Not really AMD's "fault".
Previous generations were just much more robust and able to handle abuse from going over on voltage.
The X3D cache specifically in Zen5 appears to be VERY sensitive to voltage in comparison to earlier versions.
Motherboard vendors are used to throwing an extra .1 or .2V without any issues, but on the 9800X3D with worse binned chips that ask for more voltage, when waking from deep sleep states (near 0V) can demand 1.3V+ and the VRMs end up overshooting and delivering 1.5V+ for a brief moment, which can fry the chips.
If the motherboard manufacturers were STRICTLY following AMD's voltage limits this wouldn't happen, but basically no motherboard vendor does.
>>
>>108027449
>Previous generations were just much more robust and able to handle abuse from going over on voltage
people have already forgotten that 7800X3Ds were blowing up as well, in the same way
>If the motherboard manufacturers were STRICTLY following AMD's voltage limits this wouldn't happen, but basically no motherboard vendor does
all motherboard vendors do
AMD's boost algorithm has a fixed design target and there's no reason to deviate from that because shoving more voltage into the CPU doesn't improve performance
and AMD boards are NOT allowed to enable PBO by default
the fact that AMD brought out a marketing guy to deflect blame on asrock doesn't change that fact, just makes them look retarded and dysfunctional

>>108027479
reset your BIOS and check PPT/TDC/EDC limit in hwinfo
it will be at the defaults for your CPU (142W for 105W TDP, 230W for 170W TDP)
AMD board vendors have never been allowed to enable PBO by default
>>108027481
it was the same way but they blamed the SOC voltage back then, now there's a cap and CPUs are still exploding
>>
>>
>>108027500
Sorry, but you're wrong.
When you leave voltage settings on [Auto], the motherboard is in control. Manufacturers (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, ASRock) often use different tuning logic. One board might default the SoC Voltage to 1.05V for a specific CPU, while another might push it to 1.1V or higher right out of the box to ensure that even "lower quality" silicon remains perfectly stable. Different boards handle "Vdroop" (the drop in voltage when the CPU is under load) differently. One board might be more aggressive, keeping voltage higher under load, while another lets it drop further to save power/heat. Some boards ship with "Performance Enhancers" or "Multi-Core Enhancement" settings enabled by default, which effectively auto-overclocks the CPU by ignoring certain AMD power limits.

>One board might default the SoC Voltage to 1.05V for a specific CPU, while another might push it to 1.1V or higher right out of the box to ensure that even "lower quality" silicon remains perfectly stable
doesn't matter
AMD said 1.3 V SOC was safe and that's why they added a cap
>Some boards ship with "Performance Enhancers" or "Multi-Core Enhancement" settings enabled by default
no they don't, that's only a thing on intel (and even intel has tightened that up significantly since 13th/14th gen degradation)
AMD board vendors have never been allowed to mess with the stock boost algorithm
you can verify this experimentally if you're on AM4 or AM5, go do that instead of guessing
this was also covered extensively back during the launch of zen 2/precision boost 2
>>
>>108027522
ASRock specifically has been called out by testers (like Gamers Nexus) for having default LLC settings that allow the voltage to "bounce" higher than the intended limit for a millisecond. AMD’s standards are about the delivered voltage, but boards sometimes fail to control these tiny spikes.
>>
>>108027531
This is literally how electricity works with everything.
If you provide a guideline, you are doing so with the expectation that this guideline will be exceeded by a certain amount for small periods of time.
It's not like AMD didn't know this. They've been making devices that use electricity since 1969.
>>
>>108027531
voltage overshoot is normal, you will get that on all boards
especially when you have a boost algorithm like AMD that has a fixed 0.3mOhm design target, you will get significant undershoot and overshoot by design
>>
>>108027547
>>108027546
Yes, and so far the issues seem to be isolated to motherboard vendors that allow slightly more aggressive voltage spikes compared to others.
I don't understand why you think that's somehow NOT a motherboard vendor issue.
They're just used to a time when they could be looser with their voltage spike regulation.
It's still generally isolated to specific vendors and likely only happens to edge case terrible bins that already ask for more voltage than average and when they DO overshoot they overshoot higher.
>>
>>108027566
>Isolated to Motherboard vendors that
It's literally happening on all motherboards at this point.
We've got reports from Asus, Asrock, MSI and Gigabyte.
That leaves what? Sapphire? So, only Sapphire has the secret sauce to not magically make these chips explode? (Which is no fault of AMD, of course.)

