Neat little tidbit for us nerds. If you were wondering how long it takes to get from tape out to production, someone shaved a Zen 3 die and microscoped it and embedded in the Zen3 die is a copyright of 2019. So a year or more for this part, apparently. https://twitter.com/FritzchensFritz/status/1325500804434972675

movax posted:Has anyone had a Zen 2 (3900X specifically in this case) CPU "die"? Rebuilding a workstation from work where the machine suddenly "died" and the mobo would get stuck on the yellow DRAM light — OK, RAM goes bad sometimes, no problem... replace it. Yeah I had a 3700x die almost right out of the box. If you peep my previous posts in this thread you'll see the details.

It's highly unlikely for most components to fail without cause if they don't do so immediately, but I don't think it's strictly impossible. You could have just been the statistical aberration. RMA regardless, don't admit to turning on XMP.

is there a working discord for catching 5900x restocks? The nvidia one is terrible at catching zen3.

hobbesmaster posted:Ryzen 5 TDP listings have been a bigger lie than most N..no they're not? They list a typical power and a max power and a fully loaded chip never exceeds the max. The only way to hit that is in encoding or 3d rendering stuff. All the measured power benches for the chips have shown them to be within like, 2w of what the rating says they should be.

Been having fun with the 3600 machine this weekend. It's so nice and fast and I will be similarly excited when my 5900x backorder gets fulfilled. If you care for a goofy vid, here's my doing the christening on it tonight on twitch: https://clips.twitch.tv/PluckyArborealKumquatFunRun I did manage to use up almost all my 128GB when I started running filters on a 210,000 x 150,000 Photoshop image

Someone earlier was talking about the CPU refusing to reduce clock speeds when idle. I think it might just have been reporting. I was seeing the same in task manager (and cpu-z), but AMD's own tool reports that it works fine:

I was seeing the same in task manager (and cpu-z), but AMD's own tool reports that it works fine: Zen 2 has a problem with a lot of monitoring software (or monitoring software has a problem with Zen 2...) where it triggers CPU boosting when the CPU isn't actually supposed to be doing anything. Ryzen Master is supposed to be more accurate because it doesn't do that. And apparently Zen 3 is better about this in general.

movax posted:The guy that built this wasn't the sharpest at paying attention. I shared that I typically nudge DDR voltage up for stability with multiple sticks (~1.375 V or so, so nothing egregious whatsoever) so for all I know, maybe he loving ramped it up at some point and murdered the IMC on the CPU. I've had mine at 1.5V for a year , probably should back that off now that I have a Zen 3 CPU to abuse.

Anyone upgrading from a 2600 or 3600 might want more cores while they're at it, while anyone upgrading from a 2700X or 3700X might not want to lose two cores in the upgrade. The 5600X may make sense for a new system but may not be the choice of someone upgrading. But there are probably also way more 5600s than the higher models.

No, just added once on amazon. Though I did notice some discords were pinging way earlier than others. Notably this one started dinging way before the ATR-Grift one (which only pinged for the 5600x) https://discord.gg/yUAk993 The stockdrops one posted nothing about the amazon drop

I have a 3600 with an aftermarket noctua cooler, and a tomahawk max. Is there some non-video guide to getting the best performance? I don't want to push it to the absolute limit but I figure I should try and get an extra 10% if possible. I just ordered a 3080 and I figure I should do that. I also have set my ram to stock I think, not sure if I need to overclock that.

In gaming in particular it can actually reduce performance vs. letting the stock boosting system do its thing. What RAM do you have? If you really want you can go down the rabbit hole of Ryzen memory overclocking and see what that does for your 3dmark Time Spy score or whatever, but if you bought cheap RAM to start with it probably won't do a ton. Sometimes people get lucky though! https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-memory-tweaking-overclocking-guide/ e: If you are running at 1440p ultra settings or 4K, the GPU is going to be the main bottleneck anyway.

sean10mm posted:e: If you are running at 1440p ultra settings or 4K, the GPU is going to be the main bottleneck anyway. The CPU & RAM matter less the higher the resolution. Going to disagree with this as it relates to an RTX 3080: if you're chasing 1440P @ 120+ fps, with a 3080 you are absolutely going to be bottlenecked by single-threaded performance in most games with a ryzen 3600. i can think of very few games where my 3080 GPU utilization is the limiting factor, usually utilization varies from 50% to 80% but I've never had a game use it 100% at 1440p chasing 140 fps whereas the single-threaded performance tends to be maxed out at like say 90-120 fps. but nominally yes, there's little to be gained by OC-ing a Ryzen CPU these days, what comes out of the factory with PBO is about all the juice you're going to get. Just throw on PBO or Auto-Overclocking using Ryzen Master and forget about the CPU side of things. That said, RAM timings are actually important For example, manually setting your ram / overclocking it can have a big performance difference on Zen2, comparing stock timings to manual. https://www.techspot.com/review/1891-ryzen-memory-performance-scaling/

Thanks for the reply https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/bl2k8g32c16u4w I have that ram. I think I put the timings in manually but I can't remember if I tried overclocking it or not. Since it's 3200 should I just set the clock to 3200? Yeah I'm running at 1440p but I want to make sure I'm not leaving any performance on the table. I was reading an article about how CPU still matters and can make a 10-15% difference at that resolution anyway, which is not nothing.

Man it's tempting to pick something up. This chip is to DDR4 what sandy bridge-to-haswell was to DDR3. Part of the longevity of that system is explained by how easy it's been to find DDR3 ram. When memory fabs, intel, AMD all switch over to DDR5, Zen2 and 3 will forever be the quickest chips to pair with all the world's DDR4. Maybe in five years I'll grab one of your old systems... this ivy bridge is just as fast as it was on the day I got it

I've noticed my benchmarks come out lower if I am running Ryzen Master. Consistently and noticeably. Is that likely just the extra overhead of having another application running? I have boost set to automatic in the BIOS, so it seems like Ryzen Master is a tad redundant.

I bought 32gb of 3200 MHz Crucial RAM, is this good or bad for a 5900? I know there was a lot of memory talk but I didn't really keep up with it. I could still return this and pick up something else if there is much room for improvement.
