I am really hoping that this time around they are working in tight collaboration with Motherboard manufacturers to optimize their memory profiles . I am super scared to update my x670e Bios , not a single version since 18/8/2023 , works well with 7800x3d and my GSKILL 6000mhz kits 4x16GB . The default EXPO profiles of the kits aren't working , including the tweaked profiles of my mobo manufacturer , and I am not even touching any timings. Dont get me started on the processor 7800x3d ... not sure if the non x3d versions boost themselves to the absolute maximum (5Ghz) for random tasks , such as opening a browser or a folder , but I think this is absolutely unnecessary , because it causes huge temp spikes, and my case fans & AIO go full RPM on these random occasions (which are often). So PBO is now set on Auto instead of Enabled. This PC is hell of an experiment , I started to appreciate stability and faster boot times over FPS.

I have a 7950X3D I’ve decided to downgrade (upgrade really ) to the 7800X3D. Should I stay on the 7950x3D and wait until the 9950x’s price gets to a reasonable pricing and not its projected 0ver $600 price How many years will it take to reach a more reasonable $400 I’m guessing with the problems with the 7900 series will rear its head again with the 9950 leading to core juggling. So is it best to just stick to the 7800 as it’s more stable and the best for gaming. Long comment but it’s given me plenty of thought.

my first pc build was AMD 5900x 6900xt (custom water loop) and my next build was 13900kf (w/360mm aio) 4090 and I wish I would have stuck with AMD. The 5900x r23 score was 23k and will still do that same score today and it probably do the same score a few yrs from now and is game stable. my 13900kf did 41k r23 score (was game stable) but now wont do more then 37k and to get it game stable now I have to use default settings and that r23 score is 33-34k. I'm pretty sure the 13900kf is slowly dying.

I am totally considering just eating the loss and doing away with my 14900K and z790 mobo and going full AMD. I am so upset by Intel and truly feel as if I got hit by a bait and switch. Sitting up here turning settings down from what I believed to be stock settings when I got the chip so that it remains stable or does not degrade. I am gonna really keep up with what AMD is doing and in a few months, if all looks good, I plan on making the switch.

Voltage = engine timing. Depending on the workload and how the engine is running during those loads will determine overall timing. We know that improper timing will lead to lost performance.I can see how having the boost voltage being more flexible will lead to better stability. There will be no more Under spikes or over spikes leading to instability. I shouldn't say no more, but it should lessen the chance.

Watching this video now but unless this information is someplace I never seen could we get a video or even just a pdf or whatever we use this days to understand what the settings actually do in the bios for amd. I'm not on the new new but pbo curve and everything else seems to conflict depending how you apply it and everything I ever seen is more random people on reddit ..

I might be solo on this, but unless you RUN THE SYSTEM for extended periods in practical applications without LN2, who honestly gives a shit
High clocks on H2O blocks with real world extended performance is where we should truly be focusing the EOC energy.
6.6Ghz is insane, but it’s more or less useless in any scenario until these clocks can be hit under 30W.

These are some of the most fun videos, just because they're just some nerds, hanging out and doing what they love kind of things that takes all the industry BS out of the equation for the most part. Love the attitudes and just getting to see people have fun in spite of being in such a competitive or in some ways corporate space. It humanizes the huge companies.

Hope shaper is WAY WAY better than curver optimiser - it never worked though for main peoples stuff i.e games it would be 100% stable in cinebench or ryzen master stress test or prime95 but if you load a game diablo 4, new world, last epoch, anthem, the last descendant etc it just crashes ussually setting lower fixed voltage with an overlock is more stable

Big numbers are cute. So uh... any chance we could get stable products I need two machines and I don't trust Intel or AMD for stability right now. With recent Intel news, it seems like this would be something that AMD would want to exploit. Want a top end system right now Well, enjoy rage from 14th gen crashes and great sadness due to a flaming GPU.

Comment section really brought out the gross fanboys from the woodwork to mingle with the bots, I for one would love to see an overclocking battle once again with jay, paul and co.
But that curve shaper, if its anything like the VF curve tuner from Intel, thats gonna make OC SO much easier, rather than being limited by idle clocks.

Extreme, sub-zero overclocking of a CPU is interesting and fun, but it's about as useful to the average consumer, or even the enthusiast, as chipping and tuning a Corvette to set street-legal 1/4 mile records. What matters to 99% of us is how it performs stock with a 240mm AIO or a double tower air cooler on a $150 B650 board.

hoping the curve shaper fixes my annoyance with curve optimizer: the idle crashing
anything above -5 such as -10 or -15 simply crashes at idle, but works amazing at mixed and all core loads. it's great that i can just have very little offset at idle but get much lower temps/higher freq at high loads.

I always wondered if it would make sense to try to enclose the motherboard/pot setup into an extremely low humidity box with an opening for the pot at the top. That would use the ln2 or a desiccant to create a low to zero moisture environment at a positive pressure.

AMD is doing the Fortnite dance over Intel's corpse at this point. Seeing AMD themselves in the lab pushing their own chips and refining the software for their customers to push their own chips is amazing. AMD is going to expose Intel's house of cards soon.

100% of people will NEVER use this. Has ZERO real world application and practicality. Immediately breaks the warranty. NOW DO THIS, on an Air/Water cooler, and you will have my admiration. It's like Formula One. It has -ZERO usability.

How come xoc tools and bios'es are secret sauce Is it a more complicated matter than preserving competetive edge, making sure consumers don't break their stuff and bigbrother nvidia breathing down the neck of the boardpartners

I'm more interested in how limiting the power consumption of the chip acts. I know with Ryzen 7000 you barely lost any performance going down to 65W from 170W. I genuinely wonder how much faster the 9950X would be at 65W

Man they used intels default cooling and took the crown. And they used 1 of the 6 Gene boards thst were released wonder if Asus will put it back into production drom the graveyard or if there is a x870e revision
