Why I switched back to Intel... 

Yeah I myself have a 7950x3d build. Been stable with 6000 ram since day one. Really don’t know what Jay’s issue is but there’s no way in hell you give up the best gaming cpu and go for power hungry intel.

rip

He should have tested that system with other brand ram modules.

@@MustafaGT the issue is that Jay simply loves Intel and that's it. No other excuse or whatever - not sure why not just say it straightforward, same as he builds everything on GeForce cards. It's fine to be brand-fan and stick to it as long as it's good, but just damn admit it...

@@utawamaruI mean its clear that nvidia has better gpus so its okay.

Windows has fixed many of the AMD issues they had on Win11 early on. So I'm not sure how they're having issues.

"experiences will vary" - comes to mind.

You will soon enough 😂😂😂

Agreed, excuses are fine. Or just say hey I prefer Intel. I don't know what these problems reported are...

I’ve built 2 PCs for my friend over these past 4 years. One with a 3700x and 5700x. Never had an issue Intel still better

I've had endless issues since I built my R9 a few weeks ago, very similar to everything Jay is laying out here. I just turned switched off the integrated system, I'll report back here if it ends up helping!

@@huntermckinney5239No. Can't turn on EXPO with stability, Windows 11 current update cannot install, white static led on Asus motherboard occasionally comes on indicating an issue with GPU connection (i've reset it, it's secure.) All of this since I updated the bios - shoulda kept it factory like I always have lol. Considering just returning the board to Microcenter and seeing how another one pans out. As long as I keep HDR off the video is stable. Anyways thanks for checking back in. The joys of PC ownership.

95% of people didn't have issues with ASUS boards. So, it's more like, you need to be extremely unlucky to have that issue.

That makes me feel much better (I'm thinking of getting a 7800X3D).

I’ve got the same cpu and it’s awesome.

same! paired mine with a 4080 from MSI. there's nothing I can throw at it to really make it show it's 'age'.

My plan is to get a 7600x or 7700x and then use the AM5 platform for architectural upgrades when they change how CCD optimisation works for the next Zen products. Switching to LGA and pushing 3D Vcache to higher clocks and cores is just flying too close to the sun right now.

@@heyitsterry The only thing I can think of, other than benchmarks, in gaming maybe cities skylines 2, or the next battlefield.

Same plan! I will get next AMD with 5000 series Nvidia.

If it's silicon lottery losses, it's not gonna matter what they go in. If it's BIOS related, well, good luck.

@@OutLanderUSNSilicone lottery wouldn’t affect this because he’s running at the manufacturer’s rated specs. Silicone lottery would be affecting overclocked systems or timings tweaked beyond what the manufacturer rated them for.

@@Poketroid23 My take on the OP here was a suggestion to try putting the CPU and RAM in different motherboards and try overclocking, as the crux of Jay's issues are that activating the XMP/EXPO/DOCP profiles don't work properly. Which could either be a loss at the silicon lottery or a bad BIOS/mobo.

I would have changed the memories before the cpu, I had memory issues with both cpu brands it's not like it's exclusive to amd

@@DarkP1 The IMC's on AMD's cpu's can barely over clock compared to intel's. The max mhz support it far below what Intel has. For AMD to be the original pioneered of the "integrated memory controller" they've neglected for so long now to the point where it is a liability for their own cpu's now.

This reminds me of when i had issues with my 10980xe pc at home i have 4x32gb sticks of 3600MTs ram which is overclocked to 3800MTs and was running perfectly for a few weeks. Then i started getting random blue screen and initially thought my cpu oc was unstable but that didn't fix it and lowering the memory speed to 3733MTs seemed to fix it then the blue screen started again so i lowered it further and it seemed to help and i ended up loeering my ram speed all the way to 3400MTs and then i finally figured out it was actually corsair icue crashing my pc all along as I'd somply selected the software and hit to delete and i assumed it was deleted but all of the driver Dll files remained without the othrr necessary files causing my pc to randomly crash but it it didn't mention icue or anything in the windows error log and the error code it gave was most commonly because of an unstable overclock anyways once i figured that out and disabled icue in services.msn and deleted the remaining files my pc stopped blue screening and i was able to put my memory speed back to 3800MTs without issue. I knoe you probably don't care about my little story it just shows that sometimes issues cam be what you least expect like in jays case it probably is memory but there's a good chance that it is something else entirely if dropping memory speed doesn't seem to really help.

