First tests:
Here’s the configuration that will be used to test this ROG STRIX B850-E Gaming WiFi. For the publication of these tests, I’ve used the latest BIOS, even though it’s a beta version. In the coming weeks, we’ll also be bringing you several overclocking guides for your processor and memory kit. We’ve decided to use the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which we think is a very interesting processor to match this platform with the B850 chipset. This will also allow us to test the power supply stages in overclocking mode. As far as the memory kit is concerned, we’ll be using the latest G.SKILL kit, the Trident Z5 NEO RGB 6000 MT/s CL26, which has excellent overclocking potential!

Test with Ryzen 7 9800X3D :
As we begin this first series of tests, we can’t do without thinking about the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and its operating frequencies. It reached a frequency of 5045 MHz on single-core tasks. With our Ryzen 7 9800X3D, a frequency of 5225 MHz is reached on core #2, which works alternately with core #4.
As far as multi-core tasks are concerned, when the 8 cores of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D were called upon, the frequency varied between 4850 and 4875 MHz. Here, the 8 cores of our Ryzen 7 9800X3D reach frequencies of 5225 MHz!
So we can actually see that frequencies have improved, whether on single-core or multi-core tasks. Now that we know that our Ryzen 7 9800X3D is fully operational, let’s move on to some overclocking tests. The frequencies obtained are exactly the same as on the Crosshair X870E HERO.
