Passed 16k% Guess Ill try if mining works or reboots with tweeked settings.
@Illuminist any luck with boot up level ??
I'm kinda solid at 1.4v 3600mhz 16,15,15,32,50 @4.3ghz 1.35v
Llc high, vrm llc high.
It passes 1000% memtest but something is not completely right somewhere, very rarely I get micro freezes, maybe 2 times in a day. And after the pc had been on over night some kinda micro stutter. Don't know what else to do to help it really.......

I know it's a week old by this point but this video was pretty interesting to me:


The main takeaways are:
1) With a 1080p "class" GPU (Polaris/1160 Ti), memory tweaking makes no difference.
2) With a 1440p class GPU (Vega/Navi/2060S/2070S) or 2160p class GPU (2080 Ti), timings are much more important than clock speed. "3000 CL14" beats "3800 CL16" in nearly all games they tested, and is very close to "3800 CL14" in most cases too. (This is all with FCLK = MCLK.)

3800-14-16-14-28 was the fastest in all cases though, if you can run that high.

Mine worked out of the box.

Only design issue I see is that GPU covers the chipset fan completely.
There must be a small gap at least? Otherwise that's an obvious issue that i don't even see how they could miss, check the temp or put your finger on the heatsink and see how it feels.
Yes, Please let us know how it is. Thanks!
Will do.

I must make sure not to upgrade AGAIN next year. So far I've upgrade every year. Gone are the days where a CPU lasted me 4 years! No point upgrading next year when the big one will be what comes the following year with Zen 4.

Is anyone experiencing issues running rated speeds on x470? My 3700x boosts 4.2 max with a very rare 4.3 on a single core. Temperature is never more than 70C.

Running latest Asus BIOS 2501 which contains AGESA 1.0.0.2

This is the side effect of a socket that lasts generations and decent progress. I was thinking exactly the same, keep with my 3700X until the new socket. lets see if I can resist :)

You dont want to stop now your on a roll :)

:D

1700 -> 2700x -> 3700x :o

The 1700 wasn't a good buy. Mine wouldn't clock to 3.8GHz. It was not stable. The 2700x fixed all the issues I had with the 1700, in that it was 4GHz out of the box. But then I couldn't get my ram to work at DOCP 3200MHz until one month ago when ASUS finally pushed out a BIOS that made it possible.

I was not planning the upgrade from 2700x to 3700x at all. I wasn't even following all the hype, until it launched and suddenly BOOM. I got carried away in the hype train.

My main PC I just slapped a 3900X in place of the 1800X on my X370 board. Keeping everything else (bar maybe a 2TB SDD) the same until Zen 4 / DDR5 & PCIe 5.0.