How did you figure that it was iCue? Did you see it running on task manager or something? ​@oliverboi

@joebourgoin6554 i noticed that the same DLL was running right before it crashed by looking at the windows logs shortly before the fatal crash errors

Did you read the crash dump file to see what could be happening?

any update or changes on the new AMD build? I've read comments on stability issues or microstuttering problems with the 7800x3d.

What motherboard would you reccomend?@@bestonyoutube

why are you so mad lmfao chill@@bestonyoutube

If you play mainly games the 5800x3d is a very solid chip that shares none of the stability issues he talks about here and is fairly competitive even against the newer chips. Highly recommend it, myself and 4 of my buddies use it.

I still running the AMD 8350FX on a ROG Crossair V formula Thunderbolt....still run.s awesome for my need's .If it ain't broke don't fix it.

You probably shouldn't pick the 5950x because is is expensive, has thermo throttling issues and is overkill for most use cases. For gaming, depending on system load, it can actually run slower than a 12 or 8 core version. My recommendation would be the R7 5800X3D ( +25 -> 50% gaming ) if gaming is what you want, the R9 5900X ( +120% computation ) if computation performance is your focus, or a R7 5700 ( +25% gaming and +36% computation ) if you just want to solid PC upgrade. I am rocking a R9 5900X setup for 65W ECO mode, which means a little less power under heavy multicore loads but also less thermo throttling.

Good old FX-8350 myself. Served me well up until about 2020. Built a new system with a 5800x zero problems with that ran very cool no stability issues at all. “Upgraded” to the 5800x3d and to be honest not that impressed with it. Only way to make it hit the advertised boost is to play around with PBO/-30 offset which to me shouldn’t be mandatory on a factory tune. Also the clock speed hit is considerable so unless you’re playing the specific games that benefit from a X3D I would just recommend a 5800x. Price is right and it does what it’s advertised to out of the box unlike the X3D variant.

​@@South_0f_Heaven_ Switching from a 5800x, or even a 5700x, to a 5800X3D is a downgrade for most things aside from gaming. You also need very good (water) cooling, RAM running at DDR4-3600 XMP and a PCIe 4 capable motherboard ( 500 series chipset ) to really profit from it. With those your gaming performance gets near AM5 levels, and general computation power should also be okay.

Depending on your timings. Thats really slow memory, wouldnt be surprised if it caused bottlenecks in some games

@@mamamia5668 fortunately the timings are pretty tight. Started with buildzoid am5 standard timings, upped the speed and then worked on the sub timings slightly.

@@undiyos I ended up turning maximum power to 99% and it pretty much never goes above 70c anymore, performance is about the same as well. I discovered what was causing it, it was the V-Cache, which is apparently normal behavior.

The only times I ever had problems like that with RAM was when there were bent CPU pins but obviously the pins aren't bent in every one of these cases so I wonder what the CPU is doing to cause these errors, I wonder if it's the unrefined hardware or lack of software that will behave properly with the hardware it could be because of the goofy ass architecture AMD came up with too it sounds cool but doesn't seem like it's very reliable, might be fixed in future revisions

iv never had ram not work that was not on a qvl. but i dont buy low end ram. and i tune manualy and im good at it. ddr5 has voltage problems if your not in the small window for the voltage it wants it won't run. ddr4 has a bigger window for voltage and easy to get right on an xmp. first gen ram aka this first run of ddr5 will get better as they find a better pcb layout.

So, user incompetence 99% of the time. Never had a problem when actually finding out what parts everyone recommends in their own manuals. Its so fkn hard to read, isnt it.

My new AMD system is kicking ass, really stable and fast, even though my CPU is non x3d its the 7900, I put that in for a power efficient build.

