  2. This is why I stopped buying AMD years ago. They were great back in the late 90's and early 2000's, then I had nothing but problems with their devices, both CPU's and GPU's. I switched to Intel when the Core 2 Duo E4300 came out and overclocked it, since it overclocked so well. Those things were amazing; 1.8Ghz to 2.4Ghz on stock cooling! I no longer overclock my CPU's, but I've stuck with Intel and Nvidia since that PC, because they always just work.

  3. So after 4 months or so would you say that an AMD system can still be wonky re: memory issues?
    Am an ALMOST 70 year old building a high end gaming system and have always used Intel CPU/GPU's. Been 10 years since I built a system (I7-4770k with a GTX 780…it's time!!

    Was considering AMD but want to make a fast system as trouble free as possible. Don't mess with overclocking, tinkering like I used to…just wanna run stuff stock with a minimum of fuss. Thanks – like the channel!

  4. Cheap X670-Prime with 7800x3d on some last year May´s Bios (-PBO 25 mV) 64 GB DDR-6000 with decent latencies and 4090 (PT 90%) in Fractal Torrent Mini case (yes, some 4090s fit) here, cooled fully by a 50 Eurodollar Peerless Assassin fan.
    And running with no issues except that if some Bios setting won´t work I need to fully reset CMOS – plus I had to manually set optimal RAM values. Which is annoying but not too bad given that this platform doesnt really need much OC/Tweak overall to unleash what it has to offer. And that´s cool cause my life time nowadays is too valuable to spend too much of it in Bioses.
    It´s a gaming beast, cool and quiet and good enough for a video render for my work every now and then. Plus in my country, energy is expensive so I am happy to save here.
    In summer, the only time my system heats up the room is when the GPU actually gets to work on some highend gaming stuff. Saves me to switch on the noisy and costly AC ever so often.
    As an enthusiast, I shall be upgrading to whatever VCache based CPU AMD brings by the end of this year by just swapping out a single component: The CPU.
    And from all the money I am thus saving, I am gonna keep refining my audio setup (see above for favorable system noise levels) or just buy the badassest GPU team green will throw up next gen.
    To me, this platform clearly is the smarter choice ™. It almost outta be a nobrainer.

    PS: But yea, that the 7950x3d is more a makeshift product/proof of concept was kinda expectable. If one is supposed to manually supervise/adjust core affinity in this day and age of AI, then that alone should be a red flag. You played beta tester/supporter for us, thx. And next gen everyone can safely be advised to buy the equivalent of the 7950x3d, too.
    We see why the 16-core Vcache CPU never got realized earlier despite everyone asking for it. It was not that AMD was unable to execute before but that they had legitimate considerations about whether this product should exist.
    And I like my today´s AMD which executes in a calculable manner, in line with their CEOs promise. They, in fact, switched roles with Intel right there and in all aspects of the formerly mentioned.
    All variables taken into account, the efficient usecase spectrum for Intel desktop CPUs right now is so thin that it takes one either being disregardful a conscious company supporter to rely on their current offerings. Not so long ago when roles were switched with AMD here, too.

  6. Lol that'd be like throwing a Northstar V8 in an 87 olds Cutlass supreme LoL which's geared for a v6 however you haven't found the technology equivalent of an overdrive transmission 😁 omg! That'd be a scary combo lmao set the max limiter to 220 and I'd bet ya get at least 200 outta it😄 with pedal to spare like i said SCARY and i hada 4-door regal for quite awhile sooo pass everything cepta gas station lol

  9. Just purchased a 14900k for a rig I’m planning to be used for mainly video/photo editing. Very worried about the temps but hoping I can tame the beast with the Arctic Freezer iii 360mm. I’ll update once the system is together if people are interested. Planning to build in the Fractal North XL. 👍

  10. There always will be some faulty cpu and i bet the issues u had was just that, i had all of the AMD CPU's kind since 20 years, never had problem until Ryzen 5600, all was working great until i got idea to put newest bios, took me 2 weeks to realize the crashes in the idle was the new bios, i loaded the old one and all is back to perfect

