Whats up yall. I need some guidance. I have a i7 9700f on a Gigabyte B365M Ds3H WiFi board. Air cooled. And im noticing that under really no load is the only time my cpu is running at 4.5, As soon as i open up cinebench and start a multi-core run the clock drops to 3.5 or so SOLID and the usage shoots straight up to 100. Temps arent realy an issue as it sits at about 59-60 under load steady.

#

Or so i think, I dont have any form of heatsink on the VRMs so idk if thats causing the issue i havent really changed to much in the bios as i dont know where to single out the issue and all windows power settings are set correctly

elfin warren Dec 27, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

Oof

#

I'd try the BIOS settings a bit more then

#

And honestly, that ram is overkill for an AMD system. 3600 C16 or 3200 C14 is the sweet spot

#

If you make the ram faster, you have to desync with the FCLK which makes things actually slower

@hidden cobalt well on intel it goes Z>B>H

they bring diffrent things to the table but since it is such an old chipset just get the Z they are similar prices at this point. dont worry, older i7s still pack a punch.

wind karma Dec 28, 2020, 4:08 AM

even one more 2666mhz stick will be a big improvement

#

dual channel will give a decent boost to cpu performance

Dual channel and faster memory will really benefit, could be a 10+ fps increase depending. And with dual channel it'll increase even more

proven lynx Dec 28, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

It's decently better than the 3200G (which is now like $200 again? Something like that) so I guess if you need an APU it works, shame tho

#

Check your MOBO's QVL for the best matches for your RAM BTW, may even be able to find a good price on RAM at faster frequency that works

Timings matter

#

3200c16 has the same tCL in ns as 3600c18

raw abyss Dec 28, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

If the 16gb 3600mhz kit is a lot more expensive than the 16gb 3200mhz kit then I wouldn't

#

But the price nowadays between those is isn't that big

#

Also what cpu do you have? Intel or amd?

noble geode Dec 28, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

It’s like 4 more dollars

#

I have a 1050ti and a ryzen 1600 AF

raw abyss Dec 28, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

Well the zen architecture for ryzen takes advantage of high speed ram

noble geode Dec 28, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

So it’s better to get the 3600

raw abyss Dec 28, 2020, 8:44 PM

If its only $4 more yes

noble geode Dec 28, 2020, 8:44 PM

hollow thorn Dec 28, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

Uh

#

I don't think a 1600af is going to like 3600mhz

#

I think it might still have 1st gen IMC

noble geode Dec 28, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

Then what do I get

elfin warren Dec 28, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

Yeah

#

1st gen won't do that

raw abyss Dec 28, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

My bad, didn't know that

hollow thorn Dec 28, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

Just get 3200mhz cl16

noble geode Dec 28, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

Ok

raw abyss Dec 28, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

Was the other 3600mhz kit cl18?

#

Thats probably why the price difference was not that big

noble geode Dec 28, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

Oh ok

#

So I get the 3200

raw abyss Dec 28, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

Yes

#

Then its pointless do get high speed ram for 1st gen ryzen

There is only 3000 and 3600 now

raw abyss Dec 28, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

There are other brands like corsair and g skill that have 3200mhz cl16 kits

noble geode Dec 28, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

Ok

#

Ok I got the corsair

bold hedge Dec 28, 2020, 8:53 PM

hey so is it ok to mix RAM brands and different frequencies? Like if I have a crucial 2666 and a Corsair 3000 could I use them both on the same PC?

noble geode Dec 28, 2020, 8:53 PM

But I can upgrade my cpu later on right?

@bold hedge compatibility might be weird, and ram will run at the lowest speed of any kit.

so itll run at 2666 then?

hollow thorn Dec 28, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

You'll get support up to Zen 2 for sure, Zen 3 support is iffy.

#

It might, or it won't boot, that's the compatibility being weird bit.

raw abyss Dec 28, 2020, 8:57 PM

You would have to get the upcoming bios update for a b450 before you try and put a zen 3 chip in there

hollow thorn Dec 28, 2020, 8:57 PM

@raw abyss not for certain

#

Some boards just won't get the beta bios

#

All up to the manufacturer if they want to give their b450 boards Zen 3 support

raw abyss Dec 28, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

Depends on what b450 you have?

raw abyss Dec 28, 2020, 8:58 PM

Up to zen 2 but zen 3 is not for sure yet

so that ones alright right?

which would u recommend?

any brand works

I use an x299 dark because it was 170 new, vrm is plenty for 18 cores on ln2

@mild jackal sorry to ping you but youve become my go to guy lmao

#

in terms of this mobo i bought it and now I need a case

#

I currently have a 680x which is an atx case

#

on pcpartpicker it says that an eatx board will fit in this case

#

that doesnt seem right to me, will it actually fit?

