Back in the war .... I remember when you could buy a mobo for £40, CPU for £100 and some ram sticks all inc for less than £200 and overclock the bugger to bits

These days, you can barely buy a DIMM stick for that :cry:

Enjoy !

So some quick results compared with my 7950X3D

9950X3D just quickly setup CO to -20

DDR 6000 @ 30,36,36

R23

7950X3D PBO - Motherboard , SOC 1.11, CCD0 -29, CCD1 -14
Multi 36,787, Single 2006

9950X3D PBO - Motherboard, SOC 1.1 CCD0 - 20, CCD1 -20
Multi 44,085, Single 2275

my multi was 41444

I don't know what CO to -20 means, but only thing I did in bios was XMP mode and something for storage devices when troubleshooting windows install.

Is there any configuration that should be done?

I also had some old 3dmark stuff, don't care to buy the new, but it has some pc spec stuff on there

What was supposed to just be a motherboard and cpu swap turned into a £2800 new pc build thankfully the wife will be at work when the rest of it arrives tomorrow so I can hide the evidence!

CO means Curve Optimiser its in the bios under advanced settings. It effectively undervolts the cores across the entire frequency range, fixed negative offset ( or positive ). An increment is either 5/10 mv, can't remember. Undervolting will give the processor more headroom to boost higher for longer due to lower temps. Absolutely worth doing.

Curve shaper allows you to tweak this offset for different frequencies. Obviously too much undervolt will cause stability at low frequencies.

I'm getting nearly 46K on R23 with -40,-40.

Try -15 and work from there

I’d be surprised if that was stable.

What are you using to test stability?

Just to add to my previous post. I have been running a load of bench marks this morning with -40, -40. R23, 3D Mark including the CPU, Cyberpunk its not missed a beat. I think where it will fail is on idle so I have used Curve Shaper on the two low setting of -30 and left CO on -40 for the rest. I'm assuming it will use the CO if the Curve Shaper is not used for everything.

Very impressed with the chip. I like the way you can dial it down on the PTT for efficiency and stupidly low temperatures. Lots of choice available.

Obviously keep testing it. I have a Nitro+ 9070 XT arriving today so there will be more testing to come.

My Path of Exile 2 was running at 40-50fps with 3900x and 4090 and dropped even further with lots going on. Now it's 60 fps, I'm only doing campaign but I've got all the settings back on high too.

Sounds like you have a very good chip. I’m looking forward to seeing what you settle on.

I have everything for my system apart from a PSU which is out of stock.

This is killing me :cry:

Sounds like you need a nice monitor upgrade next, unless you have and are limiting your beastly pc to 60fps.
I love my Asus 32" 4k OLED.

Damn right, currently using a Dell 34 ultrawide ultrasharp 3440x1440 would like something new for both productivity and gaming, nice to see no compromise solutions appearing (9950 x3d).

Might wait a good year for the monitor upgrade though, I'm supposed to be saving too.
 
Got my build finished - but I'm a novice at this.
First boot and I got a message 'New CPU installed FTPM/PSP NV corrupted...'

Wasn't sure what to do so pressed Y for yes and I got PC into BIOS.
Then I enabled EXPO and had all sorts of problems with the orange light staying solid on my motherboard and couldn't get it into BIOS.

Did a BIOS update using Asus Flashback and after i unplugged everything and plugged it all back in again, still had problems after one BIOS boot with orange light on again - then it just booted into BIOS after some time, phew!

I've not made any fan changes yet and I have a 420mm AIO cooler but its really, really quiet even under load but notice It idles at quite a high temp of around 50.

Just did a Cine bench R23 test and got 40630pts Multi core and 2202 Single core and never heard the fans spin any faster really but temp only went to 72.

The hang on orange ddr light is mostly memory training and because you have 64gb it will take a good minute or 2. You should be all ok now once its trained once.
Assume you've enables EXPO for your ram timings to be adjusted? Follow the buildzoid thread to further tune the memory as EXPO does leave them a bit loose. Let it do memory training again after ram OC
Use the temp reading in HWINFO for idle once your into Windows desktop it should run cooler.

Thanks and good to know and the RAM stuff. Done lots of reboots now getting drivers etc installed and boots fast now with no static orange light.

I have the same block and thought I would do a similar thing. I initially turned the wrong way and the screw got very tight. Those mounting grub screws are so fragile. All you can do is drill it out

Well good news I managed to drill mounting screw out and used the spare that comes with the block so all installed and fired up.
