3950x Owners thread

Illuminist · 10 Feb 2020 at 22:38

Couldn't see an owners thread so created one for us lucky ones to discuss our efforts and results with this monster.
I owned a 3900x before so also could do with some knowledge on how to get it running its best.

Good stuff, welcome mate!

Mine is running at all core 4.3ghz with 1.30v

jigger · 11 Feb 2020 at 09:37

I will either be in the 3950X or 3990X club this month. Depends on the work loads I take on and how we implement EPYC.

Hello there!
I am currently running it 4.4ghz on 2 ccx and 4.3ghz on the other 2 at 1.3625v

I get 11500 multi on cpuz and 440 single, is that acceptable and sustainable?

I thought there would be more replies in this thread...these are crazy good CPUs

5.5ghz?

I need help getting mine stable, it's not quite the same as my 3900x.
I'm getting audio issues at the same settings I had for the other cpu.

About to submit my steam hardware survey, adding to the 16 core master race

Sound crackling? I am having that since I put a Navi in my system. Switching to pice-3 from 4 fixed the sound issue.

Thank you watt matt, That would be great if it solves it for me, but I have a pciex4 nvme...
Tbh I solved the sound crackling by increasing the chipset voltage, but I still have the really weird microphone issue, which is.
Everything fine until I run a game and then it turns to a robotic chipmunk to any one I talk to in any program, even if I record myself it is like this,
Quit the game and all is normal again. This only started when I upgraded my 3900x to 3950x

Glad you found a fix.
How much did you increase Chipset voltage too?
I tried up to 1.150v, but I had boot issues if I went higher.
Was not able to find a workaround yet for my sound issue other than what I mentioned. Even stock memory and IF at 1800Mhz didn’t help.

I went to 1.125v and 1.050 on the other one.
My cracking came back, so going to try the pciex3 method you suggested

You can set the cpu to pci-3 and leave the nvme drives on pci-4.

I’m going to raise this internally to see if it’s a Ageesa bug.

Still can't figure out why my mic goes chipmunk when I run a game... Its really getting on my nerves, I can't talk to anyone on any software when a game is running

Motherboard driver maybe?

What mobo do you have @Illuminist ?

Try switching audio quality in windows to "CD quality". < not an actual "fix", but could be an effective work-around.

It doesn't effect the microphone in any way...
This is very strange

Have you tried using other USB ports ?

Okay so that worked, it detects it as samson mic 2 now and everything is great.... Thanks all for the help sorry it was such a simple Solution.
Simply unplugging and back in didn't work but a different input altogether solved it
