*** AMD "Zen 4" thread (inc AM5/APU discussion) ***


Generally speaking, stuff tends to be on the minute when NDA's expire.

We get a bit more official announcements these days like the 4XXX series, but we don't actually know anything till the minute the NDA expires.

Given you've been here since 2003 you must have seen your fair share of launches in your day.

Lmao this is hilarious

The headline is: look AMD's overclocking team managed to get the 7950x to break world records and ram it at 5.4/5.5ghz all core with manual overclocking and just using an AIO cooler.

So I checked the screenshots and they show the 7950x running at 108c!!! It's not even pulling that much power, just 240w but an AIO can't stop it from running well over 100c

It was a 240 aio so not too bad to be fair, these are densly packed chips which will be more difficult to cool. What is impressive is that I only needed 5.4ghz to break the record where as the previous record needed 7ghz on liquid nitrogen

5.4Ghz on all 16 cores with a mid range AIO is not bad to be fair.

108c is fine, I'm sure
Why are you focusing on teh negative. Mid range AIO, previous record was set at 7ghz on LN2 seems not to bad to me. I remember last year reports of 12900K throttling at just over 100 degrees using a 360mm AIO and thats without a overclock.In fact there was lots of reports of them running over 100 degrees. Was that k though cause its Intel?

I notice you also cherry picked your results and went for the 7-Zip temp. R23 max temp 87, R15 max tem 83 and r15 63 degrees. All on a 240mm AIO. At least try to be objective looks like it used less power than 12th gen and probably then what 13th gen will use also

Its overclocked, on all 16 cores, with a not very good cooler, have you tried getting your 5950X to 5.4Ghz?

Yes my 5950x can do 240w as well thanks and the same voltages and it runs at 82c not 108c - I'm having trouble believing that a bigger radiator for zen4 will drop 26c
 
Few things to note here regarding the 7zip test overall and also looking at why it’s much hotter

- Unlike Cinebench which runs entirely in cache, 7zip hammers the memory also
- They needed to lower the memory to 5800mhz to pass the bench (my personal area of concern would be this)
- whereas something like r15 will complete in a few seconds, the 7zip bench will run 45seconds plus
- The soc/iod getting hammered adds additional heat coupled with the duration of the test creating a heat trapping problem

Lol okay then. I have never been able to make my CPU draw over 170watt. It hits EDC before CPU power gets close to that. And at 170watt on a full custom loop it still hits 82c at only 4.3Ghz and to do that stable it needs 1.4v. You must have the god chip then for the 5950x
