU usage is pretty low with my current 5900X so I'm expecting great things either way!

Message customer services, they're usually really good at answering those kind of customer questions.
 
From a gaming perspective...

7600XT is £299.99, 7800XT is £419.99, not even gonna do the math about how much better a 7800XT is than a 7600XT in terms of performance.

GPUs get this rep all the time of being overpriced and negligible performance gains, people in here going crazy they cant get hold of a chip that is about 5-8% faster in gaming (With a 4090..) than a chip that was £300 2 months ago...

Maybe people do more than game on their CPUs...

I'm a Linux gamer running Arch Linux, as a rolling release I'm compiling at least something from the AUR every day...
I also contribute to open source software development and have to compile things on the fly from time to time.

I've been bitten by AMD's CPUs with multiple CCDs before, I grabbed the 3950X on launch, and the latency that can be introduced by two chiplets having to talk to each other can be seriously detrimental to some workloads.

So I've found that the highest end single CCD CPU I can get my hand on. I found the 5800X3D such a massive jump over the 3950X.

I couldn't justify the platform cost to move to the 7800X3D with a wedding to pay for earlier this year.

But now I'm *happily so far* married... I've just been craving some extra speed, and this was the most tempting chip yet to entice me onto AM5 :-)

I messaged customer service yesterday to ask what batch I was likely to be in, but the response I got was -
"Unfortunately, we're unable to provide batch information and queue positions. We're expecting 3 batches of the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, and our recommendation is to keep a close eye on your emails for the latest shipment information.

Batch 1 orders are due to be leaving us next week. If you haven't received an email notification confirming dispatch by the end of next week, your order will be dispatched in either batch 2 or 3, depending on when your order was placed.

Batch 2 orders will be dispatched before the end of the month.

Batch 3 orders are due to be dispatched in December, however there is no concrete information to specify when in December at this time."

Here Gibbo explains it

Post in thread 'AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D' https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d.18994330/post-37457564
 
Looking at my motherboards bios page it appears the 9800X3D is supported on any of the bios available so it looks like I won’t need to bios flash to get it running.
 
I do think that it's not just the gaming performance, the 9800x3d vs the 7800x3d has also managed to fix the only sort of weakness the 7800x3d had, which is the lower compute performance caused my the reduced clock speeds and temperature sensitivity. So yeah. I suspect these are gonna be in demand for a while. That said I think that if the 9950x3d has the same fix that thing is gonna be a grand out the gate and likely stay there for a bit. :eek:
 
I noticed a few had sold on ebay already. That's just the world we live in unfortunately. It's a CPU though, supply will catch up with demand fairly quickly IMO.
