AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

Some vendors even allow you to update bios via software download now as well, no need for a USB, if you got a compatable CPU that is, AMD sent some basic chips out to people who requested/needed them for updates that you used to update your bios then put your new CPU in and you had to send back as well but still, good to have.

Do you know if there is a guide for doing this?

I have a (very) rough idea you load something on a USB, put it in, press the little update bios button on the motherboard.

I guess like you possibly? I won't have a compatible CPU pre-flash, so important to get it right just in case the board is dead on arrival.

Plenty guides on YouTube worth checking out. Probably clips of your motherboard too.
It's really pretty simple, you'll be fine.

No need for such very expensive board.
Even cheaper ones have overkill level VRMs.
Also marketing has crapped its chipset cooler compared to cheaper Aorus Elite.

Yes, and make sure the name of the file is correct for the brand of motherboard you own. Each manufacturer has a different default file name required in order for it to work using BIOS flashback.

For Gigabyte needed filename is GIGABYTE.BIN
 
I want to see zen 3 topping this chart.

With high probability it won't - the delta is 25%.

Top bin against the Ryzen 7 2700X is 68%. :eek: :confused:

Ryzen is broken in gaming. This architecture simply is wrong for this.

Looks like you forgot that the 2700x has been beaten by the 3800x and 3900x, the 4800x (or 5800X if AMD change the naming) will blow the 10900K out of the water.

It's not using the same architecture is it ?
AMD says Zen 3 features an entirely new architecture.

NVMe drive can be put into PCIe slot using adapter.
So for example X570 Tomahawk could take third drive.

Thanks I see it's around £55 less I always stuck with Asus , gigabyte will decide when the time comes just waiting to see what zen 3 brings first

Zen3 will put AMD on top in most games, i bet a fruit pastel on it.

Do you think that 3 years later Core i7-8700K, AMD will be fine to beat the so old architecture?
I don't think it matters.
Come on, Rocket Lake will come in several months with up to 30% IPC improvement over Comet Lake, and Zen 3 will look like a child and everyone will laugh at it.

So Rocket Lake will bring IPC parity with Zen 3 then? Awesome. nice to see Intel finally catching back up.

I sincerely doubt Rocket Lake will be good enough to divert all the laughter away from you though...

Mmmmmmm...................I was just wondering when the last time Intel ever brought a 30% IPC improvement to anything..........................................oh yes, never.
You are living in cloud cookoo land.

In fairness it's the first time we've seen Intel under this kind of pressure for a long time. Will be interesting to see what they come up with. I always said to not rule Intel out, but I hope AMD retain the lead(all round package) as they deserve it, catching Intel asleep. Good competition between them will surely benefit the consumer.

Buying jsut because of brand is bad idea in any product.
Asus basically sold scams in B450 boards.
All but one or two boards were unable to feed top CPUs in full 100% all core load without VRM overheating/running very hot.
(Gigabyte only little better)
MSI ruled in B450 boards with only competent VRM for the price sticker.
Again in X570 MSI tried riding on brand reputation and half the range had same B450 copypasta VRM making it completely sub par for the price.
(lot later released X570 Tomahawk is literally only good X570 MSI in their lower half of range)
While Asus and Gigabyte turned ship around.
Asus again screwed up in x570 chipset cooling with design excreted by marketroids.

Also in Radeon 5700 XT Asus cards were crap to mediocre with badly designed coolers.
