thats ok, i believe in the community 😉 well always find a way to unlock our hardware *mwahaha*

decline of social media you say? im all for it! let those cesspools full of idiots die out 🙂 575? ONLY?! wheres my 675W via external cable and pcie connector? cmon Nvidia, you can do better..... 😛

makes sense, theyre probably collecting high-binned chiplets for the high core count X3D parts. boy what a "trade-in" that is 😄 yeah thats blown outta proportion it seems. HUB tested it and its mainly just due to the filter option. switch that off and ure good to go 🙂

i saw this thread pop up and my very first thought was: oh, that reminds me of @Khenglish and his previous / legendary 980 / 1080 core swaps! then I saw the OP: OF COURSE ITS KHENGLISH! 😄

welp i can take care of the europe side of things, also got an AM5 delidder handy 😄 i feel ya, iirc it took me like 60-70 repetitions to get mine off. its a bit of a chore, but definitely straight forward process 🙂

how dare you mislabel my Extreme as a lowly pleb Hero?!

funny timing, Jufes just did a comparison of all three (stock IHS, HP IHS, direct die): delid + stock IHS = no difference HP IHS + paste = -5C HP IHS + LM = -10C direct die = -20C

i know EXACTLY the position ure in, i got my build right before our little one came along, as well haha 😄 get in all the building and tuning u can before ure a dad! nice, so hows the experience with the P5800X so far? how does it compare with a regular SSD as an OS drive? does it actually provide any real life difference?

yeps, remembered correctly! its still unoptimized though, had been planning to shave down the plastic standoffs for proper cold plate contact, and now its a year later (damn, having a kid REALLY kicks you in the balls in terms of having time for hobbies lol). anyways, planning to get me another one due to their improved manufacturing, and with 9950X3D around the corner, might as well do all that in combo with a fresh windows install and the 5090 🙂 lemme know what ur findings are! noice, pls some more deetz switching from regular flash SSDs to the P5800X, im highly interested 🙂 which capacity / sku are u sporting? how much did u get it for?

if the 9950X behaves anything similar to the 7950X after delidding and bare die cooling, the temp drop should be quite substantial:

btw ure gonna love this: mentioned before im playing Serious Sam 3 BFE, completed the main game and currently going through the expansion pack. every time Sam makes a comment I picture you running around with bigass guns shooting alien scum 😄

yep, im starting to hear the 9950X scream your name 😄 keep it up! Team purple, I like that 😄 Can I count myself, too, as the caretaker of my lady's machine? 😛

what goes through my head when i read Zen6 in late 2026/27: AM5 promise by AMD goes until "2027+", so best to push Zen6 right up until that point to avoid having to include ANOTHER gen on AM5 😛 keeping their promise but doing everything they can to offer less by it....

noice, good to see theres still some wiggle room in going with different sticks 🙂 fixed voltage FTW for multicore benches, but once u want the max single thread performance theres no way around PBO shenanigans unfortunately.

thats pretty good for just 2 days of tuning bro Fox! once u manage to get all timings tuned u should end up around mid/high 50s for latency, roughly 100GB/s+ on Read/Write and 90+ on Copy. as for DDR5-8000, thats highly motherboard dependent it seems. 7600 should be doable on all boards, 8000 on about half, and only the RAM champs can do 8200-8600.

u and me both, only reason i got the ROG Extreme board. i would be VERY disappointed if AM5 wont support Zen 6, even Zen 7 should be still the same socket. Zen 8 on AM6, fine by me, but not before! lulz, predictable. i wonder how many of the initial stock went to scalpers....

9950X3D it is, then 🙂

VERY curious to see what ur thoughts will be 😄 btw, happy election day in the US! just like with Intel vs. AMD, whether u guys vote team blue or red, just go out and do the work! 🙂

while those are some promising numbers, WHY THE HECK DO THEY ALWAYS CHOOSE GEEKBENCH?! that bench is sooooo completely useless 😄

LOL thats another way to put it then @"selling out DOZENS of cpus" 😛 but hey, that would still be more than the largest european hardware shop sold in a week 😄

aint it interesting that american sites basically sell out of arrow lake CPUs, whereas in europe nobody dare touch that stuff with a 10 foot pole? 😄 on this note, more deetz on the upcoming 9800X3D, this time with full overclocking capabilities, same as with the regular skus: lets hope AMD did get the numbers right this time around 😄

i like the full OC capabilities 🙂 lets hope AMD got the numbers right this time around 😄 i wouldnt call +8% vs the 7800X3D a "banger" but definitely nothing to sneer at!

VERY curious to see how many here will finally cave and still go with the 285K in the end 😄 meanwhile, more rumours of intel being bought / taken over, this time by Samsung or Apple, could u imagine that?!

well ill be damned... manually maxed out all settings and its got my 4090 pegged at 100% flat on my max OC profile at roughly 3105 Mhz core. that results in 64 FPS LOL

lets hope intel can built upon this like AMD did. i mean, u do gotta start at some point, might as well be Arrow Lake!
