I Killed My 7800X3D...

It still baffles me that neither AMD nor Intel sell 'naked' CPU's with no heatspreader for enthusiasts. Remember when AMD's Athlon XP series were just exposed CPU's on the die? I'd love to not worry about killing a CPU from de-lidding. They could even upcharge for the 'enthusiast' CPU's while saving money on solder and a heatspreader and enthusiasts would flock to buy them. The companies could even bin the CPU's to ensure max performance and clock speeds. Much like Silicon Lottery used to do as a third party.

There's no point in de-lidding and then putting the lid back on with liquid metal because it was soldered to begin with.

Damn rip to the first cpu it happens tho didn’t expect it to go south but hey shoutout for still giving us some really great content.

I'm glad to see the de-;id didnt seperate the cache die or the inactive spacer silicon from the compute die, that was my main worry, and thanks for all your FAFOing, its entertaining.

Hey FC, thanks for doing the video, I actually delidded two 7950x & 7950x3d already with no issues. Maybe that 7800x3d with only 1 ccd has problem with pressure dispersion and that is why it cracked. I even mounted a Noctua NH-D15 on the 7950x.. Also, just noticed you have the Gene board, good choice :)

Awesome videos. Best way to lower the temp is pbo2 tuning and turn the max temp down in the bios. It'll help boost also. I know you're probably comparing stock to stock

Love the videos. I Appreciate the effort you put into them

Great testing. Thank you for the test. and thanks to the supporters!

Hey! How do you lock the CPU speed? My 7950x3d fluctuated a LOT, and would really appreciate learning how you did that :)

Many years ago, the difference between modding and stock - depending on X,Y,Z was often large. That remains the case today, but in some cases, and this is one - its interesting to see that the vendor has what is a hard to mod piece of engineering, and yet, its good out of the gate, and close to its maximum in a general sense.

Thank you for your work and the sacrifice of one 7800X3D. AMD has to figure out how to cool the heat trapped under the 3D V-Cache and structural silicon to increase clock speeds or focus only on IPC improvements for next gen.

Commenting for the algorithm to help you financially for the cost of this video

For a sec I thought it was double dye CPU and Debauer removed a whole CCD 😂😂, "yea, good job Debauer"

If my 12700K has a constant 8-10°C delta using an AIO, would it benefit from lapping the IHS in this area? Diff paste, repaste, contact frame, and still there consistently from idle to heavy load. Not causing any issues, just bothers my OCD 😅

He fucked around....and found out 🤣 Thanks again to the supporters of an actual hardware enthusiast

Good stuff, my man. I'm really just commenting for the algo, but I do appreciate the work you do here.

Thank you for your honesty the 7800x3d is a really good gaming cpu and not for overclocking. Its already running on limit and i wouldnt recommend anyone to touch the settings. But slight undervolting could help for better thermals and powersavings.

The idea of trying the 20 games in the next video sounds good.

I wonder is Msi Kombo strike is a thing for this cpu like it is for the 5800X3D. It doesn’t really add much performance but it does lower temperatures and power consumption.

Imagine if they made a Ryzen 11 7990X3D, but instead of 3D stacked cache on top of the die, they put 512MB of L4 cache on top of the IO die
