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

[Saltcreek]

Welcome!

I too am on a 4690K and going Zen2. It's been so trusty I think I will have to frame it though. So so many memories.

Thanks!

Yeah, the 4690k is a good chip and it will serve my wife well for another 3 years or more as she only needs it for university. Already bought a new PSU and keyboard on here to start the new build. Next month it will probably be a X470 MB (Taichi perhaps) and a 3900X. Month after I will pick up a nice GPU like a 2080 or something.

Different GPU's

+1 to this, especially as that 5700XT is supposedly faster than the 2070.... stupid comparison, they should have benched both CPu's with the same GPU.

Personally i'd be looking at the Crucial Ballistix LT kits, ~75 for 16GB the 3000 C15 and ~85 for the 3200 C16, they both use Micron-E, XMP works out the box on Ryzen, and they overclock to 3600+ easy.

Well you say they overclock to "3600+ easy", in Buildzoid's video with this kit he couldn't get past 3466 IIRC.

Yeah? Trading blows with the 9700k and nipping the heels of the 9900k, on a X470 at stock. $200 slowest AMD chip.

Those AMD graphs don't mention the 3600?

Is that a review or just regurgitated leaked benchmarks....

You might be looking at the wrong bit, below from a handful of pages back yesterday. 3600 at stock.

Will be interesting when its run on updated chipset drivers and bios'.

(gaming) If both were free which would you go for:

Ryzen 3900x + X570 Gigabyte Aorus Master + 64GB Ram or
9900K + Z390 Gigabyte Aorus Master + 64GB Ram

Review, most of it is new content.

Stupid question, 8 cores vs 12, 3900X of course

So 3900x is fastest for gaming? Do not care about core count...

You don't need 64gb ram for gaming...

8700k @ 5ghz is about 512 single score. This 3600 @ 4.2Ghz seems bit of a tank with excellent IPC, if Zen 2 could do 5Ghz, would trash everything single core related.

Crappy RAM clocks & timings.

Crappy RAM clocks & timings.

noticed that myself. my current 1700 on a asus 370 prime pro is running slightly faster timings at 3000.

Just dropped in the bios for x-470 strix-f ready to just bang in the new CPU ( ultimately bank balance decided the 3900x is my limit ) so at least no waiting till September I guess. Couldn't get ram stable past the 3000mhz it was rated for 24/7 stable , and now with the new bios revision I'm at 3333mhz with ease... Happy chappy for the moment , gives me good vibes for the new chips
