Thats a brutal price for a motherboard, I could literally build an entire okay pc for that.. geez
That’s exactly what I was thinking. If that’s the case, then it really doesn’t matter what their manual overclocking ability is like as you’re better off just letting the cpu do its thing anyway.
I'm going £549!
for £100 more you could have a 9900K plus gigabyte master motherboard
I don't see them having any additional overclocking potential beyond PBO, perhaps 50mhz. AMD seem to be selling GPUs and CPUs at 95% of their maximum performance straight out of the box these days. If it took LN2 and 1.77V to get a 3950 to 5.2Ghz then 4.6-4.7Ghz is the most were likely to see. I want to be wrong but I've been disappointed by AMD launches too many times to believe otherwise.
Do they really cost this much to make over the x470's ? I can't understand what is so special, yeah the vrms are better but there are some b350 boards that have great vrms for 3950x on that chart earlier....
Agreed apart from the Gpu's , the vega and Radeon 7 I overclocked substantially, the 7 from 1800 to 2200 core and 1000 to 1280 on the ram, thats a lot of percent, it was similar on the vega but not quite as massive.
Well that could be NOT ENOUGH to justify him upgrading so THEN WHAT ??
Where is Fun in that ??
As long as it works as good as they make it sound, I prefer to use PBO. It really depends if its actually more efficient than manual OC.
I found PBO pushes the volts to scary levels of 1.45-1.55 sometimes so i dialed in a perma OC on all cores of 4.35 @1.45 and it stays like that most of the time.
