I recently put together a new pc build. This is my third build overall and I built a high end rig.
I decided to see what my machine would capable of.
I have a 9850x3d and a gigabyte gaming oc 5080.
All I know about overclocking is from 2 videos from I’m watering PSUs.
I watched his undervolting video on the 9850x3d and his overclocking video on the 5080.
I have been able to maintain a -30 curve and +200 boost on my CPU no issues.
This specific run I was able to complete all my tests at +400 core clock and +3000 memory clock.
I’ve been messing around with the numbers for a couple hours and it’s just cool to see my name up there and get the achievement.
I did all of this 4 STICKS (YES FOUR) of g skill flare x5 6000 cl36.
I’m not sure how much more I could improve with cl30 but tbh it really does seem true that with the x3d chips, latency really doesn’t matter TOO much.
I also tried removing 2 stick because I’ve heard am5 benefits significantly from only using 2. It made no difference in my tests.
I did this on a Msi x870e-p pro WiFi motherboard.
Thanks for reading. I’d love your input.
