Finally buildiing a new system ( AM4 )

[tabascosauz]

Memory seems to be holding up at 3600 ( only 2fps in it anyways ), finally got around in trying it. I will just run them at spec. Just wanted to let @theoneandonlymrk know how they are running.

According to Thaiphoon Burner the chips are CJR

Is this 4.2GHz all-core 1.22V just something you've cobbled together for benchmarking, or is it something you run daily?

If the latter is the case, no amount of fast RAM will help the fact you're losing a chunk of single- and lightly-threaded boost. I've not seen a single 3900X that doesn't boost up to at least 4.4GHz on light loads when it's allowed to do its thing.

It's common to come to Ryzen 3000 from something more traditional and go straight to all-core OC either in pursuit of multithreaded e-peen or out of fear from seeing the misleading 1.5V idle, but these chips are far smarter regarding performance, thermals and voltage than they make visible to us. If you want to reap the performance benefits in gaming, you need to let it boost.

Despite the rocky road in the first few months regarding Windows' scheduler and the fact that my 3700X has the absolute worst distribution of best cores you can get (core 0-1-2 are the worst, core 5 and 7 are the best), all my games load the correct cores and boost up close to 4.4GHz on them.

Yes, as part of its design, all-core frequencies will fall to 4.0-4.1GHz without PBO, but I have yet to come across any game that applies all-core 100% load.

See how it goes it's worth running some memory Tests though and if possible monitor your memory temperature for a bit.
Looking good the gain's beyond that are minimal.

TPU's memtest been running for the last 30 or so minutes without issue.

BTW did not change the default timing, just left them as they were with 3200 settings.

I am just fiddling, i know my CPU temps are really good at 4200, and wanted to see what the ram could do as i know the VRM's are far from the best on this mobo too.

Yeah i have noticed the misleading voltages but you can tell they are not true due to the temps as if you force say 1.3-1.4v the temps will be much higher. Like now i have them set to 1.27( stable for 4.2) and it's idling at 32c which were it is on auto too.

Well the more cores i guess the harder it be to get the best cpu.

Planning another part, a new CPU cooler and was interested in getting the Corsair A500 until i noticed all the bad reviews due to the plate and the assassin III i was interested in to but they seem to be hard to get right now at a good price.

So i need to do a little more research on how much space i have but been thinking of getting the NH-D15.

This is due to the temps going up due to summer and it's effecting my GPU temps to much using the stock cooler, i am hoping i can get a fan or 2 fit at the top of the case too which should help the 120mm + 92mm rear fans.
