Thanks for letting us know. I might actually turn my system on for the first time tonight.
Hang in there and enjoy it! Double check all your connections, and don’t stress if something doesn’t work as expected, troubleshooting is often part of the process.
That is about the same as what I'm seeing with the NZXT Kraken X72, which is also an AIO with a 360mm radiator. I was worried that I didn't install the AM5 bracket correctly since the instructions were extremely vague. Asetek designed the post offsets to work for both AM4 and AM5, and you need to figure out if the end with the ridges point up or down. I was going to remount it this weekend to check what the thermal past contact patch looked like on the pump. It is typically running around the mid-70s while gaming, but I've seen spikes to 83. After turning the pump on performance mode, idle fell from the low-40s to the mid-30s. Radiator fans are still using the balanced profile based on liquid temperature and sit around 900-1000 RPM, which is pretty quiet still.
Checking the thermal paste contact couldn't hurt! You'll either re-mount it the same for equivalent results, or find room for improvement.
Regardless, it's still a marked improvement over my 9900K, which could hit 90+ at times with the same cooler. Have to keep things in perspective with how many more transistors are packed into a much smaller space with the 7800X3D despite it using a lot less power.
yeah man, those temps are great!
I use a Corsair h115i, 280mm aio and my temps rarely get up to 80C under a prolonged load. I do have the voltage offset at -34 for whatever that is worth.
Corsair RM850x SHIFT and PowerColor RX6800 Fighter (non-XT, OC mode off). Neither CPU or GPU hitting thermal limits.
That really sounds like a bad connection somewhere and nothing to do with AMD vs Intel.
Install whichever drivers you want or need. If you don't need something, ie. bluetooth, there's little reason to install the driver. Skim the manual for the utility, if there is one, to see if you think you'll use it and go from there. Once you're done installing drivers and software and checking stability you should consider making a backup image of your install (eg. Clonezilla) for convenience.
My gigabyte B650 DS3H 7800X3D build gained quite a bit of performance when I reinstalled windows and used AMD’s drivers instead of the ones Gigabyte’s software downloaded.
Was it a newer version directly from AMD? The vendors are usually a bit behind on updating their downloads.
Absolutely. I have more games installed on my new PC than I've played through in 20 years, I'll never get through all of them, but it's fun to see.
LOL.
The gf is always right.
Get lastest chipset drivers installed. Get them from AMD. Make sure you are on a current non-beta BIOs and enable EXPO after you do the update. Avoid Armory Crate at all costs...it's a POS and will only cost you performance.
Early rumors suggest the 5090 will be 2-2.6x as fast as the 4090 and the AMD 8000 series will see a 25% IPC increase. This would be absolutely nuts if true, but yea they are rumors from MLID.
Yes your highness, I just let Adrenaline Software do its thing and overall things got better. However it still crashes on the final single thread test in 3DMark’s cpu test. It’s perfectly stable for everything else I use it for, including Modern Warfare 2 (2022) and The Last Of Us part 1. LOS is pretty demanding, my rig won’t maintain 60hz at 4K with everything maxed out. I have to drop it to 1440 or turn on FSR to stabilize it. Very impressive game and I got it free with my GPU.
In the BIOS, I changed:
In this case, the chipset driver on the ASUS website is newer than the one on the AMD website.
I’ve upgraded every cycle with Nvidia, going all the way back to its original card. The step up from a 3090 to a 4090 seems like one of the biggest I’ve ever taken.
I think the 4090 is the biggest gen on gen performance increase, on average its 63% faster than the 3090 in rasterized workloads. Titan X Pascal was 58% faster than the Titan X Maxwell in rasterized workloads. The thing is the 4090 is twice as fast in RT workloads, I think that's why the card seems so rediculously fast. I remember launching Cyberpunk 2077 the day I got my 4090 and I was just completely blown away by the performance, it was literally double the framerate.
FWIW, DLSS 3 _is_ frame generation. Do you mean enabling DLSS 2 and then enabling DLSS 3 frame generation?
