I’ve just run this with the RAM timings set to their rated values (3200 16 18 18 36 T1) and it comes back with 81.2ns

Yep. Windows 10 1903 and latest chipset drivers, it asks if I want to install Ryzen Power Plan.
By AMD:How come the AMD chipset drivers include "AMD Ryzen Power Plan"? I thought this wasn't needed or included any more?
Just got my temporary R5 3600 up and running. I changed some BIOS settings (enabling fast boot, disabling WiFi) but nothing crazy. I did enable XMP and then the motherboard decided it could automatically set it higher, so it's currently at 3200-16-18-18-36. Got all my drivers installed so just need to run some benches now!
Because I have not seen it anywhere, the Ryzen Balanced plans have made a comeback specifically and only for 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs as of chipset driver 1.07.07. These plans optimize the behavior of CPPC2 to get the 1-2ms clock selection we discussed with the media. Any other Ryzen user doesn't need a plan anymore.

Also as per my previous link and AMD regarding idle voltage reported :
One other point I forget to mention about idle cores (as I know people will be checking on this comment for months to come) is the reporting role our onboard firmware plays in what tools read out. Presently, the behavior of the firmware is to report the voltage the cores are prepared to jump to if the processor exits idle and goes to boost. A boost voltage of 1.4-1.5V is consistent with what we've previously discussed for other Ryzen parts, so that aligns with what y'all are seeing with the idle chip. Behind the scenes, the processor is self-modulating to much lower voltages as you would expect an idle CPU to do. The firmware is not reporting the current voltage of the core until the core is awake and loaded, which is why the voltage appears to go down under load. This further extends the commentary that what you're seeing from Windows and tools is not always what's really going on.

i used the pea blob in the middle method.
Used to spread it out thinly, now I do the X and squash it down, let it spread itself out.
My 3900x arrived Tuesday and is still sitting in its' box, dam work commitments 
Will hopefully get Backups, BIOS and chipset driver done this evening
For those who have dropped a new CPU into an existing system did you reinstall windows?

Here is a LINKY! to the latest Ryzen Master 2.0 guide, as it is quite a bit more comprehensive now.
Is Ryzen master the key to overclocking stuff? Annoyingly it doesn't play nice with hyperV / VBS (Virtualisation based security). I need to figure out a convenient way to switch VBS on / off as I need hyperV for work stuff.
I'm using a ultra thin spread of conductonaut. First time using it, thought it was fairly common but seems there is not many of us.

Dont think im meant to own what i ordered lol....
Ordered CPU elsewhere on Sunday, originally told Thursday delivery, this then changed to Sunday, and as delivery was my work i changed the delivery location to home as it was looking for sunday 14th... soon as i done that its put it back to Sunday 21st ROFL... atleast i have my x570 turning up today i thought.. got the DPD delivery to pickup location email, sorted, just drove up there to get it, and guess what, its not there, drivers scanner was not working so it went back to Depot for delivery tomorrow hahaha... what a complete failure for me! no rush anyhow as i cant use the damn thing til the 21st.
