AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

I'm amazed you got 18C difference - as long as there is good surface contact and properly applied thermal paste the offset difference should be fairly minimal at that scale.

The active cooling part of AIO's is normally a bit over 1 inch squared in the centre of the cold plate, because of the way Rysen chips are packaged the hot bit, that being the core CCDs are under the edge of of the IHS, the active part of the cold plate doesn't quite cover them, moving it down 3mm or so fixes that.

Arctic them selves have illustration of this but i can't find it right now, it looks something like this, it does make a notable difference in temperatures, i don't know about 18c, that seems high to me too but 5 to 10c? probably.

damn it 9800x3d is f/s now in mm

The new chips are not aimed at gamers nor the gaming segment. They are built for professional uses and applications.

It's a waste of money mate.

Plus you will have to fiddle around with making sure that games run on the ccd with the vcache.

Unless you have professional uses for the chip don't bother.

It's a maddness.

People really "upgrading" to one of these from a 9800x3D for gaming only?

I hope you're playing one of the few titles where you'll actually notice a difference :cry:
