Depends on the temperature of the water...

Jay agrees with my opinion...

I think the safest bet is to use an OC bracket? Like: RYZEN 3000 OC Bracket – der8auer

Hmmmm... I'd need to round up more zombies...

Oh, there are more failures...

I have 7 Days to Die and a 5800X3D - But have a 3090... 5120x1440 - Ultra Getting 90-120fps, it varies a little... Super smooth though. Doesn't really peg any one core at 100%.

I think I loved the dynamic between Yvonne and Linus more than the build itself... And Brandon's little "You're making my job very hard", was just the icing on the cake

I have to agree with them using 3200mhz on Ryzen... The memory controller on my 3950X is unstable, even with totally stock settings and just DOCP, running anything faster than 3200Mhz (possibly as I'm using 4x1R). Yes, it's possible to run memory faster, but it's not recommended by AMD themselves, and I've seen multiple friends complain the memory controller becomes unstable over time.

It's called an opinion; I'm allowed to have one... Chips have never run that hot before. And if you can de-lid one, and it runs 20-30C cooler, as Der8eur has, with similar performance, then there is a fundamental issue with getting the heat up through the IHS. But maybe that is how AMD intends for things to be... I don't think there is a right or wrong here, but it's pretty impolite to just dismiss someone's opinion as "wrong".

Personally, I'd be really after some G. Skill Trident Z5 Neo... Built for Ryzen, with sweet clocks and timings...

The 5800x3d is the best bang for buck for gaming right now... 7000 isn't worth it with the price of these motherboards, DDR5, etc. Might be more worth it if they release something like a 7800X3D down the line, with some cheaper motherboard options, but it'll give you so little benefit right now it really does feel a little pointless.

Probably a very good plan, I was looking at possibly getting the MSI MPG X670E Carbon, and shocked at the price... Even the Asus ROG Crosshair Hero seems to have doubled in price this generation. Mobo makers are having a laugh

Hopefully people don't kill their chips like he does that 7700X at the end

I've been seeing all these gaming graphs showing the 5800X3D kicking everything's ass, seen the prices of DDR5 and the X670 mobos, and the temperature issues the IHS is causing (I don't care if they say 95C is normal, it's not... And Der8eur has proved it will run crazy amounts cooler de-lidded), and just noped out of this generation and upgraded my 3950X to a 5800X3D...

I can't name another CPU launch in recent memory where every SKU was still in stock and available for order the first evening after launch... Did AMD misread the market a little? Or is stock just that good?
