95c and that power draw are a skip 7000 series for me. I think a used 5950x will be the sweet spot soon.

- bryanlarsen 4y agoAccording to other reviews, the 7000 series destroys the competition (both Intel and 5000 series) at 65W. Also, 7000 series is designed for 95C. It'll run forever at 95C, and will always run at 95C if it has the workload and power budget. IOW, giving it more cooling will cause it to run faster rather than making it cooler. On other chips 95C might indicate it's on the edge of failure, but AMD asserts that 95C won't shorten the 7000's life.
- bearjaws 4y agoRyzen scales up exponentially in power draw as you try to hit peak frequency numbers. You can run it at 95% speed and usually something like 70% voltage. My 3900x can do around 4.5ghz at 1.4v or 4.3ghz at 1.05v all core. I imagine Zen 4 will be exactly the same. Don't have the power draw off the top of my head, but that is essentially 125w for 4.5ghz and 90w for 4.3ghz.
- blibble 4y agofor FETs the power draw on voltage is quadratic (not exponential)
- mhh__ 4y agoIt's not going to get any better, you can thermal throttle it if needs be.
