Ignore this post, I keep pressing "quote" rather than edit. Wish I could delete this.

It also depends on the RAM you have, for Ryzen 3000 the infinity fabric is a little different to 1st gen Ryzen (Ryzen 1000/2000) where 3200Mhz was perfect, and 3200Mhz is near perfect for Ryzen 3000 as well. But it also depends on the timing setting as well. This video on youtube shows what...

With £13 difference, I would definitely pick up the 3600X, just the cooler alone is probably worth the price difference, especially if you're gonna use it.

Ha, just seen your signature :) These were the first Turing cards so I guess there were bound to be complications. You're obviously right, it is better to wait and let other people test out the GPU's for you, I guess you were unfortunately on the receiving end for the 2080Ti release.

If RAM overclocking is the issue, both the 570 E Gaming and Crosshair VIII Hero should be more than capable to overclock decently. The 570 E is rated to be able to achieve 4400Mhz speed and VIII Hero is rated for 4800Mhz maximum speed. I personally have the Crosshair VIII Hero and overclocking...

You can tell just by looking at the image of it. It has no heatsinks in any of the vital places, just looks completely bare.

I personally use K70 rapidfire, the actuation is pretty light, so you don't have to use much force to type, it's like gliding your hands on top of the keyboard, almost effortless. Some people don't like it because the keys are too easy to press meaning sometimes you may press a key you don't...

My 3800X usually sits at around 4.4Ghz, task Manager reads it as 4.35Ghz for all cores (or 4.391-4.416Mhz to be precise), half of the cores hit 4.5Ghz though I'm not sure how often that is, or in what situation. I'm just going by the readings in HWinfo. Note that I don't have PBO active, or any...

Sorry, I meant to edit my original comment, ignore this one.

Depends on your budget. High end (£700-£1100+) you're looking at GTX 2080 or 2080Ti. Mid range (£370-£500) would be GTX 2070/S or AMD 5700XT Low end (£200-£250 for 60+FPS) GTX 1660S

Oh yes, I see them too, they are pretty beefy little boards :)

Yep, the best one seems to be Gigabyte's B450 Aorus Pro.

If your wifi router and your receiver are capable of 5Ghz connection, I would suggest using that instead, it is usually much more stable connection, but has slightly less range.

Is there any paticular reason you are contemplating a change of motherboard? They both are using the X570 chip, for gaming the VIII Formula shouldn't make much difference, unless you are finding it difficult to increase the speed of the RAM maybe.

There don't seem to be any X570 ITX boards, but there are B450 ITX boards out there, but I don't know if they're suitable for 3900X or 3950X.

I couldn't tell from the videos, but is your GPU powered by two seperate cables, or a single split cable?

Sounds like both your PSU and GPU might actually be going or gone. I would test with another PSU and of course you can always check the second hand market for a half decent GPU at a decent price.

As suggested above always start with the PSU in terms of diagnostics, then move onto other possible parts. PSU or the motherboard are usually the main problems when nothing powers up.

You can always overclock your RAM, since it's Samsung Bdie (at least according to the description) it should be easy enough. But since it's only the £10 difference (currently) I would just go with 3600Mhz RAM for guaranteed speed.

Oh yes, of course, GDDR is way faster than standard DDR4 memory.