  12. Came back to this video after dragon's dogma refused to run anywhere acceptable on 5950x and seeing people running it really good on intel and considering switching as well now lol

  13. I wish I had of seen this 2 weeks ago when I bought all my parts as I would of gone Intel over AMD I bought the Ryzen 9 7900X 12 core 24 thread which is seated on an ASUS TUF gaming B650 and bought 6400 corsair vengeance ddr5 ram and ended up having to dial it back to 5400 to get it all to run stable, the instant you ramp the RAM up to 6400 any game you enter will run fine for 5 mins but will just crash and black screen the whole PC and restart so my PC now sits at 5400 to remain stable, although its not a big deal its FREAKIN ANNOYING

  14. This is something amd fanboys never mention, all the weird issues you run into with software problems, failed boots, its a complete mess. I was convinced once by the amd hype and got a full amd system, and every time i booted up the pc it was a coin toss if i would even get it to turn on. Memory retraining every other boot, the radeon 5700 xt not displaying anything, crashes and glitches in games specific to amd. Never touching team red stuff again.

  18. When I first built my new system after purchasing it on 2023 Black Friday. My AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPU temps when testing it in so many testing software.
    I noticed the CPU temps each time going to 95c on temps. I even tested it with different CPU coolers from the Kraken AIO cooler to the Assains 4 cooler.
    And in each one which was 4 different kinds of coolers I tried all reached 95c just on benchmarks.
    Running the computer normally the temps would reach 88c on its own with no bench marks at all, just on normal use.

    I was getting pretty upset at this time. So what was forced to do was to go into the BIOS, plugin some numbers and force my CPU to go down to 65 watts.
    After doing that, and rebooting and tested the system again on bench marks as well as normal use, the temps did not pass 75c, no matter how hard I push it it remained on 75c.
    I left it that way since. The numbers I used are the following. PPT 142000, TDC 110000, EDC 170000
    No problems whatsoever since I made that change, not even stability problems. And computer is still fast using the Gigabyte X670E Aorus Extreme motherboard.
    And 128GB GSkill DDR5 6000 and using Two Samsung's 990-Pro M.2 NVMe

  21. So you are crying cause you have not enough power to do THUMBNAIL EDITING 😂😂😂😂
    I am working with large 3d scenes on a 16 year old i7! 😂😂😂😂

  22. Tried building a AM5 build slow boot times, super slow, stuttery, usb ports stuttering and disconnecting. Wont build another AM5 until all these kinks are worked out bought a AM4 bundle and it booted first try ZERO issues. AM5 right now is just trash.

  23. Just upgraded from 3600 to 5800x3d. Microcenter had a pretty sweet bundle deal. Running it with asus tuf b550 and asus 3080 tuf. I have a steady 20% increase in fps with 0 overclocking.
    0 issues. Totally stable.

  24. I watch this and other PC channels just to keep up with what's going on. I build PC's most of the time older stuff. I am sitting happy with a quad channel E5-2667 v4 build. Which is older but highly capable. Was an AMD fan back in the FX days

  27. Yes Jay, good and honest insight. I felt the same man, nothing major, but small annoyances. It is like death by a thousand cuts, no deep wounds. You don't run intel and nvidia for life until you deal with these stuff. when you need a system that just runs everything properly every time, the whole time. I had similar experiences with amd video cards on one hand and with amd cpus on other occasions (none threadrippers). Which made me come to this conclusion: my pc at home = Intel + nvidia. No hiccups and when issues do appear you are sure the solution is handsfree around the corner, just update windows and graphics drivers. No need to dig up forums to find workarounds or install modded drivers, life is too short for that. I used many amd computers at work with no issues, but workstations are usually more stable systems with ecc memory. With intel and nvidia you most likely to get a hassle free pc from launch (mind the nvidia cable saga). AMD sure gets better after a year or so when every bug has been addressed and drivers are tightened up for all the games and it is getting better and faster at this process with every generation. Ok now let me rap it: So until they fuck up big .. my main rig .. gets blue and green .. without much thought, to maintain my sheen.
