Anyone here running on a B450m Mortar? Did the bios flash last night, awaiting delivery of the 3700x tomorrow, first Amd CPU since Atholn II

Mortar Titanium here, flash was fine on a USB 2.0 32GB stick.

Running today with a 3600 paired with TeamGroup 3200 RAM clocked to 3466.

What CPU and board was you planning to upgrade to?

Thinking of a 3700X, but with an X470 board because I don't want a fan on the board but I do want a high quality board. I want to wait a month or so to see if prices drop a bit on the 3700X, if they do I might get a 5700X GPU too.

I bought the GB Ultra and really put it through its paces today. Barely audible tbh.

I don't think prices will drop in a month, not with the interest that's clearly being shown, and the supply issues!

From someone who also has the 3800X on pre-order (luckily I have no rush), here's my theory.

Binned chips are needed for both 3800X and 3950X > AMD initially didn't want to announce the 3950X and possibly release it with Ryzen 4xxx next year > AMD decided instead to announce it and ended up having 2 CPUs, 3800X and 3950X, which need the best possible 8 core chiplets.

If that's the case I'm sure AMD is wishing they had just foregone the 3800X and have right now no idea how to deal with the situation.

I'm just worried that I have no way of knowing if my x570 is doa and that I'll be outside the 14 day window when the 3800x eventually materialises. It's not like I can drop my 1700 in, unfortunately...

It's odd that amd have given tracking info but presumably delayed the shipment, when you consider that review samples were unavailable.

It's not so much the sound (though that does worry me) it's that fans often fail and the hassle of replacing a motherboard is massive compared to say a graphics card.

Probably yeah, I might give in but I'm holding steady right now... just about

They gave tracking info for a consignment that was supposed to include 3800Xs but did not.

Not yet, will be arriving tomorrow with my 3700X so we can setup a support group. Also my first AMD CPU since Athlon!

Which RAM did you go with?

Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB 3466mhz

Not bad that, a £60 cooler free when buying a £220 board.

I'm doing some tests tonight on my i7-3770, tomorrow I will do them on the 3700x. This isn't scientific but will give a good idea for those holding out and thinking of an upgrade of CPU, MB and RAM from this little system that I believe many still have.

The GPU is a 480 Nitro

Randomly I actually did order the X570 Gaming Edge yesterday so nice little freebie I was not expecting.

RavenXXX2 · 10 Jul 2019 at 21:24

That's the AMD value and customer support for you, a 3900X running on a cheap B350.

How often do fans actually fail though? I mean I've never had a fab fail yet, not sure I know anyone directly either. It's not like their the same as 10 years ago even.

It isn't much more of an issue to warranty though I would say in that just takes 20 mins to get the mobo out and could always be good reason to do a heavy clean of the rest of OC then. Silver lining and all that
