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

[DeanT77]

Ban tbh.

*hangs head in shame*

My 2500k is still on stock clocks, I know, I'm a let down lol

So is my 2500k. I'm not much of a tinkerer so may dabble with it while I decide what to do with Ryzen.

Another comparison

So roughly 10% faster for a 5GHZ Core i9 9900K against a Ryzen 7 3700X running at 4.3GHZ?

dont forget to claim £30 steam voucher too! need to leave a review

https://promotion.gigabyte.de/AORUS-Promotion-X570-EN

seems AGESA 1.0.0.3AB has been added

seems AMD should now have sorted out 1-2 core boosting !

Thanks for this, didn't know about the promo so have followed the steps and just waiting for the review to be posted.

And my second zen buikd is up and running.
Hope my mate likes it

Got my 3900x at 4.35GHz all core, 1.325v in BIOS, stable at everything apart from P95 small FFTs

Latest BIOS and Chipset drivers made 0 difference to my 1.4v idle though.

I've decided the same, even though I bought all the other gear last week, b450, 16gb ram, nvme drive etc, gonna wait to see how things pan out.

I've been trimming my build ideas, reducing m.2 ssd to basic Kingston drive + seen win10 usb via e-bay 10 pounds.
Reason being I'm trying to achieve 3600 16gb NVidea 1660 +Monitor/win10 -approx 800-950 ish Uk pounds.
Though some minor home improvements are taking priority over next few weeks.
Nice to see plenty of X570 boards from 199+ and MSI releasing bios update for older boards so plenty of choice.
Maybe I'll Manage to start ordering hardware mid or late July, quite happy I resisted launch date purchase though tempting it was indeed.

I won’t be happy till I get 4.6. That’s what it was sold to me as.

I'm not hopeful for you.

 

[robfosters]

I'm not hopeful for you.

Neither am I, but to be honest, I’ve been using it for a few days now and it’s put in a sterling job boosting to 4.2. In real world use, I doubt I’d even notice a 400Mhz difference, so I should just stop worrying.

When was it sold as a 4.6Ghz all core boost?

Yes it doesn't sound like much but when its 5-6fps at less than 60fps 1440 it would be noticeable. Not hugely different but it's there. The game is very playable at under 60fps but it's less than ideal. If the 3700X was running at 4.5/4.6 (consistently and at least two cores) I doubt you'd see the difference.

I’m not even getting it on one core

Maybe you have better eyes than me, but I doubt I’d be able to see the difference between 54 and 60fps.

@Zeed looking good !

 

[Jacky60]

Actually the 3700X was 4090 to 4175, never got to 4300.

 

[wookiee87]

my 3900x on auto would struggle past 4.25ghz on one core normaly sitting around 4099mhz all core and temps where stupid, thankfully under volted and hit 4.35ghz all core and very happy with results

 

[Jacky60]

You may well be right or not, I can certainly tell in the GTA5 benchmark when it drops from 62fps to 52fps which I know isn't the same and I can't see 54fps being a bad gaming experience. Just ever so slightly not as good. I'd certainly prefer to have those 6 frames if I could all else being equal.

Crikey - might be the reason for the Ryzen 7 3800X then?? Leakier part which can get closer to 4.5GHZ,and that would be another 10% extra performance there?

It was 48FPS against 53FPS,so I think the Ryzen 7 3800X might make up the difference possibly. But Intel is only 10% ahead with 800MHZ more clockspeed,and probably a ton of power consumed. The OP estimated it the Ryzen 7 3700X was half the power consumption of the Core i9 9900K.

Gibbo confirmed same bin, so yes.

Good stuff! It'll be interesting to see what difference it really makes...
