Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Resolved.

No. Just install, boot, then install new AMD drivers from amd.com and reboot - should be fine. Especially with 8 core all v-cache CPUs - easy.
There can be some fuckery if you just pop and swap. Personally, I would do a clean install or follow what Jay did with RevoUninstaller -

Good point! Better safe than sorry. Learned the hard way myself when swapping GPUs from NVIDIA to AMD. DDU alone not enough in some cases!
I think AM5 X3D (7800X3D) to AM5 X3D (9800X3D) should be safe but you never know!
I took the chance as well.

The walmart one went OOS now so I'm guessing the right part just marked incorrectly as the chat rep also said, digital items usually don't go oos this quick if ever.

You're fine. You can update the chipset if there is a new one available. Ideally make sure your BIOS is on AGESA 1.2.0.2a since it has 9000X3D optimizations.
There could be fuckery if you swap from a 7900X3D or 7950X3D, but it will be fine going from 7800X3D. Only the multi CCD have to use that stuff from Jay's video.
My newegg order just shipped and will be here Monday. I also ordered a mobo and memory with it as well.
I tried to order first on Newegg but my order was immediately cancelled due to no stock, despite the website saying it was in stock.
Similar thing on Amazon too... not a cancellation but no actual delivery date because they don't actually have it in stock so I cancelled.
My microcenter only has the older D15 in stock.
Fortunately I already have AM5 mounting hardware for my NH-D14 so I'm going to just try that first and see how it goes. I'm surprised the G2 isn't widely available yet though... both newegg and amazon had it listed as shipped and sold by noctua themselves rather than the actual website. I just want the standard version.
Where did you order the G2?

I haven't even been able to see a Best Buy page listing.
It just went up. Doing the GPU waiting room thing.
it could be browsed to, but it wasn't coming up in search results if you tried to search it.

I was on the fence but with recent events, expect all electronics and everything in general to go up yugely in price soon. Will be a comic tragedy..
Got the 9800X3D installed.

Ok so after reading a few things around the internet, this is what it does:
For dual CCD chips, it disables the slower CCD.
For all CPUs, it disables SMT.
There may or may not be some other stuff going on to prioritize main game threads to the fastest boosting cores. But, this is essentially a single click marketing tool, for disabling those things. Which you could already do, via separate, buried settings.

Well, TPU ran a whole article about disabling SMT on Zen 5. And I didn't know what "Turbo Game Mode" does. So, I thought it informative to explain what this feature actually does. Which is disable SMT and the slower CCD.
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-9-9700x-performance-smt-disabled/
Personally, I would recommend people with dual CCD chips, to try simply disabling the slower CCD. But not disable SMT.
Everyone else, don't mess with it.

Let's get some PBO and overclocks rolling people. GET ON IT!
Give us some settings and we'll make it happen.

Nah but I am interested in 0.1%/1% lows in fast-paced games (in particular, 1440p/240hz+ or 1080p/480hz+.) X3D turns CS2 into butter and I'm curious how much of a thicker slice we're getting in this generation. Also a bit excited to see what they pull off with the 9900X3D/9950X3D chips.

Good board choice. I have it and it's been flawless with 4 dimms with 96GB of ram @ 6000MTs.Got the 9800X3D installed.

Try the settings shown in this time-stamped video:
View: https://youtu.be/mGinUBppUhc?si=NR7FLp50XsMfkF_6&t=77
On a 7800X3D, this results in the same performance as stock. But, drops 10C off the cinibench temps (I tried it on my own setup).
Because Zen 5 is a different architecture and boosts higher, it may need more like 85 watts to keep "stock" performance.
confirmed.
order placed at like 10:35am PST. Well after the standalone CPU was sold out.
Combo deal went through and getting my 9800X3D.

10:35am PST, CPU alone was out of stock and unable to add to cart.
which is why I started looking at combos that included the 9800X3D. The combo did go through, while the standalone CPU was unavailable.
point being, the combos may still have the CPU available if the standalone CPU is not available.

Did you have to reinstall Windows? What CPU did you have previously?

no. you uninstall the chipset drivers, run the clean up tool to double check, then swap. thats what your supposed to do anyways, or do like the vid above shows.

I decided to do a clean install this time around. Will take me a while to get back up and running.
That’s what I did exactly. All good thus far. Had 7800X3D prior.

Welcome to the fast lane!! lol. That's where I started around age 13. Athlon XP 2500+ to 3200+ and ATi 9500np -> 9700np flash made me such a happy budget gamer back then. We've come a long way
