The AMD Zen2 Ryzen 3000 Discussion Thread

[aikishi86]

How long did it take? Was thinking of RMAing my 3600, since it's slightly unstable at XMP speeds like DDR4 3600. I need to downclock to 3200 to get it totally stable. Lowered voltages and still not helping much.

Probably not a motherboard or RAM problem, since I've already swapped them out.

I got the approval by AMD to send it to them on 12 Aug, i went to buy a smartpac from singpost and post it out on 14 Aug, 17 Aug received email that it had received, 19 Aug received another email that it had shipped out replacement. Received it yesterday evening. So the whole process takes around 2 weeks.



My replacement came from HK though based on the tracking

Just got a 3900XT with x570 aorus elite. No OC, my idle temp ranges between 54-65deg.... yes pc idling but the temp (Coretemp) keep jumping. Hit 84 when playing Uncharted waters online (2tabs)

Is the temp too high? Using Cryorig H7 Plus with 2 fans push-pull.

Sounds a bit too toasty to me when gaming although some people say its still ok under 90. Can you update your profile so we can understand what your currently running and maybe post a few pictures

sounds hot to me. My badly mounted DRP4 was getting high 40s to 50s idle with spikes anyway between +10-20C from that. It wasnt uncommon to see spikes to 60ishC.

I got rid of that, changed to a 360CLC and it lowered my idle temps by a good margin. Currently idling at 39.5-41.5C in a warm room with no circulation and a fan blowing. Windows are closed.

Ambient - typical Singaporean ambient!

Oh my specs:
3900XT + X570 Aorus Elite (Bios F20)
2 x 16gb 3600mhz Corsair LPX Vengence
MSI RX580
FD Define 7
Cryorig H7 Plus (Push-Pull)
Thermal Paste - MX4


Hmmm maybe i shld retighten the heatsink like as per Antiloop suggestion. Too long nvr install this kind of big heatsink (prev 1700 use stock).

This type of case does not have the greatest airflow so if it was me I would go with an AIO where I'm doing all I can to push the hot air out on the RAD!

From what I can see,.. to do air cooling the best kind of cases is the fully mesh front like the Lancool II to mount 3x intake fans on the front,..

Looking forward to this,

If the performance improvement is legit, then its a great late cycle boost.

in layman, identify the best cores per CCX, then OC those cores. win!

Actually the airflow is quite good. 2 in 1 out. From inflow to outflow fans, only the H7 plus inbetween (no cables/other stuff blocking).

On hindsight, i should have paid another $50 for a 120/240 AIO....

So here are some things I've observed with my own builds,.. airflow generally is good when there is clear line of sight,.. as in the air travels in a straight line.

I have the O11D casing and even mounting fans on the side intake and the bottom to exhaust out the top (thats 6 intake and 3 out) I feel its a little too hot in the case.

In your example the air is being sucked in from the front sides and then out the back. If you look at something like the Lancool II the air is coming straight in and straight out the back. We live in high humid weather so what we see tends to be the extreme.

yay my u12a is here!

still havent get to buy my strix 2080ti 11gb OC. the price like wont drop.. maybe wait till BF..

I'm using the same cooler and I can't mount it using the provided AM4 spacer, had to use the AM3 one, can you see if you have the same issue when you are installing?

Check the parts number against the motherboard you are using or want to buy. if it's there = profit

not so soon. at the rate im curating my parts. might go until xmas

3700x
low is 36+ without aircon
while gaming i think 70-71? need to confirm again

On which 3000 series and how it's the performance?

yea same 7 pipes but doesn't hang over the ram slots

Now all appear to be copying noctua. Lol

Yup, using 4x pieces of this for my AMD rig.

Typically can work, whether they can at xmp timings is another story. But as far as I'm aware, zen2 has been pretty ok so far when it comes to memory.

By the time u curate, zen3 out liao. Hehheh

Or just pay additional S$20++ more to get the 3600MHz CL18

Tried this last night, set all my settings to auto... use offset -0.05, cinebench got hit back by 200 points

I was able to get 4965 on multi core and 498 on single core. but with the above recommendation, I got only 4776 and 462. during the cinebench run, from hwinfo, i can see the cpu boosting up close to 46 but oh well....
