I haven't upgraded in forever, so I took a big leap from my i7-3820:
3900X
MSI MEG X570 ACE
2 x 16GB Gskill RipjawsV (3200 16-18-18-18-38)
Reused GTX1080 (nothing sways me for the money yet)
Corsair MP600 1TB (holy shit is this faster than my old 840PRO, 1st NVME drive)
Micron 1100 2TB
Reused Antex P280
Reused OCZ ZX850

Your cabling makes me sad.
 
Gone from 4790k @4.8GHz that I bought four years ago to 3700x, with 2x 8GB FlareX 3200 CL14. Reusing all other gear: quite a few NVMe sticks, SSDs, RAID 1 of 2x 3TB HDDs, SoundBlaster (modulates 5.1 audio to stereo headphones) and 1080ti for graphics.

Saw big improvement on most game titles, as in 20-30 FPS, low 1% stutter is now gone. Crysis 3 in that famous level with lots of grass is loving all the threads.

IO has improved significantly, graphics gets full gen3 x16 AND NVMe sticks get full bandwidth, no more x8 and x8, no more skimping on SATA ports. All storage/graphics/sound devices now use full bandwidth. Thank you PCIe 4.

The only game that had worse performance is Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Down by 5 FPS. I mitigated that by auto-overclock using Ryzen Master utility, however it gives the cores far too much voltage.

I still need to do a manual overclock when I find the time. Also my memory should go 3600 with CL16, since it’s a B-die.

Well, good thing that there are no windows and that's the last I plan to look at it until I buy something new.

I get that. However, there is no way I'd be able to leave it like that. Even when I didn't have a window in my case, I still made sure all the wiring looked good. Even if no one else can see it, I know what it looks like.
 
I haven't bought anything yet but this is the plan (coming from a 2600K). I'll be bringing my 1080Ti over from my current build.

I'd like to do some 4K drone video editing and figured it couldn't hurt, I'll look into 2x16, thanks.

I upgraded from a 3770k to do editing of 4K drone and GoPro footage. You don’t need to spend that kind of coin. You won’t see a difference
 
Im really tempted to get a new Ryzen CPU, specially after all the reviews. I got a really good deal on a new 1800x last year and thats what I'm using right now, I just feel the need to get more out of if before I upgrade.

I went with a 3700x (since the 380x was MIA and I knew I was going to dropping an extra $200 for the 50th AV ED 5700xt and GPU block).

32GB of Corsair (16GBx2) white 3000c15 (not sure if I got lucky and got b die yet will know soon).

5700XT 50TH AV ED

X470 Prime Pro

256GB Samsung 960 Evo (Win 10 Pro boot)

Inland Premium 1TB NVME (games/apps)

Same TT View 71 TG case and loop in my sig.

I cannot wait to get my 5700xt under water. The early results looks INSANE for a 40CU part vs VEGA VII (60CUs)
 
So, is it weird my 3900x appears to run happily at 4.3Ghz on all cores at 1.1v (Tested for 2 hours on OCCT small data set), but 4.4Ghz needs WAY more voltage (1.4v) and it might not even be that stable?

Click to expand...

yeah the voltage scaling is a bit insane once you get past 4.3Ghz and completely luck of the draw if you can get 4.4Ghz.. the people that could actually get 4.4 were at around 1.45-1.48v. to give you an even further idea how nuts it gets, you need 1.8v+ to do 5.1Ghz+.
 
Anyone mess with overclocking on a 3600 yet?

Currently at 4.3GHz with 1.4v selected in bios (1.3687v as per cpu-z) during load. On water loading at about 63c during prime 95.
 
Finally got all the parts in and put the system together. I ended up buying a D15S, which allowed me to keep my 4790K system with the D14 as a backup (without resorting to a stock Intel cooler or ripping apart my ITX PC).

The Good: System seems very fast and it booted up the first time (a small miracle since I had already screwed the case back together). Having 12 cores is awesome, even if I'll never use them properly. Plus, the MSI X570 MEG ACE chipset fan has a very effective zero-RPM mode, which is a big reason I picked that particular board.

The Bad: The MSI X570 MEG ACE chipset heatsink blocks one of the motherboard screws (the one that is sometimes a guide peg in the middle). That is just dumb. I had to google around to confirm I wasn't losing my mind. Also, the Zotac 2080 Ti is not exactly quiet. At least the fans shut off when there is a low load. My case in general is just loud, so this may not be a problem for everyone.

The Ugly: The motherboard won't let me apply an odd number for the RAM timings. So my 3600MHz CAS19 ram (already slow but hey this stuff was cheap for 32GB) is stuck at 3600MHz CAS20 (even slower). The BIOS in general is not that impressive, as my Z97 Asus board was more responsive and easier to use.

I've attached a few pictures if anyone wants to see a poop-brown computer. I might add a 120mm fan to the CPU cooler once Amazon has a stock of NF-A12s again, but that can wait for now.

Interesting, I wonder if I'm having that same problem on my ASUS board. My RAM is rated for C17 but i can't get it there. And it's not like I set it at C17 and it won't boot, it just ignores that number all together and pretends it's C18. I'll try C19 when I get a chance and see if it's also suffering from the "odd numbers" bug.

