The amount of people asking me if this applies to their non X3D CPU or their 5800X3D or 7800X3D has me a little concerned. I know I mentioned that this only applies to 7900X3D and 7950X3D or any future multi CCD X3D CPUs but I'm realizing that many people don't really understand how their AMD CPUs are arranged internally. This is one of the many reasons chiplet designs are so confusing to those who don't care or follow this sort of material. So short answer is no; this doesn't affect you if you don't a 7900X3D or 7950X3D.

@dustingarder7409 no need to be a dick about it man@@Rambo42088you should not have significant stutter with that combo of components. You should have very good performance, in fact. If you do have issues, a wipe may be in order. Bear in mind it could also be the games you're testing.

Actually, when using Revo Uninstaller, you can do the restart when prompted. After the computer reboots, open Revo again. It will ask if you want to finish removing the stray folders, files, and registry entries from the uninstall that was being done prior to the restart.

Yes, it's a smart move. The method AMD designed to route threads to the single 3DV-Cache CCD is almost a Chinese fire drill. Bios, PPM, 3DV-cache service, Microsoft Game bar. The latter being the weakest link of them all. Sometimes it will misclassify a game it doesn't know. And the gains you experience with all the X3D CPUs are the highest with a RTX 4090 @ 1080P. But the 7800X3D avoids all of this and does what it does right out of the box without the complexities. Not all games are faster with the 3DV-cache. But many are. But you do end up with a lower clocked CPU compared to the 7700X. So there are trade-offs with these.

PSA: Anyone using PBO on a 7950X3D or 7900X3D will want to ensure that they are NOT also setting a positive frequency offset within the same settings menu. X3D chips are frequency locked and can't be adjusted, which is fine, but doing so will also break CPPC behavior and revert it to auto/defaults (even if Cache, Frequency or Driver is selected!). Nobody seems to cover this small, yet important BIOS quirk, but given the video topic hopefully it'll do some good via this comment. Anyone with an X3D chip will be tempted to go straight into the PBO menu to begin tweaking CO values (good!), but bumping up the frequency offset out of habit will only result in head scratching and troubleshooting (bad!). Not an issue on the single CCD parts, rest easy if you're on a 7800X3D.

In theory Boost Clock Override of +200 would give an upper ceiling of 5.9GHz on a single core of 7950x3d assuming all other parameters could support it.

Yes you must be in the window of the game and it’ll run on CCD0. Once you’re out of that game window it switches to frequency. It’s done rather quickly. But I noticed when you Alt+Tab as the windows pop up I saw it switch immediately. So I was able to confirm that it’s actually on CCD0 while actually in the game window. If you have a big screen you can click the game window and have ryzen master open like Jay did in this video to see the game running on CCD0

I have a 5600x, so while this didn't apply to my chip specifically, learning about Chipset Drivers was helpful because I've been dealing with my CCD#0 spiking over 95C for seemingly no reason. Just one day, my fans started ramping up, I try adjusting the fan curves to see if that helped. No luck. Then I started to get an occasional warning on reboots "CPU Overheating alert! Please check CPU cooler is firmly attached and working properly." So this led me to re-pasting my CPU. Then I manually throttled PBO to 75C, and that kept if from breaking 95C, but CCD#0 was still getting into the 90s. No matter what I did, my temps were 20C higher across the board (when idle or gaming), for again, no apparent reason, as before this I hadn't changed anything in months. Finally, after watching this video and installing the Chipset drivers, my temps are more inline with what they used to be, and CCD#0 barely peaks at 80C.

I just bought a 7900x3d over the weekend and I do see some of this in Ryzen Master so THANK YOU! Reposting this everywhere I can to get this info out to friends. Edit: Tested swapping on an MSI MPG X670E Carbon Wifi, Gskill 2x32gb = 64gb ddr5 6000Mtz and the 7900x3d and it totally switched from CCD 0 and CCD 1 to using only CCD 0 for games. I didn't reinstall AMD drivers but I do have amd3dvcacheSvc running and have the latest drivers install plus switched the UEFI setting for CPPC to Driver. Booted up Destiny 2 and INSTANTLY swapped over to only CCD 0 and the top 12 boxes in task manager when showing logical processors. MASSIVE thank you!

