AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[Killer7xx]

Heres the link for that bracket, i used one with my H75 for a while

Seems like they're hard to get hold of now, will take some searching, not available on OcUK anymore either.

OCUK sell their own retention bracket for AM4 CPUs, not as high quality as the corsair ones but still does the job in my experience.

Will work the same for all AIOs using Asetek pumps, which includes all of the corsair AIOs.

At 4.2Ghz. 3600.

Hm....starting to reevaluate my thoughts on Ryzen 3. I'm not sure it is quite as good a release as i was hoping.

On the 13th November 2017 i bought a 8700 for £269 and my cinebench scores at stock are similar, save for being about 100 less on the multi bench ( same single core though).

Now, no doubt the IPC improvements AMD have made are impressive, and we do have a an improvement in price/performance, but looking at the reported UK prices, for a similar performing cpu at stock to what you could get nearly 2 years ago, we have saved £70.

Not that monumental unfortunately :/

It is a massive shame that the rumours of the 8 cores being bumped to the mid tier 3600 models and the 12 core and 16 core taking the high tier 3800 and 3900 models didnt come true.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those look like fairly similar prices to the Intel equivalent.
All these months of hype, and there's that little difference in cost? Gotta laugh.

If Ryzen 5 2600X is 80 quid, and Ryzen 9 3900X is 480 quid, that's the most unbalanced offerings ever.

currently £ 187.03 for 2700X and £80.50 for 2600X with current conversion rates.

though $ to £ is 0.79, and $ to E is 0.88

conversion rates never been my strong points , but shame POUND is so weak!!!!!!!!!!

have a feeling that is the single cause for higher Ryzen 3*** and x570 prices for ourselves .

seems 15% increase from x470 to x570 pricing was general ball park - looks like we'll take a higher hit .

LEAST it comes out before new PM ... lol

Good to know. Thanks for sharing.

The 3600 is matching an 8700K / 9700K for £200, what more do you want?

Ryzen 5 3600 - X470 Firestrike Score - 25343

Physics? that's the only score that matters.

8700K/9700K is at least £320 as well.

I'm not sure comparing against a locked 8700 is fair either.

Intel wont be offering price cuts on 9900k, it will keep its crown as fastest in gaming

Proof or lies

So to get 9900k gaming performance, you’ll need a 3900, and after the intel price drops, the 3900 will be more expensive.

Not sure about that one tbh.

3800x faster than 3900x in gaming.....

 

[robfosters]

3800x faster than 3900x in gaming.....

Well that’s making my decision a lot easier I have to say, and saving me money.

But basically, to get 9900k gaming performance or better, it’s a waiting game for the £750 3950?

If I have 8 monies which should I buy?

You are the most unbalanced troll ever. R5 2600X is sold for £200 as we speak and R9 3900X price we still do not know. So stop posting this rubbish over and over again pal.

Most likely, also expecting 4.6-4.7 all core on 3950x

Also note "awaybreaktoday" is another troll, he has no CPU sample and he just posts rubbish.

No, in fact you would probably get there with a 3600 at the same clock speed.
