Ryzen direct die cooling only resulted in 1-3C improvement.
The gains from replacing TIM I thought were greater.

AMD THREADRIPPER VS INTEL SKYLAKE X

The solder he used has a thermal conductivity of 73 W/mK, iridium which is used in the solder is 147 W/mK. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusion.

anyone know how i can add a Poll to this thread?
he got 10c from replacing the TIM on the 7900x, so what? 2-3c worse than solder?
Well you need to be comparing the same chip.
Even then the 6950X dropped only 4-6C.
Where did you get the 10C from? Normally it is more.
der8aeur said it was 10c when testing the same clocks and voltage.
Actually the 7700K would just fall behind given what we know happens to it more of the workload is offloaded to the GPU.
The 7700K here is a 98%, it has nothing left to give while the 1700 has plenty of headroom for a more powerfull GPU

and yet as shown multiple times by multiple reviewers ryzen falls far behind the 7700k in gaming....
I think everyone expected that. Better single-core performance due to higher clocks, but at a (much) higher price.

This will be the norm once devs stop using archaic engines. Some people are too short sighted to see that.
I can see Skylake-X being viable for very high end gaming (multi-GPU) but yes, aside from that these chips are not aimed at gamers. Which is why I think X299 will struggle the more people hear about AMD and the more Intel's brand advantage fades - if you're buying these systems, it's usually for high multithreaded throughput. In that case, why would you want 10 Intel cores when you can get 16 AMD cores for the same price? The increase in single threaded throughput on the Intel cores in this example won't matter.

Nowadays many gamers stream and/or use capture cards; you want those cores!! Additionally, more cores can be used occasionally in games and that'll only grow.
to be fair most serious streamers will use a dual pc setup, not one machine for both.
the only streamers I see are extremely budget constant ones that can only use one machine, but then they're just like the other million twitch streamers you see with 2 viewers per night.
Yeah hardcore streamers will try and use external capture where possible either a dedicated device or a system setup to composite multiple sources in realtime for instance so if their gaming system crashes they can continue to keep the stream running (and fill in with some content/themselves talking) while recovering it as going offline very quickly results in an audience drop that isn't easy to get back.
Or internal capture card that use pci-e slots that intel what you to pay top dollar for the non gimped editions. x2 graphics cards? That'll be $999 please.
Why has nobody mentioned the DLC RAID key that they want to charge for either?
Imagine if this was samsung or apple, there would be a lot more fuss about it.
