Forget water cooling, this guy just cooled an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming CPU by spraying coolant directly onto it, and you need to see it in action

Master overclocker Roman "Der8auer" Hartung has demonstrated a spray cooling technique for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which involves applying coolant directly to the CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS). This method, a variant of phase-change cooling, allows the coolant to transition from liquid to gas upon contact with the heated CPU, effectively removing thermal energy. Der8auer used 3M Novec 7000 coolant, which has a boiling point of 34°C, although it will be banned in the EU later this year. The experiment consumed approximately 500ml of coolant in 15 minutes, maintaining CPU temperatures between 60-70°C during light workloads and completing the Cinebench multi-core test.

I just retested the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, and it’s no longer a complete lemon

Intel's Arrow Lake gaming CPU lineup, specifically the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, has improved significantly since its initial release at the end of 2024. Updates including BIOS enhancements, driver updates, and the introduction of the 200S Boost mode have contributed to its better performance. In Cinebench, the single-threaded score increased from 117 to 136, surpassing the Core i9 14900K, and reached 138 with 200S Boost. Multi-core performance improved from 1,995 to 2,045, and with 200S Boost, it reached 2,056, positioning it ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. The CPU maintained a maximum temperature of 78°C during testing. In gaming benchmarks, Total War: Warhammer III showed an average of 220fps and a minimum of 182fps, outperforming all AMD X3D CPUs. In the Mirrors of Madness benchmark, it averaged 119fps, trailing behind the latest Zen 5 X3D CPUs but outpacing the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. In Cyberpunk 2077, the 265K improved from 117fps to 124fps, closing the gap with the Core i5 14600K. In Far Cry 6, the average frame rate improved from 157fps to 164fps, reaching 166fps with 200S Boost. In F1 24, it remained only 6fps behind the X3D chips. Overall, while the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is still considered superior for gaming, the 265K has become a competitive option, especially if priced favorably.

Intel just hinted that its new CPUs will beat AMD, with “leadership across the board on desktop”

Intel is preparing to launch its Nova Lake processors, which John Pitzer, the corporate vice president of corporate planning and investor relations, believes could secure a leadership position in the desktop CPU market. Anticipated features include a 52-core CPU and a 3D V-cache equivalent, potentially allowing Intel to compete directly with AMD's X3D CPUs by 2027. Currently, Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs have received poor reviews, prompting a mid-cycle refresh to improve competitiveness. Pitzer noted that Intel still powers seven out of ten PCs shipped but acknowledged challenges in gaming performance, particularly in multi-threading. He remains optimistic about single-threaded performance improvements. For those considering upgrades, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is highlighted as a top choice for gaming.
