I had a business account with them a few years back and they are dodgy AF.
Speak for yourself
Their warranty, build quality and low audible operation levels have always made them a no brainer for me. Mind you my case sits under the desk without a side window, just how I like it.

Exactly! When somebody basis a whole disertation on just 1 benchmark then you know something is not quite right.

I got mine no problem.

Mine is due Tuesday.

I dont know what to tell you there.
But its worth keeping in mind that the AGESA code is still a little screwy right now, so that will be having an effect.
Virtualisation with Ryzen Master does not work. Not Virtualisation in general
Sure they could have waited. But obviously from a business stand point and profitability it made sense not to. I am not happy about it either. That is why I have voted with my wallet and not ordered anything. Had the Mobos been £150-200 and the 3900X under £400 I may have pulled the trigger. As it is I may or may not get a B450 mobo and a 3600 just to have something new to play with.
I feel the best time for me to go all out and upgrade will be in about 2 years time. Right now the IPC on zen 2 is good, but clockspeeds kind of suck for a 7nm CPU imo.
But you come over as butthurt due to AMD not doing what they are known for doing and pricing aggressively. Those days seem to be gone and if AMD are to survive that is what they have to do unfortunately.

@8 Pack This 4133 kit of Yours is fantastic. No go with 3733cl14 imc on My 3900x cant make it no matter what ill try.... wont boot to windows spend 2 hours trying to move from 3666 to 3733
.This is with 1.4 on ddr 1.15 soc and 1.05 on Fabric. Still will try to Tighten 3rd irpontance timings

You can get the very solid Asus TUF Gaming X570 board (with Wi-fi version) for <£200, which is enough for the 3950X. What do you want out your board that it wouldn't match?

I'm hoping ultimately this CPU kills micro stuttering and Cities Skylines is actually faster now but still a lag fest.

95.1°C!!!! Holy crap that got toasty. Havent let mine go over 75°C, what is the safe limit for 3900x?

The Aorus Elite at £210 has a really solid VRM. One youd see of many high end Intel mobos and better than the sub £200 X570s. Seems a really solid buy. Especially as you can get £30 of Steam vouchers with it currently.
Yep
Yep
Nice.

The slippery slope.
I've just realised it's the fan on the motherboard that's making all the noise :/
Indeed
Not looked into it properly to be fair. Everyone is mentioning £300+ prices. So I did not even know there was X570 boards under £200. What makes some of those worth double the price I wonder?
I always look at cpus first and once I know I want it, then research the mobo.
Right now for me as I am not gaming and the upgrade would feel like a bit of a waste. Plus the lack of clock speed puts me off a little. Just does not seem like the right time for me to jump in.
Look at my 4770K. At 4.7ghz it has lasted ages (got it on release). I want the next expensive cpu I get to last 5+ years also without feeling the need that I want to upgrade. Just don't think that will be the case with a 3900X as next year or two they have much higher clocking cpu's imo.
As mentioned in previous posts I may grab a 3600 though. That seems to be a very good deal for today's requirements. Right now people seem to be having issues with them however judging by the threads here.
