Thanks I can't bring myself to decline this choice, is PCI E type a concern , taken from another quote elsewhere
"Only two x16 slots'
Which doesn't mean anything to me though is this a concern if so why

Gigabyte Gaming X is the best Buget board £182- not sure how budget you'd call it though - in terms of VRM design. Beast MSI Plus and equal with ASUS P
My basket at Overclockers UK:
- 1 x MSI X570-A PRO (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 Chipset Motherboard= £179.99
- 1 x Gigabyte X570 GAMING X (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 Chipset ATX Motherboard= £182.99
- 1 x Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 Chipset ATX Motherboard= £161.99
Total: £536.07 (includes shipping: £11.10)
Thanks are you making use of all three boards- some nice boards and feature packed.
I'm going to purchase my original choice which had WiFi and basic picE 4.0

I use a single GPU and no nvme slots so its a non-issue for me. I guess its possibly an issue if you use 2 x gpu and the nvme slot

That makes sense as GPUs were mentioned in that quote.
That's my choice selected then, going to run two site cost comparison -including overclockers -reason is I could benefit from Nectar loyalty points from another retailer.
Thanks!

Yeah its weird, but my 3700X feels much snappier compared to my 9700k and 9900k.
Thats the first thing i noticed.
Im using the same NVME SSD same memory and all other components so dont know why.
Yeah...the 3700x is tremendous value as basically my B450 chip and ram was around the cost of the 9900k alone...
But false economy...going to be patient and await stock of the 3900X...more cores for the same cost as the 9900k cost me is the only upgrade path

Yeah working fine....
Placebo effect is much more common and part of everyone's everyday life than you'd think.
Well its arrived and installed, performance is good but disappointed in temps. I am only running a corsair H60 which never got my 2600 over 60 degrees but the 3700X is much hotter, guess I need a bigger AIO.
disabled PBO for the time being in bios as well.
People running 280 rads on AIO whats your temps ?

Shame on you
I know, been too busy sorting out my watercooling and didnt have time to do the install.
Besides i had stuff on the drive that needed transfering to my storage drive
Do you remember more or less what voltage you used? Because Im not sure what voltage B Die would need to run that.

These ryzen 3000 series processors beats the intel 7 series hands down when pitted against the 7700k regarding ipc everything though, but you have more overclocking headroom with the intel 7 series though.
As well as it being close to the intel 8 series, maybe intel 9 series regarding multicore speed and not single thread/core.
What is your take on that?
All in all ryzen 3000 series smashes the intel 7 series (7600k, 7700k) i am confident about that at stock clocks for both intel and amd.
I know because i have owned a 7600k and a 2700x now a 3700x.
Dead confident about that.
People go on about comparisons to intel processors but for me well yeah, anyways there is more literate people about this then me but if you wanted to know well yeah smashes the i7 7700k, in single core, ipc, you name it apart from overclocking headroom heh.
Yeah despite people wanting proper benchmarks like for the 3800x, the ryzen 3000 series is between the intel 7 series processors and 8 series processors like the 7700k and 8700k regarding raw ipc/single core power of these chips.
Might want to poke my eyes out but yea i have the 3700x not 3800x, so my judgement is based off the 3700x fully.

My loading time's in command and conquer yuri's revenge is a lot quicker now when compared to my 2700x and am happy about that.
Using a ssd, both 2700x and 3700x, the 3700x is quicker to load which is what i roughly know.
Soldato
Yeah, especially given that a 9900k with the memory subsystem dialed right in has much better latency.
Its possible meltdown etc mitigations slow down these kinds of I/O tasks on Intel
But placebo is more likely
