AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

I see the price of the 9800x3d is slowly creeping upwards. £539 today.

It's not surprising though

It's a uniquely gamer focused CPU, and it's the best of its kind.

Even if I wanted to upgrade from my 5900X, there's literally nothing but the X3D chips I'd consider because the X3D chips are uniquley better at gaming

Because of currency rates certainly not because of greed or anything nefarious

I recall seeing Youtubers say the price would have dropped by now, turns out it's increased by over 20%

Most likely due to no stock still, once its back in stock and available more often it may drop

There are also more advanced methods like LTMatt mentions here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d.18994330/page-128#post-37560090

Heh I read his post and then gave it a whirl. it works and is easy enough to besides one thing. It doesn;t clock down that much. So now mine runs at either idling at 4850mhz or going HAM at 5600mhz posted about it to matt and he had the same thing as well. Lulz

I kind of like the efficiency of this PBO 'overclock'. But inevitably I'll end up using ECLK, chasing that extra 4% performance and be stuck in HAM mode like you guys.

It can go beyond that. That's just teh tip of the iceberg. Is it worth it? not really. Is it lulz and fun hell yes

Make sure to tell us how far you make it

Is it the dreaded Afterburner issue? People have been finding problems with the 1% lows if they use Power Monitoring in Afterburner.

No I am not using AF mate

Tbh I am gonna wind it back to normal levels. It works fine and it been a blast. But I have other tinkering projects that need my attention. I can't wait to get my hands on the 9950x3d. 9800x3d is sooooooo 2024...

Does anyone have issues with 1%low?

I have found random frame drops in VR when trying to tighten up my RAM.

It's a 64GB 30 40 40 96 kit that runs EXPO I or II well but the Asus "EXPO tweaked" setting isn't quite stable. The EXPO (non-tweaked) give me AIDA64 latency of 80-81ns.

I got excited when the "tweaked" timings got me into the low 70's and passed stress tests, but one lap around the Nurburgring gives me a couple frame drops. -not a lot, but repeatable. Straight EXPO I or II are both fine though. -Smooth, lap after lap.

I have since turned my attention to lowering RAM-related voltages and use a Nurburgring lap as my first "stress test". Once I find the lower limit on voltages with no drops in VR, I will try some standard stress tests before finishing up.

I also tried the "legacy" mode and got similar results to "EXPO tweaked" RAM....Lower latency but dropped frames in VR.
