I am just wondering if I am only using 3000mhz ram it the difference be a lot compare to 3200mhz.

High chance Micron E die esp. if there is AES in the model number.

16GB is also likely dual rank, not sure if Ryzen 3K has improved handling of these RAM.

Just ordered these:

finally someone started a thread

Intel will be forced to make a comeback and comeback they will.

With the 7nm process node, AMD just managed to meet performance parity in IPC and only pulling ahead in multi-core performance.

With AMD finally competing, we can only now benefit with lower prices and better value, enjoy while it lasts.

Agree on the IPC, but to cram 4 more cores to a total of 12, vs 8 cores on Intel is a feat in itself. And clearly the extra 4 cores contributes to a significant improvement over Intel's highest end consumer chip in applications which benefits with more cores. You also need to factor in that if you maintain an all core turbo on the Intel 9900K, you are staring down at a power consumption of about 160 watts to maintain a high clockspeed.

I have no doubts that Intel will catch up on IPC with the launch of Ice Lake, but that is still in the later part of 2020, where they will have to compete with the likes of the 7+ nm Ryzen 4xxx which is expected to be major change from the current Zen 2.

In short, Intel no longer have the node advantage over its competitor as they historically used to have, i.e. 14nm vs AMD that using 28nm. With this advantage gone, it will be interesting to see how competitive Intel can get in the near future.

Ok to use x470 for 16 cores?
Since Ryzen cannot over clock at all?

I think it depends on the build of the board. I believe it should work perfectly fine with X470, assuming board is well built enough.

In fact, it seems if you don't need PCI4, X470 boards are the better board to get from a cost and power consumption standpoint.

Seems like most X570 boards out there are drawing a lot of power.

Got to wait another quarter or so, right?

Can consider HyperX Fury. I was able to take mine from 2667Mhz to 3333MHz @ CL16, 1.35V.

Best is to check with Taiphoon Burner for the actual RAM chips used, Kingston only assembles them.

Hmm, hope I can find time to test it out.

Exact same thing I ordered on Prime Day x 2 sets.

Yeah, think it's about time too.

Zen2 deserves its own thread for being so radically improved.

Intel must be in crisis mode nowadays but it still has its own die hard supporters who think the world of its 14nm+++ thermal greased exploits+++ afflicted chips though.

cos im seeing people reposting the same thing over and over again

3600 with B350 FTW!!!

Wanted to wait for grey/red of the same stick to stock up.
but my casing doesnt have window, and this colour is 10 bucks cheaper.

Bigger forums are like that mah.

imo, white is nicer than the other colours. Grey is too drab while red is too garish. Besides, white reflects better any other RGB LED colours one uses too.

Grabbed another white Corsair pair from Amazon flash sales last night too.

Personally, I am for total silence, darkness and stealth though.

The most amazing feature of RYZEN 3000 - Power Saving (and some CCX OC)

* Remember to grab the Asus CCX OC Tool Easter egg while you are there watching der8auer.

Aorus master looks good between top end and fair prices here. More interesting than Asus WS. Targetting that hope got NDP vouchers.

Any one review gigabyte for us? How is their bios and rma support now?

Micron B-die

Is 3700X and B450 board a good combination?

My only problem with b450 boards is the lack of more m.2 pcie slots.

X570 has at least 2

I'm using 3700x and msi b450 mortar titanium.. so far so good.. except bios is kind of buggy right now.. that can be said for other board as well..
