The Columbus Micro Center had what looked like several dozen 9800X3Ds in stock. Website showed 25+ before opening. What I saw once inside was much more. Now the site shows only 4 in stock and I'm willing to bet those are hold orders.
 
What are people thinking on using to cool the 9800x3d.
I was thinking about the arctic freezer 3 for cost/performance and secondarily quiet.
What are other top tier options? None of that LCD crap for 2x the cost tho! =P

Got my 9800X3D installed.

PBO clock offset works. Trying out +200. Max clock in HWINFO64 shows 5425MHz.

Running some tests now. I'll see how it goes.

Run Final Fantasy 14 DawnTrail at laptop preset please. Want to see how a normal, mildly tuned setup compares to the leaked 5.6 all core score that was posted a few weeks back in the Zen 5 thread. :laughing:

I don't remember right now, but it's something "assassin" and it's $35. Hope you can find that,
 
I got home after an errand, and newegg said the 9800x3d was back in stock. I immediately said yes, put it in my cart, it did ahile loading newegg, but by the time I was at checkout, it was already OOS.

BUT that means they are getting restocked frequently !

What were the symptoms/what tipped you off to the degradation? Which SKU were you running and under what conditions? This whole Raptor Lake degrading thing is just super curious.

I had been running an undervolt for about a year no problem. Suddenly I started having freezes under heavy loads. I updated the BIOS with the new Intel microcode and ditched the undervolt. Max frequencies went way down at the same watts since I'm now pushing auto clocks. Freezes were less but still there. Backed down clocks to 4.5 and no more freezes. Degradation. Slow if you don't push the CPU, fast if you push hard. I ran my 13900K auto for 3 months before it degraded. Went easy on the 14900k and it lasted a year. I've learned if you have one of these 5GHz should be the max and that might be pushing it a few hundred MHz.

Can we stick with your Zen 5 build, and put this stuff in the regrading thread ????
 
I caught one at 5pm CDT on newegg but it made me put my card info in again and canceled after saying processing. So I think they may be slow walking them out the door. They had mobo bundles available up to around 11am CDT.

Almost caught it again, but newegg is dumb with their asking for protection insurance ect. got it saved for later though.

Probably should have took the cheapest bundle this morning and tried selling the mobo.

Probably the Peerless Assassin from Thermaltake? Great cooler, great price too. I have that on my 5800X3D.

Also recommend the ThermalRight Phantom Spirit 120 EVO, BIG, 7 pipe quality cooler that handles my 9900X just fine. Cost me $48 from Amazon.

Want a more monstrous 8 pipe ThermalRight cooler? Check out the 140mm Silver Arrow IB-E Extreme.

Ah yes I knew that, I must have mistyped lol!
 
I also have the Peerless Assassin. It's good for about 200W. 175W is perfect for a quiet ride but you can push it to 225W or so.
 
In my original cooling post I was mentioning AIO's as I want one for the looks/quiet.
The standard lumps are nice but so durn big, I just dont like the looks.
So I was hoping for a few alternate opinions on AIOs as well! =)
I had a corsair for 12 years and it never failed, but it seems like I dont see alot of people using corsair today.

This is one the reasons I bought a Deep Cool LT720. It is not as big and bulky as others, doesn't require a USB or SATA power connection (just a fan header and aRGB) and was reasonably priced. Unfortunately if you live in the states (and maybe in some other places), they are no longer sold (banned). Use PCPartPicker.com and select the size of the AIO you want. You can then hover over the thumbnail for a quick glance at the item and see if there are any worth further investigation.
