Who's ready for the new incoming AMD CPU/GPU hardware?

[chew*]

Got a 3900X open box at Micro Center last month for $340. Not a great chip but stable at 4450/4300 CCD1/2 at 1.306v, 1900 FCLK 1.12v SoC with a 360mm MSI AIO. CCX0/1 are equal and CCX2/3 are equal, can't get 25 MHz higher on any of them. Runs like 4525 in single thread loads stock / with PBO on so OC was worth it, the ST performance is basically the same. I guess I could have tried RMA for not hitting boost at all but

Posted on reddit because I was bored and some people went nuts and called me an idiot / CPU murderer for using 1.3v so I just deleted the thread and moved on.

Still waiting on ASUS reference 6800XT to ship, ordered from ProVantage on 25th, no estimated ship date. Might end up trying to snag a 3070 or 3080 instead if I don't get a ship date soon.

the PBO for single core on 3000 is highly dependent on cooling solution and highly dependent on application. CB single for example don't expect miracles. even 32m pi don't expect miracles. 8m pi yes you can catch the speeds in Hardware info with the refresh speed set to the fastest setting and sometimes catch in in AOD.

With 5000 series chips you don't need voodoo magic to catch peak PBO clock speeds in monitoring programs. They are more than happy to boost to those speeds quite often.

I haven't spent a ton of time yet on the hardware but so far i see a trend with temps vs RT on off. example godfall/dirt 5 run RT and I'm seeing 80c avg where as in pure rasterization i see 74c avg temps.
