Zen3 is competitive against Rocket Lake but Alder Lake is coming by second half of 2021 with DDR5 and PCIe5 while Zen4 has no news yet... Also, Intel does not have supply issues at TSMC while AMD can't even meet demand. If this continues, Intel will regain market share.

Gaming at 4k TV on DMC 5 cause cpu reach 91C stabilize.
This kind of temp damn long never see. 5900X on 240AIO really kenot 
meanwhile gpu steady at 65-70C.

at least the 750w can handle both on uni heaven and valley + gaming for now.
best upgrade combo ever i had done in a while.

some 700-800 z490 had bot bad vrms like the msi z490 a pro, also one model of gigabyte z490 but i forgot which model.

And since it's z490 it's easy to set any power limit that you want anyways.

hi i am using ryzen 7 3700x, my game alot instance,open until 10 will start lag d hmm

I was playing COD cold war when it happened. There was no sudden drop in framerate nor did the game crash. I just decided to check event viewer now and the error is reported there.

cstkl1 would like to have a word

Strix-E pricing is kinda ruined in Malaysia though.

Z490-E is priced to go against Aorus Ultra in US, but in Malaysia it's just a bit short of Aorus Master pricing.
B550-E is priced to go against B550 Aorus Master in US, but here's it's price closely matches the X570 Aorus Master instead.

As for B550-I, it doesn't look anything special compared to the X570-I variant - I would have bought it without thinking if it just copied the X570-I's feature set and added a USB-C front port header.

Asus BIOS ain't that well laid out too anyways, at least as far as their ROG boards are concerned. Sub menus after sub menus.

Things you change in the "Tweaker" menu does not get applied unless you also change them in the AMD PBS menus. Lol.

Found and updated to 20H2 which is on another menu that i had to click to download, not at “check for updates”.

Yep the DAC im using was SMSL M3. No issues running on my macbook on both OSX and Bootcamp. Just this AMD rig that keeps on giving me surprises after every attempt to fix it.

Currently trying my luck to get a 3950x........

Any particular issues that I need to know before I get one Zen 2?

So now it's not the CPU problem but mobo chipset?
Lucky too also still using X470

If due to Agesa then problem will not be limited to only b550/x570.

Blindly attacking is as bad as blindly defending.

"If due to Agesa then problem will not be limited to only b550/x570."

Now I tak paham content? Ok
Like I said, anyone can complain.

Yes ryzen tends to semi idle at much higher voltage than it loads. The argument behind it was to be able to allow it to boost on demand very quickly from a sleep state and not suffer instability or crashing. While at high loads, the cpu can lock into fix frequency so it can drop into a lower voltage and sustain at the voltage efficiency because it is no longer boosting up and down.

In full idle/standby however, it will drop down to 0.9v and enter a sleep state. but a simple interrupt such as a mouse movement will make it spike up to 1.4v in a short burst.

Thanks to that, ryzen have higher idles. And it is by design.. so i guess there will be no such thing as a fix.

Hi all AMD sifu here. I been using amd 5 3700x with Asus ROG Strix x570 for almost 2year. For 3700x the most i hate is the temperature but finally i manage to get an AIO last year Corsair H115i capellix which full load doesn't reach above 80c. Since i never use intel before, from AMD K6-2 -> Athlon64 -> Phenom then FX8350 finally jump to the 3700x. 3700x performance is really good for my daily productivity and very light gaming. From last year MCO till today my daily productivity in a day cut short maybe only 20-30%, gaming 10-20% and the rest of time watch drama/movie/surf. Still using my 3years RX570 8GB   .
I really want to try out the AMD 5000 series since it will be the last of AM4 before AM5 is coming. 5900 i way out of my budget. So 5600x,5700g and 5800x which 1 should i go?

5900x out of budget
5800x Upgrade but heard this proc is more hotter than 3700x and higher power draw in multi-threaded work loads
5700G      maybe in case my RX570 die i still have integrated graphics. 
5600x Downgrade. Compare this with 3700x is 5600x being less 2 core 4 thread is it performance on real application have much impact? Mostly image and video editing like Adobe software, Photopia, PowerDirector 365, Handbrake and few other.

Sifu please help   

Lol…AMD fans must support support

no need. just go adl.
that architecture doomed. expect more problems only.

I have to wait border reopen cuz singkie price is insane markup..... so i may as well skip this gen afterall my 10600K is still blazing fast. I planned to get rocketlake but scrapped the plan because this 10600k is good enough lol.
I'll just wait till 13th gen. By then should have many SS to get things started

Not me. But I also think it's not good to trash talk competitors product just because you don't like it.
Maybe it to complement their SAM.
The main disadvantage I see with Ryzen compare to ADL is it doesn't have efficiency cores to handle background task when main cores doing intensive work.

Anyway, ADL hype train marketing have started in the media now.
