Those with 5800x3d and 7800x3d just made proper future proof purchase, very good. And now lots of AM4 motherboards perhaps someone with a 3600x can just upgrade to a somewhat cheap 5700x3d if supported. It's brilliant.

[@wohnie39]

I built a PC with a 7600X because of a tight budget, and it's serving me well for now. Ran a bit hot out of the box but after undervolting and using PBO to still get boost clock speeds, it's much better. Planning to upgrade when 9000 series X3D cpus come out

[@JCerris]

​@@wohnie39Is it an older stock cooler or something more decent? If the former, your case has the space, and you're willing to spend a bit more, then a cooler like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE (any 2 fans version) at around $36 USD will handle the 7600X and most likely a 9800X3D quite well (assuming it'll be efficient like the 7800x3d or even 5800x3d). If you already have a decent cooler perhaps the thermal paste application or mounting of the cooler isn't quite right. If you have spare thermal paste you could try removing the cooler, cleaning off and reapplying a decent amount of paste, and finally make sure to mount the cooler evenly (criss-cross pattern and little by little). Best of luck!

Very weird experience. I have built now 5 PCs with 7800x3D and not one has had any of the issues you mention. - No problems with ram kits - No long boot times - All worked great with all core undervolting in PBO curve optimizer negative 30. They all got to or beyond the advertised clock speed.

[@N4CR]

ram training depends on board/bios/when they did this last. Takes me about 60s with 64gb ddr6000 at cl30 EXPO after CMOS reset/bios update/etc. For normal startup from cold, if it does ram training it's usually 10-20s max. I don't get performance regression when using sleep either on an x670e steel legend.

[@willo1345]

I also have built a few PCs with various x3d chips. I've never ran into these issues and the experience has been just as smooth as the Intel one. I'm wondering if we are both lucky or maybe this guy is extremely unlucky, lmao.

Smart move. One tip: you cannot just enable "Memory Context Restore", you also need to enable "Power down enable" Those two goes together!

[@starlightHT]

The crackling sound in the audio is due to the FCLK giving errors, perhaps because you have too much voltage on the CPU SoC or because you have too much OC to FCLK. You don't need more than 1.2 volts on the SOC to have 6000 in memory. My 7800x3d keeps 6000 in memory with 1.15 easily

[@dmitrijssmeiss2737]

And check your FCLK for stability. If it's set to auto, some mobos can mess it up and give problems. Set it manually if it's happening.

[@bgtubber]

Thanks for the report. Glad to hear that you've not had major problems. I'm using Ryzen 7950x paired with a 64GB DDR5-5600 Kingston Fury Beast memory kit. No problems with the RAM whatsoever. It worked first time with the built in XMP profile. I even overclocked the RAM to 6400 C30 and it works just fine, giving me a nice boost and reduced latency. I'm pretty happy with the performance. I was deciding between the 13900k and the 7950x when building this PC more than a year ago. Looks like I dodged a bullet here!

[@sneedsneed460]

Made the switch to AM5 and got a 7950X3D to replace my failing 14900k. Much better experience. Faster gaming performance and barely a drop in multithreading performance. I believe I was having latency issues as well, numerous tasks on my PC are noticeably faster. The best part is the power draw, games draw 40-60w vs 120-180w on intel.

[@jameswester1604]

Man, I have had two 13900Ks degrade and one of the two completely die. I went to a 12900KS so I didn't have to change the board and I found one really cheap. Can't wait for Zen 6 in 2026.

[@markkrejic8736]

7800x3d is the best

[@MadClowdz]

The issue with i9 13th and 14th gen is the high voltage call in the VID table for the 2 preferred cores. P cores, E cores and ring share the same rail, so when those two cores call for ridiculously high voltage, everything on the rail gets exposed, which over time causes degradation. How long it takes depends on many factors, including silicon quality. If you have a 13th or 14th gen i9, and have not suffered stability issues yet, set BIOS to enforce Intel limits, set long and short PL to 238 watts, set amps to 307, and lock all cores to 5.7 (14th) or 5.6 (13th), and you should be good to go.