Instead of Game Bar and all that BS and parking CCD-1. Set the BIOS to prioritize the frequency cores (CCD-1), then use Process Lasso to set your games to run on CCD-0 with the 3D V-Cache. This way all the background processes and misc programs/services run on the CCD-1 and the game runs on CCD-0. Better than "core parking" where ALL the process, background, etc will be pushed to CCD-0 along with the game. Why give up an entire CCD just to play a game? This works great on my 7950 X3D. Play a game and it's isolated to CCD-0 with the 3D v-cache while watching your KZbin video using CCD-1/frequency core 😊

Theoretically it should be possible for games to do this themselves, without any Xbox game bar or whatever. AFAIK the whole "core parking" thing is a Windows API that any application can hook into and tell windows what it prefers. Though I do think it's on AMD to streamline their software stack to handle this better, because it's not all that realistic to expect every game/engine dev to optimize for a somewhat niche CPU that few people have, even if it's not that much work to do.

@@Hugh_I The game bar has always been the best way of handling it. It's worked perfectly for me since day one, because my boards Auto is effectively defaulting to driver, but it seems some boards are doing the opposite. That's where the primary hang up is. The 2nd issue is far more niche because once the 5800X3D existed most if not all people jumping to AM5 were only ever going to have 1 CPU in there. As an AM4 R9 owner, if you wanted the benefit of X3D and all the threads you were likely only going to get the 7950X3D. Most everyone else that prioritized gaming just got the 7800X3D. The only large collection of people flip flopping CPUs in a brand new platform were youtubers doing benchmarks.
@Hugh_I2 ай бұрын
@@blkspade23 yeah, agree. I would guess few users have as many issues as youtubers swapping CPUs around constantly. What I mean by streamlining is something like, if I was AMD, I would just implement a little check in the driver installer or maybe Ryzen Master that reads out what the CPCC BIOS setting is, what the windows game mode setting thing is etc. and either suggest to users that have a dual CCX X3D chip to change those settings, or if possible, just provide a one click "please enable best X3D gaming performance"-button to do it. That shouldn't be too hard to implement and would solve a lot of fuzz around the issue.
@blkspade232 ай бұрын
@@Hugh_I It's is streamlined. On a clean install with a R9 x3D, the chipset driver installer detects the CPU and has the relevant options enabled by default. Windows even has game mode enabled by default already. People found reasons in the past before X3D to disable game mode. Xbox game bar is only going to be out of date for people that have some old revision of WIn10 and never install updates. Those are conscious decisions by the user that might break things. The failure here is just that certain mobo manufacturers have their "Auto" actually just being Frequency, which is incorrect. If Auto were equal to Driver, it would actually be automatic behavior.

The "3D V-Cache Performance Optimizer" is correctly installed and running, games are running on the 3D V-Cache-Core, benchmarks show good results. Maybe I am just a lucky guy, or it isn´t all that bad with AMD. Anyway, thanks for your video! At least you showed me where to look at and how to test.

If this cleanup can be performed by Revo without reboot, AMD certainly *_can and should_* bake this into their (un)installer along with a model check. Frankly, to avoid these issues AMD should just install the PPM provisioning and 3D V-Cache optimizer drivers as a baseline. Then keep those services and device entries disabled unless and until an appropriate CPU model is detected during boot. The PPM driver does the actual core parking for non-X3D / V-cache _multi-CCD_ models too, so it should most definitely be included. That route would overall _help _*_vastly_*_ more_ of their customers, than it might be a _very_ minor annoyance to the _tiny_ group of advanced users that may have a niche or troubleshooting need to manually override those services. Just make sure to post an accessible documentation paragraph on those services (and associated devices seen in Device Manager), what they do, their (default) behavior and how to fully uninstall them.
