AMD RYZEN 9950X3D / 9900X3D IN STOCK

Looks like I'm not getting it today ;_; Anyone knows why DPD failed to deliver?

Sorry, we were unable to deliver your parcel to your DPD Pickup Shop, more details to follow

Edit: Talked with DPD, just a capacity issue on their end, wish they would have said so directly. Was afraid that OCUK didn't allow shipping to a pickup shop. Should come in tomorrow!

Now DPD refusing to deliver and saying that the package size is too large to be delivered to a Pickup Shop. Was I sent a whole pallet of 9950X3D? I don't mind the delay if that's the case :cry:

Edit: OCUK Called DPD, this was again due to "Capacity Issues", now re-re-scheduled for delivery on Monday. At least props to whoever answered my call, I didn't wait and OCUK will refund the shipping fees so all is good.
Still crazy that I've ordered my DDR5 from the USA on the 12th too and it's been delivered today. DHL was faster at doing USA > UK than DPD is doing UK>UK :cry:

Edit2: Tracking jumped from "Will be delivered Monday" to "Delivered", so got my 9950X3D AND Haribo too <3

Hmmm, for the second day on the trot I've had a notice from DPD saying "our driver missed you". He ******* didn't, he hasn't shown up.

Plus the picture that's been uploaded looks nothing like the front door... is he behind or is this some bizarre elaborate ruse?

Plus plus it looks like the next delivery is Monday? I've never had an issue with DPD before but this is awful, it's essentially arriving a week late (if ever).

Is it worth going from 7800X3D to 9800X3D or 9950X3D. I have a 4090 i hear the boost in fps quite decent.
 
Looking at reviews doesn't seem worth the hassle of "upgrading"
what about the 10940x vs the 9950X3D?

theres zero reviews on the 2 online, because the 10940X isnt exactly a gaming CPU, its a workstation CPU for content creation

Currently running the 10940X with a 5090, and some people say this combination is bottleneck

Wow ... What a pairing....

Guys I want to put this out as a PSA -
After building mine last night, on all defaults my 9950x3d paired with an Asrock X870e nova was running the CPU at 1.36-1.4v at IDLE....
I tried updating to the latest BIOS, CMOS reset, loading defaults again and all the same behaviour.. also, all chipset drivers are installed and 0 difference (windows 11 pro if that makes any difference).
So for now as a temporary measure I've reduced the max allowed cpu vcore down to 1.0v with only 4.5ghz on both ccd's... No idea what the max voltage it will pull when under load should be stock, so not going to run it at the full frequencies until I know more but it went from idling at 50c~ to now just above ambient at idle and 50c in games.
Have contacted Asrock asking for urgent support, but please guys check yours, as if it was 1.4v idle I don't want to know what it could've tried to do when fully loaded in games/rendering etc.
I'm not super familiar with AMD as my last PC had a 4th gen i7... so don't know the intricacies so please correct me if I'm totally wrong but that just can't be right.. 1.4v from my experience is huge and wouldn't even expect to see that when overclocking (which I have no intention of doing on this pc..).

If anyone has other suggestions I'm all ears

Is it sitting at 1.4 solid or does it fluctuate? If it's fluctuating then I don't think that's an issue with ryzen cpus. Then again people are having issues with some asrocks with a 9800x3d

It was sitting at 1.376v solidly and then going closer to 1.4 just opening browser tabs. 1.2-3v I'd think is expected at full load and frequency but at idle to be so much over that didn't seem right, maybe it is as I say am not an expert on these new CPU's first PC I've built since my old one in 2013, but just seemed weird.
It's now approx 0.9 idle and 1v under load and is totally stable (I've ran p95 & cinebench to validate somewhat..) so not sure why on earth it would be so insanely high at idle before.
Hopefully someone with knowledge of these new CPU's can educate as to if it's correct and I'm worrying or if there was an issue. But I want to play it very safe until I know either way.

I've not upgraded from my ryzen 3600 but when that came out there was a lot of talk about voltages being too high, but the chip was designed that way and it would generally auto regulate itself depending on heat. I would expect these new ones operate the same way but as I said some asrock users are seeing a few issues according to a recent gamers nexus video I watched.

Yeah I've seen that too, hence was being over-cautious. Other than this am super happy with it so far, 9070xt is by far the limiting factor so running it at a lower frequency for a while isn't affecting much
 
I'm so tempted to buy one of these but I know that I'm kidding myself that my use case is much more than just gaming. Sure there's some video work but not really enough to justify this.
I should just get a 9800X3D but I've been looking for a while and can't find one at MSRP. At least the 9950X3Ds are MSRP, so they not such a rip off right? That makes it a good idea to get one, right?

I do not believe its an issue due to the fact it is not doing anything, scroll down in HWinfo and check what your PPT is, i bet its 40W or less. More intelligent people then me can explain but it has something to do with that until the cpu is doing something the watts and amperage wont go up and all should be ok, please dont hysr take my word for it, do some extra research but i am pretty sure that does volts on pretty low load is fine
