Yeah but then that 5090 burns your house down!

In some instances, a boost of +600 MHz and generally above 5550 MHz.

9850X3D@4800 MT/s vs. 9800X3D@5600 MT/s: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/14958381?baseline=15417821

Great. That makes sense now. Thank you! :)

I really hope you are right!

Same ones that are used in a backplane. I'm starting to get annoyed at this word. Like what if you want to extract the data off of such a SAS drive without access to a backplane? So I understand the wider connector goes into the drive's back. What's this smaller connector? How does it give...

@Skillz I'm hoping you know the answer to my burning question. I have the opportunity to get a bunch of cheap SAS SSDs but I have zero idea on how to get them working. Any good suggestions for the required (and affordable) HBA card and cables and how to power the drives since the SAS connector...

Yeah but the fear is (as it was during COVID and for some time afterwards) that we won't have DIY gaming as a hobby anymore if things keep going this way. It's been one thing after the other against what many of us consider OUR way of life. It's that fear of having to live in a world where...

Will you be able to resist the temptation of the 9850X3D? :P

At least for the halo SKUs, they should do some extra work to make it worth the cost. Like maybe a thin electrically insulating artificial diamond sheet over the dies and then the IHS made of graphene. Shouldn't cost that much, right?

Did you start using it already? If yes, what BIOS version and have you noticed anything fishy in the voltages? Do you have your iGPU turned off? Manual RAM OC or EXPO? What type of cooling? Mine is 9950X3D+ASROCK B850 Pro RS (stock BIOS). I've done some nasty stuff to it, the last of which was...

Could also be an inside job. Maybe someone got promoted undeservedly and now in order to get that person fired and relieved of duty, his underlings are working in tandem to deliver crappy BIOS. I mean, ANYTHING is possible in this weird world. But I can't help thinking that AMD knows what the...

Yes but I've seen too many reports of people complaining that they were "just" watching a movie or browsing when their Ryzen died. Could be paid shills trying to discredit Ryzen reliability. Have to admit, can't rule that out. I mean, this could be an easy stealth sabotage attempt by Intel...

Yeah, there was a Mars Gaming AIO cooler (some UK brand?) advertising 600W TDP. Pretty sure it can't even do half that but it was interesting to see such hyperbole.

Interestingly, you are immune to this problem because most cases have been with light workloads so higher frequency than all core load frequency. It's something related to more volts required to hit higher boost frequency and sometimes, the volts get too high for too long and things are getting...

https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/the-anti-ai-thread.2614405/post-41540398 Well, at least the numbers don't compute. Looking forward to OpenAI burning down to the ground.

Aren't there similarities? That Reddit one died on the desktop doing basically nothing which we know is not really nothing since Windows processes keep bugging the CPU cores and making them hit really high clocks. This is somewhat similar to people just watching movies or browsing on their...

He does have an ASUS mobo. They were, I think, the first one to start showing voltage related issues with AM5 CPUs.
