Extreme Overclocking AMD's R9 9950X CPU to 6.6GHz

[@GamersNexus]

At 20:28 or so, Bill of AMD misstates the WPRIME WR as 1.61, but it is actually 1.061. They will need higher clocks to beat the 16C WR and for now have only displaced the 7950X record for WPRIME, but not the 16C WR. The Cinebench numbers appear to have been accurately read and stated. Tons of CPU coverage on the way.

I have a question: 4k gaming = CPU res to go by when DLLS is being used. If going from a res less than 4k to 4k is CPU going by 4k or the res less than? Don't want to spend more on CPU if upscaling is 4k to the CPU (GPU takes over part) thus, spend more for the Video Card.

3:17 this is exactly what was happening with my undervolted R9 5900X. It worked great at load but then at idle my PC would crash, and this wasn't mentioned in ANY of the undervolting videos I watched, and I watched atleast 20 different undervolting videos by major techtubers. It's the reason why I basically gave up on undervolting my CPU because it happened at almost every offset.

[@JMUDoc]

I think it's the same for everybody - I had a 5700X that would hold -30 all cores for Cinebench and OCCT, but fell over while watching KZbin. You have to stability test in the low-load/high frequency zone and accommodate _that,_ even if you know there's more in the tank further down the curve. Well... you _used_ to have to do it that way😁

Check your boards VDROOP. It's a board issue more than a CPUI issue. I have -30 offset on my 7800x3d with no issues.

@@simonseide9791 The node upgrade also means a density increase, so heat density may be just as high. As long as AMD insists on cooler compatibility from AM4 and the attendant thicc IHS this will be an issue.

[@noth606]

@@concinnus hmm the node update may or may not translate that directly to performance gains, more than likely it won't at least initially. The main issue is that the switching power levels do not scale the same way, and the same applies to a number of other relevant factors. If it wasn't like that, there would be no redesign needed, simply make the same exact chip scaled down in size for immediate performance increase from clock boost. We all know that isn't how it works. Would be cool if it was though. But not just that, IPC isn't even really so much where the game is, it's in things like cache optimization and even to a degree optimizing the execution path of specific instructions and using predictively fetched caches to eliminate wait states. So in other words optimizations not of instructions per clock but streamlining the execution of specific clusters or combinations of instructions that are used often like for example SIMD types triggering predictive fetch streams from cache and such. The low hanging fruit has been picked but the landscape isn't barren yet, by a long shot. It just gets more complicated and specific.

Frustration with Intel def plays in, because really who wants to be hit with a bait and switch, but boycotting is not my main issue here. When I buy something, especially at the top of the line, which is what Intel's 14900K is supposed to be, I expect it to be reliable. It's like getting a car, a washing machine, a microwave or whatever. If it does not give me the performance promised, and I have to worry about it giving me a headache down the road, I will really consider ditching it. I get being committed and sticking with it, and that's fine for some folks, but, for me, it's not so easy, lol. But yeah yeah, primarily don't want to have a nagging feeling of it degrading on me at the worst time, and at the same time, I am indeed miffed that intel pulled some funny business. When it comes down to it, if Intel's next gen proved to be better, and intel admits they addressed issues plaguing these 13/14900 chips, then I may buy from them again. Only company I have straight up boycotted and stuck with is Dell, lol.

@@Lue1337 Indeed. Hopefully they learn from this and pick it up next generation. I think channels like GN and others go a long way toward holding these companies to account, and, hopefully, they start to learn from these mishaps.

Thanks for the video. Very interesting. The overlocking dealt more with tight voltage and harmonizing frequenting, instead of juicing more power and more cold. This is actually very good. This means there is more play in the frequency curves than chip manufacturers realize. They can make more efficient chips with current designs. Best comparison would be like tuning a CPU chip like a vehicle engine to get more operation efficiency.

[@stuntvist]

Curve shaper looks almost identical to engine mapping. You take a few sensor inputs for both how the engine is actually running and what the actual input conditions are (fuel, air, timing, load etc), then use that to create a lookup table (which is often visualized with a map similar to the graphs shown early in the video) for how the engine should behave in any given scenario with a few additional safety tweaks based on input from other sensors (knock, EGT, oxygen etc). Genuinely if you know how to overclock and know how an engine works, you could probably tune one fairly competently without any real training or experience. It's almost scary how similar they are lol.

