Just purchased a 3900X and intend to use on X370?

[The Old School Gamer]

There is a interesting spreadsheet --> here <-- that might be helpful.

There is also a number of reports of BIOS teething problems on various models.
Some of the problems include 'possible' unsafe overvolting on auto settings.

So be careful everyone.. no one wants to break their new toy on the first day.

3900X on B350 chipset...

I'm Really interested in this looking to do similar upgrade for my Asus X370 Prime Pro but I'm going to wait and let the dust settle before I upgrade.

Here disi, I post it in this form for you... 3900X With a B350 Motherboard

I'll be trying this tonight. 3900X in a X370-F strix. In theory it should work, the BIOS updates have been done already, 2700x is fine on it. The VRMs should be fine too. I'm also hoping that my 3200 @2933 ram can finally run at least at 3200Mhz, so we'll see about that and report back.

Be good to see these results especially the ram speed you end up at and whether the CPU IMC was the weak point.

this is goin its rounds around the internet, dont know how accurate it is but hope it helps

There looks to be an issue with Gigabyte x370 boards running 3rd Gen ryzen chips (look in the gigabyte AM4 forum)

Looks like PCIE m.2 ssd modules do not work

Any gigabyte reps about here to look into this ?

 

[tommoT.Striker]

^^ well that sucks doesn't it.

Some dude got his 3900X running like a beast on his Crosshair VI

Yeah looks like it's specific to gigabyte x370 boards on the latest bios (only one supporting Ryzen 3xxx).

Looks to be a lot of success in general with older boards, have seen some possible over volt issues (nothing confirmed yet)

Well that doesn't look good at all. Just had a look at it's affecting B350 boards too. There's one report of RAM speed issues too and a couple of others on insane voltages. My 3900X is arriving today but guess it'll be sitting on the shelf until Gigabyte fixes these bugs.

I’m going to be running a 3900x in my C6H. Apparently it should be fine. My only concern was the memory, I’ll be happy if I can get 3600 and ecstatic if I get 3733

I've got the same board with a 1800X and considering an upgrade (probably a 3700X but undecided), will you let all know how you get on? I "tried" to update the BIOS to Version 7003 a few weeks ago and it borked the system (the USB BIOS Flashback is a life saver), I see Version 7106 is out now but not tried it yet...

Cheers and good luck!

Ok, so got it in there this evening (3900X). Booted up ok using 7106 bios. Then booted straight into 3600 ram and 1800 fclk. That’s with my memory in sig.

Timings on auto were 26,26,26,26 but changed to 16 and still booted in ok. Won’t do 14 though. Need 1usmus to write a new tool. Have given up for this evening, more playing tomorrow.

Need to do some thorough stability testing to make sure memory ok. Hopefully should be a breeze compared to gen1.

Lots of new options in the bios to, need to find out what is what!

G’nite.

Make sure you look at VRM temperatures.

Holy batman!

 

[tommoT.Striker]

Well i'm back running my 3900X on my Strix X370-F board, no real issues, had to clear the cmos when it posted into safe mode, but afterwards set bios to default settings and went into windows. Just now need to test my RAM speeds which I will do tomorrow. So far, quite happy.

No issues with NVMe drives either.

So I also purchased a 3900X for my Strix X370-F. I can't wait to try it out. Nonetheless, isn't the current BIOS just a Beta BIOS? I mean it should work with the new processors just fine but I think there will be another Agesa update. My concern is that Board manufacturers will keep X370 on a beta status and focus on X570 and X470.

What do you think?

Thanks appreciate the update, keep your findings coming. I'm sure I'm no the only one who is thinking of a similar move (originally thought I'd need a new motherboard but if I can keep my CH6 with little to no performance hit I'll upgrade the CPU)

That timing tool is only a rough guide anyway. Don't wait, get your hands dirty and start playing!

Yes BIOS 5009 is really only a beta I think and as far as I know running ComboAM4 1.0.0.2. So I think an update should be coming soon. I sacrificed stability in my 2700x for this early 3900x set up, but i'm willing to tweak and wait for updates.

In general compared to others, ASUS have been keeping this x370 board well stocked with updates and better quality too. No missing options in the BIOS or breaking functionality that I can see. So I do expect ASUS to support this board further, had they not I may have bought a Taichi.
