What matters is the idle power draw and intel shines there and in tasks like chilling as users wont run it all the time in gaming or rendering.
Want an intel cpu at 20-30ºC or a 7800x3d cpu at 50-60ºC while doing nothing and sucking power because they need those extra W to keep their infinity fabric running?

The high idle consumption problem on AMD was a bug with Zen 1 and Zen 1+ because the C-states had to be disabled for stability reasons, it doesn't really apply for modern CPUs and it's just a meme at this point, a system with a 4600G only needs like 12 watts at idle, almost N100 territory.

the CPU will run faster at lower SOC voltage because
1. the SOC eats up less of the available power budget, leaving more headroom for the cores to boost
2. the memory controller becomes less stable and trains worse after around 1.1-1.15 V
https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/oc-guide/DDR4%20OC%20Guide.md#amd-imc
>There are clear differences in how the memory controller behaves on the different CPU specimens. The majority of the CPUs will do 3466MHz or higher at 1.050V SoC voltage
>All of the tested samples illustrated negative scaling (i.e. more errors or failures to train) when higher than 1.150V SoC was used. In all cases the maximum memory frequency was achieved at =< 1.100V SoC voltage.

Since you think so highly of cpu reviews for gaming, which cpu should someone get who is buying a 4060? We know the answer can't be a 7800x3d. Clearly that's more perf than he'll need. Since he is a real gamer, we know he'll be running up 1440p, or upscaling to 4k (again, realistically we know what he will do - first he'll try to turn everything to max, then get irritated and try finally to get good settings)

He's not going to buy a 4090, and he'll be playing 1440 or 4k, or more likely upscaled to 4k, or at least try.

He'll be gpu bound in many scenarios. So, he shouldn't spend too much on a cpu.

that is because you're an idiot, that is the maximum performance those CPUs can offer with the best GPU available.
none of those CPUs will bottleneck a 4060 at 1440p or 4k, the GPU will be the bottleneck.

Can a good anon explain to me intel's e-core and p-core thingy like I'm 5

>>103035490
amd makes fast, good, cheap cpus using 2-3 smaller chips
intel can only make 1 big expensive chip. so they put small cores into their big chip to make it faster and not so expensive

>>103035490
You must be 18 YO to be here.
Intel's chip design team had to work around the space limitations of the 10nm node they were working with while AMD had access to TSMC's 7/6nm processes.
It wasn't able to compete against AMD's CPUs with just 8~12 P-Cores in multi-threaded workloads, which includes a lot of productivity and server loads.

So Intel decided to pair 8 P-Cores and 16 smaller E-Cores in the 13/14th gen to compete against AMD's 16 core CPU.
4 E-Cores takes up about 1 P-Core worth of area in a 13/14th gen Intel CPU die.

The E-Cores are weaker than P-Cores and can cause scheduling issues for games that generally prioritize strong single-threaded performance, especially games with anti-cheat running in the background.

What's the rationale for that? Zen 5 has a starved backend that will get to stretch its legs more thanks to vcache. Moreso than zen 3 or 4 did. It'll probably be a bigger leap from the 9700x than the 7800x3d was from the 7700x.

>>103035725
that's the best possible result. it'll probably be between 5-7% faster

>>103035732
zen5 is frontend bottlenecked like all other x86 cpus. if it wasnt, vcache would have no benefit since the frontend would be idling waiting for the backend to finish its work

>>103035771
Hey I want it to be >10% faster than the 7800x3d too but I don't see it happening

>>103035769
Correct, you're agreeing with me. A bottlenecked frontend results in a starved backend. Additional 3d cache results in a frontend which is able to feed much more instructions to the backend. So expect 3d cache to be a really big deal here. 10% isn't the maximum, it's the minimum.

>>103035757
5% is minimal uplift, AMD claims 8%.
in any case its still going to be king of the hill as long as there's not a regression in performance.

>>103035793
that remains to be seen since amd cucked single thread performance by limiting each smt thread to 4-wide decode

>>103035814
Indeed. Amd are attempting some silicon sorcery with their branch predictor to make 4 wide decode a non-issue but it does remain to be seen. The next week is going to feel painfully slow waiting for the 9800x3d reviews to drop.

A 280 is 35% more radiator area meaning way better cooling than even that
A 360 is only 10% more area than a 280, which is already overkill.

Now here's the kicker, a 280 is cheaper and runs much quieter because 140mm fans are much more silent than 120; especially 3 of them.

