thanks im super excited about getting mine (its stuck in customs)  whar cooler do you use please ?

I have custom water cooling 2xD5 on 540 rad outside chassi for cpu and gpu , little overkill no problem with high temps,

did a fast and dirty test, same settings same os only swap CPU 7800X3D to 9800X3D

Hardware ASUS 670E Hero. 64  Gig CL30 expo, Galax 4090 OC Lab, res 4K

Tested home Airport . ORBX ESSA  , INI EGLL the upplift at "4K" exakt 16% think +20%  is possible with little Tweaking.

Greggy D stop belive  Linus youtube sensation vids ,

Edit. OC it to 5.6ghz stabilty testing it now all ok need more time but its promosign , when tested in MSFS at EGLL and ESSA the uplift is 27% yes!!!

This CPU is a Monster its fun to play with,

Will the 9950X3D be much better performance wise, guessing it will costs £300+ more, so value for money will be a subjective choice...

With the previous generation, the 7800X3D was often the better choice for gaming. This generation may be different if both cores have 3D cache.

But, according to the specifications the 9800X3D will have a higher Base clock than the 9950X3D.

We will have to wait for reviews to see whether more cores at lower clock is better than less cores at higher clock.

Based on the new specs for MSFS 2024 finally built a new PC; it had been about 4 years since my last upgrade. First time AMD user. Bought the 7800x3d not realizing the 9800x3d was right around the corner. Swapped out the 7800x3d for the 9800x3d and MSFS 2020 is amazing. Been doing lots of flights with the Fenix A320 and MSFS has never looked better. Going from a 2080ti to a 4080 super probably made the biggest difference, but I couldn't be happier with the system I have now. Unfortunately, I could not take the 7800x3d back to Microcenter (15 day return) so I guess I'll have to put that on Ebay!

Same boat as you! Except I was able to return my 7800x3d within the 15 day period to microcenter. I’m had a 8700k and 2080 prior. The 9800x3d and 4080 super fantastic so far!

Well, received mine Tuesday but was waiting for my new case and was busy trying to get my old parts sold off. Finally got it all up and running last night, everything smooth so far. I wanted to get into overclocking and dialling in everything but Sea Power released, Stalker 2 and MSFS next week, think I'll hold off on that for now. 

Also saw this making its rounds on various social media; https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/two-ryzen-7-9800x3d-cpus-burned-out-on-x870-motherboards-vendor-investigates-the-ryzen-burnout-issues 

Then I saw buildzoid's video and realized this was most likely user error, looks like they straight up installed it wrong

JayzTwoCents also did a video on this and pointed out the socket shows sign of force/abuse. Sofar I've read about only one user on Reddit but perhaps there are more people who didn't learn their basics:

All work nice run PBO + ECLK curve -15 it hold  5533mhz that with less voltage then STD.

My simple PC no fansy things

That's a nice machine, west. 

I'm just going the safe, lazy route because there's not a lot to really do with these chips, which is kinda nice. Also did the PBO +200MHz, 1x Scalar, Curve to -20 (Tried -30 and -25 but it froze, not really in the mood for doing per-core testing) and voltages even on 'Auto' seems so low, not even worth wasting hours finding lower numbers manually. 

During a Prime95 run, it peaks briefly at 1.19v, which is weeeell within safe limits of the CPU. People are talking about 1.3 - 1.35v being fine for daily operations. 

Think I'll just clamp it down there and call it a day

Now I'm officially ready for MSFS 2024
