I know the 9800X3D got it's own AGESA update. I think you need to update your BIOS prior to installing the 9800X3D. I used the flash-back feature on the motherboard I bought since I didn't have another AM5 CPU and it went smoothly with just the 24 pin plugged into the motherboard.

So my question is is the 9800x3d much better than the 7800x3d I am currently rocking, seems I have some spare gadget funds as a 5090 is not in my future.
Personally I'd say not worth it have a look at YouTube videos comparing the 2

Yes, will have a dig into it, was just being lazy haha,
9800X3D now down to £479 delivered @ OCUK, what was launch price again, £450?
Free game incentive may come sooner than expected
Pulled the trigger on a 9800X3D @ £479 today. Need this for when my 5090 Suprim arrives!
Will be using in a X670e Hero for now, until the apex and 9950X3D arrives.

umm why did u not just wait until the 9950x3d come out?
Are you doing any productive work on your pc?
Oh I'm getting a 9950X3D too, along with Apex when released. Work system will get the 9950X3D (currently using a 13900K) and gaming only system will get the 9800X3D.

Motherboard, for max RAM speed and compatibility. Better than Hero.
Search for ROG CROSSHAIR X870E APEX and visit official site to check it out, don't think I can link as it's got links to competitors there.

I bought one today too as an upgrade over my 7800x3d. I had absolutely no plans whatsoever to do this, then when I was about to nod off last night I saw a video comparing the two in Tarkov (I’m getting a bit of an addiction) so one was delivered today.
I’m so weak at resisting tech purchases in January.

You’ll want to use 64GB of memory for Tarkov too. Noticeably better FPS/Lows with that vs 32.
Stop costing me money plz.

Ok thanks. is that a brand new board? or has it been released before?
edit: brand new.
What are the PCI share lanes saying?

It's identical to the Hero for PCI-E lanes.
It'll be the motherboard with guaranteed compatibility with the fastest/lowest latency EXPO kits out of the box and also the best for manually overclocking and tuning your RAM speed.
Though be aware it only has 2 DIMM slots.
Oh God damnit
Ok so I’ll get some memory too, you know your stuff, what would you recommend to pair with it if you don’t mind helping me? No RGB please and it needs to fit under the front fan of a DH-15S.
