Question Zen 4 builders thread

[Markfw]

I know its early, but as someone pointed out, I better get my ram now before the scalpers are all over it.

To go with a 7950x, what do you think of this ram:

Got my Fractal North yesterday, now only one tiny little thing needs to arrive...View attachment 78187

I just got my 5th 7950x for $549. Where on earth did you order from that still hasn't delivered it ???? Or did I miss something.

Anyone been changing SoC voltage?

I've gone from 1.3V to 1.25V just to see if there was a performance increase. Didn't see any. Haven't tried 1.15V yet. Wasn't sure if system would remain stable. Suppose I could give it a shot. My FCLK can't go above 2066MHz. Probably don't need high SOC voltage.

Tried it.

Don't do it.

It lasted approximately 0.0135 seconds in Prime95 before blue screening.

That was a fun experiment.

I think he's waiting for the 7800X3D.

I'm waiting for the 7800X3D to be released.

Can someone tell me, are the new non-binary (24GB), x2 DDR5 sticks/kits single or dual rank?

Thanks.

After scratching my head for almost one week i finally found the guilty of my problems, responsible random restarts when running memory heavy benchmarks, and it turns out, alittle performance throttling in some heavy workloads..

In the end it was the 2200mhz FCLK that was the root cause... And after that everything is behaving as expected again when limited to 2166mhz
And now i finally feel comfortable sharing stable memory settings

Aida and karhu 13k @ 6600/2166 7950X3D
314.52mb/s showing realworld performance


Fullscreen with hwinfo and 2 hours Y-cruncher all tests enabled:


And some of the memory benchmark numbers from the latest run: (will have to do new runs @ non-throttling 2166/6600 in future)

PYPrime 2B @ 7.233s


SuperPi 32m @ 289.026s


Y-cruncher 2.5B @ 41.758s

The 24GB DIMMs should be single rank and the 48GB DIMMs dual rank.

I get memory errors on my config at 1.2V or lower. The default EXPO 1.25VSOC seems stable. I'm running 2067/6200C28 tuned timings.

Got my TechN block today. Yay! Still waiting on the Alphacool block. Keeping my fingers crossed for early April.

I'm waiting for the 7800X3D to be released.

Me too!! Anyone know the ETA release release date for the 7800x3d??
I picked up a second mobo/cpu combo this weekend. this time went with the 7700x and the Gigabyte x670 Aorus Elite AX.
This will hold me over till I can get my hands on a 7800x3d to replace the 7700x with it.

Currently have all hwbots records for the 7950X3D

I don't see the 7950X3D or any X3D really being a a CPU for people that only do overclocking and benchmarking. It's not going to set records in synthetics.

It's a gaming CPU for gaming first and foremost.

I get it though, it's your hobby and I can respect that.

Who says i'm only doing overclocking and benchmarking ?

Dang! That's the most impressive number of all the results you've posted in this thread.

 

[AdamK47]

Wait, how can you have 0 achievements with so many hours?

 

[Det0x]

Have been playing with mods from the getgo

Oh, that will do it. Not that I care about Steam achievements anyway.

 

[Ranulf]

You only get achievements in iron man mode in Stellaris. No mods and no save scumming allowed.

Is there any consensus on the best B650 board(s) to buy? (or <400 X670?)

Is there any consensus on the best B650 board(s) to buy? (or <400 X670?)

Probably not but the B650E Aorus Master really caught my eye when it came out.

 

[biostud]

Depends on your needs. I think ASRock has good value, but they use an older audio codec.

 

[lopri]

ASUS TUF B650-PLUS is the best value. (Alternative: MSI B650 Tomahawk) If money is no object then either ASUS B650-E or Gigabyte B650E Aorus Master.

 

[biostud]

Is pcie 5 x16 important to you? Then make sure it is a B650E board.
Is wifi?
Is a modern audio codec?
