AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

I'm not always the biggest fan of Jay but I think his take on this may well be correct. It looks like something has been improperly seated in that socket and caused the damage there. Maybe not from the end user though, maybe it happened in manufacturing QA?
 
Just got an email from the retailer I ordered from. The ETA for their stock was today, but it’s been pushed back to between 19th and 29th. VERY annoying.

Will be monitoring if OC get stock today for their pre-orders as they said, but I would expect delays if you ordered elsewhere. If OC gets stock today, I shall be asking my retailer why they aren’t the same.

So so annoying and disappointing
 
Welp, I don't think my cpu is a memory controller champ, wouldn't boot @ 6600 and OCCT memory test was barfing within 10 mins @ 6400. Though at that point I had no case cooling so the sticks were getting a bit toasty.

This was an easy tune though: 6200Mhz / CL28 / 2066 FCLK while nothing to write home about it's a nice balance, and since the sticks are dual rank I wasn't expecting magic anyway.

Couple of minor niggles, had to bump VDD to 1.52v for CL28, gear down mode is disabled in BIOS but not sure if it's either not sticking or Zen timings is reporting that incorrectly.

I read/heard the infinity fabric can get a bit prickly sometimes on AM5 with 1.3v SOC, so maybe I'll try again for 6400 but with the same 1.25v SOC I used here...

Do you not disable spread spectrum?

I used to, certainly when trying to tweak 4x32G of dual rank in the past... Might provide a cleaner signal for 6400 If I go there but atm this seems very stable. Or is it the other way around, enabled == cleaner signal?

Edit: no, that makes no sense, modulation == change in signal

That's a very good result for a 64gb dual rank kit. I wouldn't push for 6400+.
Be happy with that and stick with it ;)

Enabled should be cleaner, but I never noticed a difference in stability on AM4 overclocking other than what you would expect from the small frequency increase. I was just wondering what people are currently doing. I just get annoyed by having an un rounded bus speed so will most likely disable it.

Dual rank is a lot more stressful on the IMC. 6200CL28 is actually very good for dual rank.

You got a good chip.
 
I'm seeing the same burned CPU pop up over and over again with every Youtuber getting in on the clickbait video titles and thumbnails, even a couple of days after the whole of Youtube now knows about it and knows its user error they are still pretending like that is ambiguous in a bid to generate drama off the back of it. They know exactly what they are doing.

I'm really really beginning to hate tech tubers, i've just unsubbed from JayZ2cents and UDF Tech, these idiots are just cluttering up my sublist now, i want level-headed intelligent information from tech tubers, i'm finding them increasingly obnoxious, talking down to me like i don't know what's going on, like i can't critically think my way to the blindingly obvious, like they think i'm stupid.

Sounds very similar to mine, can't get 6400 stable. FCLK 2200 no problem tho
also 2x32GB dual rank, although I experimented with a 2x16GB kit that I know can run 6400 no problem and found no difference

For mine, vSOC 1.18 is enough to run 6200 1:1, but to boot 6400 reliably need at least 1.28V.
smells fishy

Experimented with higher vddp and/or vddg to get somewhat more stable, but never 100%
Dropping 2:1 mclk let the kit boot up to 7200
