Always update for new CPUs. Chipset, BIOS, Windows, etc.
Well whenever I change mobo/platform, I basically reinstall from scratch always, but as this is literally just a drop-in CPU replacement, I wondered what was necessary beyond the BIOS.

Is anyone experiencing problems with core temp on the x870 and 9800x3d? Mine is constantly reporting a core frequency of 1666mhz no matter the load, it seems to be reporting temperatures correctly

only core temp and nothing else? if so have you tried updating it
ALWAYS update chipset drivers. The CPU will likely run fine without updating them, but it is surprising how much difference they can make.
A couple of years ago I noticed horrible performance in a few games and couldn’t diagnose why. Took me ages to discover that it was the chipset drivers.

Yep running the latest version, also running HWinfo. I have always ran them both without problems or conflicts

its not really recommended to run more than 1 monitoring software at the same time, just because it has worked doesn't mean it cant cause conflicts, what does hwinfo say? its most likely fine and just being reported wrong especially if hwinfo is reporting correctly. if it was running at the lower speeds you'd notice sluggish behaviour
Some more memory testing for 9800x3d

Good god, Intel is so far behind in the rearview mirror, AMD will need some high-powered binoculars to see them
Pat will never live that one down, it will go down with overclockers dream in tech folklore.Good god, Intel is so far behind in the rearview mirror, AMD will need some high-powered binoculars to see them

Have to say the packaging has gone downhill since the 7000 series.
Admittedly the old style was a bit unnecessary and wasteful but it at least felt nice and premium with the big fold-over flap with magnetic catch.
Now we just get a basic cardboard box a third of the size.

Much as I generally like HUB, I have to admit I can't see why this was necessary. We all know the 9800X3D murders the 14900K, did we really need yet another video on the subject?
Does feel like HUB over-do it with the benchmarks and comparisons sometimes.