"Fussy" and "finicky" are weird descriptors when users are failing to read their motherboard's QVL RAM compatibility. We know DDR5 is weird with 2< RAM sticks, even on Intel.

Small sample size problems, like a sample size of 1.

It's definitely an ASUS problem. Their forums and subreddit have new threads related to this junk every day. It's a shame J2c is so far out of the loop. I mean.. a quick email to Steve would have revealed it.

Same here. MSI ACE, dropped in 6400MHz Kingston 48GBx2 CL32 with 7950X3D, ticked expo/auto and the way it went. Used same ram and cpu for out other system except board was Asrock X670EPG Lightning, it too saw ram 6400MHz and have had zero issues.

yup, my experience. 7900 non-x is incredibly efficient and i love not battling with power issues and bios updates because it is on a budget workstation/server. i need it up all the time and on a budget. i would opt for 7800x3d over 7900x3d any day. single ccd with v-cache is better then 2 ccd where only one has v-cache.

Dude!

I only get the occasional BSOD and that was when I've been in Microsoft Flight Simulator which would make anything but Threadripper with 4090 cry

I found it's sensitive to fan settings, though mainly more the fans ramping quickly until I set a delay in BIOS. Never had an issue with them getting to the max temperatures though (that's 90C or something?). Curve Optimiser is your friend here (there's the PBO2 tool which lets you do this on X3D), found that I had stability just using someone else's modest settings to achieve -30 on all cores (you're generally not supposed to just use other people's settings, but it was stable so whatever) and a sizeable reduction in power/temps while actually gaining a sliver more performance. Even if you can't quite manage that, it can at least let you lower those temps down to give yourself more headroom.

I had the same thing and undervolted in BIOS and now I have a stable under 50C while playing Cyberpunk at High to Ultra settings.

That is a piece of software which will take the hell of your CPU and ramping up the temps. Your software? Doesn't in every case. How demanding it looks like. Cinebench is designed to ramp up the temps, voltage and stuff. Your software doesn't.) Your goal; using video/photo editing? The CPU is an absolute overkill. i9-14900k? Too much money. Performance? Some but not a lot against a cheaper i7. Wil take a few seconds of your task. what the difference? None. I hear the sounds also everywhere; Need for speed. Buy our product.... Speed doesn't do anything for you. It comes down to the software you are using. Some are really fast but others are slow in comparison. i7 or an i9? Makes no difference.Won't go so far as saying buy an i5. What you need is max cores. i5 is limited for a reason. Cheaper will do for the main part of the users, Browsing, email etc. Not a lot is going on. video/photo stuff needs a bit more by the design of the software. Not for the CPU. For your purpose was an i7 already more than enough. No need for a i9. So what if it is 2 seconds slower with an i7? Bother it? Listen to their sound.... More... Speed.... Buy.... Will be wonderful. BS. They want more money. Old tech like the 10 year old i7 was already a Highlight. Performance is with a i9 slightly better. What do they want? Users who will play state of the art games. Ha. Company's like AMD and Nvidia also targeting on the subject. Less CPU. More crazy 2048 (and more) GPU cores. If you want superior performance? Choose a product which make use of those GPU cores, More performance than a CPU...... And I am not kidding. A faster CPU won't help. A very good GPU takes it over. Invest in that. Software which makes use of the 2048 core GPU's? Blazing trails.... CPU's are a bit old school. 12 or more cores. Not easy. GPU's? 2048 cores and they keep up raising the numbers each day. At the end of the day? Focus more on your software and the use of a GPU. More speed is there to get. Forget the CPU power. You don't browse or email faster with a fast CPU. Just my 2 cents. GPU power will in the end over class any CPU. Future will be more ridiculous as we thought. New products with AI build in to it. Can predict scenes which we don't have experienced yet. Crazy stuff. Make use of your GPU. More performance with the right software brings you so much more performance than a fast CPU........

Also some mainboard seem to have loading times up to 30 second to windows. So the memory training take a lot of time. (this also based on mainboard) I dont have that either (10 second max). So when somebody go for amd make sure you pick the right mainboard. And dont pay 1.000 dollar for them... it is just silly.