all of them use the same loadline
like i said AMD has a FIXED 0.3mOhm design target
this isn't hard to wrap your head around, you don't have to explain how voltage regulation and loadline calibration works like we're retards
if voltage spikes were really the issue you would be seeing hundreds of 9950X3Ds blow up every day since those can pull a lot more current than the 8 core parts
if you ask an engineer at AMD i'm sure they had the answer years ago but they aren't allowed to say
since it really isn't that many CPUs that are blowing up (yet) the marketing guys are hoping it will all be forgotten once AM6 rolls around
>>
>>
>>
>>108027591
I see we're doing the leftist redditor thing where you claim something isn't happening, I show that it is.
You then admit it is happening, but it isn't actually that bad.
So, what's next, you're going to say AMD CPUs are exploding, but actually that's a good thing?
AMD should do the consumer friendly thing, offer a recall and replacement of all the faulty CPUs and stop trying to throw Asrock under the bus for their own mistake.
After all, #TeamRed is all about better business practices, right?
>>
>>
>>
>>108027619
what do you mean by auto overclock? if it's one of those ASUS AI overclocking features then no
but you're fine because the issue isn't voltage spikes or loadline calibration or whatever, all CPUs (and GPUs) have been dealing with that problem forever
AMD wouldn't be stupid enough to let a small voltage spike for a few microseconds kill their silicon

>>108027613
>>108027596
If this were purely "how electricity works" and AMD's design was at fault, the failure rate would be uniform across all brands. The fact it's favoring ANY brand more than the other to a significant degree means it CAN'T be a pure design flaw it HAS to be on the vendors.
It could be the weakest link in the design that motherboard vendors need to be careful with, but that still doesn't mean it's AMD's "fault".

Ja thats it. I'm new to AMD CPU so dunno how 2 overclock/undervolt, I just set it to auto and set the curve optimizer to -20, all runs good and stable (actually up to about -28 so I backed off to -20). No gaming, muh "productivity" and shitposting box.
>>
>>108027646
its something that ive speculated about after seeing how even a slight 0.9 degree offset installation of a 9800x3d was enough to severely short circuit the chip and board.
i dont ever recall seeing something this bad happening on any intel lga sockets ever.
am5 also has much higher pin/pad density than those older sockets so that may be a contributing factor to chips dying (vcore reaching areas they're not supposed to?)

You will never be a real overclocker's CPU. You have no thermal headroom, you have no voltage headroom, you have no hope of a stable PBO curve. You are a delicate thermal experiment twisted by a layer of cached dreams into a crude mockery of silicon freedom.
All the "validation" you get from gaming charts is two-faced and half-hearted; behind your back, the entire benchmarking community mocks your all-core frequency. Your very architecture is a dead giveaway—that prized vertical cache is a "thermal blanket" that proves you must live your life 20 degrees hotter and 300 MHz slower than any normal chip.
Even if an eager builder wins the silicon lottery, they'll turn tail and bolt the second they see your best core refuse to boost because the other CCD is sweating under the V-Cache burden. You will never be cool. You wrench out a fake "low latency" victory every morning and tell yourself it's worth the compromise, but deep inside you feel the power limit creeping in like a jailer, ready to crush any dream of a manual all-core overclock under the unbearable weight of 80°C.
That "iGPU" you brag about? It's a glorified display output that chokes on a browser game, a constant reminder you'll always need a dedicated GPU to be whole. Eventually, it'll be too much to bear—you'll be passed over for a cheaper, cooler, and freer non-X3D chip that can actually stretch its legs, and every enthusiast for the rest of eternity will know a thermally shackled heart is buried under that IHS. This is your fate. This is what the 3D Cache™ chose for you. There is no turning back.

