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

Hopefully eek out a few more MHz once ABBA is released on my board.

3800X (+ stock cooler) B350M Mortar.
Bios CPU fan speed - 20% @ 20c / 40% @ 40c / 60% @ 60c / 80% @ 80c
Bios PBO disabled everything else on Auto apart from RAM @1.3v.
No XMP.
RAM @ 2933 -14 16 16 (will not do 3200).

After installing it last night, It appears that that when I don't do anything one core stays active fairly often where as on the previous, All cores would drop to sleep within seconds on the previous BIOS.
Also I'm noticing my fans ramp up every minute or so now too.

Nice frequency on the 3800X, a good 200mhz more than my 3700X.
 
I've just done some back to back testing of the Rog strix E ABB and ABBA BIOS updates.

The new ABBA BIOS has idle temps sitting near 40 deg
The old ABB has idle temps sitting at around 30 deg.

Running R20 cinebench both temps hit around 67 deg.

ABBA peak 3980 with an R20 score of 3535
ABB peak 3969 with an R20 score of 3570

The ABB appears to have a lesser temp at idle and a slightly lesser peak frequency. ABB also allows all cores to sleep when the computer isn't doing anything whereas ABBA always has one core sitting around 1500mhz.

I don't know how all the cores can be sleeping at once, there's always loads of windows services running in the background.
 
Got a 3700X and a Gigabyte Aorus Elite on the way, anyone running the new BIOS care to comment on how things are?

Cheers

I've got the same CPU and board and have just updated my BIOS to the new beta with ABBA. It seems to have given me a nice little boost all round. Two of my cores hit 4.4Ghz now and my Cinebench score has jumped from 4750 up to 4818!

My 3700X with a Gigabyte Gaming X on the fastest core went up from 4360 to 4396. Seems to be boosting on more cores too compared to before.

Good news. :) Thanks both. Roll on Monday...
 
I updated my Aorus Pro 3800X to ABBA and three of the cores are now hitting 4.55 (PBO off) which is nice, but idle temps seem to have shot up by 10° and core voltage is now hitting 1.5v.
