If you plan on using more than one graphics card you’ll want to go with an even larger PSU. We would recommend an 850W power supply as the base model to go with if you plan on building a system with the 9980XE and want to do overclocking with it. Overclocking will yield huge performance boost on this platform, but you’ll want to make sure that you have a beefy power supply to handle the load.

This systems idles at 101 Watts, so just running the CPU at full load is pulling over 650 Watts from the wall. The power consumption in Cinebench R15 went from 364 Watts on the 9980XE in stock form to 658 Watts with the overclock. Benchmarks with all cores set to 4600MHz were impressive as we went from around 3750 to 4500 on the Cinebench CPU test that uses all available cores. Overclocking the 9980XE on the ASUS PRIME X299 Deluxe-II motherboard was simple and we were able to get it up to 4600MHz.
Running loops of the multi-core CPU test in Cinebench R15 for 5 minutes we noticed that the temperatures on the cores reached up to 57C according to HWiNFO64. We ran the AIDA64 system stability test and found that the CPU temperature sensor was showing 29C at idle and reached up to 43C at load.ĪIDA64 puts the CPU load at about 95% and the clock speed was showing up as being 2.9GHz while the stress test was being run. The Intel Core i9-9980XE used the most power of any processor on these tests, but we expected it to use the most of any Intel processor since it has the more cores and highest frequency of the bunch. The idle and handbrake numbers above are using the Creator mode, but the Far Cry 5 numbers are in Game mode. Memory voltage is 1.65V which is already standard for most DDR3-2400+ RAM. Worth noting is the Command Rate being set to 1T even though it’s high density memory which usually has this timing set to 2T. We also noticed that between ‘Creator’ and ‘Game’ mode that the idle powered would differ by about 20 Watts, so we might need to include two idle power results for Threadripper in the future. This is how our testing motherboard, Gigabyte Z87X-OC, sees this memory running at XMP 1 profile. We’ll be going back and using Blender for our CPU load tests to get a true look at 100% CPU load power numbers. This means none of our load numbers are actually showing full load results on the 2990WX.
For example, Handbrake only supports up to 32-cores and in ‘Game Mode’ only 1/4 of the 2990WX cores are available for use. We really don’t like our load power numbers as it turns out that we picked really poor load tests to look at.

The AMD Ryzen 2000 series ranges between 65W and 250W TDP, which is a very wide power range. Power consumption is something that you should be aware of with regards to processors as someone is going to be paying the electric bill. Power Consumption, Temperatures and Overclocking