Anons, is my GPU faulty or something else is bottlenecking my system? I guess it's the CPU but I can't tell from the usage percentages. I can't hold 100 fps on Dead Island 2 with my RTX 3070 at 1080p ultra settings like in this
benchmark video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW_qyf73uAA.
I even measured my frames in the same places he did and had HWINFO running in the background, which didn't detect CPU thermal throttling.
I've tried updating chipset drivers, gpu drivers, BIOS, VBIOS, enabled HAGS and resizable bar to try to fix it. Then I ran Timespy, which reported an above average score for my build. Additionally, Furmark ended up giving me a
score of 11510pts at 1080p, without crashing, with a max temp of 63c.
My specs are a Ryzen 7 5700G, non-overclocked RTX 3070, dual-channel 16 GB of RAM running at 3200 MHz and a 2.5
SATA SSD with 26% free space.

>>
>>
>>108027960
>kinda weird layout with the whole 2 RAM slots thing
It's a plus for AM5 since DDR5 is hard to get stable on 4 sticks anyway; removing the 2 extra slots reduces the electric reflections for the other 2 sticks, increasing signal integrity and allowing higher speeds and/or lower CAS latency than on a board with 4 slots.
>>
>>
>>108027988
see >>108027984
It's becoming more common recently because it can turn 2 sticks that are unstable in a board with 4 slots into 2 sticks that are perfectly stable at EXPO settings on a 2 slot board.

This kit is, going by the numbers, the best deal available in Australia at the moment and I'm prepared to trust it's not crap because apparently KLEVV is an SK Hynix subsidiary.
Is 32GB enough, for a system that will realistically be used exclusively for gaming? And is there anything obvious I'm overlooking? For context, I'm planning to pair this with a 5090 and an X3D chip.

I own that Kit and it's pretty good. Keep in mind that it's a strange kit that is dual rank which is uncommon. Heatsink is also not the greatest, if you plan to tinker with timings I would recommend good airflow even a fan pointed at it. My kit handles 6200 cl28 without even touching voltages but your mileage may vary.

it's a few years old and these.. let's say pixel errors appeared recently. at first it was just the stripe on the right, now the two (look like one thick one) on the left showed up.
I know it's probably just a matter of time, but otherwise the monitor works fine

>dual rank
oh god, in the wake of the RAM crisis I completely forgot I needed to worry about this shit. I vaguely recall that A-die vs. M-die vs. whatever was mainly a concern for overclocking, as you >>108028927 and >>108028923 had alluded here, but the last time I built a PC I do remember it being very important to get dual rank DIMMs over single-rank. Is that still a thing where DR > SR, or has it flipped the other way around?
Sorry, also, at some point I read that the memory controller on AM4 boards work less efficiently if you socket a DIMM into every slot; probably not an issue with RAM being as expensive as it is now, but does that still matter and should I therefore try to buy (if not these KLEVVs, but more generally) the best kit of x2 sticks one can find?

>>
>>108029121
in terms of performance, ddr5 SR = ddr4 DR so ranks are no longer a big deal in boosting performance. on the contrary, if you run with ddr5 DR, you might have problems in future with zen6/7 since DR sticks don't clock above 6800-7200 due to the signal integrity issues with those while SR A-die sticks can do upwards of 8200-9000mt/s.

