I haven't tested 24/7 overclocking yet because I've been busy OCing my CPU. In terms of barely stable benchmark only I can go all the way down from stock 1150mv to 890mv for 3DMark. TechPowerUp got down to an amazing 850mv with their sample but that's got to be a lottery winner. I don't see...

23.9.1 has a weird way of controlling max GPU clocks. "Minimum Frequency" +25 MHz or so is actually the Maximum frequency. 23.9.2 fixes that and lets Max Frequency work instead. Problem is now the VRAM clockspeeds are throttling down in 3DMark so performance is worse overall. Look at the...

Both 23.9.1 and 23.9.2 are buggy in 3DMark. Hopefully they can get it straightened out within a few more updates. So far I have the top Graphics score of anyone in 3DMark Firestrike +Extreme +Ultra and Timespy +Extreme. 23.9.2 introduced a bug fix for core clocks along with a regression for...

It's for syncing the ARGB with motherboard ARGB or other devices. If you don't want them synced or don't have any other lights you don't need it.

I linked a retail box. There's only $3 difference between the two so it's not worth getting the tray version.

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/warranty-information/rma-03 Why wouldn't they support the warranty? I can't find anything on their website that says they won't. I also don't see how it's any different than vacationing in China and bringing home a CPU.

I bought a 7700X from MicroCenter at the end of June that turned out to be a dud. I'm going to try RMAing it after I can get a replacement. I've heard that process takes 1 1/2 months with AMD. I've found an AliExpress seller that's been active for four years with 99% positive feedback and 5...

Amazon is listing October 3rd shipping dates. I ordered one thinking fine I can wait a month and cancel if I find a better deal in the meantime. Within like 16 hours Amazon sent me an email updating delivery date to September 15-20. I take it that they are just being conservative and then...

I don't know about them, but I took that to mean a APU with the GPU side bigger than any of the existing retail models and maybe some HBM or GDDR6. An all out 125w+ APU with gaming/rendering performance equivalent to a mid-tier GPU will come some day.

Why do so many people think that's worse than the fragmentation between Socket754 and 939? They were still releasing new 754 SKUs after 939 was out but it was a crippled system where the fastest processor was only released as a OEM mobile chip without a heatspreader. Some people bought the...

Right when I get around to downloading 20.1.3.
