My 3600 I think never get to 4.2. The best it can do is 4.1 but with 1.450v which is quite alarming. Stock cooler. I dont want to tinker with OC setting as PC sometimes refuse to boot, requiring manual power kill to do so. Still on 1A bios for this b450 tomahawk.

ANy of you experience 'normal' performance with bios 1B version?

Derbaur loves pulling a blanket over himself. There is one problem - the labeling of cores. Almost 3 months ago, I notified AMD that most processors will not reach their maximum boost for a number of reasons. The update that the community will receive in a week partially solves these shortcomings.

I will explain in brief what is happening. ASICs for each core are defined at the factory. The goal of successful cores is to achieve a certain frequency within the FIT, which is in the region of 1.487 volts for a low current load. The stability of the system is monitored by Clock Stretcher technology and AVFS, which automatically adjusts the real core frequency depending on the information received from dozens of sensors. If we try to load an unsuccessful core - it will not get the maximum frequency, we will get a bottleneck by current, voltage or temperature. Most processors of the Zen + and Zen 2 generation have non-optimal core markings.
As an example, I will show you the results of testing my own instances of 2700X, 3700X and 3900X.

Guys,

Is this a good purchase?

Bro, Can elaborate more? What your mean good used condition?

Checked the recent price list the cpu alone close to RM850 and Crosshair at 1.2K?

This pwp only priced at 1.7k. Saved RM300?

Do recommend if you have better bargain. Thanks.

Still on non-official BIOS right? Some of the reddit users using Beta ABBA BIOS already reporting it achieved boost clock. For now better wait for AMD official response..

Motherboard makers also needs to do internal testing too.

Gigabyte is quiet so far.

Well my RAM model wast in the QVL list but from what i have checked all A-DATA ram in the QVL supports 4 DIMM config

+

some other brand RAM in the QVL list that also uses the same H5AN8G8NCJR-VKC (Hynix CJR) DRAM Part Number supports 4 DIMM config as well. 

Isn't the cache rumored to have been reduced to 16MB on this?

AMD Ryzen 5 3400G  (There is 2nd and 3rd Generations ... any different? Any advise, thanks

L3 cache is not.
They can fuse it off and it does take die area. But if yield is good, they'll just turn off smt.

Most probably the fact that TSMC is having some supply issues

the thing is we don even know what kind of feature can the b550 chipset offer over b450 , since the x570 major different is PCIE gen4

hopefully is not a re branding of the b450 to b550

my problem is the spikes aka boost clocks plus high voltages tends to be at 70% of the time. It caught my attention because my fan kept spinning at max speed even from just web browsing with music player playing at the background without monitoring tools... seems like the processor is going at 60C+ with such minor tasks because that's where i set my fan to go 90%. (These slim 80mm delta high RPM fans are no joke in terms of loudness too )

The idle and cores going to sleep only seem to happen when i turn off everything and stare at the desktop wallpaper.

I've got no choice put to set the processor max speed to 99% in power management. meaning it will never boost and that drops the temp by 10-15C  but i lose out on the performance spec from the boost. This is really tough..... plus i dont think this is the right behavior for the core clock mapping.

yup 3600 luckily i didnt go for 3700x knowing the temps on the 3600. cooler is NHL9A which is the only cooler that fits in my super tiny ITX case. I guess i'll just have to live with it without boost... 

Well it's not like as if I can feel that it's significantly slower for daily use without the boost.... Just that it's a little bit irritating that you're not utilizing its full potential. Sommore the max load is 75C only. The only problem is with web browsing temps tend to remain at 60 ish because it's boosting. Meanwhile intel would stay at 1+ Ghz only.

Hopefully amd will one day fix their clock stepping based on CPU utilization a little better

Need help with cross hair hero 8 bios update

3800x
16gb trident z neo
CH8

Flashback failed (steady blue light, usb2)
Ez something in bios update, (file not bios), over internet (stuck at 8%)
Tried rename bios file to CH8.Cap and without renaming.
Ez update in windows, managed to get it updated to 802. The program doesn't see 902.

Any ideas?

BTW, I dunno if I'm reading it wrong, but in hwinfo all cores max out at 4.397 considered not too bad right? Advertised boost at 4.5.

hi, my gigabyte x570 aorus pro wifi arrived and the mobo came with bios version F2, website listed F3 is the initial version. is my board pre-production beta testing board??

i then flash f6b via qflash but system having weird behavior, i have trident z neo 3600 ram and XMP enabled in bios already but go in windows cpuz showing 2133 only and back bios check and XMP still enabled

then my cinibench r20 is quite low too, im getting only like 4300+, im using 3700x.

is mobo issue or ram issue?

i not sure if latest driver installed. i installed a free driver sw and just run to update all driver. is there another way to get these chipset updated?

i notice another thing, if i stick ram to A2 & B2 then XMP works but not A1 & B1..why ah? mobo issue?
