just tried overclocking my 3900x it will do 4.3ghz on all cores at 1.4v flat but holy hell 90 degrees under load in cinebench r20, cooling the cpu with a ek pe 360mm rad and noctua's nf-a12x25 fans at 1700rpm, set back to default after the run just shy of 7500 points with oc
Try 1.35v worked for me am running mine at 4.3 1.25v.

I mean my 7940x gets to 60dgrees max using cinabench. Watercooled with 360/240 though.

I might hold off the build if there might be a chance of new water blocks needed for these...

Techpowerup keep delivering all the answers this launch.

They put a 3900X in a cheap ($70) ASUS B350 motherboard. Here are the results:

Seems to be 2 bad results but otherwise parity, great when you consider this board ranks so low on the VRM tier list:

That's my board, good to know cause was getting paranoid about bios sizes,support etc. Now I get why the last 2 bios updates were making my overclock unstable, Asus was softening vrm stages.
