...and ABBA brings all core avx clock behaviour to 3825ish, up from 3650ish from AB/ABB :look:

The Mortar Max has a Ryzen 3000 ready BIOS. The Mortar probably needs a BIOS update.

Local stocks mb very limited sigh :s22:. I suspect they deliberately wanna push up prices or force you to buy their expensive bundles.

Do MSI offer international warranty for mb ? Probably gonna buy mb and cpu in amazon or newegg during bf sales but worried about the warranty:s12:

Singapore market is very small and with small volume manufacturer don't even wanna hiu u. Can be first few to launch is not bad liao. U want fast want cheap go buy online overseas without warranty. Better for yourself and better for local supplier who have to hear these type of accusation without knowing what's going behind the hard work of negotiating with small volume high overhead in sg. Not in a computer hardware industry in case another accusing occur.

You will be surprised. Some MBs are cheaper in Singapore even without bundle e.g. Asus X570 Formula, Gigabyte X570 Extreme.

The MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX has been available in Singapore for quite a while now at a very reasonable price and you can't even find this on Amazon or Newegg.

MSI does not have international warranty for MBs. If you buy from overseas, assume no warranty as overseas RMA can be quite a PITA.

Well at least it seems like the case for local online platforms.
Maybe I should check out sim lim price list .
Has been years since I used them lol. Maybe the prices and stocks there are reasonable.
Nowdays quite lazy to go there though since everything can be ordered online and usually cheaper too:s13:

32GB or 16GB kit? Try 3600 @ 16-20-20-56 1T. Worked for my 32GB kit.

32GB.

With latest bios now my XMP profile is stable (previously wasn't and hence why i was spending the time to tweak) :/ guess growing pains. might wait abit more then try tweaking more.

B Die is expensive and rare in SG unless you are going to get from overseas like newegg.

Hynix CJR and Micron E is also overclockable and cheaper.

The new Gigabyte 5000Mhz DDR4 sticks use Micron.

looking at MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC and MSI B450 Tomahawk Max for the 3600. i'm leaning towards getting the pro carbon but i realise the ram support is only up to 3466 MHz. was reading this https://premiumbuilds.com/ram/best-ram-for-ryzen-3000/ and am actually not quite sure which 16gb ram to be getting anymore.

also seems like sls shops are carrying only cl16 rams for the 3200mhz. appreciate any advice thanks!

DDR4-3200 CL16 is fine.

DDR4-3200 CL14 or DDR4-3600 CL16 is best but you are looking at double the price. No point paying for these unless you are running a 3900X/X570 combo and want to squeeze out those few % point gains.

right so just go for the cheapest ddr4-3200 cl16 then. even though its 3200mhz i still wont be able to know if xmp would let me reach 3600mhz for sure right?

DDR4-3200 will not have XMP timings for DDR4-3600. You can try manual OC but YMMV.
