Hi all I'm going to upgrade to one of the 3000 series CPU's. I think I got confused as I thought the 3900x was a TR4 socket lol. I kept thinking 12/24 and thought it was based on Threadripper. To confirm the 3900x will go in the x470 motherboard with the new BIOS? Thanks. ------------- x470 Taichi v5.10 5800X3D (Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B) G.SKILL Flare X Series (8GBx4) 32GB 3200 CL14 970 Evo 1TB+SK Hynix 2TB PNY RTX 4070 Super SoundBlaster AE-7 EVGA 850W Platinum LG WH16NS40 AOC Q24G2A |

Thanks a lot. I seen the surprise 3950x at the end of AMD's E3 event. $749 a bit to expensive. I will settle on the 3900x ^_^ ------------- x470 Taichi v5.10 5800X3D (Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B) G.SKILL Flare X Series (8GBx4) 32GB 3200 CL14 970 Evo 1TB+SK Hynix 2TB PNY RTX 4070 Super SoundBlaster AE-7 EVGA 850W Platinum LG WH16NS40 AOC Q24G2A |

thats considered cheap if you compare whats in the market and 2 3800X cost $798 2 3800x cost $658 i'm surely getting the 3950X for stream purposes stremaing at 1440p drops me below my screens native refresh rate :P -------------

One more thing, since 3rd gen Ryzen supports faster ram will this board support DDR4-3600 and DDR4-3733 with the new BIOS updates? https://images.anandtech.com/doci/14525/TravisK_DonW-Next_Horizon_Gaming-Ryzen_Deep_Dive_06092019-page-017_575px.jpg ------------- x470 Taichi v5.10 5800X3D (Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B) G.SKILL Flare X Series (8GBx4) 32GB 3200 CL14 970 Evo 1TB+SK Hynix 2TB PNY RTX 4070 Super SoundBlaster AE-7 EVGA 850W Platinum LG WH16NS40 AOC Q24G2A |

| The board itself should be able to handle mem speeds around 3700, even with 4 sticks. |

Oh ok good to hear thank you. I will most likely upgrade my 3200 to 3600 or 3733 ------------- x470 Taichi v5.10 5800X3D (Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B) G.SKILL Flare X Series (8GBx4) 32GB 3200 CL14 970 Evo 1TB+SK Hynix 2TB PNY RTX 4070 Super SoundBlaster AE-7 EVGA 850W Platinum LG WH16NS40 AOC Q24G2A |

If you have decent B-die chips you can even OC them to 3600 as I did with some of mine. These Flare X are mofo beasts! I even tightened some of the sub-timings, thanks to the AMD mem calc by 1usmus. |

Yes I do have them: G.SKILL Flare X Series. I was never a fan of OC, doesn't OC always shorten the lifespan of a product no matter how cool it runs? Being it RAM, CPU, GPU. ------------- x470 Taichi v5.10 5800X3D (Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B) G.SKILL Flare X Series (8GBx4) 32GB 3200 CL14 970 Evo 1TB+SK Hynix 2TB PNY RTX 4070 Super SoundBlaster AE-7 EVGA 850W Platinum LG WH16NS40 AOC Q24G2A |

never believe on shortening a lifespan of a part and i overclock hard but this generation i didnt bother because its already doing it on its on and if you dont tweak it it runs on 1.5V max -------------

I am not a fan of OC either, but it's practically a free upgrade with these kits, and they are rock-solid 24/7. You can easily save a few hundred bucks by not buying new RAM. As for OC being harmful to the chips, it's not. It's the voltage (and amps, respectively) that kills them. Keep the voltage in check and all should be fine. More so, Flare X are backed by a lifetime warranty. You don't basically lose anything! |

Thanks all so I guess I will OC to 3600mhz or if the ram can go to 3733mhz it would be nice. :D I'll do this when I buy the 3900x. I also read the 3.43 BIOS has issues with Windows not booting and 3.40 is more stable , and both support the 3000 series. ------------- x470 Taichi v5.10 5800X3D (Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B) G.SKILL Flare X Series (8GBx4) 32GB 3200 CL14 970 Evo 1TB+SK Hynix 2TB PNY RTX 4070 Super SoundBlaster AE-7 EVGA 850W Platinum LG WH16NS40 AOC Q24G2A |

There is at least a month more before you could score a Zen 2 CPU. I bet there will be at least 1 more BIOS version before that happens, and one more, shortly after. Now is a good time to strat reading how to use all the tools required for a proper OC, and start practicing. You should be able to reach 3400-3600 even now, if all is done as it should. |
