Got my R5 3600 for two weeks ago at SLS. Today I got my motherboard BIOS re-flashed at the vendor to fix a boot error. After the flash finished, the engineer helped to run the stress test for a while, and the tool show pci-e error soon after the test started. After did a cleanup of the VGA card the error still show up. Then he replaced the CPU with a 3200G and run the tests again, no more error. it's very possible something wrong with my 3600 CPU. :( Anyone has experience about how to RMA a AMD CPU?
Nothing is wrong. It's the BIOS issue. You need to update to 1.0.0.3ABB...

hmm, my BIOS already has the AGESA 1.0.0.3 ABB. the chipset driver do include a newer AMD PCI driver, but after install and restart, I can still see the same WHEA-Logger errors.

And, on a final note, new BIOSes based on the impending AGESA 1003ABB will also resolve the “Event 17, WHEA-Logger” warnings in the Windows Event Log. These warnings indicate that the system successfully corrected a trivial error in a data packet sent between two PCI Express® devices. PCIe devices can transmit thousands of packets per second, and it is typical for a few of them to require a correction or retry. As such, it is customary to suppress these unhelpful/routine messages in the log to limit the error reporting scope to errors that require attention and action. AGESA 1003ABB will make that change.
^ the pdf says suppress only not fix,
so perhaps some pple may still get whea errors with certain combi...
but likely not cpu fault

Hi all,

Anyone can advise me on the availability of the 3900X in SLS? I understand that stocks are hard to come by, but asking just in case anyone has tips :)

Your best bet would be to pre-order it from your favourite shop. Give your name/number so they can contact you. That's how I found it. SLS Shops seems to receive stock weekly.

I finally got mine (3900x) on national day.
I approached individual shops at SLS and no one willing to sell the processor to me.
Additional information, new stocks will deliver to SLS on every Tue and Thur of the week.
Also 3900x having worldwide shortage at this moment.

gotten my 3700x from Taobao instead of SLS since either SLS shops are not willing to sell processor alone or dun have them. Coming from b450 board without e need for x570 boards nor a new system i had to resort to online. end up its cheaper anyway, just abit short of $460 shipped.

Interesting. I was one of those 24 in the poll that did not reach the single-core clock speeds.

It is all board dependent it seems. My 3900X only maxes out at 4550 MHz single core on my x370 Taichi. During gaming, all cores are usually 4200 MHz. Heavy workloads like Cinebench R20 will see it drop to 4050 MHz.

All in all, still performing close to the max.

According to Steve's testing,

Gigabyte X570 Aorus Xtreme, Aorus Master, MSI X570-A Pro, MSI X570 Gaming Edge, MSI X570 Godlike, ASRock X570 Taichi allows his 3800X to reach advertised single clock speeds of 4500 MHz.

The X370 was not designed with Ryzen 3000 in mind so not a big surprise that it did not allow the CPU to reach its full advertised speed.

I'm not familair with newer Intel socket types, but this follows Intel's standard MO, right? New socket type?:s11:
Never heard of LGA1200. So probably a new socket with new 400-series chipset for intel 10th Gen comet lake CPUs...

And the 400 series chipset only supports PCIe 3.0...

From tomshwardware article

Therefore, Comet Lake-S processors will reportedly only fit into a motherboard with an LGA 1200 socket, nine more pins than the existing LGA 1151 socket

I count 1151 plus 9 is 1160. Where got 1200

I think CPU can get online. Better. Ask those SLS shop to keep the stock. No need sell.
