Does it have a per ccx option?
Do you have ryzen master installed?
The way to find out the strongest ccx is ryzen master it has a ranking system at the top with little stars to show you best ccx and best core per ccx.
I wrote these down and then uninstall ryzen master.
Then in my bios I have ccx 1 ccx 2 ccx 3 ccx 4, I set all to 4.3 and then ccx 1 (my strongest) to 4.4 or 4.5.
I use 1.36250v to achieve this, you may need more or less but should never need to go above 1.38 unless trying for 4.6
It will then either post or not depending whether you have enough volts, if it does you can lower it by one step until it doesn't post or is unstable then raise by 1 step to find the sweet spot.
Are you also running 1 to 1 infinity fabric to rám? For that extra juice it brings?

I was looking at Aorus X570 Master but £400 price tag is really pushing it a bit far. Also X570 Ultra caught my eye and it's about £100 cheaper. Would the latter be sufficient for this CPU?

Given the performance of the MSI X570 Tomahawk or the bit more expensive Unify, isn't difficult to choose a solid board these days.
Why I mentioned those two, is because they have open chipset fan, without shroud to press it and is in the correct place far away from all other hardware.
Contrary to many boards eg X570 Taichi, where the chipset is where the hot air from many big GPUs flows.
why even use a fan. Gigabyte already showed you don't need a fan over a X570 chipset. And Gigabytes z490 boards that support pcie4 don't have any fans either

Stupid comparison. A 9900k on steroids vs 3950x at stock.

it's been posted before and torn to shreds. Linus makes a lot of stupid videos without thinking

Im still on the Intel4770k, deciding between a 3950x in next few weeks, or wait for 4950x. I'm guessing the gap between 3950x and 4950x will be nothing compared to 4770k and 3950x. Also waiting to see if it drops back to the £680 it was last week when i priced it all...it's upto £750 now.

As a 3950X owner, I need a 5950X.
Change my mind.

I'm upgrading too.
I like playing flight simulator and even at 4K I'm sacrificing 20% performance when combined with a rtx3080/3090 compared to a 10900k. I know it's a crappy single threaded game engine but it is what it is, and the 5950x doesn't just catch up but runs right past the 10900k's performance

Jokes aside men, i will probably not upgrade. Got my eyes on a big Navi, Mrs would kill me if i bought a 5950X too. But that single threaded performance improvement is super tempting.
3950X with PBO though is not even close to limiting my Radeon VII at 5120x1440, so this makes the decision to go for a GPU upgrade rather than a CPU upgrade a more sensible option, i think.
EDIT - Not planning to play Flight Sim 2020 much despite having a key. That said, looks like one game that would really benefit from the 5950X.

Up to 200Mhz higher clock speeds and 8 extra cores/16 threads to do other stuff while a game is running.
I feel that. Flight Sim is the one exception that makes me want to go big on CPU. I'd love a major threading patch, could end up saving me £300!
