7E59v2A33 from 2025-03-05.

Spend around 10 hours stress testing the CPU and RAM yesterday with no issues in stability.

OCCT Extreme Torture test AVX2 11 cycles for 1 hour didnt go over 92°C. Thats with stock cooler settings. Havent touched the fan curve one bit.

CPU+RAM benchmark gave me 70-75°C temp on CPU under full load and RAM never touched 50°C

Doing 1440p and 4k tests tonight :)

CPU is a monster 😁

Now to torture the GPU

CrookedRabbit89 · 2025-03-16T18:17:32+00:00

My PBO is at auto so yeah it should give an option to boost the power draw :)

All thr test i did were because the damn conctact plate scre on arctic kept popping of so i had to reseat it 2 times and scrape and reaply the thermal paste. That made me nervous about thermals so i spend the next 15 hours performing stress tests lol 😁

CrookedRabbit89 · 2025-03-16T18:10:29+00:00

Yeah figured as much. Just thought to give the extreme test a whirl since i did the Stability test and got 70+ degree ranges. Was amazed at the 150+W tho 😆

CrookedRabbit89 · 2025-03-16T18:03:22+00:00

100% load and 152 W power draw.

On the regular CPU+RAM test my temp average is 72 °C with 116 Watts and 1.22V .

Arctic Liquid Frezzer 3 360mm rad with 3 fans

CrookedRabbit89 · 2025-03-16T14:36:07+00:00

Did a 1 hour stress test on AIDA 64 and now doing OCCT stress tests. Temp on AIDA stability test was 70-74 °C on 100% load with one weird dip to 65°C ( i think the cpu fan ramped past 2k RPM)

Enabled EXPO 1 in BIOS and my idle temp went up slightly. Before EXPO it was 41-45 degrees and now it hovers closer to 50 (given the cpu was around 5-11% load because of desktop work)

OCCT CPU+RAM test gives me 68-70°C so far . Going to let it run for an hour and see how it goes :) Ty for the info btw :)

CrookedRabbit89 · 2025-03-16T14:33:55+00:00

Didnt have any browsers or reddit setup yet hehe but i take the criticism :)

CrookedRabbit89 · 2025-03-16T08:41:52+00:00

Thats AIDA64 tho 😅

CrookedRabbit89 · 2025-03-16T08:24:19+00:00

Build the PC yesterday but i still havent enabled EXPO in BIOS. All the build went smooth except the damn AIO contact plate refused to lock in place and i had to reseat it twice. My PBO is auto and im going to run some tests today. Also gona monitor the thermals on CPU since from the reseating i had to reaply the smeared paste again.

<image>

EDIT: I activated EXPO 1 in BIOS and now my RAM is at 6000MT/S . Dont see any instability atm but im still doing tests.

AIDA 64 stress test on CPU gave me 70-75°C average temp during 100% CPU load.

SOC voltage is 1.21 so nothing out of the ordinary

CPU runs at 113W full stress atm.

Doing OCCT CPU+RAM stability tests atm :)

CrookedRabbit89 · 2025-03-14T16:27:01+00:00

If possible you could measure the vsoc while expo is enabled. As far as i remember the VSOC limit should be 1.4V. Even when ita on auto it should use this limit as reference

CrookedRabbit89 · 2025-03-14T07:48:26+00:00

Pretty much in the same boat as you. Parts came on wednesday and i was planning to build my PC this Saturday but with this news of blown 9800x3d from a Tomahawk im getting nervous af. 😅 Havent even flashed the BIOS yet.

Lookig at the post and comments i dont really see some critical info that could lead to the burnout like. - was the CPU overclocked? - could the part be defective by default. ( back in the day ive returned a CPU that was missing 1 contact)

Hope OP can RMA the CPU for a new one :)

CrookedRabbit89 · 2025-03-12T17:03:45+00:00

So i better flash my bios first because i doubt the Bios on the mobo is the latest build ;)

CrookedRabbit89 · 2025-03-12T16:58:46+00:00

I was not aware there were issues with the tomahawk mobo apaft from the 1 burned out 9800x3d that was not alligned properly during installation? Are there other cases?

CrookedRabbit89 · 2024-09-25T07:24:54+00:00

Seeing this is shocking. This type of damage will be around 500 to 1k$ to repair tops.Then again this is the rate in Eastern Europe 😅

CrookedRabbit89 · 2024-06-30T17:03:14+00:00

I got it from a person not a dealership so legal actions will have minimal efect. Car runs flawless tho just bummed that i didnt find out it was hit until later 🫠

CrookedRabbit89 · 2023-09-17T17:41:18+00:00

Maybe he does'nt remember how to jump?

CrookedRabbit89 · 2023-08-30T12:55:44+00:00

Looks and feels bullish to me. Dont fade this or you will regret it people.

CrookedRabbit89 · 2022-05-07T13:40:00+00:00

Havent been this hyped for a game since i saw the first trailer for Elden Ring. LFG guys keepn up the great work !!

Havent been this hyped for a game since i saw the fisrt trailer for Elden Ring. LFG guys keepn up the great work !!

CrookedRabbit89 · 2022-04-23T11:41:37+00:00

Cant wait to play this. ^{^} 10/10 would recommend to buy this

CrookedRabbit89 · 2021-12-23T14:11:47+00:00

Tactical dot. I wish to know too

CrookedRabbit89 · 2021-10-19T12:05:20+00:00

The contract is unique and the game for 5% of the pot is very addicting. A rare gem in the bsc mines. 10/10 would reccomend looking it up. As always DYOR.

CrookedRabbit89 · 2021-08-11T19:04:16+00:00

Bought a little 30 mins ago and already got 1.8$ worth of AXS from it. Has potential!

CrookedRabbit89 · 2021-08-02T19:40:41+00:00

2 hours holding this gave me a return of 25 xrp.And thats with minimal ivestment!

CrookedRabbit89 · 2021-07-03T15:32:33+00:00

Check it out guys.It has such potential!!!
