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

[Martini1991]

Do you think the 3900 will be able to hit 5ghz with pbo?

Not a chance as normal lol.

Manual overclocking is a waste of time. You drop your shiny new Ryzen into its socket and let the advanced algorithms do the work for you more efficiently.

Every motherboard that advertised "automatic one click overclock" ever since I remember did it with huge overvolt. 10/10 you could do a better job manually.
But with Ryzen this is not the case. Increased voltage is still there, but because it is driven by CPU, it knows the limits much better.

You sure? $500 in GBP *1.2 + 8 (handling fee) comes to about £485

Why 1.2? Current rate is 1.26 (on my Starling card). Still comes in around the ballpark of £470/480

20% VAT?

20% VAT?

yes.... I've included that. I'm talking here about exchange rates. Not VAT.

You can get an extra 200mhz in 25mhz increments on top of the max boost clock using PBO. Maybe a negative offset will net you a bit more.

So it looks like it tops out at 4.8.

I'm still ummin and ahhing
What do you guys think is the best upgrade from my 2700x ? Purely for gaming.
I know you might say wait for reviews, but right now with paper details what do you think?

He accounts for the conversion by saying $500 in GBP

 

[Gee]

Correct.

Gibbo confirmed The 3600 is coming out at USD-converted + VAT.
So, can expect the 3900x to come in at £475 then I assume.

Happy to pay that and give OCUK my custom.

I hope 3800X and 3900X really match the 9700k and 9900k (as in not almost as fast, but actually as fast).

Otherwise as far as I'm concerned (gaming) this was all for nothing.

I suspect a little higher personally. Maybe £489

I think the 3900 will beat it more often than not.

 

[Gee]

Reasoning?

Just a hunch

 

[Jacky60]

£240 for the 3600 is near 20% more than i was expecting, how does it go from $199 to £240?

It's a five letter word beginning with G and ending in d

1.2 was for VAT. Was using 1.26 GBPUSD as you. Yep, it comes to about 470-480 depending on whether you include handling fee. But given previous pricing, ocuk usually swaps $ sign for £ and maybe sometimes removes £5-10 so I reckon 490 for 3900x is more likely.

 

[Illuminist]

So basically no one has a clue then. lol
I will wait for reviews

Already confirmed by Gibbo the 3600 is £188. So not greed. Just RRP (MSRP).