Did either of you flash your bios (if you are on anything other thrn a 570?)..If so, you need to clear the CMOS for 30 seconds..a lot of boards are only applying 1.2V of Vddr (no matter if you set it higher) so the ram OC is failing and the bios is relaxing the timings.

I do not know if this will help either of you but I hope it does.

I don't believe this is the case with me. Nothing is failing on my rig, it just ignores C17 setting and acts as if I entered C18. No reboot cycles or stability issues. I'm on x570 as well.

Have you tried entering C16?

No, the RAM is rated for C17@3600MHz I don't really like pushing my timings tighter than it's ratings. I haven't had very good luck with that in the past when it comes to stability.
 
I did really want to use the AMD Spire cooler that came with the 3600X. I had a Noctua on there from before, that is decent but it is a low profile so not super high end.

Turns out, I would have to remove the back-plate on the CPU socket, and the only way to do that would be to remove the motherboard from the case, which is too much hassle for me.

Kept the Noctua on there when I swapped for the 3600X (originally has a 1600X in there). I think the AMD cooler would look nicer and cool better, but I don't feel like rebuilding the whole thing just for that.

people still use cases that dont have access to behind the cpu? granted my last case did not but that was purchased 15 years ago...i like the case but thats a huge over site imo

Do you have to use another backplate than the original amd ?
I've always used it and throw whatever comes with the cooler away o.0

Also access to the rear is quite standard too as you said :)

Im sure i put anything that was changed out into the retail box for the cpu or motherboard im currently using...I think all i had to do was change some stuff on the front by the cpu to be honest but i cant remember. That cooler your using seems like a good fit in your box anyway.

I finally got my 3700X installed. I was offically told the back surgery I had is considered a failure (as if I didnt know)...WTF is the deal with the Wraith Prism using the stupid old school single bracket mount? That really sucks. I had to pull my top case off and remove my top RAd to be able to buckle the frigging thing down. My loop is down until EK ships the block for my 5700xt on the 26th. I do have to admit its a beefy cooler.


I am having issues with my Corsair 32GB kit
Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK32GX4M2B3000C15W...of course Typhoon burner tells me its Micron D-Die (was hoping for the new version with E die) and to make it worse it is listed as a "downbin" sku which means there is problably zero percent chance of getting anything higher out of it, if I can even get it running at stock. Sending it back to Amazon and am going to try the
Ballistix Sport LT
BLS2K16G4D32AESB

That seems to be Micron E-die and its listed for 3200 at least. This ram issue crap is just that: crap. The mobo makers are making AMD look stupid with their half baked bios releases.

looks like the D-die will do 3200 at C16.. you'll probably need to disable gear down mode if you want to try C15 since gear down mode forces even numbers only but micron chips are pretty timing sensitive and temp sensitive when trying to increase clock speeds. most E die will do 3600C17.. i just bought the sport LT's but the 2x8GB ones so hopefully saving 25 bucks was worth it and i can hit 3600C17, just need the damn gigabyte ultra to come back in stock but i might test them on my 2600x til it does.

I need to read through doing some tweaking on this platform. I just got my 3700X installed and with the ram running @ XMP I am getting random reboots....System dropped it back to 2133 and has been stable since. I just went ahead and ordered the 32GB kit of 3200 that is Micron E die and this kit is going back to Amazon.

This ram was on my QVL list, but I just reread it, and while the part number is the same, the QVL is for V4.x and I got some old ass V3.31 stock. The V4.x is most likely E die. I am sure I could tweak this, but it just isn't worth the headache. Using CPU-z bench as a quick test (when it was 3000c15) it passed but with a slight bump in SOC voltage, PBO enabled (no offset), and 120% current draw, I was only seeing clocks of 4133Mhz. CPU was @ 73C at the end of the test...I can't wait to get this back under water, as cooling it down to 50~55C (or cooler depending on the Vcore) I am hoping I can get it to 4.4Ghz AC or 4.3Ghz AC with SC turbo to 4.5Ghz.

I really wish the damn 3800X had been available at launch...It was very good marketing on AMD's part, since the 3700X is much more efficient and makes the 3800X look like a cash grab from the average Joe's perspective....But I could use that extra 40W of TDP, given my cooling situation. I just had such good luck with my 65W 1600 and then the 2700 I had no reason to think that I needed to spend the extra $70 (although if they had been available launch day I would have gotten it).

So I found it, had to scroll all the way down, but board doesn't like to POST with it disabled. Looks like I'll just run C18 and try again when there's a BIOS update.

I disabled Geardown and Power down, bumped Vddr to 1.37V, and my system has been rock solid @ the XMP 3KC15 now. That is what is causing the issue. I had forgotten about it since my old ram was an even CAS number, but it has been around for a while.

I already ordered a replacement Micron-E die based kit to see what it will do, since I do not think this is going to do even 3200c16 unless I am lucky, let alone 3466-3600.


On a positive note, I have PCI-E 4.0 enabled for my primary M.2 slot, and both GPU slots (but only at x8 which is a wash since that is the same bandwidth as 3.0 x16) if the leaks are to be believed. I had an issue with my 5700XT 50th AV ED's box being damaged, and AMD support told me not to open it until tomorrow when they get an answer on if they can just ship me a new box or if I have to RMA the entire frigging thing. Hopefully I just get a new box, since it really sucks that it was packed so badly....