That's fun! Thanks! About 6months before the launch of Ryzen(2015±), I got a really good deal on a FX9590 ("Bulldozer"...I think) AND one of the best OC mobos for that chip. It was clocked at 4.7Ghz stock but had a 5.0ghz boost with proper cooling and was able to hit 5.2Ghz with CRAZY good cooling. It even came with a 120mm AIO which was the min spec cooler to run stock. It would near TJ max at idle with a regular air cooler! It was pulling like 220 watts! I built a custom water loop using a mini freezer and played around with it. Without PERFECT memory timing for each type of application, it was extremely unstable @5.1-5.2, but it was manageable at 5Ghz base clock with the right RAM/timing. It took a while to think about going down to only 2 sticks of RAM, which helped a bunch! Anyway, it crushed for the time and definitely for the price! I eventually got a 2nd MSI "Gaming" 8GB RX480 and ran them in crossfire...right as support for all MGPU gaming support was abandoned of course. However the build was a bit of a hotrod. I wanted to see how much power I could get for a little money as possible. It was actually very usable (single GPU) up til Zen3 was released. Unfortunately at that point Ghz wasn't the issue, the architectural aspects held it back and I got a 5600x....then a 5800x3d that I still have today....and absolutely love. It can be pushed much harder if needed too! It's almost always leaving g a lot of compute on the table even when playing at native 4k. I really wish games would use all that extra potential for something....

2:45 what he says does also affect the older 5800X3D. With curve optimizer at -30, my CPU gets a boost from 4,25Ghz to 4,45Ghz while keeping the heat and powerdraw the same. On my 5950X -30 was not possible, since the idle voltage became too low and it crashed. With the curve shaper I hope that problem is gone. I also hope there is a (boost) cap we can enable, from my experience the last 10% clockspeed/performance raises the powerdraw/heat output by at least 30%. If I can tell the CPU to boost only to 5Ghz instead of 5,5Ghz, then it should run very efficient/cool. Right now I can only put in a manual clockspeed/voltage to achieve that, but that limits low idle powerdraw and higher single core boosts, since it is flat for all cores. For example: I wanted to lower the powerdraw of my 5950X, since it used 80W just for watching KZbin. It boosted stock one core to the max 5Ghz @1.5V. Using CO or voltage-offset didn't help, since it lowered the idle voltage as well and crashed when lowering it too much. I only got -5W tops out of that. The only method that worked was to put in a manual clockspeed and voltage. The problem: It only works per CCD and not per core. So I had to set the clockspeed of all 16 core to 4,2Ghz@1.1V. Higher clockspeed was not really possible without raising the voltage and powerlimit, since it was constrained by the 142W stock PL. All that only to set a limit on the singlecore boost. In the end I lost 10% singlecore performance, but it lowered the powerdraw by 40% while surfing and 30% while gaming. And it lowered the max temp by 30°C!!! on a 280AIO.

it would do less, the 3d cache is fragile in that it's much more thermally limited. the extra cache also doesn't do anything positive in these kinds of tests (productivity tests), it's just not what that x3d cpus are designed to do. if they do game performance benchmarks then the x3d would be relevant there but then they would also use the 7950x3d to compare it to, they wouldn't use the 7950x.

Recently upgraded from the crap low ram speed setting (I forget what it's called, but it's definitely not expo or xmp), and I put in new ram that just is incredibly fast, running in expo. I always love to watch overclocking enthusiasts. It's amazing that they have come up with a design to be able to use LN2. Running at 6.6GHz is absolutely insane. That would be 1GHz faster than the cores in my processor, with an additional four cores, essentially 26.4GHz faster than my cpu. I thought about getting a 7950X. I always can in the future. I think I will, as I don't really need a computer faster than what I currently use. I would not be able to notice it being faster unless I did a benchmark. But, yeah, if I get a 7950X sometime, I'll likely buy a new AIO for it and obviously clean up the old thermal paste and use high quality paste or liquid metal. Awesome video. You can really tell these guys love what they do. I hope they aren't getting any side effects from all that gas that comes out from using LN2