[@Daniel-hj5jt]

Ok, so i've had my 4090/7800x3D rig for a year as of next week. I started off with dual channel kit of 32gb of 6000 MT memory, which i overclocked to 6400 MT...and added a second 32gb kit a few months later. The only significant issue i had with this platform was my original motherboard choice, a MSI 670e board. I spent a full 12 hours working on it before managing to get a post, installed a fresh copy of windows and everything appeared fine. Next day, just refused to post. RMAed the board and replaced it with a Asrock steel legend 670e, and everything has been smooth sailing since. Since moving to 4x16gb memory training issues have also become almost non-existent, i think it's happened twice in the past 8 months. I never had any luck at all overclocking much of anything on AM4, PBO handled the cpu and memory just didn't like running out of spec at all. AM5 is much more malleable (i've even played around with Fclk overclocking and managed to get the CPU to 5.4ghz with no apparent issues, though the risk isn't worth making that a daily driver) You had released your "sold my 4090 for 7900xtx" video literal hours after i had purchased my 4090. When i first got the card, i had the same multi-display issues you complained of, though the issue resolved (for two displays anyway) once i connected the monitor marked in windows as "main display" to what the gpu considers "output 1" After getting my hyte y70 touch, adding that third display caused the issue to return, though i'm convinced that's partly due to hyte's software conflicting with windows and nvidia's own software, the solve there was to have the hyte display run off the iGPU. As for arrow lake....i just don't understand how so many people continue to be optimistic about anything intel is doing. How many years did 14nm drag on for before intel "came back" by doubling to quadrupling power draw to eek out 2-10% performance gains SOMETIMES? Battlemage is DOA, AMD is sandbagging performance metrics of Ryzen 9000 and still beating intel by 15-20% even without x3D. Intel's new laptop chips already aren't great, arrow lake is just going to be more of the same....intel can't do efficiency and performance. I've watched intel do endless slimy things for 30 years now, but how they've handled the failure rate of "two" generations of chips takes the cake. They should be issuing a recall, instead they're trying to weather the storm long enough to get arrow lake out the door and hope that enough people will upgrade that the problem will, if not resolve itself, at least insulate them from the worst of it.

Not sure what motherboard you are using but I use Asrock boards and at least 10 of them so far, many Gigabyte boards as well and my boot times are under 20 seconds EVERY time. I have seen MSI have boot time issues. This isn’t an AMD issue, it’s a motherboard issue.

[@maximanimo]

I have multiple friends who had this kind of problem, i fixed it for all of them super easy by just upping the VDDIO ( mem controller ) a little bit.. Some friends even had AMD expo not working straight out of the box with a 32gb 6000 kit.. Putting just a little bit more on the vddio fixed it all. They are stable for months on end now.

[@Gattberserk]

The new 9800X3D will have overclocking feature and it is even better than older generations.

[@CENTURION1997]

Love your work, thanks for sharing

[@starlightHT]

Strange, I have a 78003dx and I have no problems with the Bot's speed. Almost instantaneously after activating the memory restore.... Only when I change something in the bios does it make think a little.

[@kendragon2827]

I did not hear you mention what motherboard you were using on your 7800x3d. I am using an Asrock X670e Taichi with no issues. I too switched from intel 12900k to 13900k then to AM5 (7800x3d)

[@furudoerika6977]

Yeah the cuckcores was the reason I didnt choose intel and took a risk and bought myself a 5800x3d

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

seems board companies unwilling to compromise and 'modify their tuning' this should be avioded by then, but still those are failed cpus and should be thrown to bin instead of boxed

[@Criptonica1]

7800X3D and other X3D’s are mainly for gaming

[@enochmax]

Change to 7800x3d from 13700k(both are the same price here), the only thing I'll say is: Amd yes!

[@PaintrainX]

7800X3D is pretty much the only CPU worth buying atm. 7900X3D and 7950X3D have so many issues too. The new 9000 series have issues too and are overpriced. Fingers crossed the new Intel chips will be good. And hopefully the 9000X3D series will be okay.

[@Eidolon5150]

The ONLY problem with the 7800x3d is that Asus motherboards blow them up, and that is an asus problem.

[@techluvin7691]

The “p” core / “e” core experiment is over. Slightly better gaming performance 🤔??? Way better than “slightly” had your 7800x3d been tuned properly.

