AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3D Cache Eight Core 4.5GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail - Go Go Go xD

Ha, I knew you'd cave. :D
Yup was only a matter of time! :D

The increase in 0.1 and 1% lows look too good if you're after high refresh rate gaming. Helps that I'll be able to sell on my 5600x for a couple hundred too.

Just hope the bios update will resolve the issues people are seeing with the chip and MSI b450 boards atm, MSI have said it will....
 
Just installed mine, running nicely. Seeing 75°C on 100% stress test with an EK 240mm AIO. Painless upgrade, new BIOS, updated chipset drivers, installed it with some Hydronaut. Running with some Team Group 3600MHz 14-15-15-35 1T RAM (4x8GB) no issues.

Which stress test?

Now use the PBO2 tool and curve optimiser.

Okay so, I have been playing about with my 5800x3d on an Asus Tuf Plus B550m, on the new Agesa 1.2.0.7.
New Bios are out for ASUS boards x570/b550 for Agesa 1.2.0.7


2 things that came up

1) One thing is clear apart from how fast and efficient the 5800x3d is in gaming, I need to put some time into working out how to get to overclocking my Team group Dark Pro 3200 cl14 with good secondary timings, I have already tried using via some guidance from Dram Calculator, but that's for previous Ryzen gens
I bought these 2 sets of 2x16Gb 3200 cl14 2 years apart from OCUK, and my newer set has a base speed of 2444 while the original 2x8Gb kit had a base speed of 2133.
If anyone knows a guide on how to overclock b-die ram (mixed albeit) on an Asus B550M Board please link. I'm better with MSI boards so this is new.
Don't get me wrong I can still set primary timings 16-16-16-16 32 and run it @ 3600 with Dram @ 1.42 volts and soc @ 1.1 v, but I just want to tighten the secondary timings up and even try for faster speeds but I need to know what to set in the Asus bios as it doesn't deal with failures as well as my previous MSI boards, i.e (you basically have to clear CMOS with means a battery pull for me every time)

2) I didn't check this prior to updating the bios from 1.2.06b to 1.2.0.7. However, on the latest Ryzen Master if you open it
and select Profile 1, or any profile for that matter, you will see at the top a new feature that I haven't seen before see below:
I/O Clock

if you hover the mouse over it, it gives the following description
The clock at which the I/O hub controller communicates with the processor

Does Anyone have any ideas what this is for? Its not mentioned in the manual which makes me thing it purely for 5800x3d.

Word of Caution here: I set this at the Max 2500 on the profile and applied it (because i did not see any improvemnt @ 1000) and then could not get back into my pc, it booted and GPU is on but I never got into the bios. I got around this by taking the CMOS battery out and restarting it. then shut down the pc, put the cmos back in and restarted it.

I used this to tune my ram. Never had much luck with Ryzen ram timing thing.

 
Search Gibbo's posts, I think he said May.

Thanks.

Had look there, mid to end of May and seems price will go up....

Think I might wait a bit longer to hear some more concrete specs for am5 chipset as I've had my b450 tomahawk for quite a few years now so in some ways wouldn't mind a complete refresh.
 
I would test at 4K, however the only two games I have played are Elden Ring and Far Cry 6. No change in either, although I do find Elden Ring to be smoother, had stutters with previous processor.
 
Can anyone confirm that Arctic Freezer II mounting issues on AM4 are well in the past?

Would prefer Arctic over others easily but I'd like the mounting to be as solid as it is on Intel

The only issues they had were

rev 1 - pain to install as the backplate was not held in place
rev3 - the AMD chiplet mount could interfear with VRM and or m.2 drive

Rev 4 doesn't have any issues AFAIK
