Wil be intersting to see how that runs in that X370 board you have. Or you order other bits too? Congrats. WellJell

Where is the loaf?

 

[tommoT.Striker]

The novelty for me is keeping the board. I've had it since I got my 1700x in 2017. It would be great if I could run a 16 core CPU in there. I'll sort it out tomorrow.

. I'll sort it out tomorrow.

just go the kitchen and get one?

He can no longer afford bread, he just spend £750 on a CPU, well £760 since he doesn't qualify for free delivery.

How does the 3950x handle VR games and console emulation?

Congrats ! Are you planing to use the Dark Rock Pro 4 for the 3950x? Let us know how it goes. I am in a dilemma of which cooler to get for my impending 3950x and i am not too fond of water coolers

How did your Asus Strix X370-F cope with your 3900x as I have this board with a 2700x and might upgrade to a 3900x in the near future ??

 

[tommoT.Striker]

Not sure, i'll try the Dark Rock and see what the temps are like. AMD did say 'Liquid Cooling Recommended' but there are lots of reviewers testing it on air, so we shall see.

I would have thought with ease

Dell will only sell you one liquid cooled in their systems, but this could be to ensure that you get the best/closest to advertised speeds at the top end.

The Strix x370-F has the same VRMs as the strix x470 and according to that VRM doc has a 6 Phase IR3555 60A VRM. The 3900x runs very well on the board. VRMs stayed at 65deg under full load with a 4.3Ghz all core overclock, but I added two 120mm fans near my VRMs. I was tempted to get x570 for the 3900x but thought i'd give the x370 a shot. So i'm going to do the same with the 3950x.

Good to know cheers

I was 18th, maybe I shouldn’t have cancelled. Is it possible to find out queue length before reordering or is this frowned upon?

We around 150 orders on for these now.

 

[WesleyBurns]

Thanks Gibbo. May just place an order again and just wait it out. Could be a couple of months. Not gonna be quicker anywhere else other than OCUK.
