Another game destroyed by doing no optimization for PC...what a joke.

With the trend from the last months in gaming.. Last of us, RE4 and the new star wars games I think this boardrd is already dead on arrival 😅. Also impressive collection of gpus.

Oh look, cards with 8GB. Thx Nvidia 🤣🤣🤣 https://www.tomshardware.com/news/european-retailers-list-rtx-4060-ti-with-8gb-vram

Yeah its ASUS again 😀 destroying chips and now are doing damage control taking down old bios files for AM5. How glad i am i returned that ASUS board. I am not buying anything ASUS for a while, even if i get it for free ill sell it 😆

This is how my branded stuff came from ebuy7. Also I think some of unbranded pads are 0.25mm thick and the original is 0.2mm like mine.

💩💩💩

A no, in gaming, Cyberpunk 2077 with the 7950x3d. In CB23 it settled around 79-80, that honeywell pad is gold! @electrosoftNice infos, thanks. I eagerly await your findings and what you can squeeze out of the x3d chips. I think in the end you will have a home for the 7950x3d😁. Lovely chip and for a tinker like yourself is a dream come true 😄. The fact that is so well made for gaming but you also can use it for a power productivity build with the help of Process Lasso is awesome. Sry for the double post 😄

Yeah crazy that dual bios feature is missing but they put so much care building it nice with those pads on the backplate for extra cooling.

Nice, i need to tune my ram aswell still working expo at 6000 cl32.. Didnt buildzoid said that 2033 was the best on AM5? Or was that a bug at the beginnig. After i installed win 11 i found the best config for the 7950x3d chip, so in bios prefer frequency instead of v-cache, then in windows stay on balance mode and turn the crap game mode off and game bar aswell. Use process lasso and for Games use CPU Sets to v-cache, everything else leave it alone. Works wonders and love Process Lasso. Getting a little more fps in games like cyberpunk, but especially the lows are so high as before on the 7900x, its so smooth and the cpu is only consuming 60w ..Its crazy how efficient is this cpu, and with the honeywell pad it only goes to 50 Celsius. Now i need to play with PBO and Ram, if i have time..

Playing a lot of Cyberpunk 2077, with the introduction of RT Overdrive 😄. Maybe this time ill finish it

Thanks. ill need to monitor it then and see how it behaves. Right now it looks like after a night of cooling the pad i have improved again with the temp. Staying steady at 80 degrees C in CR23.

I see. Hopefully is not my case. Did this came over time or from the beginning? Il need to watch then for signs.

Oh how did that happen? I know on intel those are made to straighten the socket. For amd they are only for looks and to keep away the paste going over the weird looking ihs. Maybe helping with cooling for like 1 degree..

Nice, i also got my 7950x3d today and installed it. Still need to reinstall win 11 and do all the optimizing.. I hate Windows reinstall, I always try and keep it as long as possible, but in this case it looks like there is a performance impact when you go from a non V cache cpu to a vcache one.

Did some temperature cycles on the CPU with some game benches and now i get in C23 a max of 82 Celsius, so 4 degrees cooler as before when i apply it. This thing is solid good. Maybe it will improve further

Now i need to tinker with this special CPU, need to install Process Lasso 😄

Finally got the new 7950X3D inside, also used a secure frame on the cpu socket. 😀

I used a wide duct tape to take the second film from the pad and it worked, just one corner got a little stuck.

Got my 7950x3d inside and used the ptm7950 pad, also got a secure frame from Thermalright mounted. I dont know if it helps but looks cool and for 12 euros was ok😊. Now I need to leave the pad for curing. Did two r32 runs and the temp went to 86 only, so looks good no thermal throttling. 😁.. Well need to see how it behaves after some days of work and gaming.

My cpu arrived today and I hope I have enough time to mount it later. I have found an tutorial how to apply the pad without damaging it. I'll try and use it. Looks like it's good to freeze it and to take off the the plastic film from both sides is better to use a wide duct tape and peel it of from one go and not use the thin ones included in the package. https://community.frame.work/t/honeywell-ptm7950-phase-change-thermal-pads-sheets-application-tips-and-results/20245

Freezing didnt work? i was thinking thats the way to put it on. I was planning to put it in the frigde overnight and then applying it. LE: Forgot the ? 🙂

Good temps. What did you use? Paste or the pad? I am waiting for my new 7950x3d and i will use the pad on it.

Good rant and he is right. The prices went ballistic 😥
