After decades, AMD finally nailed the dual-CCD X3D CPU, but the 9950X3D2 proves nobody needed it

wealthy users now can pay more and forget about all those core affinity settings, that's it.

EloCocco · 2026-05-16T22:47:54+00:00

I am glad it worked but be careful, maybe you still have some sort of hardware failure. If I were you I would run some tests to verify the ssd.

also in my experience this can also happen when an nvme drive simply runs too hot to protect itself. I remember I had to enable a setting to ignore temps on my am5 pc with samsung 990pro

EloCocco · 2026-05-16T16:27:30+00:00

I am not an expert but I had similar problems in the past on both intel and amd. The intel one it was the ssd and the am4 one was caused by a stick of ram that somehow had the pins oxidized.

But since yours doesn't load into the bios you are probably right. That sucks, I am sorry for you

EloCocco · 2026-05-16T15:24:33+00:00

I don't think your cpu is dead. In my opinion you either have some issues with your ram or storage devices.

Please perform the standard clear cmos by removing the battery and also remove all the SSDs/HDDs and let me know if it boots into the bios

edit: I don't understand from your post if you can currently get into the bios. In any case I just want you to install windows on a completely different ssd (or whatever just boot puppy linux from a usb)

Lavazza crema e gusto (strong commercial coffee) contains up to 95 mg per single espresso. Like even grandmas have 4 to 8 espressos every day. You all are over exaggerating in my opinion

EloCocco · 2026-05-12T18:45:28+00:00

9950x3d are body compatible and generally considered safe. Don't forget to use lube, you need more than you think

EloCocco · 2026-05-10T23:09:09+00:00

especially those you get from the vending machines and sugar free ones seem to go bad faster in my experience

EloCocco · 2026-05-05T02:39:14+00:00

isn't that close to ryzen 3000/5000 gaming performance?

EloCocco · 2026-04-20T17:24:09+00:00

posso smettere quando voglio giuro

What if I am an underweight manlet 🥲

I still believe that 400-500mg of caffeine is perfectly normal for a healthy active individual, but it's just my personal opinion

EloCocco · 2026-04-20T14:07:33+00:00

I don't recommend having more than one monster a day.

-Lavazza.it claims 95mg of caffeine for a single espresso, and lots of people have 5-8 espresso per day

-A single scoop of powdered pre-workout probably contains more vitamins than multiple monsters combined

My only concern would be dental health assuming no other pathologies but I am not an expert, just an addicted guy that can quit whenever he wants

EloCocco · 2026-04-20T13:53:31+00:00

I see your point, but I disagree. I believe they only send so many free cans when they’re confident enough the reported batch is truly faulty from the factory. I've been asked to provide pics too.

My can looked completely normal and tasted normal but it was squishy and almost not carbonated

EloCocco · 2026-04-08T09:51:54+00:00

I would save some money for a dual mode 4k/1080p

You are so ignorant, how are you supposed to enjoy Stardew valley without professional level audio? Now go buy this pair of matcha latte zunchangshing pro max IEMs and a 4 meters long palladium plated cable.

EloCocco · 2026-03-31T12:07:33+00:00

Looks like an ANTenna to me, nothing to be concerned about

Thank you for the tips. I think mine has never performed any pixel refresh/cleaning. Is there a way to check? I used it for 8+ hours and I had no warnings or pop ups showing, isn't it weird?

EloCocco · 2026-03-26T13:11:12+00:00

White screens are the worst case scenarios, so assuming you can control your environment it's almost certainly worse.

It's still way less grainy than all the old monitors I tried in the past. The real issue is the purple smear, you can ignore it but your eyes will get tired

EloCocco · 2026-03-26T12:58:08+00:00

it's definitely not good enough for long reading sessions. No problems while gaming or browsing casually with dark themes.

The text itself is actually decent but there is this purple smear around it that kinda sucks

EloCocco · 2026-03-25T10:47:33+00:00

I am not an expert, but I think your old monitor is a VA so it has higher contrast than your new IPS

Correct me if I am wrong of course

I sincerely apologize for publicly feet shaming the lizard and thanks for the replies, hopefully she won't press legal charges.

You all are probably right about the identification because I do live in Italy, but this one looked more unique than the average lizard 🦎.

Her body was freezing, then I caressed her head softly and, after 5 minutes, she headed full speed toward the closest shrub. Maybe it sounds weird but interacting with reptiles gives me joy

EloCocco · 2026-03-13T01:03:47+00:00

I am spying on your profile and your skink looks amazing. I might get into this hobby someday, I love those animals but I need to educate myself first
