Pro overclocker bricks AMD’s best gaming chip without really trying

March 20, 2023 by www.pcgamer.com Leave a Comment

Seems like it might be surprisingly easy to brick one of AMD’s best gaming CPUs, even if you’re a professional overclocking YouTuber. The world now has one less AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D (opens in new tab) after a slight voltage tweak above just 1.35V.

Roman Hartung, aka der8auer, recently took a trip to Taiwan to visit the Asus testing labs. There he decided to put some CPUs to the test but, as it turns out, even when it comes to enthusiast grade CPUs such as the latest X3D chip the old saying stands: Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Actually, with AMD’s finest gaming chip, it seems you really really shouldn’t.

One of the great things about AMD’s Ryzen 7000-series CPUs (opens in new tab) , is that it’s been made super easy to overclock in Windows using PBO 2 and Curve Optimizer. There still remains the option to overclock your chip in the BIOS, however, where you may be presented with the option to push the voltage all the way up to 2.5V. Eep.

So, alongside some other testing, Hartung set about pushing the voltages of a Ryzen 9 7950X3D Asus had lent him. Much to his dismay, all did not go to plan (opens in new tab) (via HardwareLuxx (opens in new tab) ).

He first tested the waters by babystepping the voltage up to 1.35V. And while it was necessary to run and grab a liquid nitrogen cooler to keep it between 85°C and 90°C, Hartung still decided to push things further.

He saw the danger, and he did it anyway.

The moment the CPU hit 1.5V, everything went out the window. The motherboard threw up a 00 error code, and despite his best efforts, sadly it looked like nothing could be done to save the CPU.

It was clear the Ryzen 9 7950X3D had been fried even before the CPU came under load. And while Hartung himself admits it could just be bad luck on his part, since not many extreme tests have come out for AMD’s new super high-end addition to the Ryzen family, HardwareLuxx has issued a warning to users in case anyone decides to push the voltage just because the option is there.

He has spoken to both AMD and Asus and been told the chips weren’t intended to be allowed to run with such a high VCore rating. He also says that “Asus will probably limit the max manual voltage to 1.35V,” which will likely be done via BIOS updates.

During his trip, Hartung also had a chance to check out the $6,000 Intel Xeon W9 3495X chip. We’ve already reported on der8auer showing off the 56-core Intel chip (opens in new tab) at stock speeds of 4.2GHz at home, but he was confident then he could push it further in Asus’ labs.

“I actually thought that 4.4GHz or 4.5GHz should be totally easy, but that was not the case”, says Hartung about the Sapphire Rapids CPU (machine translated). That said, he did manage to beat 4.7GHz on all 56 cores despite several crashes in Cinebench R23 owing to issues with the input voltage. That translated to around 114,000 points, and really shows what these enthusiast CPUs are capable of when paired with just an AIO watercooler.

With a liquid nitrogen cooling solution, Hartung was able to push the CPU up to 2.5GHz and achieve a smashing 125,000 points in Cinebench R23—a new record, in fact.

Red team enthusiasts may be disappointed that they’re not going to be able to push their CPU voltages up to those kinds of heights, but at least we can rest assured that BIOS are likely to be updated to stop folk going beyond 1.35V. No one wants to find out they’ve accidentally fried their monster CPU in a flight of overvolting fancy.

Only you can prevent CPU fires.

On Suryakumar Yadav’s ODI Form, India Star’s Bold “Non-Negotiable” Verdict | Cricket News

March 20, 2023 by sports.ndtv.com Leave a Comment

The second ODI between India and Australia turned out to be yet another disappointing show from Suryakumar Yadav as the star batter once again got dismissed for a golden duck. In both the matches, it was pacer Mitchell Starc , who got the precious wicket of Surya on the very first delivery. As the powerful T20I batter failed to open his run-tally in both matches, some questions have been raised regarding his spot in the team for the upcoming ODI World Cup. However, veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik backed Suryakumar and came up with an interesting suggestion for the Team management regarding him.

Karthik stated that Suryakumar can be used at the No.6 position as he showcases a different style of batting when he is given limited overs to perform.

“He would have gotten out on those two deliveries even in T20s. It is not that because it is ODIs, he is getting out. This is high-quality bowling irrespective of the format. He played the two ODIs now and prior to that he didn’t play consistently. Shreyas Iyer was the preferred No.4 and rightfully so and Surya was the back-up option. Where we need to be with Surya is to remind ourselves of the talent he is,” said Karthik on Cricbuzz .

“What I like to see is can they fit in Surya at a different place to get the best out of him. I feel, Hardik enjoys batting up top so is there a possibility of sending him at No.4 and Surya at six. It is so because when you give him 15-18 overs, the way he is able to turn the game on its head is very very good. And irrespective of whether there are 5 or 4 fielders inside the circle he is able to hit boundaries at will and make a mockery out of the captain. When you give Surya lesser overs, 14-18 overs, he is at his venomous best. Suryakumar in ODIs is a non-negotiable.”

Coming to the second ODI, Mitchell Starc’s 5-53 and a blazing 66 by Mitchell Marsh helped Australia demolish India by 10 wickets, to level the series at 1-1 on Sunday.

“Give Sanju Samson A Chance”: Ex-India Batter On Suryakumar Yadav’s ODI Struggles | Cricket News

March 20, 2023 by sports.ndtv.com Leave a Comment

Team India faced a big defeat against Australia in the second ODI as the Steve Smith-led side crushed them by 10 wickets. There was not a single moment in the entire match where the momentum was in the favour of the hosts. Batter Suryakumar Yadav turned out to be unluckiest as he got out for a golden duck once again. The ruthless T20I batter fell prey to Mitchell Starc ‘s blistering pace, who trapped Suryakumar in front of the stumps in both the ODIs. After back-to-back failures, the reliable Suryakumar’s position in the team is in jeopardy as many cricket experts are raising questions over his stance in the ODI format.

Former India batter Wasim Jaffer stated that the management can think about wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson in the place of Suryakumar for the third and final ODI against Australia.

“We might sympathize with Suryakumar Yadav as the first ball that he faced was of 145 clicks. No doubt that it’s challenging when a left-arm seamer tries to bring the ball back in. Again, he should have anticipated that when Mitchell Starc bowls, he will attack the stumps and might swing the ball,” Jaffer said on ESPNCricinfo.

“We have to see if the management sticks with him in the third ODI otherwise it’s not a bad option to give Sanju Samson a chance because he has played well when given the opportunity and he is a good player,” he added.

Sanju played his last game for India during the T20I series against Sri Lanka in January this year, where he sustained an injury during the second match of the series.
