I was generally wondering as I thought this CPU was not that special, well I'm guessing it's a little above the curve! I don't know I just run with it and go with it, seems to work more often than not and I don't think I've had any issues with it dropping out or crashing work units so, I just leave it alone I think when I get the water loop sorted for it, I'll try it as it's setup now for a direct replacement for cooling and then see what the CPU speeds do and more so the temps... It'll be interesting I think/hope

Just keep loving your chip. If your CPU were unstable, I'm guessing the WUs would error out quickly. Earlier I had set a slightly lower voltage, and 4 of mine gave "computational error" with about a minute.

On Ryzen motherboards, I chose the motherboard I have because buildzoid said it was the best in its price range in one of his videos. The price range was on the cheaper end.

Is anyone else having issues uploading and downloading wu's?

I was looking at that board too, and it seemed like a very solid option. Are you running the 3900x on default settings, or did you adjust and set in the bios?

At the moment, default settings after trying to do some memory overclocking and getting frustrated. I have adjusted bios before successfully.

I can overclock to 4.3ghz and get better multithreaded and worse efficiency, or I can run PBO and get 4.4-4.5ghz in single threaded where I want it with better efficiency.

I set my multiplier on my 3900X to 42 and messed with vcore. I cannot get below 1.18V, but I am pretty happy though. I think @phill definitely has a good CPU :toast:

My temps stay around 62c. I could go higher, but I like the temps where they are at. @manofthem what cooler are you getting to replace the stock cooler?

Your chip too seems pretty good. At that same voltage mine won't seem to do 4.1. Seems like the general consensus is to stay below 1.2 for crunching?

Tomorrow the DeepCool Castle 360EX should be arriving so if all goes well it'll get installed after work. I wanted the NZXT z72 (I think), but it was just too pricey. The DeepCool seemed to Dowell in reviews, though it does sport a hefty block/pump on top of the CPU.

HammerON · Jul 24, 2020

I originally had mine set to 1.216v:

What all-core clocks are you seeing while fully loaded with boinc? 4,050-4,075

www.techpowerup.com

But after seeing what phill was able to get down to, I played around with it a little more and found it was real stable at 1.18v.

I think once you get a better cooler on yours, you will be able to do something similar. I look forward to seeing pics and what you end up with :toast:

phill · Jul 24, 2020

Well, I'm blown away then.... Shite!! :roll:

manofthem · Jul 24, 2020

The 3900x ran all night averaging in the mid 70s on the stock cooler. I checked WCG and saw that there were a bunched of errored wu's, but I'm quite sure those came during the testing time.

Right now I'm back on the 1600x finishing up its work units, as well as doing some work work. Once these wu's are done, I'll be wiping out this installation and continue on the 3900x.

Nordic · Jul 24, 2020

I am genuinely considering lapping down to 3000 grit. Mussels had good results doing that.

Go for it! :toast:

But I'd be pretty nervous doing that.

manofthem · Jul 26, 2020

The DeepCool 360 AIO is now coooling the 3900x, and it's doing a much more credible job compared to the stock cooler. Temps while crunching went from 78-81*C down to about 57-60*C, all while looking pretty.

Rig seems stable and all good. Still trying to get the wife onboard with having the second pc for her, but our space is limited right now. I may got for it tomorrow and get it all setup for her.

To replace a 2700 with @Arjai or for another upcoming build??

Rossix71 · Jul 27, 2020

Hi peeps, just joined today. Been lurking the hardware reviews a lot!!!! Least I can do is crunch for the team, for all the wasted bandwidth on multiple TPU tabs I leave open.

Welcome. The bandwidth is not a big deal, the Summer heat is for some.

Rossix71 · Jul 27, 2020

Thank you, its always summer here in Guam. Ambient temps are stifling

Got this off of Mental Floss, picture from Zippia.

Just wondering if your snack matches up with you? Mine is nearly spot on. I will reach for a Snickers bar 7-10 times. If I am looking for a snack.

Happy National Junk Food Day. In honor of this very serious, highly celebrated holiday, we set out to find what each state’s favorite snack was.

HOW WE DETERMINED THIS
Using Google Trends, we determined which states were the most avid fans of each snack. We examined 45 different favorite snacks, given us a wide range of beloved foods.

We, being sane reasonable humans, excluded gum and sodas from our pretend vending machine snack roulette. Hopefully, you don’t swallow gum. Plus, liquid isn’t a snack- it’s a liquid. We then selected a range of popular chips, cookies, candies, and a few other vending machine favorites.

Quotes from Zippia, where the full story is.
Mental Floss, has a snippet of it, also.

So, let's see how correct their findings are!

New build. Gonna gift another T-3500 to my nephew, when this new one is done, mid August (gotta wait for some parts to be shipped).

This 3900X is running strong on a six year old Seasonic psu, 660XPS. It's a great psu, full modular and platinum rated. However, seeing that it only has 1 yr left of warranty, I ordered a Super Flower

Which do you guys recommend? I may simply keep running on the Seasonic for now, at least til I encounter some issues.

stinger608 · Jul 28, 2020

Yep @manofthem , I'd keep running the Seasonic platinum! I've had one of those running in a server system for about 10 years now without a single hiccup. As the saying goes, "if it isn't broke, don't fix it." :toast:

Nicely done with the link BTW. :toast:

The 650 watt version of that was tested here on TPU

Super Flower Leadex III 650 W Review

The Super Flower Leadex III with 650 W performs very well in all areas: load regulation, ripple suppression, efficiency, and transient response. On top of that, it is one of the quietest PSUs money can buy today and has two EPS connectors for power hungry CPUs and mainboards.

Thanks for sharing the review. I must have missed that review, but it bodes well. It was one of the few psu's that was fully modular, at least gold, and very importantly available at a decent price.

I do have this idea of trying to open the Seasonic and replace the fan with an RGB fan that I ordered. Not too keen on that idea, but it's kicking around in my head.

Arjai · Jul 29, 2020

Well, looks like I will have everything for the new build, next week. With one minor exception, the Motherboard.

I will be waiting until after the 20th of August. That's the day it is supposed to be stocked. I thought I would be waiting on a PSU but, looks like the 550 board is going to be the hang-up, instead.

Oh well. Eventually, it will be built. Nothing to worry about.

:lovetpu:

Rossix71 · Jul 30, 2020

I hear you, I keep wanting to pull the trigger and buy the 3900x, but I keep telling myself wait a bit.
I was going to order the mobo and ram for now, but wait on the gpu and processor.
Also the prices on amazon for the 3900x are outrageous rn.

Arjai · Jul 30, 2020

@Rossix71 I am going for a 3700x. Price is much better and I am pretty sure I won't be needing any water cooling to keep it happy. 8/16 cores seems to be a sweet spot in my house.

I have 2 2700's now and I can't seem to do anything to catch them out. I run them 24/7 crunching and Folding, both running rx580's. I also have one attached to my 1080 TV and game on it, occasionally, with out stopping the crunching. I do, normally, shut down folding but, I have gamed with it going and didn't notice anything (it was not a AAA game though, I think I was playing Fallout, for a bit, when I realized it).

It is a very competent CPU, the 2700, and I think the 3700 will be all that and a little more!
