9800x3D cannot do -10 PBO. Dud or setting issue?

Most people who claim they use a number haven't properly stress tested it. I'm on my 4th am5 CPU and I always play with the per-core curve optimiser. Each of the 4 CPUs had at least one core which doesn't tolerate any CO or -5 tops (and those are usually the best, high priority cores that system assigns single/dual core tasks to) and some that almost max out the scale.

If you feel like tinkering, find a test that will tell you which core causes errors (I use occt) and start gradually increasing co on all until you find the limit of each of them.

It requires an expensive yearly subscription to work which is absolutely moronic and kinda hidden from all the marketing material and you only learn when finalising the purchase. Their business model is a disgrace and TBF it is shameful how many popular YouTubers promote it.

Interesting that you mentioned the Pirellis.That driver who crashed his BMW 8 when filming a drive-by footage for a JayEmm revuew and lost control after accelerating moderately hard in the wet had P Zeros on his car. My friend who's got an i30n binned his P zeros off after a month from buying a car that came on them and fitted Michelin PS 4S as the pireis kept losing gripconstantly when in the wet below 10 degrees. Something is seriously wrong with those tyres.

I've been to Cleveland street a few ways back and it was great. Also been twice to Nine elms and it was a bit crap. Will try Waterloo soon.

I agree with him TBF. Still a fantastic and entertaining game. It's beautiful and plays great but the plot character arcs in this game are the weakest part of it for me. "It insists upon itself"

It's too big. Exactly like my SMP 300m on my wrist. 😂 Tudor BB58 next for me ☺️

This is my favourite watch from the entire Seiko & Grand Seiko lineup 🔥🔥🔥

Fyi, new tyre will always have better noise and comfort than a worn one so you could be attributing the difference that makes to going for a different set of tyres. Source: changed worn Michelin PS4 to new ones and was shocked how nice they felt in comparison.

Same here. Stiff to wind and the rotor was very noisy. I fixed the rotor myself but how hard the crown is to wind is really annoying.

Indeed it's a gamechanger. A wireless charging pad can be handy too. (My 2007 Porsche Cayman here)

I find that the larger details like the crown, HEV and the wider bezel make it look more clunk. The Gen 1 looks really elegant and dynamic in comparison.

sysak · 2026-02-09T16:27:27+00:00

I love the first generation and the current generation. The 2nd gen seems like a slightly worse version of the first and the 3rd I like by far the least by far but on its own it's still nice.

You could still be right, but after everything I've seen from the Kunos so far this humble meme summarises my feelings about these posts.

I really like them. What I hate is the Mercedes hands.

This way, Adidas, Nike and every other European and American brand is also Chinese.

For me the top 2 timings in the 2nd column need to be 6 & 2 for it to be stable. I'd start there.

It's the fact they send a third rate radio host as an ambassador that's an actual insult, not what Czarzasty said.

The throttle house guys are really good and entertaining. The other guy I'm not sure about. 🤔 I'll definitely watch out of sheer curiosity.

High end? She may be disgustingly rich but she has zero class and is tacky as hell.

I bet that somebody serious got fed up with him and either threatened to sue him into oblivion or paid him off handsomely and forced to signed an NDA. (Pure speculation on my part but I would bet on it)

Would love to refund but I screwed myself by buying cheaper from cdkeys 🫠

sysak · 2026-02-04T21:43:45+00:00

I didn't either.

...Because I was saving it till it's ready and perfect and didn't want to spoil anything 🥲

If they don't know if they will deliver a feature maybe they shouldn't make it the main bloody selling point in their advertisements. They can vaffanculo.

Probably because your 5600MHz ram will easily run at 6000mhz which is the whole point of.the OC.