Try searching pcpartpicker's completed builds database for x case and y mobo

it was 400 dollars in perfect condition

no one is going to know when your specific mobo was produced, so can't be sure what bios your board will be running

#

In case the mobo’s current firmware doesn’t support the CPU, would it still post so I can update the firmware? It wasn’t possible many years back

vivid pewter Dec 29, 2020, 9:00 AM

#

From my experience, if the mobo does not have the bios to support the cpu then it would not boot. Hence why they created bios flashing capabilities without a cpu needed.

Do you want to Overclock, what are you doing with the system, what GPU is being paired with the system, will you be streaming? Sure we can say iX-XXXX is better but what the user will be doing is more important than what CPU is objectivley better.

10700 (none K)
Z490 MSI Gaming Plus
32GB 3200
(£570/$660)

OR

3700x
B550 TOMAHAWK
32GB 3200
(£545/$655)

Paired with a 3070 (mainly used for gaming 1440P)

vernal apex Dec 29, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

Will you be streaming?

#

@soft magnet

#

The i7-10700 will have around 10% more FPS (without GPU) compared to the R7 3700x. Intel is generally used more when your strictly gaming but the R7 3700x is better when it comes to programs like CAD.

The main difference comes down to the motherboard the R7 3700x works perfectly fine with a cheap $80 motherboard while the i7-10700 even for the chepest LGA 1200 motherboard is around $150 the last time I checked.

naive pendant Dec 29, 2020, 3:17 PM

Anyone know how the 3700x overclocks? Are you able to get a significant gain from it or just a couple frames

Are you using a dedicated GPU? If so then your not going to get a lot more out of it unless the game is a CPU demanding game

elfin warren Dec 29, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

3700x doesn't have an integrated gpu so........

vernal apex Dec 29, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

Nvm I just can't think today I'm thinking of the G series from AMD which have their own APUs. So then on my earlier point no your not going to get much more FPS unless its a CPU demanding game

naive pendant Dec 29, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

Ok lemme rephrase

#

How much extra performance would I be able to squeeze out of a 3700x

elfin warren Dec 29, 2020, 3:58 PM

Not much. Turn PBO on and kinda forget about it. It doesn't OC well.

Hello folks, I am building a new PC for my daughter. I have a B550 mobo, 16GB Patriot Viper 3600mhz ram, 500GB 970 EVO Plus, and a case. (dont remember which). I need to decide on a CPU and GPU otherwise a G series CPU. I was considering the 3400g, but they are out of stock or way overpriced right now so I am leanign towards a lower tier GPU and a lower tier ryzen CPU. Anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate the help! Trying to stay around ~$400 US

vernal apex Dec 29, 2020, 6:24 PM

unreal solar would a 9400f bottleneck 1070 ti

Answer is yes and no. It's pretty much impossible to have a system with 0% bottleneck so the PCMR community has pretty much said anything over 10% is considered a bottleneck. With the listed specs I would assume around a 4% @ 1080p, 2% @ 1440p, and 0% - 1% @ 2160p (4k)

What was ur old one?

jagged remnant Dec 30, 2020, 5:21 AM

Hmm

#

The cpu is capable of more than the 610 but that is pretty far gone

#

A new-ish one might be better

jagged remnant Dec 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

i was planning for,
cpu: i7-3770

Uncheck the Maximum memory box

? Is it not a bios issue? I assumed it was because it was also running way slower than it should

Stand by

alright then, its unfortunate, but the best my cpu can handle anyhow is 2933, so theres not a huge different between 2666 and 2933 ig

Hopefully the update should get this all going nicely

elfin warren Dec 30, 2020, 5:48 PM

THis time just let it do it's thing until you get back to the POST screen

Once you get back to POST enter the BIOS again to be sure it stuck

Definitely should do that, yes.
