Steve gets saltier every time he has to explain why he's testing in 1080p 😂
-
Factorio would be an interesting benchmark. Because according to the devs, they are actually mainly slowed down by ram speed. Especially on high SPM bases the RAM speed gets more important.
-
Hey, so while AMD guarantees DDR5200 when you use 2 dimms in a 4 slot board, Intel is saying that 5600 is only officially supported in boards that have 2 memory slots TOTAL. If you have 4 slots ROUTED intel only guarantees the much lower DDR5 figures. This may be important for those seeking RMAs. Has AMD had the better memory speed guarantee this whole time?
-
Displaying the percentage difference on the screen in the context is very much appreciated. I sometimes struggle processing numbers in speech, so this helps immensely. Thank you very much for incorporating this in the video!

Cuz of your and GNs videos, a while back I decided to sell my older 12600k rig and swap over to a 7800X3D on AM5, rather than upgrading to 13th or "14th" gen. Couldn't be happier with that decision. Cheers! Love your & Tim's content 😀
-
First thing you should do on a PC build is download the latest drivers on your Thermal Paste.
-
Nothing gets my frequency higher than scissoring RAM DIMMs.
-
Steve not only sat down again, but also had to hide behind the b-roll while explaining the 1080p testing methodology. I totally get it. I'm wondering about the possible inclusion of 5800x3D in the results though.
-
updating the BASS
-
wake me when the 9000 series x3d chips release
-
Another reason why the 7800x3d is the go to CPU for gaming.
-
this is a gem of a youtube channel and the information you share is extremely well explained in clear language- easy to understand. great channel. always really good uploads.
-
Great video. I hope you do an update with the new CPUs and higher memory speed support and whether it's more/less impactful there. Thanks.
-
I enjoyed the animated arrow at about 2:40 - for some reason it put a smile on my face.
-
Been loving the ram videos lately. Now we need a 5000mhz ddr4 vs 5000mhz ddr5 video.
-
Testing at supported JEDEC memory standards really showcases the benefit of 3D v-cache, assetto corsa had a 64% uplift from the 7700X@JEDEC to the 7800X3D@JEDEC. Running at JEDEC is the proper way to test CPUs at their stock configuration.
-
I always make sure to get the sweetspot/highest speed and tightest timing recommended, it's not that expensive.
-
Great content, but I wish there was more kits like the 6000 CL36 stuff. I would like to know what are exactly the key factors and were is the point of diminishing return.
-
Good video as always. Thanks.
-
I appreciate! that you add the ACC! To your tests. Thank you for that!👍👍👍