If you're dead set on an aio get a 280. More case options too.

You can adjust the power usage of your chip.
Anyway, 7600 is the lowest-binned Zen5 chip. The silicon quality of an individual 7600 could be anything between "almost a 7600x" and "dodged the trashcan by a hair."
Due to thermal concerns, 7800x3d was probs binned for power efficiency. As opposed to clock speed, which would have been more useful on 7700x, 7950x, or even the non-x3d chiplet of 7950x3d.

nta, but yes you dumbass, its there to remove bottlenecks
but its still taking measurements at 1080p with a 4090, which is NOT REALISTIC
for the VAST majority of people, they will be in a far more GPU constrained situation, eg at 1440p with a 4070super or a 4080super. and in that situation, the practical difference between eg a 7800x3d and a 7600x will be basically 0.
hence the claim that people in the real world are generally better off buying a cheap(er) cpu and spending most of their money on a gpu.
there are exceptions to this, ofc. like, if some1 spends all their time playing civ/factorio and other such gpu undermanding but cpu demanding games, then i can see investing in the cpu. but in the general case, fuck no.

I bought the MSI Shadow 4070 Ti Super which is just a Ventus reskin and I don't have any coil whine. Been good so far.

>>103036219
You need either DP or HDMI 2.1 for Freesync on Nvidia. Only the 4000 series cards have 2.1 so older models will need to use DP.

>>103036329
How can I tell?

>>103036424
some models like the higher end corsair ones use an internal USB header for pump speed and fan speed regulation

>>103036409
Rtx30 has hdmi 2.1

One more week until we get to wait one more month for the 9800X3D to be in stock after it's bought out by scalpers.

>>103036424
I don't think the first anon is entirely correct. You can run most AIO pumps off of a standard fan header with some exceptions which should be obvious from the manual. If you do need to do it you might get misreporting in pump speed due to polling differences. It won't matter if you're giving it the full 12V but it could cause some confusion if you decide to run at a lower speed.

>>103036424
>>103036493
Oh, and I should warn you to check the current draw against the fan headers' spec. Pumps typically need more current than fans. There /should/ be a big safety factor on these things but a board without a dedicated pump header is probably pretty cheap so best not to trust to that - if you've got a 2A pump and 1A headers, get an adapter.

>>103036477
true that
I got the 3080 strix within launch month and the 4090 strix on launch day in my cunt and I'm not confident I'll be able to get a 9800x3d by the end of this year desu

>>103036221
no idea, people say the mouse moves smoother

>>103036461
My bad, thanks for the correction.

>>103036221
240(/360/etc)hz panels are for esports, which are quite easy to run on most systems, and where a half decent modern rig will easily do 200+ fps.
that benchmark is either using only AAAs or at best a mixture of mostly AAAs with a couple popular esports titles thrown in. but probably only AAAs.

the more interesting question to ask is, at what hz do all benefits stop? like, how high do the hz has to go before even the professional players stop seeing an increase in their performance?

Will it stay this price for the oncoming holiday sales or do I get it now.
Its not uncommon to have the better deals before holidays and a different shittier one during.

>DO NOT USE ANGLED 12VHPWR ADAPTERS
this wasn't true and it turns out the connectors are just faulty lol
>A new PSU should be ATX 3.0 compliant
why? even most z890 motherboards don't use the gay new connectors
>Aim for 50-75% PSU utilization at full system load
yeah dude everyone totally buys 1200-1500w PSUs

this OP is basically garbage

If I'm not purely gayming, what is the next best alternative to 5700x3d?

>>103035930
It's not a big deal, it's just funny. Nobody knows which cpu to use with any gpu except the 4090. ie just throw your money down a hole.

>>103036800
if you're not gaming then what are you doing?

>>103036675
wait for another year or two and itll be even cheaper

>>103036800
Seconding >>103036815, what is the system for? Also, do you already have an AM4 motherboard?

cpu benchmarks arent there to tell you which cpu will get x fps with y gpu
theyre there to show you relative performance compared to other cpus
if you want the exact fps youll get for your combo, look it up on youtube and pray someone has done a test with the same gpu, game, resolution, memory speed, memory timings and probably some other shit i forgot.

