Hi chaps, new to this thread so forgivbe me if already answered. Any indication on the UK pricing for these new beauties?

I've never even bothered trying to overclock my 3700x. Just never seemed worth it.
But I have to admit, I would be tempted to see if the 5900X would do 5Ghz. Just cos its such a round number.

I did my 3600, 4.4ghz at 1.256v (Stock is 1.45v), temps are lower and power usage also.
Even if you don't OC, finding that balance on the voltage is worth it.

..and yes, I will be trying to get my 5900x to 5ghz.

I never overclocked my 3300x either, the gains just didn't seem worth it.

On Zen2/Zen3 is it possible to overclock only the maximum boost speeds to keep the same base core clock and yet push the overdrive to 5ghz?

5950X about £750
5900X about £500
5800X about £420
5600X about £280

Give or take...

The word is AMD could have hit 5Ghz, they hit 4.9Ghz i'm sure that extra 100Mhz could have been made but apparently 5Ghz would have required binning, and they decided to go for quantity of chips to keep the supply chain stocked rather than chase a number.

I'd also suggest that chasing 5GHz is pointless because Intel are at 5.1 and even 5.2, so the fanboi argument just shifts to "well, you can't hit 5.1GHz so fail".

But I do love bringing up the 9590 in such pointless arguments. Not only were AMD the first to 5GHz 6 whole years ago, but it also proves that clock speed in itself means very little.

Yeah i had one of those, its not nice having something in your space that puts out that much heat, this is why power consumption matters, its nothing to do with the cost of the electric, its keeping something like that cool and even if you manage that this heat is still expelled into your room like a space heater, its physics. It also killed my AIO after a few months, the pump just gave up.

Ryzen is a blessing in that sense, this 3600 puts out no heat at all.
 
Price to performance vs Intel, AMD slides that were shared with journalists.

TBH Those boost clocks shown by AMD are single core and depend on a lot of metrics, not entirely sure how many reach or even sustain the advertised clocks.
