Someone owes me a X3D for predicting that!

It is such a cool running CPU, nice and quiet with just the 2x 180s and single TY-143 on the cooler

I didn't purchase it technically but I was just today gifted a blue iphone 13. It was a early gift.

They all have the same max TDP, the only difference is that the x3D doesnt seem to allow all core over/underclocks - it'll annoy my OCD, but i'm sure gaming at 4K 200 will alleviate that for me :3

With PBO, high limits, and an aggressive curve that 5900X could do 215w, or 235w PPT. It is a beast. At stock its pretty tame and pretty easy to cool, even with a little cooler like Ulltra 120 Extreme.

Corsair CX650M with the triangle grills reviewed by Aris

And a Fifine K780 microphone with all its doodads.

I have been swearing before that the meme of AGP is this: Reseat, reseat, reseat, reseat and then reseat again!

Yeah.. as the contacts are staggered so it's sometimes just almost seated properly. I may try those cards again later today; luckily I have a beeper there so I know what's wrong.

No, but you're going to be happy! That's the King of Gaming CPU's right now. And coming up from a 2700X, you'll notice the differences.

Could be a compatibility thing. Not all generations of AGP cards were compatible with all AGP slots.. What cards did you try and was the exact board model?

For example, Radeon 9550, X800Pro and GF 6600 GT doesn't work. And I know that those cards are working. Board is Asus A7N8X-X with its latest bios.

Ok, no the cards are not the problem.

Though the board is known for failing caps, yet it still seems to work. It still may be a cap thing though, I'll recap it some day. :cool:

Is it dangerous to try those with 1.7V AGP voltage?

Mussels · Oct 2, 2022

Didnt they have big changes like 3.3v and 1.7v or something? wrong voltage = dead shit and fire

Good question. I'm not sure. Can't remember...

Mussels said:

Maybe. I'm pretty sure there were builtin safety cut offs.

Sybaris_Caesar · Oct 2, 2022

Also not exactly tech in the sense of this thread. Not even electronic!!! But a tech nonetheless. My first automatic watch. If I knew 69 dollars (nice!) coyld give me this much satisfaction, I would've bought watches ages ago.

In some games the x3D is very, very far ahead

If you arent running ultra settings with RTX on, the gap widens a lot

me today, grab my coffee , sit on my pc, open tpu alerts , start reading......
Mussels got his 5800x3D....

amazon raised the price back to $419

That mobo's AGP 8x slot only supports 1.5V GPU's if you use an AGP card that require 3.3V or 5V the best that will happen is a no boot the worst is dead mobo

Crazy how a bunch of us decided to just get the 58X3D lol.. I am not selling my 5900 though.. that thing is fast as fook still.

Damn I hate having a ichy tricker finger I really want this but hate at the same time to buy into a dead platform because there are not a good B550/X570 board for sale with at least 2xM.2., 6xSATA ports with 1xInternal USB-C on same for a good prices since the AM5 system is hella expensive :banghead:

Really? PCPartPicker shows plenty, starting at $120 USD. You can't filter by Type-E headers but adapters exist. A PCIe card could even take care of it.

There are plenty boards out and AMD has said more X3D chips are comming for AM4 & AM5 but you never know.

Plus you need to be careful searching for B550 because some takes 2xSATA away while running 2xM.2. NVME others take off the PCI-E x1/x4 slot.

If I remember correct the MSI B550 Tomahawk takes the PCI-E slots which is better for me when I need 2xM.2. NVME and 6xSATA ports only one these days doing 8xSATA ports are AsRock.

I cannot downsize on my drives they will cost a lot if need to and I am really thinking about the 5800X3D still since the AM4 option just is cheaper with more power and energy saving.