@@mcrib2499 I think you may be right, and it could also be a batch based issue because I have seen people with my same motherboard achieve a consistent 6000Mhz without any issues

i did too, it seems to have sorted itself over time...

its ytour board not the ram , i had same issue with gigabyte b650 and i decided im done with gigabyte and bought the msi tomakawk b650 and literally not a single crash since i switched 9 months ago the gig board is absolute dogshit and caused all my memory timing issues to the point i would crash on every single restart. literally every single problem gone by switchng my motherboard to msi bottom line buy a quality MB DO NOT BUY GIGABYTE !!! LITERALLY THE WORST COMPANY IN THE GAMING SPACE

​@@fullsend_ny7948 Haha well said mate. I've long been done working with GigaShyte products. Some people still sing their praises.....

7800x3d has only one ccd, you shouldn't get those memory issues. have you tried other bios/mobo combos?

@@fullsend_ny7948 i think you may be right. 7800x3d shouldn't have issues like larger, two ccd, cpus.

@@sakatababa Well the AMD platform in general has its own set of issues with memory.

Would never touch Asus, Asrock, nasty boards. I have had trouble with intel n AMD,.

ASUS has become increasingly unreliable over the years and even more appalling is the fact that their support has completely gone down the tubes. ASUS isn't nearly the company they were 5 years ago. ASUS likely still makes some good system boards but I wouldn't chance buying one because ASUS support is vast becoming an oxymoron. GIGABYTE, on the other hand, has really stepped up to the plate over the years. It's almost as though they found ASUS old client policy list, hired the best hardware developers they could get, and followed ASUS old model. If they stick to what they are doing they're going to pass ASUS both in quality components and customer satisfaction.

Several years ago i switched to AM4 with a X570 Tomahawk and a R7 3700X and i choose an expensive G.Skill XMP 3600 CL15 Kit (aim was to tune the memory to its limits) and oh my i never got the system stable at XMP speeds for about 1,5years. Then i switched to an R9 5900X, changed to an PCIe 4 m.2 and to a RX 6800XT and suddenly the RAM and the system worked as if nothing had happened before. My BIOS was always up to date. But since then it worked like a charme. I am satisfied at last since i value efficiency over raw power. Anyways saw both sides in one system and yeah it can be really annoying.

@@scannerman777 That's interesting. I used to always go with gigabyte because they were solid for me, but for my 7950x3d build I went with a gigabyte aero g board and it was nothing but problems for months- constant blue screens and crashing. I swapped to an asus strix x670e-a board and it has not crashed once. After I was satisfied and increases the speeds of my ram, it did start taking longer to boot but no crashing or blue screens at all.

Which gigabyte mb did you use for your 7950x build?

I had a similar issue to your weird hiccups on my previous X570 system with 5700X. It turned out for me that the thing causing the weird hiccups including in audio was the fTPM implementation. Since I am still on Windows 10, I just disabled the module and the hiccups went away for me. I am guessing by this point that is fixed for the X570 board I have (sitting in the other room in the box. I have a friend who is going to build a newer pc for themselves with it when they come to visit from out of state) but I haven't been using it for a while now so I can't be certain. I would hope so, and hopefully it doesn't cause the same stutter issues in Windows 11.

So, i can't speak about Ryzen 7XXX But i've had 3900X and 5950X on ASUS Z570 PRO board. It was the single worst experience with hardware i've ever had. I strongly believe their BIOS team is either incompetent or are simply trolling. The number of times they've released BIOS that would bug out on any frequency above 3200 is ridiculous. Every 2nd BIOS update was straight up broken. I've switched to another brand since then and had 0 problems with same RAM and CPU. I've promised myself to avoid AMD+ASUS combo at all costs.

When I ran my 3800 before it also took 2 years before I could run full memory speed. So I just upgrade to 5800x3d

I just upgraded to a 5800x3d from a 3600 two weeks ago. I feel zero need to upgrade anytime soon

@@robo-ert5754it’s a good cpu no need to upgrade anytime soon

What Intel chip should I go with

12700k is awesome. Built my 1st gaming PC with a 12700k and it's been running like a champ without any issues.