[@DonovanMcNabb5]

The craziest thing was that AMD+Nvidia gpus were being blamed for the longest time for Intel CPU crashes. That's insane. Which is weird because as a Ryzen 1000-7000, main pc user, never had those Intel crashes, never had any problems with "my amd or nvidia gpus"

[@8bitbender495]

Am happy with my 13700k It's the best cpu I've had

[@Decki777]

Can you record your 1% low fps and 0.1% low fps in Fortnite? 😊

[@Darth1Marik]

I used to use AMD stuff back in the late 90's early 2000's but once Intel stepped on the gas I stayed with Intel and never looked back. My 13900KF is rockin fine with no issues. I got the 0x129 microcode and updated my BIOS and I'm not seeing any major changes in my gaming performance. Also with Windows bottlenecking AMD performances I see no reason to switch back. I get people like AMD but with the RAM issues they have paired with Windows screwing them I'm sticking with Intel.

[@H7DRV]

Dude Asrock b650m-hdv/m.2 (the budget motherboard that can handle 7800x3d) has 16 seconds to windows and it holds first place for fastest boot . I know its wierd but its a fact , I couldnt belive but I checked it and its 16 seconds every time :) . As far as we speak for the clocks , out of the box mine was working on 4883 I touched the negative offset to -20 it was working fine but dind ge to 5ghz , I put the negative offset -30 , never crushed and now the cpu is on 5.1 working just fine and its cold as ice , 26 degrees idle , max in games 65-66 , stress test 77-78 cooled with Liquid Freezer II 240 , case bequiet fx500 . I am really happy with my 7800x3d , may be I am just lucky I dont know .

[@lordofreason549]

Glad i didnt upgrade to the 13700K 12700kf still running strong

[@carrickdubya4765]

I don't think anything since i do not know anything, I just check tech power up and 7800x3d reigns supreme. Sadly just returned mine in a pre-built cuz the pump on the cpu cooler was failing just 11 days after i got it. I will never get another Cyberpower pre-built again, since they went cheap on the cheapest part. Now back to sitting on my hands for 15-20 minutes while my 8700 non-K with Rx 470 4Gb warms up. Please don't laugh since I used to have a GT-1030 2Gb . . . Well now I am back to waiting it out for next gen to drop in price so I can get a 9800x3d and 5080, that is unless AMD prices the 9800x3d aggressively and this Christmas will be the first happy one in a loooong time. 🎄

[@nossy232323]

Holy shit dude, what's going on with you? First you had all these problems with the RTX 4090, and now you had all kinds of problems on the AM5 platform??? For some reason I had ZERO of those problems! And yes I'm also using 64 GB 64 GM RAM CL30.

[@superslug8093]

I'm ok with it booting long it tests the memory just in case I am in no hurry for it to boot.

[@pascaldifolco4611]

Good move, because now your 13900K is fried and good for the dump ^^ But I agree, 7000 series RAM management is pretty awful, boots take forever, MCR results in BSOD for me, and I had to lower my 2x32 6000 kit to 5600 to avoid instability

[@sabola1274]

I've been having serious instability issues with my 13700k for the past few months, and i only bought it last year. On top of that, the new 0x129 update causes my pc to hit 100c within 5 minutes of playing anything. I'm switching to the 7800x3d this weekend since Intel has completely lost any faith i had in them. I'm glad their stock dropped down to 20 a share. They deserve it.

[@isbestlizard]

Whoever bought your 13900k probably has a glitching bugging crashing hunk of slowly oxidising degrading silicon :

[@Angel7black]

Its kinda a really shitty change productivity wise if you actually needed the extra cores and threads, but considering the CPU parking issues on the 7950X3D and the dumpster fire that’s happening with Raptor Lake Fail rate… cant say you made a bad choice. My guess is you kinda just bought the i9 literally just for the slightly higher gaming performance over the 13700K and 13600K which kinda doesnt matter. Similar to how the difference between the 13900K and 7800X3D is negligible. Before the chip fail issue i wouldve said 13th/14th gen intel was better but the motherboard longevity support and fact that the 7800X3D is basically on par in gaming with an 14900K while being way cheaper and less power hungry made it an even match and preference. Cant beat Raptor Lake productivity per skew and way better budget chips imo. But with the fail rate and issues with raptor lake its a clear W for Zen 4 X3D by default. I still think 12th gen tho is just a way better buy than regular Zen 4 by itself but the socket support at this point is in ignorable for those who get intimidated by motherboard swapping and selling their old shit

