Hey all,

This is my build that I built in summer 2024

CPU: 14900k
GPU: MSI RTX 4080 super slim
Mother board: Asus ROG strix z790a gaming WiFi II
Cooling: Artic liquid freezer 3 360 AIO
CASE: Antec C8
Fans: Lian li uni sl infinity fans
I have 3 intake fans from the side and 3 intake at the bottom.
I have one rear outlet fan
And AIO mounted at the top and it also has 3 Lian li fans that I changed out. Pushing air out.

I have 2 questions:

I never updated my BIOS since I built my PC for the new intel code for the Vmin shift issue. I never had any crashes or freezes or anything in any games. I played COD BF6, msfs24 forza horizon 5 and 6.

Only crashes I had where in farming sim 25 but I’m 100% sure it was because of some mods. Because if I loaded any other saved games It never crashed. Only crashed when I load that specific saved game.
I did stress test and everything. I updated my BIOS a week ago.

Is my CPU cooked? Is there away to know if there’s any permanent damage or anything ?

My second question is. After I updated my BIOS now when I play BF6 my CPU temp seems to be higher than previously. Previously it used to be between 70-80C now it goes to 90C sometimes 95 my cpu usage on the game remain around 30-40%. BIOS has intel default restriction thing on.

My Idel temp are now also a bit higher. Went from 25-37 to 35-45.

GPU Temps seem to be about the same.

How do I know what is causing this temp hike ? I never saw my CPU Temps get up to 90C even when stress testing it to the Max.

G’day gents, I was trying to compare cpu performances, but I don’t know what site I should use. Any help is appreciated.

currently just browsing with 5 tabs open.

Temps got my attention while I was playing transport fever 3, cpu was maxed out and at 94-95 degrees.

Hoje de madrugada estava navegando pelo evento do 10.10 na shoppe, mercado livre e etc, quando achei uma promoção do ryzen 5 5500 por 389 reais, comprei ele mais um controle de ps5, hoje após acordar vi uma promoção do ryzen 7 5700x por 798 reais que era exatamente a quantia que eu tinha disponível pra uso, minha pergunta é se eu fiz um bom negócio ao comprar o ryzen 5 5500 + controle de ps5, ou se teria sido muito melhor ter comprado o controle.

I’m looking to replace my current desktop and I’m stuck between going AM5 with something like a Ryzen 9 9950X3D, or staying Intel with a Core Ultra 9 platform.
I’m not looking for a pure gaming build and I’m not trying to chase benchmark numbers for the sake of it. This is my main PC and I use it every day for both work and gaming, so reliability and day-to-day behaviour matter a lot to me.

Current system
Intel i9-9900K
Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Ultra
32GB DDR4
RTX 5070
1440p 180Hz monitor

The current machine has been extremely stable. One thing I particularly like is that it boots very quickly and basically never gives me trouble. I don’t want to spend A$3k+ on a replacement and then deal with random memory issues, long POST times, BIOS problems, sleep/wake problems, USB weirdness, or having to tune voltages/settings just to make it reliable.

What happens to the current PC
The 9900K/Z390/32GB system will become a home server/NAS rather than being sold.
None of the current CPU/platform needs to carry over to the new desktop except the RTX 5070 which will move to the new PC.

New PC budget
Roughly A$3,000–3,500 excluding the GPU.
I’m happy to spend less if there’s no real benefit to using the full budget.
I’ll probably aim for 64GB RAM if Australian DDR5 pricing allows it, otherwise 32GB initially.

My actual workload
Productivity probably edges gaming slightly. Some of these workloads will move to the old PC, however, I see me doing a lot of these on the new machine too.
On the productivity side:
- software/web development
- IDEs
- lots of browser tabs/apps simultaneously
- WSL / Docker
- local development databases
- AI coding tools
- general heavy multitasking
- occasional photo/video/media work
I’m not doing professional 3D rendering all day, but I do want plenty of CPU headroom and I tend to keep machines for a long time.

