Overclocking The MOST POWERFUL Gaming PC! ⏱️ Ryzen 9800X3D Overclocking Guide w/RTX 4090

[@diablodima]

'Ladies and gentlemen, unless you've been living under Varrock, chances are you have tried running Runescape 3 in 4k all ultra on 9800X3D'

[@thornstrikesback]

Is anyone else old like me, and remember the early to mid 2000's when we could overclock CPU's like the Core 2 Duo E6300 from 1.8GHz to 3.8 - 4GHz? They were the best days to be a PC enthusiast and overclocker.

[@joanhernandezciriza3797]

oh yes great times. I remember i took my i7 920 bloomfield from 2.9 to 4.2 ghz. I was getting like 70% more performance playing left 4 dead.

[@thornstrikesback]

@@joanhernandezciriza3797 The 920 was an awesome CPU mate. I seem to remember people literally trying to fry them with o/c but it just kept going and going. No fancy fish tank cases, no RGB, no cable management... All that mattered was pushing everything to it's absolute limit and showing off your PC's o/c performance at LAN parties.

[@thelasthallow]

you need to go back and find the scalar and set it to 10x, it will give the cpu JUST A BIT more voltage and allow it to actually boost decently higher. scatter bencher was able to get over 5.7GHz on water.

[@andrewmorris3479]

-30 all core undervolt is all you need with the 9800X3D. It’s night and day different now!

[@chrisking6695]

You can now use asynchronous bclk and curve shaper. Why would you only do an undervolt? The chip is capable of really high boosts.

[@andrewmorris3479]

@ I’m trying to prioritize less wattage and efficiency.

[@jay3251]

So only touch that and nothing else he did in the video? I’m new to over clocking. I have the same cpu and mb he does in this video.

[@anttikoponen5040]

I have also -30 all core undervolt and in Cb R23 it draws ~120W (stock 140W) and temps are much lower and don`t hit the 95C limit with NH-D14 noctua cooler. Also seems to be stable as a rock now.

[@andrewmorris3479]

@@anttikoponen5040 I went from 145 watts in R23 down to 115 and temperature dropped from 85C down to 68C but my score increased by 500 as all 8 cores were locked at 5225 MHz. Gaming wattage and temperatures dropped quite drastically too!

[@hellohaikawai]

Sad to see new generation almost fully forgot about overclocking or maybe companies make it the way people dont get onto it. Time to get it back

[@thornstrikesback]

It's good to see we can now O/C the X3D chips, but the good old days of overclocking are well and truly gone. And you are right when you say it's the companies. They simply don't make chips with high O/C margins in them. Going back to days of the Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 that could go from 1.8GHz to a crazy 4Ghz will never be seen again, unfortunately. The early to mid 2000's were by far the best days to be a PC enthusiast.

[@deelon-96]

that's a lovely machine you have

[@Pullo83]

-25 is where mine taps out and freezes 5 minutes into cinebench, but still a pretty nice boost with -20, and totally stable (x670e board, though)

[@ZomgZomg007]

Also rather than +200mhz overclock. Simply do a -ve curve instead, this will give you even more lower temps and its not going to risk your cpu by overclocking degradation.

[@pureniku]

For my first pc build ima get this cpu instead of the 7800x3D one I saw a article about it like 9hrs ago saying it would even be cheaper then the last one so that’s a steal

[@Poppaai]

So in conclusion, if you are cpu bound the gains are better?

Please tell me about the AIO TITAN cooler, should i purchase it over the H150i? and why?

[@insertnamehere4419]

The H150i is a older cooler, their are far superior options.

[@thornstrikesback]

Don't limit yourself just because you see KZbinrs using a certain AIO. There are a lot of different AIO options these days at varying prices and even some of the cheaper ones are far superior than the H150i.

[@saltandsham]

Would you say its worth upgrading from a 5800X3D when using RTX 4080 and 1440P ?

[@JamieReynolds89]

nah plus you'd have to upgrade your motherboard and ram too

[@frsfthg9212]

Upgrade from 3200 to 3600

[@LakerTriangle]

There is no blanket "nah" - depends on what framerate you get and what you play...I swapped out my 7700x for the 9800x3d yesterday. I did this because I also plan to swap out my 4080 for a 50 series when it arrives.

[@joniqst]

​@@LakerTrianglewhat's wrong with your 4080?

[@LakerTriangle]

@joniqst too slow...I also have 3 other PCs in the family so it will replace a 3070 which will replace a 2080 which will replace a 2060S.

[@williamhubel]

Maybe with better cooling it could reach 5.45ghz em be stable at -30 co

[@zackjarvis6503]

i have a CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor with a b450-hdv mother board is it worth upgrading to AMD Ryzen 7 5700x3d

[@daunted232]

If you are playing games that require more cpu horsepower, then yes. I recommend nvida's frameview software, simple overlay, just run the program, open a game, and see if the games you are playing are getting 95-100% gpu utilization.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

Kind of, why not just get a 5800 though?

[@klever891]

yes it is, 5700X3D is the best you can get without buying the 5800X3D that's a lot more expensive for kinda the same performance. So depends on what games you play your resolution and card you are running mate

[@miborrr6974]

Is it overkill or stupid move to upgrade my R5 5600x to r7 7800x3d if i get the mob and rams in a bundle for cheap? I have 3080 gpu and I have planned to upgrade it after the prosessor and mob etc..

X870E Nova has the best bang for the buck, it also doesnt half your GPU PCIE slot if you use a lot of M2 drives.

[@Heretobehere]

Do you think this cpu would bottle neck on the NZXT N7 B650? I’m not even sure if it’s worth getting on that that motherboard. Let me know :)

Motherboards don't bottleneck CPUs really, for motherboards it is about what it can and cannot support.

[@dastiffmeisterman]

Am I missing something, I've got a 14900K and rtx3090. When I run the performance stats on black ops 6 (running at 4K on ultra settings) my CPU is running at about 20% to 30% and my GPU at 99% so how is this CPU going to make my machine faster if the CPU is not being pushed at all anyway?

[@daunted232]

It won't for that role m title, but perhaps for others 😉

[@PcCentric]

Most of your cores won't be used on intel, you want per core ultilsation for those p cores

[@KingLos88]

If I could switch the 7800x3d for 9800x3d and pay 50$ is it worth the switch and paying those 50$ to get the 9800x3d

[@anderotaola7515]

Has the 7800x3d come up short yet? Do you need/want/must overclock beyond a some CO, slight and positive override on PBO? If yes to one or both- probably worth it. Otherwise youre set. 7800x3d is amazing. It wont overclock well. It will squeeze out on average 8-11% less fps across a sample of games. If thats worth the trouble of finding a good 9800x3d and sell the 7800x3d (plus the hassle of removing and installing components) is really up to you. I dont think so. Oh! Also maybe youre doing more editing or such- then yea the 9800x3d makes sense. But then it might make most sense to wait for 9950x3d if you want more “production value” out of an x3d chip.

[@hellohaikawai]

Yes get it if u can afford it

[@KingLos88]

No the 7800x3d has been perfect and i do nothing but play FPS games nothing else. Is more of I want it. Cause I get for the way a previously stated who knows if later in I can get and upgrade for basically 50$

[@thornstrikesback]

That depends on different factors.... Do you play at 1080p (hopefully not)? What GPU do you have? What type of games do you play? Is $50 a lot of money to you? Depending on those factors, it could be could either way.

[@ChessJourneyman]

$50 for that increase and longevity is def worth it.
