I use a dedicated DAC for my audio so I don't need any drivers, I will just let Win 10 auto install that one.

So:

AMD Chipset B450 direct from AMD
Navi Driver direct from AMD
LAN from mobo site

that's it? I don't worry about RGB stuff or anything like that, and I don't use "utilities" stuff. I prefer vanilla
Literally no different than if you had an Intel/Nvidia. ;)

Not entirely true though, intel management software, intel rapid storage driver, etc.

and I was only initially confused because the mobo driver page had an all in one driver, but I wanted the latest gpu driver TPU just posted yesterday, I'm all good now. no worries ^^

Post some benchies when you're done!!

Excited for you man, that is a sweet rig.

The concept is the same. Install what is NEEDED and nothing else. Chipset drivers, ME drivers, LAN, Audio, GPU. Done unless you need something else. Intel RST isn't needed. I've never installed it.

Same concepts as intel, bud. ;)

I'm really happy with my 3900X.
I had to manually set my IFclock to match my 3600 RAM, but that's the only tweak I needed to make so far.

That all in one driver is targeted at the Ryzen APU's.

Intel RST isn't needed. I've never installed it.
I started skipping the RST driver with my Haswell build.

Literally no different than if you had an Intel/Nvidia. ;)
For Nvidia I've picked up using @W1zzard's NVCleanstall.

Or dont order those things...

Its a neat tool... but really not terribly useful for me personally. Just another app that does something another app handles.... the nv installer, lol. Being serious, I dont care that much to even install the app. I just select drivers, physics and unselect everything else. If I need to clean up a driver mess, I have ddu.

It has its uses I guess, but not for me. :)

I am still thinking about going Ryzen 9 3900X and about the Ryzen 9 3950X 16cores and 32 threads but no release date on that one yet.

Because if I need to spend about 630USD/£522 on a Ryzen 9 I would spend the extra depending on how much and go with the 3950X.

Is there really any value in getting the X cpus over say the 3900.

Is that the 3600 you mean? I don't think I would get the 3600X with the price delta between the two here in Canada, and neither would I have opted for the 3800X instead of the 3700X. I think this was the case from the very outset of Ryzen 3000 getting announced, especially with the 3700X, where the 3800X barely has any advantage over it yet the 3700X's need to hit that TDP probably meant that AMD was selecting better silicon for the 3700X.

It was really hard to decide between the 3600 and the 3700X. In the end, the 8-core won out. But right now, the 3600 sits at ~$250 CAD, absolutely bonkers value for what it brings to the table. Meanwhile, I paid $450 for the 3700X.

3900X and 3950X are a different story.

E: Also, I think you're our VRM guinea pig, lmao. I truly hope that your 3900X is kind to your X570M. I've generally not had to deal with low end VRMs since I switched to mini-ITX, and forgot how these manufacturers love to cut corners on these low end, top chipset boards.

Using it for the less bloat I'm installing aka Nvidia's telemetry component, and the AI AA as an example.

Doesn't phase me in the least. Just isn't worth the extra time (as meager as it is) for the returns.

Surprised you had to do it on that board, as 3600 runs 1:1 just fine for me. Anything above that, I have to set manually. Or is that four sticks?
You'll most likely be able to go higher clock or tighter timings though.

I have four sticks running at 3600 CL16 XMP. Haven't begun to fiddle with tweaking things yet but I'll get there eventually. Already seems to be a pretty good sweet spot for general use.

Ah, yeah, that might explain why you had to set 1:1 manually and I doubt you'll be able to push it much more than that.
Sorry, forgot if it was you or another guy that had four sticks, too many posts in this thread :p
Still, that's pretty amazing from previous gen Ryzens.

my new rig is up and running for some weeks now, and i like it a lot, even if im still waiting for the appropriate custom rx5700 xt to appear on the market. i really wasnt all that happy with the wraith prism stock cooler, so i got something that handles my hotheaded 3800x a bit better. while it doesnt get much favor by reviewers, i refuse to feel buyers remorse, the tdp figures and clocks were out before, and as i had the cpu box in hand where it says max boost 4.5 ghz, well, i've read enough advertisements in my life ;) it actually boosts over 4.4 ghz, although i haven't seen that for single threaded benches, those tend to flip around between the fastest cores on the first ccx, all core load like cinebench usually results in 4.2ish ghz on all cores, without pbo or such.

Anyone else running Noctua on their AM4? I had to get the NM-AM4 kit for my D9L, but I noticed that one of the "long bars" (the kit provides "short bars" that connect the AM4 posts horizontally for horizontal heatsink orientation, and "long bars" that connect the posts vertically for vertical heatsink orientation) touch the VRM heatsink on the B450I Aorus. It's not noticeably obstructed, but it does push that bar up slightly (maybe a fraction of a millimetre?), as while the Aorus heatsink has a bevelled edge, it's still an edge.

I'm just prepping everything today, will actually build on Friday, but I'm wondering if this is enough to mess with IHS contact. I guess I could run it vertically like I do right now, but it just really isn't optimal for cooling as the air enters my case directly overhead of the heatsink (from the outside perspective, it's the left side of the case) through a NF-F12 and then exits the case out the back via a NF-A9x14. With it vertically oriented (as it is awkwardly on my 4790K right now), it pulls air from the GPU backplate to try and spit it out the top of the case, in hopes that the A9x14 catches the air before it does so.

I am running a NH-C14, discontinued for several years, cooler: applied to a NM-AM4 kit after i got my current board + a Ryzen 1600 CPU. The only issue i currently have is the impossibility of using the bottom fan because the RAM modules are too tall.

According to this, your board doesn't have restrictions, other than the necessity of the NM-AM4 mounting kit.

Assuming you used the paste the stock cooler came with, be sure to take care removing the stock cooler so you avoid what happened to me when i attempted to take the stock cooler out: scared the crap out of me.

That's hopeful, I guess. I am of the OCD type so it could just be worrying over nothing. Haven't decided whether I'll use NT-H1 or AS5 on this one though, both have been old faithful to me over the years.

I used to run push-pull with an extra NF-B9 on my D9L, making it literally a mini-D14; even with Kingston Fury (a relatively low profile DDR3) I had to move the fan and clips up a few fins on the heatsink. I have Corsair LPX on this build which is really short, so we'll see how it goes when my free extra fan clips from Noctua arrive (it's things like this that keep me with Noctua.at because they've really been a symbol of customer service and quality throughout the years).

Oh hell no, I stay far away from pre-applied paste on either AMD or Intel coolers. I'm keeping the Wraith Prism because it's a nice cooler, but if I ever use it on anything I'll IPA the yucky paste off and use some of my own.

@HTC no problems with NM-AM4. The instructions are just a little weird. On monolithic Noctua towers, the spring loaded screws are on the same axis as the heatsink direction, but the D9L (and I suspect D15) aren't monolithic so the screws are actually perpendicular in a sense. Which means I had to use the short arms, whereas with a traditional U9S for example you'd want the long arms. Worked much better.

Learned the hard way today that:

1) Having had Intel since Ivy means having been completely spoiled by strong memory controllers
2) Pairing Ryzen with memory that works is not a walk in the park
3) ITX boards that are not overbuilt do not like 32GB in the form of 16GB double sided sticks of fast DDR4
4) Ryzen hates Corsair and Corsair hates Ryzen

Would only POST and run properly to allow me to install Windows when on one stick only. Going back to the store tomorrow to return these poopsairs for a 16GB 3200 kit from maybe G.Skill or something. In all honesty, can't really blame the LPXs; as the box indicates, they probably would have been happy enough to run on Z390.
