AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[Potatowithearsontheside]

that's handy, as i'm not trying to convince anyone. i was posting a bit of silliness for fun.

that said, you did end up agreeing with me.....if the 3800x magically turned out to be a beast the sales of 3600(x)/3700x and to a degree the 3900x would have taken a nose dive.


that said, it's weird how there's next to no reviews out for them yet.

I'm not sure I do agree with you.
Why sell the lower priced CPUs if they'd buy the 3800X at a higher price if it were that good?

better returns/profit on the lower priced cpu's maybe? i dunno (don't care either tbh ) as i said i'm just waffling, killing time till reviews are out and bioses/bios's/bios'/(however the **** do you spell that) mature a bit and filter down to x370.

The mobo is automatically running the CPU at 1.45v, what is stock voltage?

i managed to back my volts down signifigantlly, i dont know what stock voltages are for the 3700x or 3900x but amd sugest no highter than 1.45v for 24/7 use on all chips, personally thats far to high, my advice would be have a play and set manual voltage if running at 4.1ghz try 1.25v to begin with if its unstable bump up in increments until you hit 1.3v at this point you shouldn't need any more for that clock (4.1ghz) i have the 3900x and at my voltage of 1.2875v i can hit 4.35ghz and temps are great at 75 degrees (bear in mind i have a sutom 360mm rad for my cpu)

I use 4 different ones just to make sure
Tpu Mem test + Ramtest + memtest5 + memtestpro.
But If I was to go with just one I would stick to Memtest Pro pass 400%+ If im testing final setting im doing 1000% pass.

How Many.....

I was just curious 'cus I had some DX11 files corrupt without any kind of severe bad memory signs, I have memtest pro but decided to use memtest86 just because I didn't want to be using the SSD during testing just incase. That was an all night run as well so wasn't sure how good it was overall compared to memtest pro. Just waiting for said error to return while playing FFXIV which has all the latest patches now!

Anyway, sorry for going way off topic.

Oh and I'm gutted Cities Skylines appear to be running slower on my 3700x than my 1600x, I can't justify getting another 16gb (100+ worth of ram) just for a single game though.

What?!? Slower than the 1600X?

Soz I have a 1600. And skylines isn't an indication of performance for a CPU I have realised.

Officially 1.45v is the max 24-7 voltage but I see PBO / XFR often applies 1.5 plus... These cpus don't really seem to scale too much with voltage over 1.4v though in any case for all core OC. Better to keep cool.

I am making a specific zen2 waterblock which will be available when all of them launch.

It's really not somebody asked me to run a rest on my 1950x with 64gb 3466 memory. Performance was in there words still not great.

Sounds like even spending money on RAM wouldn't make me happy with that game, maybe I need a super computer.

good thing i didn't jump on the ryzen 3000 bandwagon yet lol. was planning an upgrade for CSL...guess i can hold back for a while

I can test for you if you like?

Yea please, I've got about 4800 assets.

Might be worth swinging me a save file and what you want me to test in trust. I'm also running a radeon7 so not sure if gpu might be a contributing factor. Pretty sure I was rocking rx480 last time I tested this game.

 

[harney]

^ this should be interesting

I think CSL suffers for the same draw call issue that TW warhammer 2 gets with lots of and i mean lots of stuff on screen .. with low cpu and gpu usage

@Gibbo / 8 Pack - Looks like the 3800Xs were a washout again today, are you able to escalate this with AMD and let us know when we can expect them, although to be honest it doesn't look like they know themselves, maybe someone higher up the foodchain might have a better idea?

AMD make them. I’m not sure there’s anyone further up the food chain.

Not helpful really

Hi all
I've been going through all of the reviews and I currently have a 2700x with a 1080ti and game at 1440p I don't do much of anything else and from what I've seen for 1440p a 3700x or 3900x or 3800x (when we see the numbers haha) wouldn't actually be too much of an upgrade due to gpu limitations purely talking frame rates? Is anybody else thinking the same or am I completely missing something?

Thanks!