Gaming is still important. I have an RTX 5070 and play at 1440p / up to 180Hz. If a new AAA game comes out, I want to be able to run it at high/ultra settings without feeling like I built a workstation that happens to be bad at games.

The two directions I’m considering

AMD
Ryzen 9 9950X3D
X870 / X870E motherboard, probably Gigabyte
32GB/64GB DDR5
Potential advantages as I see them:
- excellent gaming performance
- strong multi-core productivity performance
- AM5 upgrade path
- lower gaming power consumption
- arguably the best compromise between workstation and gaming performance

What concerns me:
- AM5 memory training / POST behaviour
- EXPO stability
- BIOS/AGESA dependence
- sleep/wake quirks
- reports of people needing to tweak RAM or BIOS settings
- dual-CCD scheduling/core parking on the 9950X3D

I know a lot of these issues may be historical or exaggerated, which is exactly why I’m asking people actually running these systems now.

Intel
Core Ultra 9 platform
Z890 motherboard, likely Gigabyte
32GB/64GB DDR5

Potential advantages as I see them:
- strong productivity performance
- Quick Sync
- lots of cores for multitasking
- I’m familiar with Intel platforms and have had excellent stability from my current system
- potentially less concern around AM5-style memory training/EXPO quirks

Downsides:
- weaker gaming performance than the X3D CPUs
- less attractive platform longevity
- higher-end Intel doesn’t appear to clearly beat the 9950X3D in the workloads that matter to me

What I actually want to know
I’m particularly interested in answers from people who have actually owned or built recent AM5/X870 systems and/or Core Ultra/Z890 systems, not just people repeating benchmark charts.

Specifically:
- If you use AM5 daily for work, is it genuinely stable now?
- Are long memory-training boots still a real everyday problem, or mostly a first-boot/BIOS-change thing?
- Is EXPO at something sensible like DDR5-6000 generally set-and-forget with 2 DIMMs?
- Have you experienced sleep/wake, USB, networking, Bluetooth or random WHEA issues?
- For people with a 9950X3D, have the dual-CCD/game scheduling issues actually caused problems in real use?

For Core Ultra 9 owners, has the platform been genuinely more trouble-free, or is that assumption outdated?
Given that productivity is slightly more important to me than gaming, would you still choose the 9950X3D?

If you had A$3–3.5k excluding GPU and intended to keep the machine for 5+ years, which platform would you choose?
I’m not opposed to AMD. I’m trying to separate genuine current platform problems from old AMD reputation.
My main requirement is simple: fast, powerful and boringly reliable. I don’t mind spending money on good components. I do mind spending money on something that turns into a recurring troubleshooting project.

Hi, it's my first time using reddit (I often just watch videos on youtube from various known tech youtubers and learn from there) but I need more oppinions on this matter because I'm having a hard time picking out my cpu.

In this thread I wanna ask what's more worth for a first buy going from am4 to am5~

For context I'll mainly use it for gaming and mostly for rust (for those who dont know about it, rust is a heavy cpu dependent game known for its horrible optimization and need of a really strong cpu). I wanna pair it up with my RTX 4070 super and 32 gb's of ddr5 cl30 and use it to play in 1440p
I first thought about buying a 9800x3d but later found out about the 9850x3d (roughly 6% better performance, slightly lower temp and basically same power usage) for only 25-30 ish dollar difference, now what I want to ask about is if its even worth going for the 9800 x3d series or should i just buy a 7800x3d. I didn't really want to go for the 7800x3d because I didn't want to cheap out on the cpu and think "oh I would've had way better performance on a 9800 if i paid a little more" (not that big of a price difference between them considering you are building a crazy fast pc with a lot of really expensive parts).

I’m not sure what these even are it was left at my apartment years ago but I heard they’re good I never even opened them. geoforce rtx 2070

NEVER TAKEN OUT OF THE BOX
