  1. preliminary synthetic testing sees about 14-15% single core performance increase from my older 2700X (OC @ 4.2 Ghz all core) compared to the new 3900X (stock+undervolted @ 1.35V). Multicore gets a MASSIVE 66% improvement. Clocks vary between 3 GHZ and 4.525 Ghz. I also noticed that indeed the 2 chiplets boost differently. One goes up to 4.525 Ghz and the other one stays 4.2-4.3 Ghz.
  2. I did just swap the BIOS prior to CPU swap but forgot to remove AMD drivers and ran into problems on windows boot. Had to boot in safe mode and uninstall. Then it started normally. Now I'm trying to settle Infinity fabric with memory clocks (1800/3600Mhz). Temperatures are SCARY. Idle around 50C, haven't dared running benchmarks yet. CPU boost goes to 4500Mhz single core and 4150Mhz all-core. But once in cinebench I believe this will be lower when using AVX.
  3. going to get my CPU today :) Tests maybe next weekend. EDIT: got it! now testing the old CPU then will install the new one.
  4. that was international airspace and there are rules to be followed. If they are followed then it is nobody's business to criticize.
  5. I got news and I should get my 3900X tuesday to test in the weekend. :) Also, just for FYI some reviewers mentioned the 2 chiplets on the 3900X are from different bins and you better off not overclocking locked all core because your limited to the lowest one. The secret to optimize performance for 3000 series is to get the highest memory speed with the lowest timings at the same time the infinity fabric is synchronized for same clock.
  6. The F-16 will see accelerated retirement phase after 2030. Anyone retaining their planes will see degraded support and flight readiness. That's just 10 years from now, everyone should be with new fighter tender by now.
  7. dont they wear gloves in flight? that must have been the crew chief.
  8. news report of the local navy dusting off their old weapons. :D Rare images of SeaSparrow being used both against drones and ships. ioj0Z6Da97w
  9. I thought Gigabyte boards are the best ones right now. Your opinions?
  10. Boost speeds is borked on most if not all boards requiring workarounds (none that I know for this board). So yeah we need fixed BIOSes. Glad to hear its working for you, as I have the same board. :) (BTW CPU is not here yet) Also you might be able to set your RAM at 3600 CL16 and infinity at 1800 to sync CPU and RAM for best performance.
  11. yes SSD's can do multiple reads/writes concurrently without loosing speed.
  12. See my first post here to locate the list. You can avoid alot of headaches if you avoid buying a random kit.
  13. Yeah, good choice of motherboards to have the BIOS flash button. Just make sure the RAM kit is in the Qualified kits for that motherboard and that it can reach 3200Mhz stock (3600 optimal). See below and click "compatibility" and then select Matisse ridge: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-GAMING-PLUS.html#support-mem-19
  14. you need VRAM first at those resolutions, and then you should choose GPU second. The 5700XT is a mid tier card with just 8GB of VRAM. This also excludes the 2080. Realistically there are only 4 cards capable you should choose: Radeon VII 1080Ti 2080Ti Titan RTX
  15. Thinking getting a virpil base for my warthog grip.
  16. Strange? No. It's an AMD launch with the usual train wreck. :D There are no good BIOSes yet either. Installing the new CPU right now is a gamble.
  17. My order is not thru, and something tells me the 3900X model will be in short supply for a while.
  18. heavy simulations have a different behavior and tax system resources different from those shooters in all the benchmarks. I bet DCS will benufit more from the added cache and the new floating point bandwidth.
  19. The BIOS is to blame. The CH6 support page has serious ommissions. This board will taken any 3000 cpu including 16 core providing the BIOS works. I'll provide proof later.
  20. FPS numbers are meaningless for games with dated engines that go up in hundreds of FPS in single core anyway.
