AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

What temperatures are people seeing on this chip at full load?

When I'm gaming I'm seeing maybe 50-55C. At idle in the low 40C range. But going flat out it really is jumping straight up to 95C and sitting there.

Also this thing is meant to boost to 5.2Ghz on a single, but I'm seeing all core boosts of 5.2Ghz with the fastest core maxing out at 5269Mhz :)
 
I don't know if it's Win 11, the new CPU, maybe some BIOS settings, or a combination thereof, but MSI Afterburner isn't showing anything and some of the monitoring options are missing like temperatures and clock speeds.

RTSS still works in game with the options that I can select. I don't normally use Afterburner so it's not a huge deal (just comparing benchmarks), but still curious nonetheless.

Anyone know why it might be behaving this way? I've tried disabling Windows Defender "memory integrity" and restarting + re-installing AB, but that didn't work.

EDIT: I realise this might not strictly be related to 9800X3D, but since this only became an issue after installing the new parts, I figured I'd just throw it out there...

That's because the software has not been updated since the release of Zen 5, so almost no CPU metrics work. You are going to have to run HWINF064, and use that with rivatuner to get metrics on an overlay.

It's not ideal but it's the only option right now.

Well after thinking I wasn’t bothered in a new cpu, got an itch that needed scratching and by some good fortune, managed to order one, arriving next week .

Anyone running or will be running one of these on a B650 board? am I going to notice any big performance difference not having the latest chipset, or is it mostly for pci-e 5.0?
 
Just updated to AGESA 1.2.0.2b and with re-applying the same tweaks as this previous post my throughput and latency appears to have improved.

Previously (unfortunately didn't save it) Read: 59000 MB/s, Write: 91000 MB/s, Copy: 57000 Mb/s, Latency: 69.7 ns

I'm confident I'm correct in these previous numbers, did quite a few runs as I was working on the tune

@LtMatt I have spare memory lying around which is more suited for intel setups. I have gskill 7800 c38 I think it is. And a set of Corsair titanium 7200 c34. Could I use that ram. Or should I get a set of gskill royals 6000 c28 or c30 6400 MHz. I haven't received my 9800x3d yet so I have no idea if it will run 1:1

Why not use that RAM and set the timings manually? As I recall some Mobos have presets for different timings on a drop down for you to choose. So you can deffo set RAM to a slower value and get better timings. I did this with DDR4 for years.
 
B650 GAMING X AX (rev. 1.0/1.1/1.2)
  • Checksum : 4F76
  • Update AMD AGESA 1.2.0.2a for Ryzen 9000 X3D CPU performance optimized
  • Add X3D Turbo Mode support
  • Now system will ask if user wants to enable X3D Turbo Mode or not at the first boot of X3D CPU is installed
From what I've seen this should not be enabled?

When it was announced Gigabyte claimed 35% performance uplift and then they admitted they made a mistake and it was 3.5 %. It could be worth playing with but I think it's one of those settings that is good for people who don't tweak their settings sort of like XMP timings. People who manually tweak their timings and settings will get better results. I thought I read somewhere that is disables SMT and maybe even one of the CCD's on the 16 core part which would be undesirable outside of gaming. Better to use process lasso or alternative.

It would be nice if some tech tubers actually did reviews about new features like these, and other changes made to inter core latency in the new AGESA rather than all making the same videos about the user damaged CPU and another games round up vs a chip not even in the same class. A 45 game benchmark test vs a 285k was really pointless IMO.

Thank you!
And yes it would be interesting to see a proper review about it soon.

after updating to latest MSI BIOS (AGESA 1.2.0.2b), I've got something that this might be, I'll toggle it and see if multi threading is disabled
