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

Interesting note, but the Asus X470-F is a known problem child with the 3000 series right now.
Tons of threads and comments all over reddit, asus forums, etc.

What keyboard software do you have that caused it in your case, out of curiosity?
Mine doesnt have software, so it wont help me, but i am curious.

I have a Roccat Vulcan 120. I only used it to decrease the brightness on the RGB because they are 100% if the program is not running. I uninstalled it already since uninstall/install doesn't fix it and Roccat does not know why its doing that.

Asus do have a history of overvolting CPU's too much.

What happens with Ryzen Master with me is the CPU monitoring sits around 1.44v when idle, if i run Cinebench that falls to about 1.37v. However in CPU-Z the idle CPU is reading 0.6v.

HWInfo shows the voltage fine on mine, however it does cause "wakelocks" while its active compared to CPU Z which doesn't.

That's the thing for my board/setup - whatever i ran, whatever monitoring program, it always read 1.4-1.5v.
Didn't matter if i'd literally closed everything down, killed services and only had Ryzen Master or CPU-Z open, 1.4v+, all the time.

From what i understand, the 'Performance Enhancer' is meant to help your CPU boost higher, and on my 2700 it was useful (iirc) as it boosted quite high (often to 4Ghz) without excessive temps, but the voltage always dropped back to normal voltages when it was idle.
With this 3900X, i'm guessing the BIOS/UEFI just doesn't have the code in it for that Asus feature to take the better auto-clocking/volting into the equation, so we're left with a CPU getting more power than it actually needs to run or boost.
To note though, it shouldn't be a default 'on' setting from Asus.
 
@Nghtmare heya buddy what's your Ryzen Master set to?

Mines game mode Default, I tried Auto OC and tbh performance is worse for more heat lol, it makes zero sense!

Don't think I've seen my 3800x go over 4.48 so far, going to have to download hwinfo64 I think to see what the highest recorded clocks are

Edit scratch the above, just installed hwinfo64 and its hitting 4.525 fairly often

I have installed but I don't use it tbh. Im used to doing everything through the BIOS. Im running everything Auto at the moment. Spent days testing and came to the conclusion that it works better alone.

Kinda anecdotal, but in an effort to get my voltages under control on my Asus X470, i went looking for the setting that's doing the rounds right now where you change your BIOS/UEFI's CPU voltage mode from 'auto' to 'normal'.
The Asus's dont have it, however i just noticed that turning "Performance Enhancer" from "Auto" to "Default" has started showing me sub-1v readings in various monitoring softwares, instead of a locked 1.45-1.5v i was seeing before.
Gonna keep it like that for the day and have hwinfo log out to a file for testing the min/max of the day.

can you tell me were in the bios Performance Enhancer is thanks i cant fined it
 
What memory speeds are people achieving with the 3700x? Is 3600MHz doable? I'm wondering if this is where the extra cost for the 3800x lies.

If the answer is yes the 3700x is capable of ram speed of 3600MHz will the fact I am on a x370 Prime Pro board hinder my ability to hit these speeds?

I've only just been able to get 3200MHz working on my board thanks to the last BIOS update.
 
I am using the 3700x as we speak with the X470 AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI rev 1.0. with 3600mhz ddr4 8 pack ram, so yes my 3700x is running fine with 3600mhz ram speed.

Yeah its weird, but my 3700X feels much snappier compared to my 9700k and 9900k.

Thats the first thing i noticed.

Im using the same NVME SSD same memory and all other components so dont know why.

Ok i had to bring this one up, many people including me have noticed it is more responsive or snappy which is the ryzen 3000 series processors.

This below could explain.
