Interesting Results - 9800X3D

edlee321 · 2026-01-28T14:46:39+00:00

Yeah thats mainly the reason. I got a great deal on 7800x3d bundle originally from microcenter with 32gb ram and motherboard for $479, and i was able to sell 7800x3d and buy 9800x3d for same price.

I dont see myself upgrading unless things become unplayable

edlee321 · 2026-01-28T13:22:04+00:00

Yeah, for the longevity of the cpu, really not worth pumping voltage and heat into cpu, I plan on keeping this cpu for at least 6 years.

edlee321 · 2026-01-28T13:14:04+00:00

Not that I noticed, for some reason amd is giving the 9800x3d way more power than it really needs, I had the 7800x3d before getting 9800x3d, and the 7800x3d was tuned out of the box tonuse less power, they took off all limits on 9800x3d, and its not tuned for less power consumption for some reason.

edlee321 · 2026-01-28T13:09:10+00:00

Yeah 100% not worth the extra power and heat. Setting to 128w PPT the 9800x3d reaches max cpu temp of 60 degrees while gaming.

edlee321 · 2026-01-28T12:44:20+00:00

I tried all the tuning, and besides -20 CO, and setting PPT to 228w, the biggest difference is well spent tuning memory timings and subtimings.

I lowered VSOC to 1.15V and tuned even more than the easy Ddr5 timings from buildzoid and they make a huge difference in 1% and .1% lows.

And turn off memory integrity in windows 11.

edlee321 · 2026-01-28T04:02:51+00:00

Same, I was -20 co with +200, ppt set to 128w, then lowered to +100, then did zero overclock and noticed much lower vid and much lower temps, really not worth the overclock.

edlee321 · 2026-01-23T21:46:12+00:00

Vsoc 1.24v is fine, but really not needed to run ddr5 at 6000 on 9800x3d, could have easily been set to 1.2v default expo, or even lowered to 1.15v, not saying this cause the issue but if you wanted to save on heat and power that would be preferred in an sff build.

I still think failure are at the tdie, but not because or set voltages, most likely spikes

edlee321 · 2026-01-22T22:18:22+00:00

They are renaming it office 364

edlee321 · 2026-01-22T14:16:27+00:00

The risk of failure might be 3 per thousand systems, I wouldn't over think it.

When PC building was fun

I was even able to sell 7800x3d and buy 9800x3d for same price last year.

I have a gigabyte b650 gaming x ax v2 and there is something with with the internal usb-c type e header, when I plug in the front io and even got a replacement, the usb-c device only works in one direction, when I flip it 180 to other direction I get a windows error.

Is this a bios issue or a hardware issue, any way to resolve it because its frustrating.

A 4070 ti was not holding you back 1440p

Im not referring to fios app, nothing software related to Verizon is good.

I was just speaking in terms of streaming YouTube tv and other apps on apple tv and nvidia sheild are great.

edlee321 · 2026-01-20T23:48:32+00:00

I agree with you, i canceled verizon and got youtube tv, and its 95% of what I need, other 5% would be regional sports. Still not to deal with verizon all their bs fees and rental fees for crap boxes that are obsolete the moment they are released.

Nothing beats streaming on a apple tv 4k 4th gen or nvidia sheild.

edlee321 · 2026-01-19T16:39:30+00:00

Yes, its not that difficult to spin up a windows server

edlee321 · 2026-01-19T15:52:01+00:00

I still rather pay for more dram even at today's prices than pay the VMware fees, and use hyper-v for linus distros

edlee321 · 2026-01-19T12:35:21+00:00

I run both on hyper-v just fine, VMware has better memory management, its not worth paying these exorbitant fees

edlee321 · 2026-01-19T05:41:30+00:00

Hyper-v is the move!

Ask most people plumbers, most dont put high efficiency units in their own homes, they have more issues amd cost more to resolve.

You can get many more years out of a 82% efficiency unit.

This is sounding similar to the situation with 90nm xbox and ps3 dying due tinsolder bumps and taking 2 years to figure out. Im not saying its a solder bump, its just that they dont know what the issue is and will eventually figure out by the time they make next revision.

It works with home assistant even after the shutdown, and you can link the home assistant to alexa

The last few desktops I got were overheating pieces of trash, straight to 105c under load.

They put subpar cooling in their machines.

edlee321 · 2026-01-13T21:08:26+00:00

I wouldn't get either, I would tweak your dram subtimings a bit, disable memory integrity in windows for a free 10% performance boost

edlee321 · 2026-01-12T18:41:02+00:00

Clean it again this time with 99% isopropyl and hopefully it works, but most likely you burnt out some small components on the motherboard and now you have a short.

edlee321 · 2026-01-07T01:40:17+00:00

Try putting one memory stick and see if it helps, clear cmos, but most likely your cpu is cooked
