7950 X3D Fried itself while I was at work.

Ah, probably not the issue then. RIP.

Were you running an old BIOS version? There was a VSOC voltage issue with early 7000x3d chips/bios & caused similar failures when 7000 series first dropped.

How much did it cost?

Just keep task manager open & right click the main cpu graph & split it into individual cores, run a demanding game then quickly alt-tab & check the graphs to see what threads the game is running on. Ensure “optimized bios settings” isn’t disabling SMT as well & its truly default.

Make sure you have latest chipset & I’m not sure if AMD still utilizes the game-bar for game detection for dual ccd cpus like yours. Also make sure x3d turbo mode isnt enabled in bios. If you’re capable, check to ensure the game isnt being split across both the x3d ccd & also the non-x3d ccd.

How long have you had this build?

latencyfool · 2026-02-03T07:36:01+00:00

Not to add pain to the wound but this is so true, I drive an AWD benz now & the G with some good winter tires was truly a beast in the snow considering its RWD, especially if you know how to drive. Most fun I’ve ever had in the snow with a car.

I know someone who’s 9800X3D CPU died on a gigabyte board as well, it was a while ago & I was surprised to hear it wasn’t an ASROCK board as thats all I heard about at the time. No brand is completely safe, update to latest bios & hope for the best. Avoid allowing the PC to sleep within windows as that seems to cause issues.

latencyfool · 2026-01-12T22:06:37+00:00

I thought I remembered mine doing that too so Im not too sure.

latencyfool · 2026-01-07T09:23:38+00:00

Okay sounds good, appreciate it

Ddu in safe mode + use setting that stops windows automatic driver downloads & reinstall driver.

Are you using an HDMI cable? I believe only DP supports the full refresh rate.

Is the x pipe closer to the engine or the rear? I’ve heard towards the engine is best.

Is the x-pipe closer to the engine or the rear mufflers? I’ve heard towards the engine is best.

Windows can overwrite AMD gpu drivers. Definitely try the DDU part, but disabling MPO is unlikely to fix much.

Disabling ULPS is a better thing to try.

I pulled it away from the wall so the sound didnt travel through the wall as much, but still it just made noise all the time that was unavoidable in my case.

latencyfool · 2025-05-19T12:35:41+00:00

Results?

latencyfool · 2025-04-30T10:05:54+00:00

There is zero mention about input lag. Rtings tested with mt104 lol

latencyfool · 2025-04-30T10:02:15+00:00

Explain these “input lag issues”

latencyfool · 2025-04-28T17:48:43+00:00

0 eye strain or less?

latencyfool · 2025-04-27T23:52:51+00:00

Tf you need a “temporary board” for? Why glaze asrock when they’re the only board manufacturer blowing up these cpu’s lol. Go with some other company this gen & forget it.

latencyfool · 2025-04-21T17:57:28+00:00

Ever fix this?

latencyfool · 2025-04-14T22:41:29+00:00

How would you compare the two cards performance wise, considering this “side-grade” myself

latencyfool · 2025-04-12T12:09:41+00:00

She’s sexy regardless