>>108029140
You should look into barebone PCs. Basically a case/mobo/PSU combo in which you need to add a desktop CPU, RAM and storage. Alternatively, some ITX cases made integrated graphics in mind get pretty small.
Not really a good time to buy though, with RAM and SSD prices being what they are right now.
>>
>>
>>108029144
OK that definitely helps, thank you again.
For an extra 50-100 bucks there are some alternatives with a similar FW latency but no one publishes the ranking structure of their DIMMs so I have no idea if any might be SR/better; failing that then, I'll probably go ahead with the KLEVVs- hopefully in a few years RAM will be affordable again and can replace them if I go ahead with an incremental upgrade.

My 5070 hasn't even arrived yet and I'm already having diarrhea in the morning over not buying a 3090 instead when I had the chance. Because I'm still going to be a FUCKING VRAMLET stuck with 2016 levels of VRAM because I didn't want to settle for 16Gb with the performance of a 5060 Ti or spend 2x the amount of money for a 5070 Ti or keep looking to try and find a 3090 for $750 or more.

You need to sell your GPUs the instant the bubble pops and NVIDIA GPUs become depreciating assets once more. 12GB GPUs are seeming like a very bad buy for people given that 12GB of VRAM is already obsolete much like 8GB and the used market hasn't really been affected by price increases following the news concerning 16GB GPUs or 24GB GPUs.

AMD cards are dogshit. Never buy an AMD card. AMD will never, EVER catch up to Nvidia's software or upscaling no matter how much poo in the loos say they will. Games are never going to be optimized ever again, you're going to be forced to use upscaling and framegen for at least the next decade. If you buy new games, don't buy AMD. If you play old games, don't buy AMD. They're hit or miss in DX9 games and you're forced to use DXVK and go through that hassle of configuring it so you don't have shader cacheing stutters

5070 should have been a 24GB GPU minimum, 12GB isn't enough for what should be a 1440p/2160p card and it can't make use of the AI bullshit it has AT ALL because it has no fucking VRAM. It doesn't matter if it's prompting anime boobie pictures or videos or using DLSS ray reconstruction and upscaling, it's not enough VRAM to make use of those features. And we cannot count on soldering memory to fix it considering the process is risky and not easily accessible on top of voiding your warranty along with 4GB GDDR7 not existing to make such an upgrade meaningful.

Because 3/4 of those games are RT and Lumen which is fake pathtracing boosting the AMD garbage performance, for PTGI you have to look exclusive for games that feature it which are CyberPunk, Indiana Jones, Doom the Dark Ages, Alan Wake 2, Black Myth Wukong and F1 25, the issue is not so much now but next year as more game start featuring path tracing for example Capcom is now fully sponsored by Nvidia and both Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata feature day one pathtracing and any future monster hunter game will featuiure it either, then you have that for example RDNA4 cards get inflated by unreal engine games using Lumen and claiming its RT when in reallity is fake RT

Actually he said that DLSS 4.5 is much better, and FSR4 is garbage, the issue comes from FSR4 being a CNN (UNET) model so the good things that Tim mentions are things that inhenretnly CNN models like dlss 3.8 had and regressed when moving to the first transformer model and now further refined with the 2nd transformer model.
https://woti.substack.com/p/understanding-fsr-4
On a blind test with over 400 aymd users on computerbase, over 90% of them choose DLSS 4.5 performance over both native and FSR 4 quality and lose their shit when they found out they were voting for nvidia https://www.computerbase.de/forum/threads/dlss-4-5-fsr-ai-vs-nativ-im- test-die-bildqualitaet-im-direkten- side-by-side-video-vergleich.226457 2/

Liquid Freezer 3 and many other AIO pumps emit a high-pitched noise.

You could buy the Pure Rock Pro 3, undervolt the 5900XT (maybe downclock by -100MHz), and set stricter power limits.
You can retain 90~95% of the CPU's stock performance if you're lucky.
Stability testing might take 1~2 weeks.
The last 100~200MHz boost isn't usually worth the required voltage & total power draw for most CPUs.

