AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

I was just about to click buy now. I’ll wait it out, no hurry or need. Was gunna be a play thing.
 
What sort of temperatures should I ideally be looking at with J2C boost settings? It's showing 54160MHz at 90c running cinebench.

Try -025 or -30 PBO and set +200Mhz for max boost override, scalar x10, and set PBO limits to Enabled. This should pretty much max out performance using PBO and you'll get clock speeds up to 5.425Ghz. A real quick and easy overclock that should be plug and play on all samples.

So scaler 10x is not detrimental to the chip?
 
Testing a new memory tune, and we've passed 261MBs in Karhu. :cool:

It depends on your cooler and rest of the cooling.

Mine with a CO of -35, +200Mhz boost has my 9800x3D hitting just under 80C with Cinebench R23 at 5.45Ghz. But it sits underneath a Noctua D15 G2 (LBC version) and using offsets. Prime will send it to low mid 80s.

I've got a corsair H115i pro AIO sat inside a Phanteks Evolve X case.
 
Probably the best system upgrade i've done in a while, using my RTX 3070 while waiting for a 5000 series card and I can tell a big difference in every game just how much smoother it is compared to my old Ryzen 5 3600 setup, don't notice much of a big difference with non-gaming but I only really use the PC for normal use and work but overall gaming side I thought i'd think it was a pointless upgrade.

Glad to see I just waited until the initial rush died down and bought at right time at £499, not moved much on either side of this
 
Got mine installed tonight, what a weapon it is. Massive upgrade over my old 5800x, even runs much cooler.
Every game is so much smoother, 4090 can finally stretch its legs now. Done 5.2ghz out of the box so I'm happy with that.
I've gone from a 4690k to a 9800X3D so yeah, I agree...
:D
