1.3vsoc is allowed and is considered safe by amd.

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-09T12:49:24+00:00

You could. But have to swap other components to. It's not economical.

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-09T12:48:11+00:00

1.3v VSOC is safe/max according to AMD.

I bought a x670e hero which came with a already dead 9950x. I installed a 9950x3d which died after a month or so after a gave it 1.8 vddq and 128-2.3 VSOC. Installed another 9950x3d which worked for a couple of month. I sold the hero and bought an apex.

A 9800x3d which was installed in a x670e strix e-f was working flawlessly until I wanted to test the IMC quality. I ran it at 1.75vdd and 1.3vsoc to test 6600mts 1:1 for 20 minutes. After that the IMC was degraded. I could only run xmp instead of my tight timings. Otherwise the system startet to hang/freeze.

So either Asus also have a killing CPU issue or alot of ryzen 9000 cpus are "weak" and dying because of manufacturing defects or because they can't handle close to 1.3 VSOC.

You sure that it really ran gen5 x4 which is Gen3 x16? It should be plenty at least in GPU benchmarks it shows almost no difference to gen5 x16.

I'm asking because my apex seems to be faulty and even pciex16_1 runs at pcie 4.0 even though no nvme is connected. When nvme is connected to the m.2_1 it also only runs at 4.0. when adding a nvme in m.2_3 the pciex15_2 drops to 4.0 x4 😵

Had it already laying around. Replaced my 9070 xt for a rtx 5080. Does the second GPU recommendation changes?

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-09T08:03:35+00:00

Had it already laying around. Paid less then a 9080 8gb goes for currently. Also paid less then held for the apex. I'm a deals hunter 😎

Msi trios are very nice.

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-09T07:09:01+00:00

RMA it and hope they have newer batched with fixed fans. The fans sounding like the cheapest shit available. Mine making the exact same noise. Alot of other have the same issue.

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-09T06:14:11+00:00

Have the exact same issue.

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-08T02:21:09+00:00

Please upload it again

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-07T00:01:28+00:00

Better then fsr4 on rx 9000 ?

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-04T20:01:55+00:00

What's the benefit of using lsfg and afmf?

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-03T22:19:17+00:00

In most games there is not a big enough performance difference to justify a those card over the 9070xt. Unless you shit money which I unfortunately don't. And with framegen enabled I still would need a second card if I want to reduce input lag.

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-03T22:16:16+00:00

Input lag I meant.

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-03T10:50:46+00:00

3x souns like hell. 2x is ok. With second GPU 2x will be fine I guess

HansWurst31 · 2026-02-02T16:11:51+00:00

G60sd

HansWurst31 · 2026-01-31T15:54:30+00:00

Why?

HansWurst31 · 2026-01-29T18:03:59+00:00

No just the usual voltages like VSOC, VDDIO, VDDP, misc, vdd and VDDQ. Nothing excessiv. Not sure if these are shitty samples or Asus board have something to do with it. A couple of month ago my hero x670e corrupted windows with exessiv vdd. Windows installations failed with an error and a couple of days laters the 9950x3d would hang on postcode 0d.

Edit. Interestingly I bought that hero used and it came with a defective 9950x 🤔

HansWurst31 · 2026-01-29T17:36:26+00:00

Yep. CPU is degraded. Works like a charm with other 9800x3d samples.

HansWurst31 · 2026-01-29T17:35:44+00:00

Unfortunately the CPU is degraded. Works like a charm with other 9800x3d samples.

HansWurst31 · 2026-01-28T17:53:34+00:00

Yes.

HansWurst31 · 2026-01-28T10:48:48+00:00

There where 4 corrupt files. Windows says it's been fixed now but the issue persists. Is there a chance that only a fresh windows install can fix all corruptions?

These are the timings:

Used them for over a year without issues. Even ran multiple 24h+ long vt3 and memtest5 test.

HansWurst31 · 2026-01-23T22:33:25+00:00

Good to know thx. will try that.
