AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Stock, Precision Boost Overdrive and AutoOC: Stock Cooler vs AIO Ft. Kraken X73 (PROACTIVE)edit
A couple of days back, we analyzed the clock scaling and resultant performance boost that the 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs get with Precision Boost Overdrive and AutoOC. While the Ryzen 5 and 7 parts reacted fairly well to it, the Ryzen 9 choked pretty hard. The temps rose as high as 90+ degrees, and the clocks throttled back to worse-than-stock figures. In this post, we test the Ryzen 9 3900X once again using an NZXT Kraken X73 and analyze if there’s a notable difference in performance. Let’s get to it!

Intel Patching its ‘Zombieload’ CPU Security Flaw for the Third Timeedit
Intel has announced that it is going to release another software update for its processors designed to fix two more flaws that it calls microarchitectural data sampling (MSD) or ‘zombieload.’ The company said that the update is expected in the coming weeks and would resolve issues, which have possibly persisted even after Intel released MDS patches in May and November last year. According to MDS attack, neither of the two “new” RIDL/MDS variants is “novel or interesting” and they are “more RIDL” (focusing on ways to get data into microarchitectural buffers RIDL can leak from). RIDL is Rogue In-Flight Data Load.

ASUS TUF Gaming GT501 Case reviewedit
ASUS is certainly known for their prowess in building great PC components and even finished laptops and desktop machines. This new foray into the chassis category seems to be off on a great start as the TUF Gaming GT501 is not only a feature-laden and well-built case but it’s also very adept at keeping temperatures on the lower side. Given it’s massive size, the latter seems to be given. At Rs.13,999 the case isn’t exorbitantly priced and is competitive in the Indian market. All its lacking is a digital component for monitoring metrics but ASUS’s motherboards are more than capable of compensating for that.
