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

Hahaha. Hope you don’t mind but I’m watching you closely. Got the same crappy mobo and want to know if it can do alright with the new chips before I possibly take the plunge myself.

Watch away! I'm quite interested at when I explode in a shower of silicon.
It works very well so far though, seeing massive improvements in games, but I wouldn't recommended using this board for a 3900x.anything lower will be absolutely totally great though.
I need to get off this motherboard before my tweaking fetish kicks in and I start pushing this too far lol

Thing is Smack my ram seems to work at similar timings 3733MHz - 16 16 16 16 36 - 1.4v. It boots and I can play games. It's just 100% stability I don't know yet. As above it could pass 400% in HCI but still not be stable.

(Previously I was at 3600MHz 16 16 16 16 36 1.35v and it seemed good for about 5hrs until it started freezing. This also passed 400% HCI)

For your 3800MHz did you enter in all the sub timings etc...?

I've entered the following so far:

tRC 48
tRFC 302

I've reached 1000% with no errors using Karhu

Water cooling doesn’t seem to have much of an effect at least for me.

I have 2 x 360 60mm rads and cpu temp doesn’t go much above 50c with water temp about 35c and my 3600 won’t boost above 4200mhz.

Tbf I have left everything on stock settings though.

Thanks for the information. I was just looking to get the best out of the chip really. If good air can do it, I be as well go that route.

You would think so, given how AMD talks, but the reality is that any decent air cooler will get the same amount of performance out of the chip that an all-in-one liquid cooler will get. The only things a liquid cooler will get you that might be beneficial depending on where you live, are lower idle and load temperatures.

Thanks, I'll maybe stick with air then.

GamersNexus did a video studying boost clocks with up to subzero cooling. https://youtu.be/g94rNe4XSGU?t=538
Keeping temperatures under 60C improves (multicore) boost a bit

I'll give it a watch. Cheers.

Depends on the sku too i guess. Can hardly find 3600 boost past 4.2GHz but i've seen the X version boost past 4.4GHz. I think same story with the 3700X compared to the 3800X.

I would probably go for the 3700X or 3900X depending when I decide to buy.

I have 2 radiators and 6 fans and I still hit 78.c under load, silly hot these chips

Zeed is correct you need to import the exported timmings for your RAM then calculate or you will get some crazy low timings that won't boot. Use Thaiphoon Burner to export timmings:

http://www.softnology.biz/

I've managed to get 3800MHz (IF 1900MHZ) 16-16-16-16-36-48-304 1T so far @1.4v with 8-Pack RAM - 65ns latencey :cool:

As already mentioned by other members use Karhu RAM Test for stability.

I've imported my setting from Thaiphoon into the new DRAM calc, but it puts the profile as "Debug" and it doesn't allow you to hit the "fast" preset only "safe" in this mode. Do I need to change the profile to V1/2 once i've imported?

In the advanced under memory quality it says 81% 3214Mhz CL14, but the "safe" preset only shows CL16.

The latest version of Dram Calc is: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ryzen-dram-calculator/

V1/V2 are preset ram values and take no notice of imported settings.

From following the thread, am I right in saying if the CPU doesn't hit one of the limits such as thermal, it will keep boosting until it hits a limit?
So would a good water cooling setup like this be beneficial over a large air-cooler?

Ahem, spec says:

Max Boost Clock 4.2GHz

So you are hitting max boost clock as you should.

It was a reply to his earlier question which I guess I answered. :)
 
I think there is still a problem with the temps being reported and I'm still not confident the newer chipset drivers fixed the temp and voltage polling. As my 3800X idles at 33 degrees today but it was 50 degrees yesterday and today is warmer weatherwise. Full load stress test mine doesnt go over 65 degress. Gaming 60, using a 280mm AIO with push/pull on it. GPU idling at 20 degrees today again 280mm AIO push/pull.

I think the volts and temps may need to be taken with a bit of a pinch of salt until it is sorted.
