#

check asus' website of the b450 f can flash the bios without an older cpu

candid vale Nov 5, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

ok

tough wyvern Nov 5, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

Since I had to ordered a 3600 I guess I can just do it the normal way now lol

vast granite Nov 5, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

True you just gonna return it afterwards

tough wyvern Nov 5, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

The 3600?

vast granite Nov 5, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

Or I saw someone mention something about a loaner system

tough wyvern Nov 5, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

No, since I don't know how long the 5900 will take to get here I just need something in that system.

vast granite Nov 5, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

Fair enough

tough wyvern Nov 5, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

Once the 5900 is here I'll buy an ITX board for it and replace the guts of my home "server"

vast granite Nov 5, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

Nice plan

tough wyvern Nov 5, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

Right now it has an awful little intel chip in it

#

a 3600 will be like an x5 increase.

#

I might throw a GPU in there too and turn it into an emulation box for my TV

vast granite Nov 5, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

I feel that I need to check what my performance would increase from my laptop to the 5600 I ordered

tough wyvern Nov 5, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

5900 is not on passmark yet so I don't know about current PC to that.

#

but like, for reference.

vast granite Nov 5, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

let me check if its on a site a friend recommended

tough wyvern Nov 5, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

even from my current PC to the 3600 it's going from 9767 CPU Mark to 17859....

does anyone know a good amd mobo under 120 that supports the 3600 out of the box?

But I doubt we'll see those for a bit 😦

@viral nebula I havnt seen them but it should be between the 10900k and 5950x

@candid vale not sure about out of the box but majority of MSI boards can be updated without having a placeholder cpu

6800XT is the better choice since it's cheaper than it's competitor (3080)

I am comparing 3070 vs 6800

I just read that the 5000 series is not compatible with the B550 board until the BIOS update comes?

XT is not much more expensive than the non-XT one and it's much more performant

I just read that the 5000 series is not compatible with the B550 board until the BIOS update comes?
@stark laurel no, that's for B450

only boards getting printed in the last week or two will have support

if I get my mobo in the mail and it doesn't have the latest bios flashed am I screwed? lol

vendors dont keep a gazillion boards in stock if they can avoid it

tight sparrow Nov 5, 2020, 5:05 PM

You can see the scratch right?

I can actually

going to want to drill that out from the bottom

@spring scarab could you take a picture of the screwdriver head you started with?

Not at the moment

@pastel monolith no need for that. tiny drill from the top, hex bit pressed into the drill hole.

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

there is a chance that the techs at the local store have have a "flat" philips head screwdriver/bit that can do the trick as the screw is right now

#

because there IS a tiny bit of thread left at the bottom

#

@spring scarab however. PLEASE dont try and fix that yourself

spring scarab Nov 5, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

Yeah I can’t do that lol

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 5:25 PM

also a dremel and a flat head could take care of it

lol well it is only a screw

spring scarab Nov 5, 2020, 5:26 PM

It’s an impenetrable barrier without professional help at this point

#

And represents a potential 200 dollar loss

#

Along with time and stress

#

I spent hours on this rather than enjoying building the rest

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

think about how many stripped screws the wright brothers went through before they were the first men to fly

spring scarab Nov 5, 2020, 5:27 PM

Yeah

#

True dat

#

No pain no gain

But also I can’t afford another mobo

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 5:27 PM

the mobo is fine

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

@spring scarab the following will not feel like a comfort. However. it is on you for not stopping at the first "skip" of the screwdriver.

