AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

As stooeh noted, I'm giving temps above ambient, not absolute. Fully idle for me is about 40 degrees absolute, 45-50 absolute in light tasks, about 75 under heavy load and up to about 80 under synthetic testing.

I see, so this is (very similar to) throwing a bit of old-fashion FSB overclocking into the mix and forcing the CPU to run at am (up to 44.5x) multiple of the ECLK?
Pretty much, but you can manipulate the V/F curve at specific points, for specific types of loads, based on MIN/MED/MAX Temp, Frequency etc. It's a lot to unpack at first, but can be very useful once you get the hang of it.
 
This is not posible without delid and direct die water cooling
It is if he is using asynchronous clocking. He is on an AIO as far as I know. And he has a gene motherboard. And you don't get those motherboards unless you want to clock the nuts off it.

@LtMatt when is the 9950x3d out? I am bored already.

I guess that because I'm asking the processor to up frequencies for a given ECLK multiplier, the basics are I'll need to reduce the negative Curve Offset or Slope. Which is what that portion of the video seems to be saying (cheers for sharing at that timestamp). So perhaps I'll dial back -25 CO to -10 or even 0 and see where I can get with ECLK.

It's intuitive how curve shaping and offset would fit in. Also upping permissible TDP etc. This reminds me of the good old LGA-775 days :)

Would the 6000-CL26 RAM kits be any good for people don't want to OC/finetune?

G.SKILL Releases Low Latency DDR5-6000 CL26 & CL28 Memory Kits
There's really no point. Cas Latency is not important on AM5 compared to intel setups.

There is a cookie cutter finetune guide which works for all A/M hynix based mem. It will lower your latency and improve on memory performance. Hell even I just copy and pasted and it worked for me and I never muck about with secondary timings.

Got a link?
 

This is the one I used.

@LtMatt so after seeing your post about the curve shaper (vf curve?) I went about mucking about with it. I must have done some wrong as it no longer downclocks to low speeds. So it either runs at 4850 (idle!) or 5600 :P
Yes. I believe I noticed similar. At least, certainly higher clock speeds than normal. However, it doesn't seem to cause an issue as far as I can tell. Still figuring it out myself. tbf.
 
My 9800X3D has been up and running since boxing day without any issues so happy to say its all ok at stock.

What would be the best settings to use for PBO and Curve Optimiser?

Got a Gigabyte X870 Eagle, 32GB of C30 ram and the 980X3D is being cooled by an EK AIO (240mm Rad)
