Perhaps. Personally wouldn't be comfortable with that much voltage long term, but if it works stable, rock on!

Micron E-die are old sticks, and I think I can lower it, currently, 1.38v is being tested.

I would like to see how Intel i7-6950X compete with new R9-3900X.
Because we talk about 4 years old CPU with lower frequency it's logic to OC both to the maximum and then to compare them.
That mean i7-6950X 4.4GHz boost on all cores, 3.8-4.0GHz Cache frequency vs R9-3900X on how much is boost...
no one know that for sure, enthusiasts community still examine is it boost as AMD advertised.

@Vlada011 I am responding to you here because it is a more appropriate thread.

AMD 3900x is faster clock for clock, and should in most circumstances beat the 6950x. I apologize for using userbenchmark as a reference, but my amd 3900x is about 30% faster than the average intel 6950x in single core tests.

 

[GoldenX]

The 3950X is 105W TDP, was that known?
It showed up in a Gigabyte A320 board's compatibility list.

Well it's a 16/32 CPU, pretty much an AM4 threadripper. This was known since mid-June.

Wouldn't recommend it though. Most A320 boards can't handle that kind of load.

I agree, but it's kinda funny, like putting 2x 9900k on an H110. AMD delivered on the chipset longevity.

True, and I would not hesitate installing a 3700X in one as they are designed for that power level, but not more.

Hello all

New to this forum ..Just got done putting together a new AMD build ..Info on it is in System specs ..
Now need to upgrade video since POWER COLOR RX-580 is the only piece that was from a previous
build .... have seen a few CPU temp spike out of the nowhere that activates a shutdown temp I have set to
165 degrees Fahrenheit ..bust mostly runs at 140-150 Fahrenheit playing Forza 7 under load

absolutely loving my 2700 does everything i need it to and crunches WCG really nicely

Have you tried it out playing games?

Nice system specs.
But, it sounds like you need to adjust your coolers settings or possibly reseat it on the CPU.
My 3700x idles at 32-34c, gets to around 17-38c while web browsing and maxes out around 60-62c after hours of gaming (Far Cry 5, AC : Oddyssey, etc.).
And as long as your Ambient temperature is around 23c (73-74F) like mine is yours should be running as cool or cooler than mine is.

PS
How do you like tha tRosewell Rise case ?
I just recently bought one and will be transferring my current rig over to it in a week or two when I have the time.

Got to say, the new AGESA really fixed things right up for my CPU.
HWinfo has been running for a few hours in the background and I now see two cores hitting 4.6GHz.
It's finally also the fastest cores in the system, which haven't done anything special up until now.
Hitting 4.5GHz is an all the time thing now, just taking that screenshot boosted one of the cores to 4.5GHz.

After all your teething pains - this is really good to hear.

I have my new 3700X sitting on top of my PC. My CH6 is waiting so I'll probably install tomorrow after work.... New BIOS, new chipset. Should be okay.

That is great to hear. I had a death in the family late last week so I really havent been at the test bench or my PC for days and wont be until next week.. I cant wait to see the result though!

I think my old 1700 was far worse, as it took much longer to get anywhere near decent memory speeds with that setup.

AMD seems to have been a lot more proactive this time around and the overall hardware is a lot more impressive. Not going to spend any more money on computer bits now for a couple of years, I hope...

First of all thanks for the information ..
I was a little suspect that the cooler was under performing its a AIO H100I v2 corsair 240
with 4x120mm fans two push, two pull ...two pushing are hooked to Cpu/wp header # 2 that gets straight 12v . The two pulling are hooked to a pwm controlled cpu header #1...so they throttle up and down via OS while the two pushers are controlled by the water pump

I am waiting for some 1mm thick thermal pads to see if that helps
AS for the Rise case room for days , Can put a 320 either in front or on top.. However if you put a 320 ontop you loose your 5.25 bays
I opted to keep my optical bays and mounted the radiator in front pushing warm Air into the case..but the case is so open that the
front, top and rear are all screen mesh so airflow is abundant 2x120 ontop

The Case will hold a vertical Video card as I have shown below but Air to card is really restricted since the fans are too close to
side door to draw air ...I just leave the door off right now

 

[GoldenX]

Can't wait to test that AGESA on my 1200, it will give me 4GHz boost, right? RIGHT?!

 

[the54thvoid]

I feel like I've come full circle. I started this thread as an early Ryzen adopter and now I've fulfilled my upgrade path, something AMD promised. No matter the shortfall in boost frequency, I think it's great I've spent a fraction to improve my PC's performance (and it has improved it). Even on gfx - I ran a Unigine test and it was substantially faster (single core boost to 4.3 is far better than all core at 3.8). Anyway, my old X370 exhibits a standard behaviour now.
1 - Doesn't boot on first try: powers briefly and then switches off
2 - Immediately, it restarts and the GPU fans go at full speed and the mobo beeps 3 times.
3 - GPU fans calm down after about 5 seconds and single mobo beep, followed by normal ops (into desktop).

I check HWinfo and the DOCP Standard setting for my memory is intact (3200, cas14) and things are running as they should. Does it matter my PC acts weird on boot? It'd just be nice to know the behaviour. It didn't give three beeps before I ran the 'XMP' (DOCP) profile. So I figure it's related to that, memory learning perhaps? But if so, when will it learn and boot nicely?

 

[Keullo-e]

R5 2600 here, since January. I had an i7-5820K before (it had one defective core, so I ran it with 5c/10t) and I think that this is the best upgrade in last few years. Probably last time I had such a good upgrade, we go way back when I went from Phenom II X4 965BE to i5-2500K. Running at 4GHz, it can do 4.1 but needs more voltage and the performance gain isn't worth it. Though the temps aren't a problem with custom loop.

Spoiler

...still need a waterblock for the second R9 290

asus had a BIOS bug come back where it boots at 1.2V on the ram not the XMP/DOCP voltage, so if your ram needs 1.35v to be stable, its not gunna boot at that voltage and hang until it goes through some reboot cycles

Makes a lot of sense. Though this morning, it booted without any issues. Gotta love technology; it exists to vex you.

 

[potato580+]

am still fine with raven ridge igpu, only sightly annoying on how bad freesync work on igpu, it seems like not smooth as external card, i borrow & tested with rx570 strix, even rx580 red dragon with bios mod clock 300mz looks smooth while active freesync ingame, no blur/jagged/lag/tear, i notice vega 8 have a problem with that, all running in exact 60fps and 60hz cap monitor, also i think igpu have a bad scaling, with external card i got clear display on any non native setup by turning on gpu scaling instead let monitor to do so

What to do with a uneeded Ryen 7 Wraith cooler ?

Mate it to Xeon Lga1366 board ......waaaaa.. laaaa
