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.

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.

i dont have time for gaming ... use it for web browsing / forum browsingPeople 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

Well turns out -30 CO for my 9800X3D isn't as stable as I thought, thanks to Handbrake, I've tested and ran a bunch of stuff, it was completely stable, until I needed to convert couple of videos and the system would just completely freeze, tuned it down to -25 and it's all good now.
I guess from now I'm gonna include Handbrake into my testing routine, seems to catch things that other things don't.

I've got a busy evening on Friday. Ordered myself a 9800 x3d, ASUS ROG Strix X870-F, 32GB of RAM, and a 2tb M2 SSD. I feel like I needed to treat myself after the year I have had.
I wonder if my install of Windows 11 will transfer OK without a reinstall? I'll remove the drivers for the x370 board first and see how it goes.

I would just do a fresh install if I’m honest, you can backup quite a lot of windows settings etc now with your outlook account.

I've got Window installed on a small partition, and so it was pretty easy to back up downloads and documents onto my other internal drives....But saying that I went straight from Intel to AMD, mobo, cpu, memory with no drama from Windows 11, without doing any uninstall. I just went for a 'dirty' upgrade and Windows 11 just worked with it. Gave me time to play about with a few things before doing a proper refresh.
I did try and do a fresh Windows install from usb disc onto another drive, but that was taking far too much effort with updates etc.. So I ended up going through my dirty Windows reset options to do fresh reset... And thats seems pretty good to me so far.
having done a CPU swap myself, I can say its buggered my windows license and I now show as you need to register windows.
while I only game so its minimal annoyance I need to reinstall windows now and go through the setup, I have tried to rectify but nothing has worked so far.

That was one of the reasons I did a hardware upgrade without touching the Windows installation, so hopefully It got the idea that its still my account and license, I've just swapped some bits. And that seems to have worked...Windows was happy enough and also shown in my MS devices account, then when it was all good for a few days, I then reset the Windows installation, to remove any of the old Intel stuff. And still my PC is activated without any issue.. Which is a lot better than previous times when I've had to use MS support to transfer my license over.
So far so good.
