AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

So..

Core Clock + 200MHZ
PBO Negative -20
PBO Enhancement 80C

And doing a Cinebench run it's maxing out at 81C, with average of 5300-5400mhz

Games are around 50-65C

Sound about right?

How are you testing stability for Curve Optimiser?

Looks good to me. You could always try -30 and test of course.

I did a full cinebench and played around 4 rounds of Warzone..

Seems fine at -22 PBO

I'll try -25 next, on my 7800X3D -20 was the limit :D
 
New Settings as -25 was unstable

Core Clock + 200MHZ
PBO Negative -22
PBO Enhancement 90C
Scaler X6

= 23998

Think I'll leave it there :cool:
You’ve gained a little performance from your initial run which is good.

The beauty of an all core is that if you ever find instability you can just dial it back slightly.
 
Worth going from a 7800X3D to a 9800X3D ? Mainly gaming ? 10% improvement on stock ?
Depends. What resolution do you game at ? If it's 4K you'll be GPU bound in most games and will see marginal difference in performance. At lower resolutions the difference is more noticeable, and there are some games that are more CPU bound eg. Flight Sim, Factorio, Satisfactory where you will see a clear uplift in performance.

Very much this ^ Hence why the biggest improvements now are with GPU upgrades

Still its a nice improvement but not huge :cool:

plus there's extra OC headroom, unlike the 7800X3D... Running 5425mhz now

I got my 9800x3d yesterday, along with the build in my sig. I have been testing the undervolt but it doesn't make any difference to my temps in Cinebench. I started with -10, then -15 and now -20 and the temps are actually getting higher during testing (for both cpu and gpu). Only by 1-2 degrees, but that seems the opposite of what should happen?

Scores haven't really changed, in fact -10 was a slightly better score than -15 and -20. Edit - just ran -20 again and that is slightly higher than the stock and -10 score.

Only things I changed in BIOS were the voltages, no OC.

Could you list exactly what settings you changed in the bios?

I went into the AMD Overclocking setting and switched the PBO setting to 'Advanced'. Then went to the curve shaper and switched that to 'negative' and then the -10/-15/-20. Only other change I had made was switching RAM to Expo.

I have read about OC with +200 but haven't played around with that yet.

It seems stable but I thought the temps would decrease in Cinebench, or would I only see the reductions in gaming? Continues to idle around 40 whatever I change it to.

I wouldn’t worry about the idle temps, that is normal.

Have your temps reduced in anything else? What were they at stock?

When you selected “advanced” did it give you options of temp limit?

Depending on what motherboard you are using it might be motherboard limits. Try “enabled” instead of advanced and test.
