OcUK Ryzen 9 3950X review thread

Yes, well actually I had intended to pick up a 2920 rather than jump on new stuff as it is too much for me but all the 2xxx seem to have gone discontinued in the last week :cry: Seems weird if the new chips have no backwards compatibility.

Well, X399 is now a dead system so not surprising really.

I had a bit of a feeling it was going to happen. I think it's still pretty decent it ran for two gens.
I sold my X399 based system when I decided not to upgrade to the 2950, realised mainstream 16 cores would be available (I have no requirement for any more) and didn't need that many cores for a while, and thought there was chance either this might happen or new boards would simply work better with the latest CPU's.
I'll sit out this generation I think. 3950x looks great but I had to upgrade one system back in May so keeping with that one for all round use (9900K)

Nope if you take a look in the Ripper section on OcUK you will see the new thread rippers and their full specification including prices. ;)

They are quad channel and in our testing optimal speed is 3600MHz just like Ryzen 3 will quad channel benefit.

They are also 4.5GHz boost clock and it’s all core boost and they seem to do it as well from our limited testing.