[@jamegumb7298]

3:35 It probbaly _is_ the microcode updates. Those can be distributed through Windows too not just usb updates. And if that happens you need to retrain memory. 3:55 B550 had usb issues, dropped connection on highspeed usb devices (guess why I know lol). It may be partly fixed but not 100%.

[@joshhardin666]

re: long boot times: how often do you reboot!? you only really typically need to reboot maybe once a month to install operating system updates. - and as far as overclocking, yeah, stock is pretty close to being ideal tuned... SOMETIMES you might get lucky and can make 1% or so improvements from some tweaking, but if you want stability, overclocking hasn't really been worthwhile for a long time.

[@thesilverpittie9632]

Amd only guarantees up to 5200 mt that why 6000 is not as stable. Intel is about the same and they both have different standards when using 4 sticks, dual rank, etc... that's why QVLs are so important to read when getting cpu, mb, and ram.

[@pawnipt]

For my 7800x3d I had to go with per core optimizing. The lowest neg i could go was -30 on a couple of the cores, but on a couple other cores i had to go with -15 while the rest were somewhere between (testing stability was a nightmare). It's all certainly a silicon lottery. When you're a brute force overclocker it feels disappointing trying to squeeze more performance out of this chip, but at the end of the day it is still cutting edge... OC the fabric and ram timings!

[@syrku3842]

3:04 disable igpu in bios. thats allowed me to reduce boot time by 70%. couse on some motherboard's igpu adjusts memory for itself

[@JayriAvieock90]

you probably had a bad CPU from overvolting. plus the 13th and 14th gen intel CPUs have had a high failure rate. See gamers nexus video on the issue.

[@obiwankenoobi4202]

Been nothing but happy with my 5800x3d

[@jonathand7465]

funny, for me its the other way , i have a 7800x3d , cant run 6000 cl 30 ram to save my life , running 5600 cl 28 instead , but my curve offset is rock solid at -20 to -30 depending on the core

[@silverwulf6700]

Wouldn't touch intel at the moment with the strange problems they are having. Not surprised more problems have come along as they couldn't even design the IHS so it wouldn't bend.

[@brian770]

you pay for X speed, bitching about not overclocking well as they are already running at the edge isn't valid. that just means that the company is doing a great job in the efficiency. back in the athlon 1800 days there was epic room to overclock, as time goes on not so much, thats everything in all industrys, used to be easy to double your horsepower back in the 70's, but not so much now... as long as you get what you pay for there is no room to complain.

[@bodasactra]

I have a banger of an AM4 build with rock solid stability and very competitive performance. I have been very hesitant to pay for new problems when my current experience is more than exceptional even though it may no longer top a chart.

[@RayshenOmega]

Pruh its because am4-5 supports ecc ram ut checks your hardware and clocking before it startes the system up

[@Ziyoblader]

Months ago I went with a 5800X3D just to honor the upgrade path I could have gotten a new motherboard because my original one I tried updating the BIOS because of USB disconnect issues and bricked it thought about upgrading am5 but because the TDP was lower on the 5800X3D than the 7800X3d I stayed with am4 my case is compact so I need the least amount of heat as possible no unfortunately I still ended up underclocking the 5800x3d cuz it ran too hot out of the box

[@GoonyMclinux]

You can flash the bios off the board and recover it, $15 for the flasher.

[@Ziyoblader]

@@GoonyMclinux I tried that and unfortunately it just didn't work it would take forever for the flasher to finish it and it was very finicky with the small clamp that would clamp onto the chip on the motherboard I tried multiple times

[@RS-zr3vh]

Wake up bro - that 13th and 13.5th gen of Intel CPU is so bad…it gonna be the nail in the coffin for that already struggling company.