Glad it wasn't just me. I went through about two years where I swear every windows update murdered my system. There was one it would try, it would murder it, it would roll it back then two weeks later it would try it again and I couldn't find a way to just disable updates. That laptop now has Linux Mint on it and sits next to me for emails and web browsing. Linux refuses to acknowledge the presence of my discreet laptop graphics card so its not all sunshine and roses but I don't play games on it anyway.

I'm using the same config myself actually. I'm also liquid cooling both in a FD Meshify 2.

I have ran both and always end up back on INTEL. My friend has the 5800x3d and has FPS drops, crashing, and other issues while we are playing the same game and im solid. It just depends on the game for x3d i guess as he is solid on other games.

that was ASUS fault 100% and they fix the issue with a BIOS update not CPU fault , i have a 7800x3d with a MSI MOBO b650 tomahack with corsair ram 6000CL30 AMD EXPO 6000mhz enable and PBO-30 no problems so far

Isn't x570e an AM4 chipset ? How does that work with the 7700x ?

@juandenz2008 Was a typo on my part, I fixed it, though.

You're the most insane person I've ever seen in the history of mankind, so you bought a 700$ motherboard for a 320$ cpu 🤦

If your plan was a 7950X3D, why on earth did you downgrade so far as the 7700? You could just do a 13900K or 14900K which both are cheaper and faster in all aspects. Add to that Intel definitely has a greater stability currently ASUS or no ASUS.

Tbf, I had a 12900k that had the same issue, once I upgraded to a 13900k I could actually get the advertised speeds. I don't think that this is just an AMD issue.

When did you buy your 5800x? Aka, is it an earlier model? I've seen and heard a lot of issues with AMD and ram when the AM5 platform was first released. In August, I upgraded to a 7800x3d, 7900xt, and 32gb 6000mhz, and experienced virtually no issues. However, I'm not doing extensive technical stuff like streaming, video encoding, and everything is air cooled and not overclocked. I mainly ask because it seems a lot of youtubers and early adopters seem to still be having issues, while new adopters don't. Sometimes small QA changes can have big impacts, like a different pcb supplier, or extra support somewhere, or adding an extra .01% nickel to your alloy.

SAME! I purchased a 5800X back in January of 2022 and I would just have random restarts where the system would just literally black screen and well... restart... changed RAM, Mobo, PSU and still same problem until I finally decided it might be the CPU. January of this year I purchased the 5800X3D and bam, no more random restarting... A wild problem that I never really expected to be a problem.

early stepping 5800x i take it? my launch 5800x was garbage. could barely do 5.7ghz static at like 1.35v the best clocking 8c16t Zen 3 i've ever had was actually a 5700x that did 5.05 - 5.075ghz PBO/CO on the two best cores and 4.85ghz static at 1.31v

I had a 5900x runing with a 3600 mhz 32gig kit that was specifically tuned for ryzen. I had zero issue runing DOCP for 2 years. Now, i have a 7600 with a 32gig kit at 6000mhz. I had one issue with the OC. It started to bluescreen on me. I just clear cmos and redo the OC and now it works like previously. Biosses are poop. If you change things left and right, especially if you use ryzen master, some settings will be bugged and you have to clear cmos.

Loved Phenom II! I still own Phenom II X6 1055T, and it has been the longest lasting CPU ever.

@@georgefoley9793 same cpu running 24/7 since 2011 it even mined Bitcoin back on the days on it, the last 1-2 years it started bit to slow with updated on o/s etc if you push it but for normal general non game usage or editing its fine but one of most success cpus after amd Athlon x2 - socket 939, after the release of Phenom 2 the failures came before the first Ryzen got released .and after ryzen came intel got stuck after the 6800k series until lately with over pumping same architecture and stupid +++ to catch up cause they need to change new fabs they might be ready around 2026

His issues are specific to the 7950X3D, not 3D in general. I don't understand why every commenter seems to have not actually watched the video. The 7800X3D has only one chiplet, so it doesn't need to park cores nor rely on Xbox Game Bar to identify game applications.

7700x and b550??

