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

Not sure why people keep chiming in on the pricing of boards like the Godlike.
If you don't see the value in it then don't buy it and go for a different board. For some, I guess the Godlike has value for what they need it for.
 
If I run into problems and think **** it new mobo, is there any good mobo for 100 to 150. See I do hope I don't need to, I'm sure an extra 16gb ram would be good.

I finish work at 8pm, my CPU will get dropped off today at a store, got a 30min lunch to dash and pick it up and dash back hopefully it all fits together perfectly!
 
People waiting for 3700X stock news right now.

From 1 side envy you both for putting whole new and shinny in, from the other going to do 1600->2600x->3700x feels really good too. ;)

I've not had a 100% new build since a Core2duo E8600 and 8800GT build :D I've always done incremental upgrades since then. Even this new build I'm re-using my Superflower PSU and 1080GTX, but the rest is all new, and my first ever custom WC loop to go with it. So very excited!

same here been around 2 years since my last full upgrade was debaiting the 9940 - 9960x before i heard what 3rd gen ryzen could offer, so glad i waited for it as similar performance but for a lot less cash which is nice

Yeah you definitely made the right choice there!

I think the 3900x will only get better with age, when games become more multi-threaded.

I've had two new builds in my life :D 2002 and 2010. Saying that it's all very much 'Trigger's broom'

I'm sure I'll keep my Antec P180 Mini until I die, an amazing case.

I have found several yourtubers benching stock ryzen 3600 non x vs stock 8700k(so 4,2ghz vs 4,3ghz) using b450 boards and it either goes toe to toe or beats the 8700k.. Now i'm sitting here, skeptical, cause i want this to be true, but it seems to bloody awesome to be true. I don't need more cores. 6c/12t is plenty for me until next year but i would like the IPC improvements as im currently bottlenecking a bit in 1080p.

For gaming there is no need for a 3700x vs 9700k or 9900k comparison. For gaming the 3600 (x) = 3700x.

  • Fabric clock target 1700-1900 MHz
  • Memory latency penalty ~10ns when moving from synchronous to asynchronous memory/fabric clock, which can be reduced by further increasing memory frequency
  • Highest possible fabric clock with memory synchronized (MCLK = 2*FCLK) yields the highest read bandwidth and lowest latency

So basically, get your RAM as close to 3733 MT/s as possible for best performance. Some chips may not be able to get infinity fabric running at 1866 MHz, in which case you'll want RAM at 3666 MT/s or 3600 MT/s.