[@danielkowalski7527]

good audio - dont pick amd graphics or cpu ^^ Also its diffrent price 13900 for 7800x3d

[@mikenone4077]

my 7800x3d and gigabyte b650 takes about 18 second to boot into windows. Is that pretty good?

[@DizConnected]

Hang in there AM5 the new AM5 CPUs are about to release and have a few % better performance than the 7800x3D without the overclocking/PBO issue. I have a 7950x and 7600 non x and have had NO issues with them. I have experienced pops and cracking in audio in the past, but since I got my Audeze Maxwell headset I never have that issue any more.

[@dmitrijssmeiss2737]

No point with overclocking and pbo tuning in my view. I tried it and didn't get any benefit besides cpu running 4 degrees cooler. Stock 7800x3d shreds through every cpu in gaming and with aio doesn't go past 70 degree mark in games. And thats cpu heavy games like battlefield or helldivers. In normal games it runs 55-65. And it's confirmed that 9000 series will be not faster in gaming than 7800x3d. Need to wait for 9x3d announcement

[@blackbsod]

Great decision to swap else you would be facing current issues with 13900 and 14900

[@StitchGamer626]

I still my 5800X3D and I will new upgrade 9000X3D series in the future.

[@funnyman2023]

intel best cpu must be 12 gen. for now. for stabile. and gaming. rip 13-14 gen. lol.

[@Matty-rn5gt]

Intel is suffering from reliability issues right now and Zen 5 is out in 10 days. AMD winning for now.

[@DylanBlanko]

It looks like your complaints are about the motherboard not the CPU

[@romuluxb]

I have upgraded to 7800X3D from 10850K, and I am really happy with it. Upgrading will be to a minimum ryzen 10000X3D chip, which I know will be supported. I am super glad I did not go Intel again since the massive crashing iasues and windows lag issues, no thanks. I hope arrow lake is a return to form, otherwise lack of competition will mean AMD can jack up prices, we really don t want that.

[@doxydoxdelamanca9902]

Yes. It'll steer people away from AM5 to AM4, since Intel is sucky now.

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Very nice review. I haven't used an Intel chip for any of my personal builds - so I can't say how they would of been for me - but I'm very happy with my current all AMD build. I have very nice boot times - especially considering I have 192gb of ram ; the ram kit = CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 192GB (4 x 48GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 5200 (PC5 41600) at the time I didn't realize there was a non-rgb version - My MB is the Asus ProArt X670-E Creator Wifi - Cpu is the Ryzen 9 7950X3D - I use an AIO cooler for the cpu cooling needs. I have 2 PCIE gen 5 x 4 nvme m.2's both are the same models both are 2-tb ; 1 is my main and the other is a back-up. I also have the 2 PCIE Gen 4 x 4 nvme m.2 drives 2tb each that were my previous set. Both are now extra back-ups My Gpu is the MSI Radeon RX 7900XTX Gaming Trio Classic - Psu = Seasonic Prime TX-1600W 80+ Titanium| ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0. FM. As you were saying when you let the ssytem just run at stock settings it ran the best for you : I let my system run at Stock settings and have always been very satisfied. I had upgraded my AM5 build after the initial build did one upgrade at a time after saving up for an upgrade. The MB , case and the 2 Gen 4 x 4 Nvme M.2 drives are the same from the initial build to the current configuration.

[@Yukeena]

I would be glad right about now if i sold my 13900k for an x3D chip lol

[@simplethings1830]

Lucky me I know how to oc and offset voltages. My 13900k runs fine as wine

[@lassekristensen385]

I have absolutely no lag or latency or anything with my 14900KS nor did I have on my 13900KS. I use LatencyMon also and have basically no latency. Sometimes if you run undervolt you will experience latency and or weird issues and this is without the CPU making errors in test or stability programs. My system runs blazing fast! I disabled recently HT and run P cores at 6 Ghz... it kicks a$$

[@leonidastankiangaming]

7800X3D user here. You described the good and the bad we all go through but with everything Intel is going through lately? I feel like we made the right choice.

[@funnypets850]

It is a video about moustache ? 😂

[@CRBarchager]

Sounds like it's time to upgrade to the new gen comming out next week so you can overclock a bit.