#

and as i said, the scratch is NOT a problem

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

the only loss is going to be that screw

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 5:28 PM

aye

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 5:28 PM

that screw is done

@spring scarab the following will not feel like a comfort. However. it is on you for not stopping at the first "skip" of the screwdriver.
@gritty meadow I agree I should’ve been more careful but also that screw was different then the other 3

easy 5600x purchase today. In the UK so bought from scan electronics, they are even sending free thermal paste (2g of Arctic MX-4) and a free face mask/ covering

spring scarab Nov 5, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

I’m worried after moving it around and repacking it I might’ve plucked a pin or two by getting them snagged on my shirt, this mobo just feels like a really sketchy thing to me now

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

yeah you could just grab a cheap cooler that uses the brackets and leave them there

spring scarab Nov 5, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

I’m also literally on a 2 hour journey to return it already

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

@spring scarab if you had come into any shop i have worked in, i would have fixed that for you for free. Simply because it looks like a "comedy of bad luck and statistics"

tight sparrow Nov 5, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

well from the top you can put a small drill hole and they have backup drillbits you could use to get it out too

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

@tight sparrow all of which was said earlier :)

tight sparrow Nov 5, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

ah ok

#

ooooorr if you get the access off and pull the mount bracket then u got full play at gripping it

silent sandal Nov 5, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

So even with 3600x at $200 and the 3600 at $190, the increased speeds isn’t worth the extra $10?

tight sparrow Nov 5, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

if your pushing numbers sure, i dont think worth it otherwise

spring scarab Nov 5, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

I think the 3600x comes with a cooler That works w the bracket a

#

Big plus!

silent sandal Nov 5, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

3600 also has a cooler

spring scarab Nov 5, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

Yeah the one you have to remove brackets for

#

Wish I shelled out the 20

tight sparrow Nov 5, 2020, 5:35 PM

yea but ive known ppl with and they say it runs quite hott still

#

noctua all the way, n that sucker will be silent lol

spring scarab Nov 5, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

I wish they’d either include one worth a damn or just not

#

I would’ve bought a normal one

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

it is worth a damn.

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

lol tbh it is

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

because it actually keeps the cpu from throttling

#

unlike the intel counterpart

tight sparrow Nov 5, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

if you are content w/ it, no headroom though

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

not the context of the comment @tight sparrow

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

it is also FREE

vast granite Nov 5, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

If you don't have another it's better than nothing

#

So like me I have nothing so not having to spend money right away to cool my cpu is nice

tight sparrow Nov 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

of course

spring scarab Nov 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

It’d be nice if they pick a lane on their brackets design

#

And having to uninstall things added for convenience for other products is just a hassle

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

trust me: i think their take is this: It would be nice if the users actually used proper screwdrivers :P

spring scarab Nov 5, 2020, 5:39 PM

I know amd doesn’t make the boards but there’s gotta be coordination

samsung for nvidia (for the consumer chips at the moment)

#

TSMC for nvidia server GPU's

#

meaning, not relevant for the consumers at all

#

TSMC for AMD for consumer chips

#

the upcoming finance call from nvidia will shed some light on where the bottleneck is currently. IF its samsung or if its nvidia

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 6:56 PM

they make an idea

late pine Nov 5, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

I mean how could they be the limiting factor of producting

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

you are misunderstanding that sentence of mine @late pine

#

choice

#

and underestimating things

#

their design not scaling as well as they wanted/dreamed

late pine Nov 5, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

even if they know demand exceed supply doesn't mean they shouldn't release it

#

at least some people have them instead of none

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

you cannot "just" make more.

#

it takes a silly long time to actually release a chip

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

Or like say I make cars I only want to make as many cars as I can sell not have a bunch of cars sitting not selling

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

and i am talking about the actual production here

#

not the design phase, because that is multiple times longer ofc :)

late pine Nov 5, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

I'm saying I don't know what you mean by the bottleneck being nvidia

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

IF nvidia didnt order enough chips

late pine Nov 5, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

lmao Nvidia literally printing money rn

#

they probably orderd as many as possible

pastel monolith Nov 5, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

no as many as they thought they could sell....

late pine Nov 5, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

they knew they would sell a lot

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

OR if nvidia made a design that is "wishfull" thinking in relation to what is actually possible to make on the node that samsung has

#

its not about money @late pine

#

its about capacity and production times

@naive pendant we wont know until some point in january 2021

late pine Nov 5, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

yeah nvidia probably wanted more capacity for launch but the yeilds were too bad

gritty meadow Nov 5, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

that is just pure speculation.

