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

How did you manage to do this thing you speak of? :D

Oh and have you had any luck with the other thing? :p
I was going to OC the CCX and do some benchmark runs but didnt want to run lot of voltage on the CPU. I saw you guys are around 1.5v, I personally dont want to gamble that much. I decided to push the RAM instead since its cheaper lol 3800Mhz C16 with insane low sub timings and BCLK.

Max I have ever done is 1.475v and that was for only for single core runs on cinebench to beat Shac and take number 1 place among the Ryzen single core scores :)

You will only degrade the chip if you run high volts for long periods. A quick bench run here or there under 1.5v for only a single core should not be an issue.

For my all core 4.4GHz stable 24/7 OC I only use 1.275v ;)

Ah right yeah I did wonder. Congrats.

You have any SSD/NVMe drives in your system? As I read that they dont like the BLCK at anything other than 100Mhz. Though I have seen others happily running it so. Maybe one of the fixes in the last BIOS was for this issue.

I have 2. I tried BCLK since early BIOS versions and never had an issue.

I assume you quoted me by mistake?

I do not have a NVMe drive but will grab a 1TB one soon. Hopefully a decent one for under £100.

As for BLCK I always keep that set at 100MHz.
 
Oh yeah, I did. My bad.

Nghtmare picked up on it though.

Some Gen3 ones I reckon will be available at <£100 for 1TB in black friday or Jan sales. I have a Sabrent drive which so far seems to be good. Wish OCUK would look at stocking these.

Chaps, I'm interested in the 3960X. What boards will take more than 128GB or RAM? I'm wanting to run 256 GB as a main gaming rig and also host my VMware lab. Selling my existing servers will fund the purchase. I currently have 192GB of ECC DDR4 RAM, will that work in a gaming rig at all? There's no heatsinks on it. Thanks.

Most boards will do 256GB, and ECC. The RAM you have now may be pretty slow however, do you have the module part numbers to hand? You'd have to check just how much slower 2133/2400/2666 ECC RAM would affect the overall performance of the system, but you can get some ECC modules that are 3200MHz now.
 
Which boards? The ones I've been looking at show 128 GB maximum. I'm not sure what RAM it is tbh.
I've only got the new ASRock sTRX40 Taichi in my lab so far, that has official support listed in the manual that came with it.

Gigabyte told me that they suoport it on the Extreme boards but won't get a chance to test one for at least 6 weeks.

Where do you get the boards? I don't see them on OcUK?
 
ASRock is one of our main suppliers we got it from them direct, I'm using it in a development build. They are out in a couple of days, so a lot more public information will be out there.

Interesting, I didn’t even know this was a thing. I’m currently struggling to decide on a board with the Taichi on my list along with the Hero. I Just had a look on the AS-Rock website so thanks for the info.
 
Will be interested to see what the single thread score will be. If those blurries are true then they look to be monstrous!

You know what time NDA is lifted?
