I had some issues on ryzen master with voltages only showing 1.000v no matter the load after updating to 1.0.0.4 I fixed this by reinstalling chipset drivers so maybe worth a shot.

And what is the case with the 3950x needing the 1.0.0.4 bios to worj. If I buy a mobo now that doesnt have that and put the 3950x on it do I need to get another processor to flash to the newer bios? Completely clueless and possibly dummy question
Nah man. Again I get what you are saying, but it is more emotional then actually making business sense. I would like better prices too, but at current prices they are selling loads, why make it any cheaper from a business stand point?
The 3950x has 2 74mm² die plus an io die so has more silicon than a 9900k
I think that the guilty for this high prices is the AMD itself and no one else. Because they can't simply release a 6-core that is as fast as the old 8-core and order most of the wafers capacity for it, thus limiting the capacity for potential 12-core derivatives.
Also, always, ALWAYS, corp starts with lower-volume higher-end products on a new processing node, and then ramps up with further lower-end higher-volume products releases down the line.
It is all controlled limited supply of highly demanded 12-core product.
Also, where is the promised Ryzen 9 3900?
TRX40, new socket for Threadripper 3000, so no upgrade path for TR4 (x399)
Rubbish isn't it. Intels HEDT is looking much more attractive to me as I just want lanes for NVMe etc. I have enough cores with a 1900x, was happy to get a 3950x on TR4 for extra CPU performance but x570 doesn't do it for me, I have too many drives.

How many NVME drives do you need? You can have 3 on the board on X570 plus more on a PCIE riser.
Have you actually given anyone any money at all.
Yeah. Don’t know what to say to the guy. He just wants to see things from the point that suits his needs rather than objectively.
More, I have already fill my slots and an addin cards, I don’t use sata so there’s no space for add in cards on 570 as you lose the x4 when you use 3 m2 slots and with 2 gpus your done.
Despite all the naysayers mgpu is still a thing and it works.
If AMD can't keep a part on the shelves, the price for that part is not too high. It's arguably too low.
We will have to wait and see for these upcoming parts, but a lot of "votes" have been cast for the existing parts already...and AMD has generally been vindicated thus far.

When AMD's high end parts are more expensive than Intel's high end parts......
But are they? AMD's 'Mainstream' £750 3950X is rumoured to be faster than Intel best £1000 10980XE 'HEDT', Threadripper 3000 are all more expensive than Anything Intel sell retail, but they will also utterly crush anything Intel have.
Its all relative, AMD may now have a really expensive Mainstream part, relative to Intel, relative to Intel its also much better, so much better its better than Intel best HEDT part, so are they relatively expensive? No! They are relatively cheap, its just that Intel can't keep up/

Wrong thread - not even had a drink yet
The IO die is separate and irrelevant, it doesn’t kick out much heat at all as the power usage is minimal and makes up a small percentage of the overall chip power usage.
