If these 9000s handle the 3D Vcache better than the 7900X3D, I'm getting one for my AM5 MB. However, the X870E MB sounds nice too.

---

It wouldn’t surprise me to see them add the vcache to both chips this time around, being the 7900x3D got trashed so badly. I just don’t see how they overcome the chip logic issue, being so much of it is out of their control.

Have any of yall had luck selling a used tower before? What should I ask for this? All it needs is a GPU

So instead of selling this, I ended up buying a used 3070Ti for $300, slapping it in, and giving the whole thing to my 12y/o cousin. He's been playing WZ with us on his PS5 and is a stud, so I figured he'd do even better with a hardware upgrade. Seeing his face as it fired up last night was a great feeling

Doing a rebuild of my HTPC inside this case. Was easier than I expected it to be. The riser cable I had on hand was too short, so I'm waiting for the new one to come in before it can be finished up. It is a smol boi

Those are nifty little cases.

I’m currently in the process of trying to talk myself out of picking up the new O11 Vision Compact when I go to build in 6 months or so. I keep telling myself that my O11 XL is still lovely, but I keep not listening to myself

She's a cool little thing





fricking up the cheapo cooler install had me troubleshooting this thing far longer than I wanted to

The case was $60+$15 for a 300mm pcie riser.

The rest of the build... I couldn't tell you. I've had these parts in another ITX build for a while

And it's still a beast

Finally finished the beast. My last time touching this AM4 ITX build

Upgraded from a Sentry 2.0 case to a Dan A4 H20, 2070 Super to 4080 Super, and got a Fractal S24 V2 240 MM AIO and am using Noctua fans with it.

Went with a non-RGB all black/silver look. Didn't connect the RGB on the AIO CPU block. Looks pretty great.

Did some mild undervolting on both the 5800x3d and the 4080 Super.

Got the 5800x3d with PBO2 Curve Optimizer enabled:

115W PPT (reduced from 142W Stock)
90A TDC (reduced from 95A Stock)
115A EDC (reduced from 140A Stock)

-20 on Cores 4 and 5
-25 on all other cores

It doesnt exceet 83 degrees C under stress testing, and hits between 4.35 and 4.4 on all cores.Pretty much better thermals with better than stock performance.

Also have the 2 fractal fans set at 1300 RPM, and the AIO Pump set at 3100 RPM. Its fairly quiet.

For the 4080 Super, I played with the voltage frequency curve, and I got it to routinely hit 2820 MHz during stress testing at 950 mV, while not exceeding 61 degrees C. I have not tried OC'ing the memory yet - my old 2070 Super was a great memory oc'er with the Samsung GDDR6, I'm curious how this Micron GDDR6X does.

I thought it was pretty well known that the only changes were smaller ones under the hood. That's what all the articles have said since earlier this year at least.

With how much they discount them they sell like crazy for just a small tradeoff in productivity. It's been cheaper than 7800X3D many times lately at $329.

Only fusing the SRAM onto one CCD also reduces manufacturing costs, as the hybrid bonding process and additional chiplet make this an expensive technology. AMD also says that using two V-Cache chiplets doesn’t provide enough performance uplift to justify the extra costs.