What’s a quiet PSU that’s ATX 3 and at least 750w? I’m looking to replace the PSU in my system because it’s the loudest part of it, plus it’s old anyway

>>103036838
Sharkoon Rebel P20 750W

>>103036855
That must be a really shitty psu if it's the loudest component in your pc. How the hell is it louder than the gpu?
I'd say most decent psus are practically inaudible, but for what it's worth, I have an 850w montech titan gold and I don't hear it.

pretty much, the 9800X3D is going to be great but the 5090 will be out in two months. right now is when 4090 chads should be selling their cards and buying a used 6800XT

Check Cybenetics and HWbusters testing for specific models. Look for something with hybrid fanless mode and a large fan. Also, going up on the wattage means the fan won't have to spin as fast, if at all, for a given draw - most kick in at about 40% so aim for a power level where your "typical high" load is under or around that.
For example, a 7600+4070S build will pull about 300W while gaming so an 850W unit, assuming that 40% set point, could run passively almost all the time. Of course even at 50-60% load the fan should be quiet so 750W, or even 650W, might be fine depending on your autism levels.
OTOH if you're regularly loading both the CPU and GPU to 100% you'll need more wattage to stay passive. Though in this circumstance their respective coolers will likely still be louder than a modern high-end PSU so consider upgrading the cooling before you spend $400 on a 1600W supply.

I have a 5800X that I use for gaming. Is the extra cache in a 5700X3D even worth it?

>>103036924
>TES 6
Give up bro.

>>103032910
rtx remix doesn't work with DX9+ so they have to use the undocumented potato mode as a basis
it won't be better

>>103036963
No. just overclock and tighten your ram.

>>103036931
>right now is when 4090 chads should be selling their cards and buying a used 6800XT
thats a risky thing to do since blackwell 202 is chiplet based and could be pozzed from the getgo

Should I get the msi mag a550bn or the Seasonic G12 GC 550W?

>>103037144
Of the two the Seasonic is technically better but at 550W you're not running a high-end rig so it probably doesn't matter. Post your parts list if you want more detailed advice.

Hello anons, Im finally graduating from a 5600g getting ready for MH:Wilds as I managed to get a good deal on a 4060. I have a B550 Mobo and dont really plan on upgrading anything but my CPU.

So what should I get? No X3d, too expensive.
5600, 5600x, 5700, 5700x ? Best value that doesnt run hot, I'm using some cheap tower cooler.

>>103037205
5700X3D from AliExpress is cheaper than all those other options

>>103037205
Don't buy any one of them until you bench the game. With a 4060 you're probably going to be hard GPU bottlenecked so upgrading the CPU won't do much. If MH:W turns out to be too much for your 5600G then the 5600 will be the best value upgrade but by then you might have enough saved up for a 5700X3D.

>>103037195
It's ok bro
I don't think there will be a CPU fast enough to handle the 5090 without bottlenecking until we get the 2 generations newer 13800x3d

>>103037219
Im very skeptical of aliexpress, and i think id need a bios upgrade and Im too afraid to try and do that, as I might break something

>>103037226
I'd wait for the benchmarks, but theres little to no people who would even bother testing a 5600g+4060 nowadays. Hopefully someone does tomorrow with the betatest. To give me an idea

What should I set my pump speed to if I want it to last as long as possible?

>>103037247
>I'd wait for the benchmarks...
Sure by all means look for some from the beta but you're going to buy the game anyway so you'll be benching it yourself. Runs well? No upgrade necessary. Stuttery mess no matter the settings? Need an upgrade. Due diligence in the second case would be to confirm a CPU bind with RTSS.

>>103037205
5600 best value
5700x good too
5700 is garbage
5600x offers no meaningful advantage over non X

>>103037250
Find the highest that you can tolerate long-term and leave it there (or lower if temps permit). Ramping up and down is more deleterious than any particular speed. Also be aware that this is just fiddling - random chance/defects are going to have a much bigger effect on longevity than your settings.

Is the Xiaomi A27i IPS any good?

>>103037205
>>103037247
Wouldn't you need a bios upgrade regardless? I had to get one for my 5600. Regardless it's really not that scary, especially if you have some manner of EZFlash or whatever.
As for ali, it's safe as long as you don't try to save even more from the aleady very cheap popular store.

I think if you buy anything other than the 5700x3d you're basically throwing money in the garbage because the increase in performance you'll have is minor at best. Checking benchmarks, 5600g & 5600 often perform comparable, with the 5600 doing up to like 15% better in some games. The boost you'll get, especially in 1% lows, from the 5700x3d is significantly more.

Either stay on the 5600g, get a 5700x3d or get a new mobo+ram+cpu

I'd be surprised if it's even fast enough to keep up with the 5080.
