AMD explained this in the post above, There is an observer effect at the moment with some programs. Latest chipset drivers, bios and May 2019 windows 10 update, you should be below 1v on the ryzen plan when idling. The image in the link there shows a 3900 at 0.384v

I have read it.. I dont use HW to monitor. .also he stated that cpuz shows correctly.. nop not for me.. also even ryzen master shows 1.45+ vcore all the time.. honestly I think it might show real values.. what I want to say.. if it reacts every 1ms for workload, it might actually keep that vcore high.. like literally all the time.. the question is, will it degrade cpu over time? :S

Hey guys, thinking of purchasing the following to finally upgrade my X58 platform, any suggestions, alterations etc? Gone for the MSI board as the fan looks like it's in a better position than most and wont be obscured by the GPU. I will be pairing with 2080ti and used mainly for gaming on 4K OLED.

My PSU is now 10yrs old (750w BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 7), worth changing as well, any suggestions?

Was going to get a corsair mp600 at weekend and now am put off by this review. Think am just going to get 2 960GB Corsair MP510 for the same money.

Yes, it is a bit of a bodge really. It's not fast enough over a 3.0 drive in most tasks and in SEQ reads/writes will very rarely be seen by most folk. I'll keep saying this, wait until Samsung have their PCI-E 4.0 controller and a drive with a massive SLC & DRAM cache, lets call it the 980 Pro for now :)

also regarding idle vcore, I have read that this is normal, but problem is that at least for me it never downclocks to 1V or so if using ryzen power plans... as it should definitely do at least on balanced plan...
Are you on X570? I have a feeling the ComboPI 1.0.0.1 AGESA is holding back my RAM on X470. Just cannot get it to POST at anything over 3200 MT/s. :(

I've tested 3 boards so far, and not had any issues relating to BIOS, an ASRock B350 ITX, MSI B450 Pro Carbon, and an ASrock X470D4U2-2T (Workstation/Commercial board). What issues are you seeing is it X570?

The custom DRAM voltage was not being applied at the POST from a cold boot.
Hence the lack of voltage was causing a pre-boot system lock out where the only solution was to do a CMOS clear back to defaults.

Turns out there was a fairly hidden away second BIOS DRAM voltage setting that was specifically for POST. :rolleyes:

It was driving me nuts till someone pointed it out on another forum.

What type of PSU's you guys using. Im in the middle of choosing right now but im unsure. Imm starting off with a 3800x 1080ti which will be upgraded to a 3950x 2080ti when i fully swap over my current rig.

Was thinking something like this maybe

FOCUS PLUS 1000W 80 PLUS GOLD

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/seas...plus-gold-modular-power-supply-ca-06e-ss.html

Or maybe 850 platinum better?

I put it this way my 2700x pulling 230w + titan pascal overclocked + oculus rift hooked up to usbs and other thing maximum i managed to get off the wall was 550w on meter.. I'd go with 850 platinum

Got my 3700x coming tomorrow. I have an unused AIO , Cooler master liquidlite 120, was thinking would this be an improvement over the wraith spire?

Edit. Meant the wraith Prism!
