I'm sold, who else is getting an AMD 3600x?

[Space Lynx]

lmao i love seinfeld.

someone needs to leak official benches so peoples minds in this thread really don't melt. does anyone know when the NDA ends? july 7th or e3?

 

[GoldenX]

When it's done (tm).

Phenom II was a gift we took for granted, now it's lost in the sands of time...
Man, I sold a lot of Sempron 140/145 PCs, half of them unlocked fine, those who got them were very happy.

I had a phenom ll x2 that didn't unlock luckily my gaming PC had a phenom ll x4 955

 

[GoldenX]

I sold the last Sempron 140 2 weeks ago, to a girl starting architecture, that was as far as she could pay, so getting a dual core for the price of a single core made her day.
I still have a Phenom II X4 800 waiting for an owner. One of those without L3 cache.

 

[lexluthermiester]

I would be a fool

You said it.

Wait for the reviews. While it is certainly going to be a good CPU, you already have a good CPU that OC's well. You can't be certain that the $350+ you'd spend would be worth it in comparison to your existing system.

yeah but the AMD 3600 will change everything!

You don't and can't know that. Even with the raving that's going on, it's still an unknown until independent reviews have been done.

Have you read and watched the links in my OP, this CPU will be the bomb! Just imagine if it has unlocked cores as well!

does 2700x all cores boost at same time? im worried even if i overclock a 3700 cpu to 4.6ghz or 4.7ghz, it will only be a couple cores that hit that speed, will it be easy to get all cores to stay that high? say on a high end noctua cooler

The 3700 will overclock to 5.0ghz don't worry, preorder today!

Leaked data is not reliable data and one Youtube video does not make for a solid conclusion. Even when you factor in all of the gushing being done at Computex, it's still a lot of cheering and hand waving without data to back it up. Now maybe all the hype is right, but you can't make a potentially expensive decision based on hype alone. Wait for the reviews and benchmarks!

That's easily answered. If any of the cores can get to a certain speed, then all of them will be able to at once with adjustments in the bios. That might mean a bit extra voltage, it might not. Premium cooling will still be needed as it is with current Ryzen CPU's for any OC.

You don't and can't know that. Though given the stated stock speeds, it's very possible. However, it is not guaranteed.

 

[GoldenX]

People, stop hyping, even if all turns to be true, you are still just guessing.
NEVER preorder.

 

[lexluthermiester]

NEVER preorder.

^This, YES! A thousand times yes.

 

[Space Lynx]

1xxx and 2xxx series could only overclock 100 to 200mhz max. so I will be surprised... but to be fair this is where AMD had their aims set from the very beginning, so it might happen.

^This, YES! A thousand times yes.

on the same hand if its amazing, it will be sold out for months.

 

[Vario]

You can't afford not to preorder. It will be out of stock for months because its guaranteed to overclock to at least 5 Ghz and it will have unlockable cores, no security flaws, and its a bargain because the motherboard will be futureproof for all future sockets of Ryzen until 2030.

you are starting to smell like a troll mate, lol. but if you want to better defend your decision, I would argue that TSMC is only one producing 7nm, so they have schedules... so what gets made in x timeline for AMD is all AMD has for x amount of time. Apple has a slot, Playstation 4 will take up a big chunk of time, etc. Navi will get its own time slot... etc I know there are many TSMC factories, but my point still stands

that is one reason to maybe pre-order, especially since silicon seems to have issues with meeting demands

Don't forget that that you will be able to use any motherboard forever!

LIke solely due to Seinfeld/Kramer. lol love you man!

1xxx and 2xxx series could only overclock 100 to 200mhz max.

Not true, most of them could easily get to 4ghz and to 4.1/4.2ghz with voltage bumps.

True.

 

[GoldenX]

True.

I can confirm, the cheaper it is, the easier it is to overclock.
Didn't try over 4GHz due to temperature. Stock Wraith Stealth is good, but it's not a tower.

Hmm..

Never OC on a stock cooler. Just a bad idea around.

It's a decent cooler on a quad core, temps are always low. Up to 1,45v.

 

[lexluthermiester]

That's fair. Still even a CM Hyper212 would be a huge improvement and will allow for good OC's. It will likely remain my go to cooler for Ryzen3.

Even the Spire with the vapor chamber copper core is a decent stock cooler.

I had one, had to sell it because no one sold the AM4 kits for it here. And now they are expensive AF.

 

[Space Lynx]

Not true, most of them could easily get to 4ghz and to 4.1/4.2ghz with voltage bumps.

True.

What do you mean? the max boost was already 3.9ghz for ryzen 2600 and 4.1ghz for 2700x... my point was the overclock past the max boost was never more than 100 mhz in most cases...

 

[lexluthermiester]

Oh right, Argentina. Sorry mate, forgot. Still, there's got to be some decent aftermarket coolers you can get, yes?

What do you mean? the max boost was already 3.9ghz for ryzen 2600 and 4.1ghz for 2700x...

Fair enough. I was usually able to get the Ryzen 7 1xxx to 4.3 and sometimes 4.4 and the Ryzen 7 2xxx to 4.4 and 4.5. Sometimes they needed small voltage bumps, sometimes a bit more. I was of course referring to the lower end Ryzen 3's and 5's. With liquid cooling, it's much easier and all of the Ryzen's OC very well on LQC.
