My 5950x never hit 108c in any test

as a fellow 5950x owner i can say that my chip has hit just over 200w in r15 and r23 at 4.7ghz all core and temps have been in the upper 90's running 1.275v, (anymore and thermal trip occours for me) and a custom 420mm*2 loop to cool it and my gpu, the leaked 7950x results are impressive, yes one test is quite warm which raises eyebrows but the rest all seem reasonable given the clocks are far past 5ghz, better cooling will help no end and everyday tasks wont get anywhere near those leaked temp results

I was going to start a new thread but I figured this may be the place to post.

I'm looking at building a beefy rig and I'm thinking of going AMD this time because of the support going forward. Obviously a new chip could mean a lot of issues being an early adaptor, is this normally the case with AMD? How hard are AMD to setup? I've heard multiple people mention about needing to turn SMT off(is that the right thing?) and RAM being harder to setup, is that the case?

Thanks

Not so much now, early days of Ryzen(several years ago) they could be a touch tricky.
 
holy user resurrection!

christ, it has been a long time...

i've been constantly googling and searching twitter for ryzen 7000 news and very little out there - do you guys reckon we see it on launch day in the uk, or will we have to wait longer? i'm one of those in the 'was about the build a new pc, realised am5 was due soon' camp.
 
@Gibbo Sorry if it’s been asked already, but I couldn’t see any info. Will there be stock of Ryzen 7000 on launch day? (27th)… it’s only 5 days away and yet I’ve seen nothing listed anywhere. Also will EXPO memory kits be available? Thanks
 
This launch of CPUs and GPUs feel different. It doesn't look like either brand is doing pre orders like two years ago, they set a launch date it's first come first serve on launch day - probably means that supplies of new GPUs and CPUs will be better than last Gen

No doubt. There's never a real shortage of CPUs, though the top end model may be more scarce (7950x) for the first month or so, due to yield. So if you wanted the 7950x then on launch day you'll likely have to pay more than what its intended to sell for. And yes EXPO kits will be available. 7700X & 7600X will be plentiful for sure, most likely 7900X as well.
