Overclocking AMD Ryzen 9950X on X870E with Memory Tuning | 8PACK Review 💪

[@gv100_blitz]

Kind of sad how Amd releases new cpus at safe power draw levels, and gets horrible press for minor performance uplifts, while Intel releases cpus (13/14th gen) at massive power draws and huge performance gains, but then they can just die

[@nossy232323]

AMD wouldn't have had that much bad press if they hadn't promised 16% gaming improvement in their marketing slides.

I would be very keen to know more about tunings and custom configs for 4 sticks of RAM in the X870/Ryzen 9950X setup. High ram density and speed is crucial for workstation tasks and it'd be amazing to pull it off without having to go full on into threadripper territory.

[@angelg3986]

[@bgtubber]

Just in time as I upgraded from 7950x to 9950x. BTW, I'm using it mostly for heavy multi-core workloads. I don't really recommend it purely for gaming.

[@S4SK__1]

i saw a few guys get the 9950x in the range of the 7800x3d in gaming but it takes heavy tuning 7800x3d is just drop in so yea

[@bgtubber]

​@@S4SK__1 How did they achieve it? I'm guessing mostly RAM tuning? BTW, I'm successfully running 96GB RAM (2x48GB dual rank sticks) overclocked to 6400 MT/s CL32 with thightened subtimings on my 9950x PC. I'm getting about 59 ns and ~122GB read in AIDA64.

[@BeastMortThe]

Since ARL is a flop, I'm gonna try AMD for the first time. I plan on getting the X870E Hero, but wondering if I really have to stick with 6000MT? So even those these boards mention they support up to 8200MT on a 9000 series CPU... I can't toss in some titanium 7600MT and get it stable?

[@jondonnelly3]

With a 4090 I assume you got that to game at 4k. In which case there is no difference between a 9950x and any of the x3ds or Intels. So might as well take the extra cores!

Just picked up a 9950x with X670e motherboard, this is my 1st Amd CPU in 20 years, just moved from the 14900K. Anyways it seems that overclocking the 9950x doesn’t seem to improve much? Not complaining about the few % increases, but at the cost of more power and heat, doesn’t seem to be worth it, What do you guys think?

[@phillyman36]

How does your 9950x feel compared to the 14900k you had? What differences have you noticed? (ie does it feel snappier, programs open noticeably faster) Any cons?

[@df3yt]

@@phillyman36 I went from a 5950x to 14900k - With the 59 I could run two ffmpeg av1 encodes and use the desktop for general stuff without noticing the load. I could even game with any noticeable lag - yes fps would be lower but if you weren't "benching" you would not know. With the Intel I could only do one background encode and there were noticeable stutters in gaming, desktop was fine though. with 2 encodes pc was unusable. So ultimately I don't care if the Intel was faster if it meant I couldn't "really" use the pc for other tasks at the same time. I'd rather have work being done transparently. This is why I sold my 14900 last week and will be going to 9950x ie AMD again. They just multitask so much "smoother" forget what benchmarks show imo.

[@jondonnelly3]

That doesn't seem like an upgrade at least for gaming.

@@phillyman36definitely feels snappier, more importantly it’s stable across all benchmark apps and gaming.

-12 is pretty low in terms of CO. You don’t seem to have the best sample, unfortunately. I was lucky enough to snag a good one, which passes Prime95 blend and OCCT torture test, 8 hours each, at -25 on CCD0 and -45 CCD1. With a simple EXPO II and PBO Enhancement, Scalar 10x, stock timing, and the CO combined, I was able to get 47K on R23 and 4600 on Cine 2024. Coming from the 7950x3D with very little tweaking capability, I’m so happy with my silicone jackpot.

FYI you shouldn't take percentages when talking about degrees C. 72 C is not 25% lower than 96 C, because 0 C is a totally arbitrary value. It only makes sense using an absolute scale like Kelvin.

As long as you use windows 11 to get the small performance gain and frankly, generationally, that is not much. On windows 10 this CPU sucks majorly, that is why 7950X is still better as it doesn't depend on any Xbox bloat.

I'm thinking about going from 7900x to 9950x. I'm thinking 6 cores to 8 cores on the fastest ccd along with the improved ipc will help a fair bit. I heard one ccd is usually great and the other is shit tier. So both need tuned separately. 8 pack hasn't done this, so there is more on the table.
