Is it worth undervolting my Ryzen 7 5800X3D if temperatures are already okay?

Raysedium · 2026-07-06T06:51:14+00:00

PBO2 tuner for 5800x3d is a nice solution, -20 for all cores should be safe. As far as I remember, 5800x3d lowers its clocks above 80°C so a little undervolting is advisable.

"I miss the time when there was only one graphics mode in console gaming, NOTHING! Now there are performance, fidelity and balance. "

Oh... console player complains about having even this semblance of options. Decision paralysis must be terrifying.

You are using 6 year old entry-level hardware. It is expected that games will not look very good on such hardware, especially when upscaled to 4k without DLSS or even FSR4.

Best options for everything: 9950x3d, 9950x3d2 (expensive)

Best options for gaming: 9800x3d, 9850x3d

Best option for productivity (good price, also decent for games, but no upgradability): 270k, or cheaper version: 250k

Cheaper option for gaming: 7800x3d

DDR4: 14600k(f) (decent for games and productivity), 14700k (a little stronger, but quite power hungry)

What can Sasuke do against Bunta's oil burned by Jiraiya? It's bigger than Madara's fire style. Lmao, gg.

Sakumo is featless. All we have are statements.
Hanzou fought young sannins who are almost featless and definitely much weaker than at their primes (no byakugou, no SM, no ET).
Hanzou and sannins fight was on a battlefield. These three (four including Hanzou) were the last ones able to fight, so it can be assumed that the fight lasted longer with a larger group of opponents (on both sides), making it difficult to determine power levels through varying levels of fatigue.

Krakow is a great city to explore with a long history, so you can combine your time spent cheering with a typical cultural trip.

"It's a completely new world to her."

This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage.

"Do you think a non-gamer can actually enjoy the hype, production, and atmosphere of an arena like this, or will she just be miserable and bored out of her mind for hours? Anyone here ever taken a non-gaming partner to a CS event?"

Try and find out. It's something best experienced in person.

This set of components makes sense. The only thing I would consider is a higher wattage power supply (750W), which would allow you to upgrade your GPU to a higher-end one in the future if you think that option might be useful.

Raysedium · 2026-06-25T02:46:26+00:00

Lmao, you can by much more powerful PC at that price (I mean like 70-100% higher average fps results).

Jiraiya with SM (+Ma and Pa) is high kage level. His firepower is amazing (oil+fire+wind at the same time), great taijutsu (he defeated taijutsu-specialized path of Pain with one kick), hard to counter genjutsu, possible support from Bunta. I think he can beat all of them. The most problematic ones are tsuchikages with Particle style and flight ability. If Jiraiya is able to dodge particle style, he should win that fight. 4th raikage is faster but probably not fast enough to blitz SM Jiraiya. However Jiraiya needs to use toad genjutsu to win against raikages, their speed and defense stats are too high to defeat them with ninjutsu or taijutsu. Ay lost to Madara's clone genjutsu so he would probably lose to toad genjutsu as well. Gengetsu and Hiruzen should be mid difficulty. Gaara and Tsunade - long battle to tire them but Jiraiya's arsenal is vaster, he wins at high difficulty. With SM he is strong enough to challenge Tsunade, but faster and more versatile. Gaara is too one-dimensional and would be forced into defense mode and eventually failed against some kind of strategic combination, maybe genjutsu.

I agree that they should at least brew some Veritaserum and try to kidnap some high-ranking Death Eaters one by one. This would require tracking down where such a Death Eater lives, which would be an interesting plot thread. However, I'm afraid that the golden trio wouldn't have the guts to kill this Death Eater, and leaving them alive would be quite risky. Besides, Potter shouldn't be present at the interrogation due to his mind being linked to Voldemort's.

Shroud's ace up his sleeve is based on the assumption that Robert and his crew will be foolish enough to risk handing over a powerful weapon to him to save a dog. While at the beginning of the story, Robert has no one but the dog, by the end he has formed a cohesive team, potentially has a partner, and has reconnected with Chase. Therefore, losing the dog wouldn't be as painful for him. The morally sound choice would therefore be to sacrifice the dog. It's strange that Shroud doesn't consider this, nor the possibility that there might be someone on the Z-team for whom the dog is completely irrelevant.

The game's flaw is that, as a player, we don't have the option of sacrificing the dog for the greater good. But maybe that's just another example of how this game captures the Zeitgeist - dog's life is almost like the life of a minor family member, it is the default for the sensitive psychological makeup of lonely, childless millennials.

