Overclocking upgrade from X79

[Andrew279cz]

As the title says, right now I’m on X79 (3930k) for my OC rig, and I’m looking for something to upgrade to.
The things is, it needs to OC pretty well on ambient, so 3rd gen Ryzen is mostly out the window. It’s JUST FOR OVERCLOCKING and such. Possible subzero in further future.

Lastly, I would like to stay below 1000€/1000$ for the whole setup (cpu, mobo, ram). Don’t care if it’s used, as long as it works.
(If it’s ddr4 I’m getting Patriot 4400cl19 2x8gb for 90€ brand new)

5Ghz at 1.53v semi-stable.

4.95Ghz at 1.47v for “full system benching” perfectly stable. Air cooled using Cryorig  R1 Ultimate

Nice Im getting 4.6 rock solid at 1.3V,gonna try that 4.95 later. How were the temps? Im using Enermax Liqmax 240mm radiator.

Hop to X99 if you can get a mobo for a reasonable price (I got my X99 Classy for $99 on a B-Stock sale), or really any newer Intel. Like you said already, Ryzen is eeeh for OCing. More of a tweaking thing, messing with the boost/RAM and such.

Personally not too keen on X99. Don’t feel like paying around $600 here in EU for another 6 core that’s barely better than my current one. Same goes for 8 core which isn’t much better.

 

Also found a 7980xe for $650 and X299 UD9 for $250. With RAM I would barely exceed my budget.

Yikes pricing must be wack there. I got my board for $99 USD, j-bin 5960X for $290 USD.

Ooooooooooooooooo..... if you can keep it cool, hell yeah. Excellent OCing chips from everything I've seen, especially if you go through the hassle of delidding or direct die cooling them. Does the UD9 have acceptable VRMs though? IIRC some of the earlier X299 boards were a bit underpowered for the massive core count CPUs.

Going to buy a big and thicc 420mm rad and D5 pump for the current system, so I could easily use it with anything else.

 

The UD9 is one of the early ones. When Buildzoid did his PCB breakdown the hottest Chip was the 7900x, which doesn’t give me too much confidence in its performance.

 

Found a X299 Dark for $80 more. Might be better to buy this mobo instead.
