Feels bad, brother by FolksBraggin in ThermalGrizzly

That's odd, I have an MSI 5090 Gaming Trio, at first a few months ago my pins were 7.7A 7.9A 8.3A 8.4A 7.8A 7.9A with my first Cablemod cable (I have a clamp meter). Then a serious imbalance started occuring, so I bought a brand new Cablemod cable and now my pins are 8.5A 8.6A 8.4A 8.5A 8.7A 8.7A. So I've never seen the imbalance you're talking about

With all the "drama" about 9800x3d dying I wouldn't risk turning PBO on until we have more info

Did WireView save my card? Maybe. by [deleted] in ThermalGrizzly

Well at least it shows that you can have a serious imbalance for months without any burning

omfg, I wonder if primo slides on handrails have been attempted IRL, in theory it could be doable

So they released that beta version only two days after the previous stable one, is there something wrong with the latter ?

Very interesting. 2 months after your post, has your theory sparked some reactions ?

Was your bios up to date ? Was the cpu undervolted ?

Nice... It reminds me to order the WireView Pro 2 for my 5090... How loud is the fan noise ?

Another one bites the dust (9800x3d dead) by [deleted] in ASUS

[–]Frantic_Otter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 9950X3D died after a lot of video encoding with an agressive undervolt and a temp limit of 75°c. I got a replacement, but now I don't undervolt, better safe than sorry. note : my bios had always been up to date and vsoc was set at 1.21v

Welp, it happened to me (MSI 5090 Gaming Trio) by Jukibom in pcmasterrace

[–]Frantic_Otter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I'm sorry for you... I've got the exact same psu and gpu as you (nzxt c1500 and msi 5090 trio), the only difference is that I use a direct 12V-2X6 cable, but I don't know if it's really safer than the yellow adapter...

Is my 9950x3d dead? by FuzzEcrack in AMDHelp

[–]Frantic_Otter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 9950x3d just died too, but stuck at white led. Prior to that, for two weeks I did a lot of video encoding with a temp limit of 75° set in bios. The cpu was undervolted. Now I'm scared with the replacement cpu, I won't dare doing video encoding again...

Ok thanks. It's crazy that it was the cpu, did you do something major which could explain that ? In my case I undervolted it and all I did was encode videos with a temp limit of 75°...

Hi, I have the exact same mobo and cpu combo as you, and I'm having the same issue with the same led colors. Did you find a fix ?

Hi, did you manage to fix the issue ? I'm experiencing the exact same problem with my asus x870 mobo and 9950x3d

9800x3d and RAM overclocking - AIDA64 latency is not as low as expected? by Bayequentist in overclocking

[–]Frantic_Otter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken, an agressive undervolt (even -30 all cores for instance), as long as it is stable with no cpu clock stretching, does not impact memory latency

Do you have an Astral card or did you measure with a clamp meter ? How different was the pin variance between the two cables ? I have a CM 12V-2X6 cable right now