@@KenpachiAjax oops typo b650 🤦‍♂️

I feel Jay wanted an excuse to go back to Intel no matter what.

@@KingcoleIIV he didn't even try RMA an obvious IMC degradation fault lol. really not very experienced with PCs.

swapping cpu dont solve sorry

I'm positive he troubleshot, he talked about a ton of steps. AMD cuts corners, plain and simple and doesnt have the R/D for good drivers.

He should've swapped to the 7950X (non-3D) for 16 cores (32 threads) of all high-performance goodness. That's what I use, with the same motherboard as Jay and everything runs perfect, EXPO memory speeds as well.

It's obviously an IMC degradation issue which if he was more experienced, he would have RMA'd it. 2012 isn't very long in Computer terms lol.

@@1newme425 His electricity bill his money his choice.

You must be doing Cad or things of that nature to not have bought 7800X3D for gaming. It out does everything in most games and does it for about 50-80 watts than 500 watts or so of other chips that get beat by a 50- 80 Watt CPU with lower temps on top of it.

@@truthseeker6532The Ryzen 9 7950X will outlive the Ryzen 7 7800X3D in gaming because the X3D chips have clockspeed jitter problems and the 7950X has a lot of cores for fast shader compilation and smooth 1% lows if the game calls those cores for that. I own a Core i7-12700K and i don't have to worry about microstuttering or stuttering because of the smooth clocks and high core count.

5800x3d to a 7800x3d? What a worthless upgrade.

What kind of board did you get? Gigabyte typically is more flaky with memory

@@timothygibney159 MSI X670E Tomahawk

5200MHz is the native max the chip supports, but all RAM is run overclocked. You’re missing out on about 10% performance with 5200 as Ryzen is heavily speed dependent

nah really most application will barely noticeable difference​@@SpyderTracks

@@SpyderTracks GPU is usually the limiting factor and not RAM. If RAM is your limiting factor, you got a fkn problem. Losing 10% ram speed with DDR5 will never be felt unless you are building for blender or something like that. Or trying to run starfield. But why would you play that game is beyond me.

The latest AGESA fixed my slow boots, but I am impressed that you got 64GB working at 6000MHz. That's not supposed to be stable for anyone. Does it pass a memory test?

@@jondonnelly4831 I have stable 64GB (2x32GB) at 6000MHz CL30 with 7800X3D, slow boots fixed with setting called "Memory Context Restore" on Asus boards set from auto to enabled.

​@@jurajbalazi8581same for me. I got an Asus board as well and that's the setting I was talking about prior. It speeds up my post and boot time to about 15-20s with the expo running stable and all. Without it it's more like 60-80s, sometimes even longer. With my Intel before it was 3-4s post and boot max at times. I have no instabilities otherwise. MemTest86 returns no errors, prime95 can run full boar and my usual stuff of video renders, Animation and 3D modeling as well as the big panorama stitching I do all Mac out the 64GB of RAM and without any crashes. It's just the post and boot times that have become majorly annoying and no new Bios version has fixed that so far.

Update your bios.

@@lillen141 I did, it's up to date.

Anyone ignorant with an AMD component in their system will think the AMD component is at fault when stuff goes wrong. Their bad reputation is extremely undeserved. Idk what GPU you have but if it's AMD and you posted this on Reddit people would somehow blame the AMD GPU for it I swear.

​@@Altrop AMD 100% deserve their reputation.

@@Altropmy x570 platform hasn’t received a bios update since 2022. They absolutely deserve their reputation. Never touching an amd platform again.

sounds like a u problem

Running a 7800X3D since July with 2 sticks of 16GB of 6000MT/s in Dual Channel ... no problems whatsoever *shrug*

what made you upgrade from a 3700x to the 5700x before the 3dcpu ?

I been having issues with my pc but then yesterday pc just BSOD running 7900x with 4080 strix and when i tried to boot back up code 15 over and over few more boots and it booted fine i just unplugged my monitor from gpu and it was fine, im defo going back intel with my next rig considering i have a budget of 10k for my next rig im just going all out and getting whatever i want

what is your motherboard? give INFORMATION
