It’s nearly unimaginable to reward the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D extremely sufficient, with the superb efficiency of the corporate’s newest gaming CPU. Nevertheless, technically it’s nonetheless a chip that trails the Intel Core i9 14900K in terms of uncooked clock velocity, at the least that was the case till Asus China’s normal supervisor, Tony Yu, bought his palms on one and achieved an unbelievable AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D overclock.
With assist from liquid nitrogen (LN2), Tony Yu managed to chill the perfect gaming CPU you should buy all the way down to round -190°C (-321°F), exhibiting gthat the brand new AMD chip might be overclocked to an enormous 6.9GHz and nonetheless run Counter-Strike 2 stably. Not that it is advisable to run the chip at these speeds to get wonderful efficiency, as our AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D evaluate reveals.
What’s extra, at that unbelievable clock velocity, the CPU allowed CS2 to run at in extra of 1,500fps, demonstrated on this video on Chinese language web site Bilibili. Even when it’s not overclocked, the chip can nonetheless recover from 900fps, however 1,500fps is a barely mindboggling quantity. Not less than when 1,000Hz shows take over from 540Hz gaming displays, we’ll have chips that may ship the products to them.
What’s extra, the 9800X3D did this whereas consuming simply 104W of energy, and regardless of being equipped with an extremely excessive voltage of two.25V – the traditional working voltage of the chip is round 1.2V. It achieves this partly as a result of working CPUs at these extremely low temperatures makes them inherently extra environment friendly (which is why super-conducting merchandise have a tendency to wish cryogenic cooling), but additionally as a result of that is an inherently environment friendly chip anyway. Underneath regular load it solely consumes round 80W enjoying CS2, which compares to 140W for the Intel Core i9 14900K.
In fact, working a gaming CPU at cryogenic temperatures isn’t sensible for any type of longer-term use, not to mention if you happen to’re attempting to accommodate your CPU in probably the greatest PC case choices round. Nevertheless, if you happen to’re in any respect into experimenting, it reveals the 9800X3D has some potential for enjoyable.
Additionally, the chip might be overclocked to a point with out unique cooling. We’re nonetheless experimenting with our personal overclocking outcomes, however websites reminiscent of Club386 report simply reaching 5.4GHz when working the chip at simply 1.22V.
Should you’re trying to seize a cooler that’s going to be an important match in your new CPU, take a look at our greatest CPU cooler information, which has a variety of decisions that may simply maintain the 9800X3D in examine.
