Today the reviews of the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series have begun to appear, and as part of this, some creators have taken the opportunity to even play with the limits of these processors. For our part, here you can read our reviews of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 7 7700Xin addition to the review of the motherboard used for testing.
However, as we can see on Der8auer’s YouTube channel, these chips seem to hide some improvement in their new IHS, and that is that these chips may have somewhat poor heat transfer between the chiplets and the cooling system.
As we see in the video on these lines, You can see a reduction in temperatures that exceeds 20 degreessomething that also translates into a reduction in the power used by the processor -a common and normal phenomenon in semiconductors- and, therefore, greater margin to overclock.
For now it is unknown if it is only a heat transfer problem, or if the IHS of the new AMD Ryzen 7000 Series really have flatness problems in their upper part, so we will have to be attentive to future developments on this front, such as new delid kits, or directly kits to run these chips without IHS.
