Poll: Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

with a 7800x3d and some gigabyte auros ****** b650 mobo, is it worth it bothering for the new chipset drivers?

Anyone by chance know if there's any point in having PBO enabled in the BIOS for the 7800X3D ? I honestly cannot tell a difference between it on or off having watched the clocks, volts and temps before and after.

Can't hurt, Takes all of 30 seconds to install.

Lots can go wrong in 30 seconds though

I finally got on board with the idea of sitting Zen 5 out for a while. Might drop in a 9800X3D (or whatever it may be) later next year. So i've got a 7800 X3D now and looking at tuning the RAM a bit. My first use of DDR5 so need to get the hang of it's nuances.

I have 2x16GB Corsair Dominator Titanium, running EXPO @ 6000 CL30 on an MSI X670E Tomahawk. Brought the SOC to 1.225v from 1.3v and that's it.

I don't want to go too far with it, because frankly I don't have much time to tinker, I'm experienced with DDR3 and DDR4, I know how long it can take to dial it it in. I was thinking of just leaving at 6000mhz and tightening the timings a bit and looking for a base set to go for first that should be easy to achieve.

Any ideas?

Paging @LtMatt

No doubt i'll just end up going for 6400 after a while...

With X3D, RAM upgrades over 6000 C30 can only be noticed in benchmarks.

The biggest upgrade left for you would be going above 8 cores, as some games do take advantage of 12/16, especially if you have some background applications open.

I'd hold out for a 12 or 16 core Ryzen9000 X3D, if you're really looking for a CPU upgrade. I'd upgrade GPU first though if just for gaming.

6200Mhz should be easy to achieve. On a 2PC channel board like yours you'll probably be limited to around 7600Mhz as a maximum possible speed, but that will require some tweaking and effort to get there.

I'd go for 6000-6200Mhz and call it a day for now.

Do we think AM5 platform will get discounts soon ?

It already is and the price cuts are slowly filtering through to the UK.