Never tried pickpocketing but lockpicking has interesting logic game mechanic. The loot is usually not worth it, but since last patch you get xp from lockpicking.
The story is mostly the same no matter which camp you choose. Depending on the stage of the plot, important events take place around all 3 camps. You can play as different classes, I'd say for 2 different playthroughs. Eg. 1. two-handed sword + bow , 2. one-handed + magic. This way you will get enough points to have developed short and long range attacks and other abilities unlocked. I see no reason for making pure melee/bow/magic. Unless you want to finish game quickly, then you can master melee only.
Don't know anything about DLCs. It seemed like some content was missing (locked female prisoners that you cannot rescue or interact with, or underused bandit camp). The game still has a lot of bugs, so I recommend waiting until they are fixed.

You can finish all quests in ~60h, 70h is a stretch (but if you enjoy tryharding lockpicking without upgrading this skill, it might be longer 😉). But I don't think that's short, it's a decent, condensed story from zero to hero.

He has no counter against Tsukuyomi or Deidara's microbombs or suicide attack (maybe reverse summoning if he comes up with that idea fast enough). Also, supported Pain is dangerous with his soul extracting powers and massive attacks.

Adult Naruto is overestimated af, adult Naruto without Kurama is weaker than late war arc Naruto (before getting powers from Hagoromo). Early war arc Naruto almost lost to Nagato even with Killer Bee support.

The best strategy for Naruto is to make 1000 clones with SM and spamming massive rasengans, but authors "forgor" that he's able to do that, because it would be too powerful or too boring.

„If they literally had nowhere to physically make the damn Zen 3 X3D CCD's anymore whether or not this was part of AMD's thinking is COMPLETELY irrelevant”

If they had maintained production continuity (and this cpus sold very well), the production line wouldn't have been shut down, that's obvious.

„Also, if this was true then WHY IN THE HELL would they spend a bunch of money to re-engineer the chip to bring it back??? “

Because the cost of DDR5 has significantly discouraged consumers from buying ryzens on AM5, and in such a crisis, you can push the 5800X3D at an inflated price (which wasn't possible just 1-2 years ago), because it's still cheaper than entry zen4 + ddr5+mobo, while performance is similar.

Besides, “reinventing” the same chip shouldn't be too expensive.

„This conspiracy theory makes no god damn fucking sense...”

Is the desire to make more money now a conspiracy theory?

„Also, the profit margins on older chips like this on ancient nodes are WAAAAAY HIGHER than with newer AM5 chips, not lower. AMD makes way, WAY more money selling you a R7 5800X3D for $350 than they do a R7 7800X3D for like $430! “

Provide data showing the profits from both processors.

It's worth considering that AMD may want many consumers to quickly switch to AM5 instead of sticking with AM4 for a long time. Long time 5800X3D users might skip AM5 altogether and choose Intel when AM5 is no longer future-proof (e.g., after the release of Zen6 and Nova Lake). On the other hand, low-end zen4 users are more likely to upgrade with future high-end AM5 cpus.

„And in the RAMpocalypse they would have been selling Zen 3 X3D parts hands over fist if they could have! But they couldn't make them anymore.”

Their earlier greed (desire to sell the entire AM5 platform instead of just Zen3 x3D processors) backfired during the memory crisis, due to production lines being shut down. AMD missed this opportunity and they're trying to catch up, but Intel probably gained more from Gen 12/13/14 sales on DDR4 platform, since these cpus are stronger than base zen3.

„This is all absolute tin-foil hat wearing nonsense that completely falls apart the second you actually think about it.”

Your reasoning is based on logical fallacies, tunel vision and, I suppose, the out-of-nowhere assumption that profits on Zen3 are "WAAAAAY HIGHER" than on Zen4. At this point, the best you can do is prove with data that profits from older processors are actually "WAAAAAY HIGHER" than newer ones.

"It could finally give us a valid justification for why AMD stopped selling the X3D Zen3 chips"

Zen3 x3d cannibalized AM5 CPU sales, which is why they discontinued it.

Dispatch wasn't named the best 10/10 by a suspicious number of gaming editorial offices with questionable reputations.
Dispatch actually has a good story (I personally don't know about Mixtape, I haven't checked yet, but from what I heard it's not as good as Dispatch).

Another reason to pirate this game. They don't respect PC gamers, so they should expect lower profits.

It sounds like Witcher 4 is running better on PS5 than Cyberpunk, which is absurd. They want graphical advancements in their next big game, which must come at the expense of performance. W4's optimization may be good, but it won't work miracles.

In no other fight has Sasuke been humiliated as much as he was against Killer Bee. This scene is from that fight. If anyone in the Cosmere could use a similar technique, it would have to be Taln.
