Remember 3800X is only £315 with two games until end of Monday, cracking deal!

You should be doing an incentive with the Gigabyte X570 Auros Pro Wifi, and 16GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM for £579 and the free games.

yeah you got a nice chip there. what speed do you run for your 24/7 overclockI have now made to the top spot on the Ryzen single core scores on Cinebench. This CPU keeps on giving. Here is my post from that thread:
Got some new personal records
This one is all core 4.5GHz:
And even better I can now move up from 15th place to 11th making me the highest single core Ryzen result
FYI, ignore the all core result. That was from a 4.4GHz all core test I did before running the 4.65GHz single core OC. The PC had restarted from trying to run 4.7GHz so I wanted to make sure all was still well by running that 4.4GHz run
Caporegime
4.4GHz all core 1.275v.

thx, just about to have a play with mine. do you just use ryzen master or do it in the bios?
Caporegime
Ryzen Master for the moment. Will do it via BIOS at some point however. Only recently sorted out issues I was having with RAM so want to make sure everything is rock solid before I put it into BIOS.

ok cool. thx

What a steal. It was ~£380 on release. What a time to build a gaming PC.

What did you get rid of?
8700k
welcome to the dark side grim5
This is welcome to the bright side, goodbye dark side
What are your experiences with the i7-8700K? How does it behave in games, in productivity loads? Why did you decide for the top of the line 3950X today?
Probably because it's significantly faster productivity wise and less holes in it to boot

Just had a play with the 3600x and it will do 4.4 with pbo but it needs stupid volts, highest I saw was 1.486 but it won't pass one round of cb r20 on an all core oc with the vcore set lower in ryzen master. 4.3 with the core volt set manually to 1.35 in ryzen master is as low as it will go to pass 1 round. What is the safest max vcore I can apply as I am reading quite a bit of conflicting info. Got the ram running nice at 3600mhz and probably tighten the timings a bit more. So far so good I like the chip and especially when you remember the price of it.
Caporegime
Unlucky. Seems you got standard/poor silicon. Still as you say, for the price it is a great chip.
Associate
Yeah it seems so fella, decided to settle for 4.2 and see how far i can drop the volts to maintain performance. On an all core oc in ryzen master should pbo be turned off in the bios or should I leave it on?
Associate
Or would 4.3 with vcore set to 1.35 in ryzen master be ok for a 24/7 oc.
Caporegime
Not sure to be honest. I would not want to go past 1.325v myself.
By the way, I have everything related to the CPU left on Auto in my BIOS. Just spec spectrum is off and set bus speed manually to 100MHz.
