Ryzen 3950X Build Help

So there's already a debacle and i haven't even gotten to the point of having a CPU to turn it on.

Multiple people reporting from Amazon reviews of missing Chipset fan grills including myself. I wrote a bad review for now, and e-mailed ASUS.

Why's it Amazon's fault? Did someone from Amazon remove the grill?

we don't know yet, ASUS Customer Support also contacted

i was expecting the box to be shrink wrapped with plastic, but it wasn't

thesmokingman · Nov 17, 2019

They don't shrink wrap MBs.

Ya won't find that at the local Microcenter either. I dislike these type of bad reviews tbh.

with so many people reporting the issue, seems to be ASUS' fault ?

Do you honestly think someone/picker at Amazon is hoarding fan grills??? Or that their bazillion cameras in their sweatshop like warehouse would not have caught someone with their micro screwdrivers? :laugh:

That's a bummer considering it's almost a $400 mobo.

Contact Amazon and they can open an investigation. I dunno if you have ever dealt with Asus... lol but you might not get very far.

Amazon brought an ASUS rep on via call and now ASUS is going to ship out the part to me eventually

...

I just hope the board is in good working order to be honest

I see what you mean when compared to the Asus site. I took this from an Amazon review where someone was also complaining that the fan shroud/cover was missing in the photo on the left.
I'd send it back as being incomplete.

thesmokingman · Nov 17, 2019

Scratch that. EK is releasing a monobloc for this board and the strix-e.

yup, someone got offered $42 from Amazon for the problem

This might be a new revision of the board to allow more airflow. That grill looks restricting.

I initially thought it was a new revision too, but then I noticed it was simply missing compared to a review sample

The Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero has probably more USB ports than you'll ever need, but if you're thinking of building …

Empty brass screwholder grommet is a dead giveaway. I'd be pretty pissed off by this.

Considering it looks like it does absolutely nothing but restrict airflow your PCH Temps may be actually better without it.

FreedomEclipse · Nov 18, 2019

Looks like Asus's machine done goofed and didnt toss in the grill with the rest of the accessories before it got loaded onto the truck.

Asus should really get on social media and let people know what happened and to ask those affected by it to contact them so they could be sent one out.

I'm hoping so!

And if you ensure a good amount of air flow around the chipset, you’ll never need that tiny fan. I have a 120mm (900~1100rpm tied to PCH temp) close enough to PCH heatsink and that (same delta) fan never works. Silent mode from BIOS (starts at 58C) and temp 47C idle, 50~52C gaming. No case and ambient 27~28C.

I agree the fan/heatsink on the Aorus Master is less substantial on the PCH than what is on the CH8 and my fan never comes on. My ambient does run 20-23C year round though.

Hello All
Today I upgraded my Ryzen 7 2700 with a Ryzen 9 3950X - good news!
My Motherboard is an ASUS PRIME X470-PRO (BIOS Version 5220- the latest available)

Everything is fine but,
Why is the vcore get's up to 1.47V when I am not overclocking (not really planning to) but precision boost is on Auto (guessing it's means enabled)
And the core hits 56°C wathing Youtube and 47°C with ~no load, I run a stress test with CPU-z and got it to 89°C when the fan were blowing 100% @ 4,05GHz
So the cooler has contact with my
Thermalright ARO-M14O rated up to 240W

Can you please help me with this one?
Should I disable precision boost or this is normal /safe?
Maybe set the vcore manually to a safe value?

Edit - CPU-z validation:

Thank You!

could this really be tied to binning? or maybe due to the chipset / features difference?

Linus is using 570X and his 3950X is more efficient than 3900X even, but is it binning maybe?
