PC Processors

Need some help here,

I just received my 9950x3d. I have tried everything to get this thing to park CCD1. I assume CCD0 is the VCACHE CCD.

Here’s the details:

Motherboard: MSI Meg Ace x670e
Windows 11
Newest bios and chipset drivers 
Temps are running below 70 and voltage is fine.
One previous cpu (7950x)

I’ve tried:

Ensuring game mode is on and game bar is updated.

Uninstalled chipset drivers twice with revo and without revo.

Ensured that core optimizer service is running every time

Cleared CMOS and reflashed bios.

Made sure that CPPC is on driver in the bios, then alternatively switched back to auto.

Reinstalled windows with windows update as to not lose ALL my data.

Ran revo to clear useless registry entries

Tried multiple games

Ran bios on stock settings with no expo or anything.

Windows Power Mode set to Balanced.

Side note all monitoring is being done with Ryzen Master and cinebench runs both cores fully. No issues with utilizing both cores.

The only thing I have not done is run a game idle for 15 minutes.i don’t see how that can help…. But will try tonight.

For reference, in game both cores run at more than 50% on average. I know one core will never fully sleep, so I’m not nitpicking over a little blip in processor activity here and there. As mentioned previously, CCD1 seems to be the dominant side.

Any other suggestions?

I am having a similar problem on an MSI x870e Godlike, RTX 4090 FE, most current BIOS, QVM memory, etc. The system worked flawlessly on a 9950x prior to installing the 9950x3D

Symptoms:

Fame Rates ridiculously low, even though game bar reports 100% GPU utilization.   

Sound is distorted and breaks up badly, the odd drop out of windows directly to reboot.  I get very significant sound distortion / break up whenever I try to play a game or videos (also happens with YouTube and Steam Discovery Que)

In MMO's the internet latency gets very high exceeding normal levels by up to 15X

In nontrivial workloads Outlook, Browsing etc. system seems fine but does exhibit "stuttering" or slowdowns. mouse lags OR jagged window moves for instance. but  "workable"

No parking as stated above.

I have done similar to the above including:

All drivers updated

3 separate clean installs of windows 11, the last one on a wiped partition

Removed all non-essential USB devices except kb and mouse

Removed all sound devices, then tried sound devices 1 at a time -> Nvidia sound driver (failed), on board realtek HD (failed), USB Steelseries headset (failed)

Followed the same steps as you in your post.

I also would appreciate any recommendations on how to address this. I am quite frustrated.  This is the 4th day of grinding to resolve this.

I have an MSI suprim 4090 and my benchmarks have been lackluster and sputtery as well. Now I’ll have to try my audio. Maybe I also have crackling. I did have a wifi issue once I cleared the CMOS and I had to uninstall and reinstall my networking drivers again. Also had weird intermittent startup issues since upgrading come to think of it.

Tonight I’m going to try removing chipset drivers with revo again and install MSI sourced chipset drivers again. Then try reflashing bios to an old version and reflash to the new one.

I’m beginning to think that MSI needs to release a non beta version of their 9950x3d bios and update chipset drivers. I think the MSI site ones are from January. 

I have not heard any other mobo manufacturers having issues. Just an MSI carbon and now your Godlike. 

I will update once I have a chance to try some things later.
