I'm still undecided if it's worth it purely for 4k gaming from a 7600x. I think its a average uplift of +9% according the simulated results.

Really depends on the absolute frame rate. If it is close to a rate that will take into smoother territory it may be worth it. If it's just 200 to 2018 fps it's not going to make a difference. The 3D may make more difference than the max framerate increase.
 
Any updates on 7950X3D order fulfillment? I got an email from a competitor that they would expect a new shipment this week, delayed from March - the first restock since launch. Same here?
 
Yeah i dont really have many issues with my 6 core at 5.4ghz. I play at 4k so it's usually between 80-120 (screen max). If it reduced the lows that will help but my system nearly always feels smooth so maybe more for future proofing than anything else. That's why I'm interested in last of us results as I do notice the cpu been hammered on that.

Doesn't look like there's anything at the "top" that they have to work around. Could they not have just made it a bit smaller so those bits are outside of the IHS?
Yeah it'd reduced the surface area a little more but it'd make it less fiddly. They don't seem that concerned about surface area anyway.

Why does it having a different shape make it fiddly though? Fiddly for whom. For AMD it is irrelevant cost or anything with how they are produced, for a user it is irrelevant because makes no different to if they didn't have the cutouts so it is kinda not a think to worry about in any way.

Fiddly for me. Thermal paste will just collect there. It also seems like there is a ridge there too fo even more thermal paste collection.
It'd be nice, from my point of view, if it was just one height and square (with rounded corners).
I see no benefit to the shape and stepping that they've done.

It's not a deal breaker or anything, it was just a comment on the ugly design.

Do these forums have the ability to create a poll to get an idea on numbers on people who will be purchasing the 7800X3D on the 6th?

Yes as a separate thread but I doubt the majority of OCUK shoppers are also regular forum members. You'd only really capture the enthusiasts and those who register to post constant bait. I think a poll can be added retrospectively as well.

It is there for a purpose. It is needed for the resistors as shown in terms of the steps in and out. The reason for it stepping down is so the IHS size is the same as previous meaning older coolers fit without issue or a whole new cooler needed.

And honeslty why are you worried about thermal paste collecting there? If you are using most thermal paste its non-conductive and so makes zero difference.

If you are using something like liquid metal then you shouldn't have anything anywhere than on the IHS top no matter what you doing as that is conductive.

I actually don't think it's ugly at all and looks fine but aesthetically it makes zero difference.

Even in the corners that stick out there are resistors?
Surely for compatibility all you need is the height to be the same? I'm not sure how the stepping is important for compatibility. Do some coolers fit so precisely that if the IHS was the same height as the highest point all the way across that they wouldn't fit? (I've not used many AM4 coolers)
Admittedly the aesthetic is going to be personal taste but I think it's ugly. I just dislike cleaning thermal paste of CPUs, which is probably where a lot of this comes from.

Out of interest, how much of the CPU can you see when it's installed under a cooler?
