I feel like a **** ahah, I was getting really bad temps and throttling on my 3700x. Just realised the wraith prism wasn't locked in place. The lever was too the left not right so there was no pressure. I thought I had lost the silicon lottery big time, guess its time to rebench everything
4350 all core + 3800cl16 stable
Moving to 4400 and off to work on car see how that goes
Very nice. Is that 1T 1-1 IF

Nope it basically was butter smooth with 2600x, 3700x manages to squeeze few extra % from 1080ti, but with my settings it is gpu limited. Just shows how we Really need upgrades to the "new and shinny"
. From other point, when the whole your upgrade consist of just swapping cpu and costs next to nothing, temptation is unbearable

4.4 at sensible volts no go. Also started testing heavy avx hadto diall that back 4300 for avx load cause temps go to 82Max CPU power of 190w's not too bad.
i want to keep this sub 82 on heavy load

Would be interested how that goes. I'm one rung down on 4000mhz g-skill stuff (still good binned b-die).Yup 3800 1:1 but qas i said got better memory kit comming tomorrow could not resist 8pack 4133 so my mate is getting my kit i fork out extra and get upgrade
Waiting a bit for things to settle and 3800X reviews to appear.
If placed get the 3800X's tomorrow though... I'm gonna be AWFULLY tempted to jump on the early adopter boat

forgot gow un fun normal cables are. But its cheaper build with compromises next year orr whenever my mate will cahne that 3600 to soem 12/16 core zen 3
@GIGA-Man Well tomorrow ill have a look what Gigabyte changed in bios ect. Only thing I could complain is cpu 8pin tad too high so could not get aio with fans on top of this case but thats also kinda case fault
. Deffo nice connector for front panell with power button ect. Can say even better than Asus one In general board feels much more SOLID than last Gigabyte one I was playing with. TJust got my system up and running, only thing I did right away was stick the RAM up to 3466MHz - everything else essentially 'out of the box'.
3700X @ Stock, 32GB 3466MHz CL16 RAM, GTX 1080 Armor OC
1920x1080 - 56.1 FPS (+38%)
Cheers

That looks about right to me, it's good to know AMD are delivering again. It beats my 5960X, not by a huge margin but a win is a win!
Steve says he has a hard time recommending the 3700X because they don't like recommending chips that are the 'odd one out', stuck in the middle while being 'very good at the things on either side' 
That's like, entirely why the 3700X is the buy for me.

Slightly odd conclusion from Steve... wonder what he's going to make of the 3800X lol! That's surely likely to be more the odd one out based on his criteria. The 3700X ticks many boxes for a lot of people I'd say, except for someone who's ONLY gaming and nothing else, more so if they're at 1440/4K. Otherwise, the 3700X does a lot right. For budget builds, the 3600 is clearly the way to go though, but that was never really in question.