#

so as i said, the finance call will give some info on it

#

also, there is that little "detail" of nvidia pushing their chips WAY beyond sane levels of voltage to hit their desired clock speeds

yes, thats the reddit source. but where is the actual source?

fx, if i wanted to link to the source of the public GPU numbers we know of: https://www.proshop.de/RTX-30series-overview <- that would be the link

prolly better off with 3600 or 3200 cas 14, very small difference

#

i read the sweet spot for new ryzens was 4000

hollow thorn Nov 5, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

(we really mean by if the IF can hold up at 1:1)

#

Haven't see actual testing on it yet, but I'll come back if I see anything solid on specifics

#

(ram freq benefits for new chips)

autumn kindle Nov 5, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

is the speed or the cas more important?

prisma nymph Nov 5, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

3200 cas 16 iis pretty equal to 3600 cas 18

hollow thorn Nov 5, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

We'd have to see, for Ryzen, how it worked for Zen 2 was you get the most performance by getting the IF to the highest freq you can, matching that with your ram on 1:1 mode, and then tightening timings.

prisma nymph Nov 5, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

not sure how cpus will benefit differently

hollow thorn Nov 5, 2020, 8:12 PM

Timings usually matter a bit less.

im guessing hgher freq is usually what matters foor cpus

It’ll probably get cheaper in a bit, but as of right now it’s a bit too high

Question, what happens to a SHARED PCIe Gen4.0 slot like the main graphics slot that is shared with the second one, if i have Gen 4.0 graphics card in it, but in the shared slot i have gen 3.0 card [capture card], does it clock down the graphics card to gen 3.0 too?

fallen lynx Nov 5, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

i think 3800Mhz RAM is the highest that makes sense for AMD, since it seems infinity fabric can't go any higher than 1900

hollow thorn Nov 5, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

Like GDM let's you do 1t at higher freq, but require I think tRCWR to be even

#

@arctic ravine what mobo, and why are you using a capture card with a PCIe 4.0 gpu..?

arctic ravine Nov 5, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

Capture card is for consoles

#

Mobo in theory MSI Godlike, x570, its the only one that suits my needs

hollow thorn Nov 5, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Lmao alright then

#

Shouldn't be shared, lemme see

modest ice Nov 5, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

I think it splits the lanes 8x/8x instead of 16x

arctic ravine Nov 5, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

I have GPU 3090 + Optane x4 + Capture card x4 + 10G card x4, so only Godlike has 4 slots

#

It splits x8/x4/x4 + x4 [chipset]

What i want to know if my 3090 wont be downclocked to x8 Gen 3.0 due to all otehr devices being gen 3.0

hollow thorn Nov 5, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

Everything should be on gen 4

wispy jetty Nov 5, 2020, 8:23 PM

hollow thorn Nov 5, 2020, 8:23 PM

X570 has gen 4 chipset lanes

modest ice Nov 5, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

I think it may go to 3.0

#

If the bus is shared

arctic ravine Nov 5, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

Yeah, but when you plug Gen 3.0 device it runs in gen 3.0 mode

@modest ice yep, that what i want to be sure 100%, if it goes to gen 3.0 due to shared bus it wont work

hollow thorn Nov 5, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

Oh well

modest ice Nov 5, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

If you want to be sure 100% you're probably going to want to field test it

#

So fige out the effect of 8x 3.0 on your 3090 is

#

And see if you can replicate it

#

With the other devices

arctic ravine Nov 5, 2020, 8:25 PM

Im afraid that getting next TR will be even MORE expesnive then the one I have, and getting godlike + 5950x will be Cheaper then new 24 core TR and when i sell my old parts it will be "free"

Could AMD’s Smart Access Memory be the secret sauce of Big Navi?

@late pine its not a better cpu overall thats for sure but it does have better single clock speeds

#

10900k loses in single core performance

I think a 3090 will pull about 1-5 more fps with the higher clock speeds
