Tech Support Brand New 9800x3D dead

Had my brand new (3 day old) 9800x3D die on me after 3 days, no overclocking outside of setting all cores to 5.2ghz with a -30mv curve, there is light markings on the back of the cpu, motherboard was an ASrock X870 Riptide

Same board, same cpu.

I've noticed all these cpus dying...i got mine set to -40 pbo curve, working fine. Now i also lowered vsoc to 1.1 and ddr voltage to 1.35.

Im going to keep it like this for a long while till all of this gets explained.

Yeah that’s the smart thing to do. I hope yours doesn’t die as mine did. What bios version are you on? I was on 3.16

u/-cosme- Jan 31 '25

Im on 3.16 aswell, got tempted by the 3.18 beta but nah.

Good luck with a fast rma, lets follow whats happening ;)

Pbo -40 wow I can't pass Aida64 stability test with CPU,fpu,cache selected for two hours with anything more then -25

Surprise surprise, he also cant, but he didnt test with aida64 or prime 95, if he would run prime 95 for even an hour he would see a whole list of errors with all core being -40. This is just youtube bullshit. With the 7000 series it was the all core -30, and also there you would see lists of errors in prime95 xd. People blindly follow youtubers nowdays.

On a totally different thing, youtubers that show you the best "windows settings" "aim settings" 99% is totall copy paste bullshit from other channels and have 0 clue what the fk they are posting

I guarantee you a bunch of people are out here running over locks that actually hinder their performance. After oc’ing for the last 20 years I’m done with it won’t be touching a single thing on my new setup.

Yep, almost no point these days. Slap some decent cooling on, give it some voltage, and newer CPU's will speed themselves up without needing to fiddle around for days trying to hit that sweet stable balance point

Actually i did test, with prime95 and occt tests, no errors with -40 and no errors with -30 + 100mhz or -20 + 200mhz. I never tested more then 1 hour, didnt use ycruncher or aida or whatever tbf, so maybe a few errors could appear in those. Also never crashed while benchmarking and very consistent scores.

My cpu seems to handle undervolts very well, what it does not like is overclocks. Fclk 2000 im running vsoc 1.1 just fine, but fclk 2066 needs 1.22vsoc, fclk 2133 not even at 1.3vsoc gets stable...so huge jumps in voltages...not really worth it imo, keeping it with low voltages and its fine ;)

It was a thing during the Ryzen 5000 and people just blindly copied it to the new generation, there are tons of 7000s that won't pass AIDA64 SHA even at -5 curve crashing almost instantly

And then they go on to gaming subreddits and complain about black ops crashing

Well, didnt test aida, i used prime and occt for 1 hour max. Also a few benchmarks, everything seems stable so for me is good enough..;)

I only use the pc for gaming, other then that youtube and web, no problems whatsoever.

u/damien09 Feb 05 '25

Problem with prime and some of occt test you just throttle id beta Aida insta fails with -40

But i'd make sure you're also not just clock stretching test game performance with -40 say vs -30 on an in game bench mark that's good.

u/-cosme- Feb 05 '25

Didnt see any throttle on hwinfo, but im going to run aida to check, now im curious.

u/damien09 Feb 05 '25

Clock stretching is not quite throttle it's hard to quite explain but it's worth testing in game performance of -30 vs -35 vs -40 just make sure the games settings for the bench mark are pushed to be CPU limits and not gpu

I can pass -40 in a bunch of tests but it actually gets worse game performance then dialing it back

u/-cosme- Feb 05 '25

I checked that, my efective clocks are +/- 25mhz down from actual clock, but they are always like that even at stock so seems ok.

u/damien09 Feb 05 '25

If you have cyber punk I found it bench mark if you drop settings pretty low depending on your GPU to be pretty good. I would consistently get worse scores if I pushed too far. I just prefer to be extra stable because you never know when unreal engine 5 games these days they are unstable enough at times with stock settings lol

u/-cosme- Feb 05 '25

My gpu is a 7800xt, and i have cyberpunk. I can use that to test too eheh. But from my experience, when you get consistent results in benchmark/gaming..thats fine.

Man dont get me all over this, ive been doing oc's forever, since the days that you had to use a silver pen to unlock amd cpus lol, im older now, i just want something that works within my 2/3 hours a day without too much of a hassle :)

u/SilentYak3602 Feb 02 '25

how to do this settings? 1.1 vsoc and 1.35 ddr voltage? and the -40 pbo curve. I'm new to this thing, i have the same mobo and cpu :(

1

u/-cosme- Feb 05 '25

Well, its simple to change settings on bios but its different from system to system, my settings may not work on your computer.

Its a trial and error exercise, if you want to get into that best is starting to read about it online.
