Itβs virtually unimaginable to reward the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D extremely sufficient, with the superb efficiency of the corporateβs newest gaming CPU. Nevertheless, technically itβs nonetheless a chip that trails the Intel Core i9 14900K in the case of uncooked clock pace, a minimum of that was the case till Asus Chinaβs common supervisor, Tony Yu, acquired his fingers on one and achieved an unimaginable AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D overclock.
With assist from liquid nitrogen (LN2), Tony Yu managed to chill the perfect gaming CPU you should purchase all the way down to round -190Β°C (-321Β°F), exhibiting gthat the brand new AMD chip will be overclocked to an enormous 6.9GHz and nonetheless run Counter-Strike 2 stably. Not that you’ll want to run the chip at these speeds to get superb efficiency, as our AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D assessment reveals.
Whatβs extra, at that unimaginable clock pace, the CPU allowed CS2 to run at in extra of 1,500fps, demonstrated on this video on Chinese language web site Bilibili. Even when itβs not overclocked, the chip can nonetheless recover from 900fps, however 1,500fps is a barely mindboggling quantity. A minimum of when 1,000Hz shows take over from 540Hz gaming screens, weβll have chips that may ship the products to them.
Whatβs extra, the 9800X3D did this whereas consuming simply 104W of energy, and regardless of being provided with an extremely excessive voltage of two.25V β the conventional working voltage of the chip is round 1.2V. It achieves this partly as a result of operating 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. Beneath regular load it solely consumes round 80W taking part in CS2, which compares to 140W for the Intel Core i9 14900K.
After all, operating a gaming CPU at cryogenic temperatures isnβt sensible for any type of longer-term use, not to mention in case youβre making an attempt to deal with your CPU in probably the greatest PC case choices round. Nevertheless, in case youβre in any respect into experimenting, it reveals the 9800X3D has some potential for enjoyable.
Additionally, the chip will be overclocked to some extent with out unique cooling. Weβre nonetheless experimenting with our personal overclocking outcomes, however websites akin to Club386 report simply attaining 5.4GHz when operating the chip at simply 1.22V.
When youβre seeking to seize a cooler thatβs going to be an important match in your new CPU, take a look at our greatest CPU cooler information, which has a variety of selections that may simply maintain the 9800X3D in test.
