Well with no stock on 12core i picked up a 3600 to get by until the 16 core comes.

Good choice! I just grabbed a 3700x on a whim since it's stocked, but I feel like the loss on resale value for the 3700x is going to be far greater than the 3600 by the time 3950x comes around (or maybe 4950x if patient enough..)

-------------------
QUESTION : I ended up with the X570 Aorus Pro Wifi since there is a combo deal on newegg and elite was out of stock. The Aorus Pro has an extra 4 pin CPU EPS header.. but I can't locate the spare cables for my EVGA G2 850 at the moment.. I don't anticipate driving 235+ W (iirc 8 pin suggested power limit) or even close to that through the 3700x, is the extra 4 pin going to be necessary to post or can I just ignore it for the time being?

Ignore the 4 pin.

Ignore the 4 pin.

I get the feeling it's been asked before, thank you very much

Along with a few other issues (USB - C header being blocked, the heat shield for the NVMe drives with the thermal pads pulling part one of the NVMe drives...) I had a ASRock Tiachi x570 board and along with those things, found out it wouldn't by its own specifications support anything faster than 2733Mhz with 4 sticks of RAM.

Anyone have any success with the Master running 4x16GB sticks at 3200Mhz or am I SOL?? The Gigabyte, and ASRock boards are the _only_ boards that have 3x NVMe slots that aren't ungodly expensive.

I've been testing for quite a few hours and i was only able to get 4.4ghz on all cores on my 3900x which means I'll stick to my 4.3ghz overclock if anyone was curious.

Nice. That is a lot of compute power.

 

[braincracking]

Joined the Aorus Master x570 owners with a 3900x yesterday, everything under water of course. With XFR and PBO I've had single core boosts as high as 4.775Ghz. It shreds through everything I throw at it, and even though I was slightly worried about the bios(I came from a 1700 on a CHVI), this was unwarranted, things work and are simple.

Without much time, I dialed in a ram OC of [email protected] on 4 G.Skill 3200 CL16 sticks It goes without saying I'm a very happy camper hehe.

Question to anyone that owns a Auros Elite does this mobo allow the use of adaptive voltage? I’m about to pull the trigger on the board but I need to know if it allows adaptive voltage setting

[ceneszzz]

played a bit in the bios with voltage (Auto/normal) PBO and XFR
Now less Heat, lower voltage and less Powerusage with more performence for free:

hi bro, did you use llc on cpu vcore? if yes, what mode did you choose (medium, low,) ?? thx

 

[Streetdragon]

Everything stock. Only changed the CPU voltage from auto to normal

 

[Gettz8488]

Can anyone tell me if setting dynamic Voltage on auros boards is working? I’m about to get the pro but won’t pull the trigger unless I know dynamic voltage is working for a -negative offset

Negative offset to vcore does not work on zen2, if the voltage the cpu requested is lower than expected it will simply request a higher voltage on the next cycle.

You can set it but it will not have a positive effect, at best it does nothing and at worst you lose a lot of performance.
The Stilt talked about it here https://www.overclock.net/forum/28044514-post7.html

That’s unsusual seeing as over on the CH7 thread people are setting negative offsets and its working?

I can make my 3700X lower its vcore at idle from 1.465 by lowering the Maximum Processor State from 100 to 99 in power plan settings.

I can see the vcore drop in CPUZ immediately after clicking apply. Problem is it also makes the CPU top out @ 3600 or so and as a result CPUZ bench scores drop from 531 single, 5500 multi to 431 single, and 4400 multi

I believe having my vcore pegged at 4.65 @ idle is why my single scores drop when PBO is enabled.

Hopefully AMD will acknowledge the problem and provide a fix via an AGESA update soon

It's working and regular monitoring software will show you the same high frequencies, but the cpu will use something called clock stretching, essentially momentarily lowering the frequency if it detects the voltage dropping too much.
You will lose performance doing this.

Anyway the Gigabyte boards have an offset voltage option, you need to change vcore from auto to normal and then the offset function becomes available.

Just what I was looking for losing some performance is no issue for me temps are like an OCD of mine.

I can report a bug/odd behaviour with CPU_FAN & CPU_OPT fan headers when resuming from sleep on the Aorus Xtreme on F3e BIOS. They go max speed and don't go down without any interference of your own to reset the profile/setting.
Regular restart/shutdown has no issues or on the other fan headers either, Just specific to the CPU_FAN headers on resume from sleep.

I've only set some FAN control changes in BIOS not elsewhere thus far. Can be irritating as those fans I connected on them are the ones I want the least on max-speed.
Though I hardly use sleep feature often, just a thing I noted for once using it.

 

[Lexi is Dumb]

Is there a reason SIV thinks my CPU could jump from 48c to 60c while opening chrome and then immediately back to 48c when its open? It's making even the quiet fan profile unbearable constantly ramping up and down in such high amounts.

Edit: HWinfo also tells me im hitting over 60c just from opening chrome and other basic programs. Im going to re seat my cooler and see if this is my fault.

 

[Spectre73]

I would like to see some unbiased review of the x570 Aorus Master. At these early days of Ryzen 3000 there are still many conflicting reports, but most online reviews are rather positive.

I had the same experience with the x370 series with the Taichi. All early reviews were overly positive, praising the hardware and the boards capabilities. Actual use was rather mixed. Average BIOS support, slow updates, difficulties with memory compatibility (granted, that was as much an issue of 1st gen ryzen as it was the boards fault).

So this time around, I will take more time judging the boards available, but right now, it is really difficult to seperate the facts from hysteria.

There are as much fanboys as there are "haters".

Can anyone point me in the direction of objective reviews? Best would be some comparisons of like boards (Master, C8H, MSI ACE)?

 

[OCmember]

@GBT-MatthewH Hey there. My Gigabyte Aorus Extreme came in Tuesday, Do I need to register it for any warranty reasons or what not?

Thanks
