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

[Yaayuh!]

But does it cool any more efficiently?

I’d be up for that but if it’s purely cosmetic then I can’t see the point.

I can’t see it cooling any better if there’s less space between the case side and the fans on the graphics card compared to a decent gap underneath in the traditional orientation.

This is more a conversation for the case/cooling sections maybe.

After a reinstall of Windows, I'm actually seeing boosts more in line with what I'm supposed to be getting with a 3700X in an X570 Taichi. HWINFO and Ryzen Master is showing me that one of my cores has actually boosted to 4.4, and the rest are boosting to 4.3-4.375.

All core appears to be around 4.1. Which has sort of assured me that it's still a matter of software quirks between AMD and the board manufacturers' BIOSes.

I'm getting within 1% of online benchmarks in Cinebench, and that's with 64GB of old slow 2400Mhz RAM.

@spoffle Did you upgrade to the 3700x from another gen Ryzen without a fresh install of windows? I recently went 2600 > 3600x so I'm wondering if a reinstall of W10 might be worth a try as well.

Test the new option if You can cause I'm rendering 6 hour long project from rave last night cant test anything hehe

Made me smile

Or just get a Dell monitor in the first place.

On Win10 it would be no issue. I went from an old Intel setup to AMD without a fresh install and it's working great so should not be a problem between AMD concurrent generations.

Yeah I figured as much thanks, I'm clutching at straws at this stage tbh.

Yeah, form a 1700 to the 3700X. I'm on Windows 10 as well. A reinstall fixed a few issues I was having with regards to the new platform.

Interesting thanks.

My friends B450 Tomahawk stopped working for his new 3700X build. He sent it back and got an X570 only to find that didn't post either, he was pretty ****** off with the idea of having to RMA his 3700X and was tempted to just go back to Intel.

Anyway it turns out the display port cable spontaneously broke and was feeding voltage back into his PC. He's now catapulting that into the center of the sun and enjoying a pointless £200 motherboard upgrade

I'm sure there's a lesson to be learned somewhere.

Test all the possibilities before making snap decisions

Has anyone tested Asus BIOS ver. 2703? I tested 2606 and it was garbage so I rolled back to 2501.

The hype train has finally run out of steam.
This has been the first 24h without anyone posting in this thread.

Perhaps we've all reached that "Zen" moment where we're all content with our builds .

I'm scared to touch it in case something else breaks, hence the question 2 posts up from yours.

I know I have.

Nearly 2 months since it was release and bioses still borked.

What motherboard so we can avoid the brand in the future. Both my Asus X470 and B350 are working dandy.

I have B350F Asus Strix.

I've still got lots of messing about to do.
My Asus Tuf Gaming X570-plus WiFi has had a new bios since I lasted updated it. Waiting for more user reviews before I take the leap though.
Also, still haven't tinkered with my RAM timings.

I've been too busy playing games lol.

Could it be a chipset issue rather than the mobo?
