Keeping those die temps<80C while dissipating 300W is impressive.
If you have the time can you let me know what your cooling setup is and how hard it was to delid?
The removal of the IHS is very easy with the delid-mate
Took some pictures here

Cooling is the optimus signature v3 waterblock together with a very large cooling loop. (mora on a different level and 4 pumps in series)

Anybody with a 9950X considering the 3D version when it comes out? Besides gaming what does the extra cache do for other applications?

As I wrote before, "I am like drunk with power already" but I need more.
I'm considering moving to 9950X3D(X2).
My main reasons to (side)upgrade are:
* gaming
* power consumption (better binned dies)
* big boost in database software
* help with 3D visualisation (viewport)
* running emulation software
* moar is better because is moar
* I had 7800X3D before ... miss that efficiency and responsiveness
* something new to play with

"moar is better becasue is moar"

I can subscribe to that theory. I didn't know the 3D's are binned better? So the best 9950X compute tiles get the 3D v-cache plopped on them?

I don't know if AMD confirmed it for the 9950X3D. But the 7950X3D has a higher maximum frequency of the X3D CCD than the 7800X3D. And the 7950X had 1 good 1 low CCD. The 7950X3D had a good normal CCD and a good X3D CCD. Presumably they're doing the same here.

Must resist the upgrade. Must resist.... ah, forget it. Resistance is futile.

I'm not sure if DAWBench results have any relevance to your workflow, but X3D is pretty strong in the VI testing at lower buffer settings.

Yes I do a lot of DAW work but modern CPU's are so fast I've never even gotten close to topping out my plugins. I mean 500 plugins in a mix? Might be time to start working on recording technique if you need 500 plugins!
We used to do it back in the day with 24 tracks, eq on each track from the board, some outboard compressors and fx. Done.
I watch videos of guys piling fx on a channel saying, "Hear that? Amazing right?" And I'm like I don't hear it? The song still stinks and whatever you did to that sound didn't help!
Sorry to be negative, couldn't help it. "Now a hear just a tiny bit of harshness on the vocal at 4.785938kHz that needs to be notched out!" Yeah, you're also notching out any character of that particular vocalist.

The 9000s have unlocked multipliers though. It seems most 9800X3Ds do +200mhz, and beyond that the chip lottery becomes the main factor. So the 9950X3D might not be any better for games.

Do you mean as in "only the non-stacked die is the binned one"?
Looking back at 7950X3D, the stacked die was most likely binned, it did +200MHz more than 7800X3D after all (hence technically the faster of the 2, IF you opted to turn off one die or the other in games that don't play well with both or strangely like +15% more clock rather than 200% more cache). But now with unlocked multis for all, it would be interesting to see binning data on the stacked dies from each.

I totally agree with your assessment of modern production approaches. One of my college instructors was fond of saying "you can't polish a turd". He hammered it into us that "fixing" it in the mix was not the proper approach. I pretty much still approach my mixes like we did back in the day only with plugins instead of hardware. Most of my tracks don't have more than a channel strip or an EQ/comp on them at mix time.

I haven't really dug into the DAWBench testing methodology but I'm pretty sure that the plugin instances used for these tests are pretty light on CPU. 500 plugs in a mix is absolutely ridiculous regardless. I don't typically use more than 24-32 audio/instrument tracks (I really don't use VI's very much) and 8-12 stereo buses. I can still get dropouts at a 64 sample buffer if I'm using 1-3 UAD plugs on every track/bus. That could just be the driver for my interface or the PT2018 audio engine though. I should probably upgrade both.

I have a bunch of UAD native plugs as well, they hit the CPU harder than Waves, Klanghelm, Fabfilter, Soundtoys, etc... Of course the reverbs are the ones that really eat the cycles.

I haven't run out of CPU with my 9950X and RME 802 Fireface and Presonus Studio One... so far. Actually I never hit 30% CPU usage. But I haven't done any big projects lately.

If you're planning to go through the trouble of delidding, I really suggest you look into PBO as well:


Well, more precisely "PBO + undervolting (with curve optimizer and curve shaper)". Despite the disclaimer on enabling it, PBO can be a pure undervolt rather than overclocking (when you PPT, TDC and EDC properly).

Not using it certainly leaves more performance on the table than you get from only delidding:

From the linked post above (by @MarkPost)



To get even in the ballpark of @Det0x results you'll need both of course. And a golden sample and liquid metal, custom watercooling and lots of skill

I'm good for now but I could get antsy, that's why I was inquiring.
Det0x gets BIG numbers.
When the 9950X clocks up high on all cores it is extremely impressive.
200W is fine for now.

I use PBO 230W target and CO -15 on CCD0 and -25 on CCD1.
Very basic and "safe" tweak which gives me about 5150-5250 on all core CB23/24 10 min runs.

Was finally able to snag one of these today I saw 4-5 other people walk in right after me asking for it. lol I drove to Canada Computers and picked it up before going to work and glad I did already sold out.

Now I just have to buy ram and I can start that AM4 to AM5 upgrade.

I completely goofed last night posting sober. Thought I was in the gen 5 thread.

Adding 2 more quick disconnects. Rigid tube is for the birds unless you are making money from it. No doubt beautiful builds.

But for a post standpoint. Yea. 2 more soft tubes and I should be good till I can't use a mouse anymore.

Whelp, discovered that for about or more than a year I ran the GPU connected to 2 output ports on the AMS radiators. Must've just run it backwards through those two rads IDK.

So a bunch of redoing and trying to make minimal changes as to not have to take out more rigid line. 😆

Leak test overnight. Should I go half into green?

Broke a bit power 90 rotary. 😫

Correct. I thought I was in the Ryzen 5 gen thread 🤦‍♂️it is a 9800x3d.

Wow.what happens when you're stuck with mobile only and sober 😀.

@DAPUNISHER possible to move to correct thread? Lol I'm so sorry. I seen Ryzen 5 and was tired and no reading glasses on LMAO.

Ok got a refused win11 pro install in. Doing drivers at the moment.

I need to know how this aqua computer vision block works. It showed 223C earlier lol. I assume a firmware update. Because the date is 2009. Plus I thought it was supposed to support reading flow rate.

I heard Aquasuite went to subscription model? Anyone able to confirm or is that just for aquero6. Anyway other drivers and stuff must come first so I will be doing those for awhile.
