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

Here's two words connected with a hyphen: Rip-off

Quoted wrong post

Surely that's a mistake with pricing? Was going to splash the cash from the credit union account on a new x570 and ryzen 3000 setup, when I saw this??? 750 quid for just a mobo??? Surely there's a CPU bundle in that price too?

Nope, just the board.

Not sure why people keep chiming in on the pricing of boards like the Godlike.
If you don't see the value in it then don't buy it and go for a different board. For some, I guess the Godlike has value for what they need it for.

If I run into problems and think **** it new mobo, is there any good mobo for 100 to 150. See I do hope I don't need to, I'm sure an extra 16gb ram would be good.

I finish work at 8pm, my CPU will get dropped off today at a store, got a 30min lunch to dash and pick it up and dash back hopefully it all fits together perfectly!

I wonder if this is true?

OEM's placing huge orders for Zen 2.

It looks like Anandtech's updated 3700X and 3900X benchmarks will see a 3-4% single-threaded gain.

sorry if this has been posted.

ryzen 3800x with PBO on x570 aorus xtreme vs 9900k with MCE on ASRock ITX Z390.

both using 3600hz ram CL16 and RTX 2070. think its on 1080p

did warn they would be low on stock and hard to get before launch

People waiting for 3700X stock news right now.

folks with the "I must only buy the best, the best is a rip off, thus everything's a rip-off" mentality are getting old.
Willy waving boards are a thing now, either pay up to wave yours too or go with something more reasonable.

any word on if 3700x has arrived? i ordered almost as soon as they appeared on sunday.

Fixed

From 1 side envy you both for putting whole new and shinny in, from the other going to do 1600->2600x->3700x feels really good too.

I've not had a 100% new build since a Core2duo E8600 and 8800GT build I've always done incremental upgrades since then. Even this new build I'm re-using my Superflower PSU and 1080GTX, but the rest is all new, and my first ever custom WC loop to go with it. So very excited!

same here been around 2 years since my last full upgrade was debaiting the 9940 - 9960x before i heard what 3rd gen ryzen could offer, so glad i waited for it as similar performance but for a lot less cash which is nice

I knew 570 boards were in the £300-£400-ish for higher end ones, but £750?? that made me go wow.

Yeah you definitely made the right choice there!

I think the 3900x will only get better with age, when games become more multi-threaded.

I've had two new builds in my life 2002 and 2010. Saying that it's all very much 'Trigger's broom'

I'm sure I'll keep my Antec P180 Mini until I die, an amazing case.

I have found several yourtubers benching stock ryzen 3600 non x vs stock 8700k(so 4,2ghz vs 4,3ghz) using b450 boards and it either goes toe to toe or beats the 8700k.. Now i'm sitting here, skeptical, cause i want this to be true, but it seems to bloody awesome to be true. I don't need more cores. 6c/12t is plenty for me until next year but i would like the IPC improvements as im currently bottlenecking a bit in 1080p.

For gaming there is no need for a 3700x vs 9700k or 9900k comparison. For gaming the 3600 (x) = 3700x.

Mate, all day yesterday too lol

• Fabric clock target 1700-1900 MHz
• Memory latency penalty ~10ns when moving from synchronous to asynchronous memory/fabric clock, which can be reduced by further increasing memory frequency
• Highest possible fabric clock with memory synchronized (MCLK = 2*FCLK) yields the highest read bandwidth and lowest latency

So basically, get your RAM as close to 3733 MT/s as possible for best performance. Some chips may not be able to get infinity fabric running at 1866 MHz, in which case you'll want RAM at 3666 MT/s or 3600 MT/s.
