Poll: Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

probably because you have less background stuff running with new install, watch when you start installing stuff

Probably yea.

Morning quite a few of us should be receiving our 7800x3d's today I'd be interested to hear what motherboards you're all going for? as that is the only part I'm currently still undecided on

I just fitted mine in to my X670E Hero this morning, previously had a 7600x in there. Before I could run my Corsair C36 6000 kit at Expo I, but now it fails to post with Expo I on the 7800x3d. Annoying, I’m not sure why. Running latest bios. Guess I will have to have a play with it at some point. It will run Expo II though, which is fine just slightly looser timings but it does have an impact with my previous 7600x.

Time spy score went up quite nicely compared to the 7600x though. This is with a 4090 and everything set to stock except Expo II enabled.

I did notice there’s a new setting in the bios now, labelled Expo Tweaked, so I will give that a go as well. Can’t find out too much information on it.

Time Spy score 7800x3d : 29,185
Time Spy score 7600x : 26,304

Time Spy score 7800x3d GPU : 36,728
Time Spy score 7600x : 36,715

Time Spy score 7800x3d CPU : 13,488
Time Spy score 7600x CPU : 10,069


Weirdly my Port Royal score is slightly lower though. This could be Expo I vs II, but I would have thought an 8 core vs 6 core would have been better anyway for the 4090. Just goes to show how good the 7600x is many workloads is?

Port Royal score 7800x3d CPU : 25,730
Port Royal score 7600x CPU : 25,851

Checked this morning before I came to work and my order was still marked as 'Ordered'. This might have been asked before but what happens if something else in the same order is now out of stock? At the time it was just the 7950x3d we were waiting for. Now OC are waiting for the AIO I ordered to be re-stocked. I'm hoping that as they took full payment for the order that the other items would have been reserved somehow.

Anyone any info?

If you paid then its saved, when i ordered multiple items and one was out of stock they emailed me a few days later asking if i was happy to wait for it all to ship together once in stock, or to ring them and split it down to deliver what they already had.

@rare 0.4% difference, margin of error.

Looks like places are getting stock soon for the 7950x3D where I am. Prices have shot up pass RRP.

Glad I placed an order soon as the notification appeared. Hopefully I get one by the weekend.

I haven’t checked to see if these look reasonable figures or not, 3dmark didn’t seem to suggest they were particularly poor nor particularly great. A bump in the time spy CPU score shows it’s working as intended I suppose!

R23 scores of

Single : 1787
Multi : 18,121

Look about consistent with some reviews (such as Guru3D)

I suspect you are completely GPU limited in Port Royal regardless of which CPU you use, but that won't be the case in Timespy where the FPS are much higher.

Yeah agreed, makes sense and looks about right

I tried the new Asus setting of ‘expo tweaked’, which seems to be a mix of Expo I and II. If anyone is struggling with Expo I it looks like a good option to try.

It took my Time Spy scores up compared to Expo II.

Time Spy score Expo II : 29,185
Time Spy score Expo Tweaked : 29,594

Time Spy GPU Expo II : 36,728
Time Spy GPU Expo Tweaked : 36,786

Time Spy CPU Expo II : 13,488

Got my 7800X3D today. I'm going for the Asus B650E-E. For me, a Q-Code reader was a requirement, especially with a brand new platform.

Didn't even know there was Expo I and Expo II option, will have to check tonight what my X670E Gene is set at with 7800x3d.

Expo II is straight from the Dimm, Expo I looks like it’s enhanced timings from the board. Expo tweaked seems to be a bit of both if you are struggling getting Expo I to load. In games with a 7800x3d or probably makes little difference, just a bit annoying as the faster profile worked fine with my 7600x.

Just got my 7800X3D delivered today, gonna have fun building over the weekend.

I have also received my 7800x3D, and will be building the PC in the evening.

I've got my 7800X3D due in the next hour. I need to flash the BIOS in my Asrock X670e PG Lightning first. I've got a set of Corsair 6400MHz C32 that I was going to try and use with this build. Is it worth even bothering to try and get it running at 6400?

I'm expecting to have to run it at 6000 C30. I've gone for the faster RAM as I'm expecting the later AM5 chips to support faster RAM. I did this with my 2700->3900X->5900X and it worked well as my 3600MHz RAM lasted the life of AM4.

 

[fowler002]

Got mine just a little earlier, I’ll build it when I’m not being lazy.
Not sure if I should use the stock paste on the aio(nzxt z63), the paste that comes with the thermalright contact plate or a ~8yr old tube of kryonaut(don’t think I ever opened it) which got misplaced then turned up a couple years back and has since been set in the garage.

Worst thing that will happen is it won’t post, but to be honest 6000 C30 is the sweet spot anyway. Unless you are benchmarking not sure it’s worth the hassle. I haven’t seen any evidence that in games it makes much difference with the x3d chips and 6400 is very hard to reach anyway. Some peoples struggle with 6000…!

Yes, it absolutely is. 6400 is not guaranteed though, however 6200 should be possible for all users with the right settings. 6000 is plug and play pretty much plug and play.

I used the stock paste that came on the X62 with my 8700k which I've had running for years OC'd to 5ghz and it's been fine. I'm going to do the same with the Z63.

Gigabyte B650 gaming x or B650 Tomahawk. Not quite sure yet. I ordered the G.skills ram from the states and i dont think it will be here for a week or two.
