All plug& play...should work out-of-box:s13:

(1) Any Ryzen 3000 is a good CPU!

(2) Aorus X570 has sufficient VRM, and Gigabyte bios is easy to configure, if you don't understand any parameter simply default to auto. Do take note that, first boots will take longer time for the board to recognise the CPU.
Happy with my Aorus X570i + AGESA 1.0.03AB, stable like a rock!

(3) using 2x16GB Vengeance RBG PRO in XMP ,so far so good.
Although bios has Corsair XMP profile1, but it simply cannot auto configure to 1:1:1 ratio with infinity fabric. In the end have to manually tune all in bios, which I hate to do.

(4) PICE4 SSD, GPU is the future. Do be aware 3700x, do not include a GPU, u will definitely need a RTX/RX card to boot.

Your mileage may varies, what I found as important :
Memory - If you have not purchase yet, search look for 3600 MHz DDR4, as it can unlock the Ryzen CPU to the advertised speed with AGESA 1.0.0.3AB. Another common sense thingy, 2 identical sticks for performance.
PSU - u need more then 600W if you go with RTX2080/RX5700XT. Otherwise 600W has sufficient power for oc...
Cooling - Stock fan works in SG. AIO will be handy for light overclocking, tweaking and prevent bricking the CPU if you accidentally set the vcore voltage too high. Always remember e magic number <1.38v for vcore, you will be ok...:D
Win10 - update 1903 with AMD Ryzen optimisations

Started with no intention to oc like everyone here, but cannot control myself after a while and start tweaking, and having fun OCing this weekends...

Google+YouTube is your best friends... and have fun time with ur new rig!

is there any ddr4 3600 16gb x 2 with low cas available in SG or need to buy online?
can't seems to find it in price list.

How much your total build rig cost without monitor?

not bad................

Saw a few G-Skill 3600 around Dynacore, not sure if the stock has been taken or reserved.
Hard to find off-the-shelves, either pre-order thru distributor or source online. That's why I just go ahead with average Corsair 3200 DDR4 first, and it could be one reason why my rig never achieve 4.6Mhz max speed for 3900x, even with latest bios AGESA 1.0.0.3AB.

Quick peek, 7203 cinebenchR20 stock speed and room temperature of 30c.
Can squeeze another 20+pts with aircon 25c + PBO. No BSOD, reboot, solid as a rock....

oredi pretty Kickass compared to this similar setup with 3600 DDR4, air-cooled score of 7047 R20. ( so hard to justify a 3600 DDR4 for tiny CPU gain of 100Hz )



Totally stomp a 5K AuroraR8 9900K, and I must say Ryzen3000 are impressive at this price point for the performance and stability really cannot complaint AMD this time round lah!

Wow! Thanks for the analysis! I will be using my existing GPU and PSU for this new rig so they were not mentioned. Not likely to be overclocking but thinking of Noctua NH-15S to keep the temperature low though.

Actually, the RAM was the first thing I purchased amongst all those I've mentioned. Guess I will really have to wait till BF for RAM deals.

If Ryzen 3000 is not this good. I think pretty much some people in this forum will laugh at AMD users...but now they seems to be vanished (and wait until Intel has substantial lead again)

Noctua fans, no1 choice for air-cool. Ryzen's prism also not too shabby...
Depending on the casing, mine's a SFF build so either a low profile cooler and risk toasting the board+cpu, or AIO liquid. Choice is very simple...

Good advice.
What's your recommendation for DDR4 RGB memory with 3900X ?

Am using AIO at the moment and I had given the thought of reusing it, but the fear of leakage gotten into me. Furthermore, it's coming to 5 years, the chances of malfunctioning also higher.

My case is the old (but gold? :D) Corsair 760T, should be spacious enough to accommodate the Noctua.

For a budget build, do you all recommend Gigabyte Aorus Elite X570?
I saw the VRM review, seems impressive but my only worry is the 4-layers PCB. Wonder if its worth the extra to upgrade to Aorus Pro for its 6 layers PCB

Proper tuned 3200 running 1:1:1 ratio with infinity fabric at 1600, is oredi pretty kick-ass in my reply reply... can easily out-benched Pauls' Hardware air-cooled 3600 build.

Don't waste ur life searching for 3600 in SG...there are better things to do...:s13:

>6 layers premium boards usually for server class boards running 24x7x365.
If you don't plan to use PCIE4 RX5700XT, SSD, or OC. Don't see any reason to have anything more than the 4layers found in X470/B450. This board should hold, with proper heatsink coolings.

Just that the MBTF numbers are lower benchmarked side-by-side against a 6layers board... :s11:

Nope I didn't ask for 3600 DDR4, just need 3200 RGB sticks to run stabily on 3900X.

if want go 32gb is it better with 4 x 8gb @3200 or 2 x 16gb @3600?