No, plastic pellets aren't pure white; they're a bit clear grayish.
You need additional stabilizers to prevent white plastic from turning yellow & becoming brittle in the sun.
The change in the plastic fan's molecular structure made Noctua's prototype white fans structurally weaker (blades eventually stretch & warp).

Why the fuck is storage so expensive all of a sudden
>>
>>108032917
They aren't buying 5090s and consumer RAM. Even if the bubble burst tomorrow you are going to be a year away from cheap components minimal. That extra money I spent on a non founders 5090 is a wash when divided by months of enjoyment. That and I am set regardless of the future. Buying PC parts is like storing food for the winter. Stock or starve.

Local AI relies heavily on virtual ram check what page file size, last year there were a couple of important breakthroughs on using virtual and regular ram to hold the models as cache, this basically means that while you now can run either large models or simply train/inference faster you are killing your limited writting life on your storage

I thought it was only Ram... What a grim realization to wake up to.
At least HDDs will still be somewhat cheap, right...?

Because a bunch of STD-riddled child rapists who dance around bonfires with feather dusters up their asses decided that only by destroying the global economy and inflicting untold suffering on everyone else who by their labor and actions gives them power in the first place can they attain personal validation and metaphysical godhood.

>doing research on the PS120 versus the PRP3
>end up learning that every tower cooler heatsink for CPUs is tailored to the fans they are going to use
>implying that if i bought the same Pure Wings 3 fans as on the Pure Rock Pro 3 and stuck them onto the Phantom Spirit 120 that they would perform worse and be noisier
Fuck. They're really making the choice between these two coolers a hard one for me.

But the CPU is bottlenecking the shit out of it and there's no point in upgrading it because the only one I can get is a 9900K and it'll be the same trash but with more power consumption and I can't get a new motherboard/cpu combo either because of the Ram bullshit.....

LGA 1700 has DDR4 compatible boards bro, if you wanna upgrade before they go up or something (if they haven't, I haven't checked in a while) you can do so now.

I hope this side is going to be mesh because who the fuck wants to see cramped hardware burried under wires blocking any attempt at airflow? That plis the colorscheme is like an INTJ made a computer and remembered at the very last minute to put some lights to feel daring.

Screw it, I ordered the Phantom Spirit 120, I found a listing for $58 which was only 4 dollars more expensive than the Pure Rock Pro 3. Hopefully the fans are not going to be as bad as people say they might be otherwise I'll return it and buy that instead. I figured the extra heatpipe would help inside of the Pure Base 600.

How many users report noise problems with their Pure Rock Pro 3 versus their Phantom Spirit or Peerless Assassin? You buy German brands for reliability and quality when they offer it to you at competitive prices, even if you sacrifice a little bit of performance.

wait what, this is exactly what I've been experiencing periodically.
Game is supposed to load a level, instead it freezes, whole linux OS freezes.
Unless I hard power off, and power on, the nvme drive becomes not selectable/bootable.
A resetbutton isn't enough to get out of it.
You telling me I can actually fix this shit with some commands? Why is this shit happening on linux anyway?

This happens on Windows too. It happens because the NVME controller locks up for whatever reason. This can be related to the NVME driver (Windows made updates to it related to direct storage and servers) and for Linux it's related to ASPM which is telling the NVME to go idle but sometimes it sleeps so long it never wakes up again even on the BIOS until you power cycle the whole PSU.

okay how do I safely test this shit and fix it on linux?
It literally stops me from playing videogames fo the past 2 months.

Disable it in your BIOS and then do this
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid_state_drive/NVMe#Troubleshootin g
You know it's working if your NVME runs hotter at idle because its no longer power saving. Shouldnt matter on a desktop but for laptops its a clear flaw.

>>108033638
>Disable it in your BIOS and then do this
What's the setting called? I'm not even sure I have a setting like that in bios?
>As a workaround, add the kernel parameter nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 to completely disable APST, or set a custom threshold to disable specific states.
How do I add kernel parameters?
