Possibly, as the entirety of the Ryzen 3 line (that's what they call their brand of i3, i5, i7 product split, for clarity) wasn't present until those two processors were launched.

I'd like to point out the curio that the 3300x and 3100 apparently did not require an AGESA update - despite the fact that they were rocking non-standard setups (most notably the 4+0 ccx core config) with clockspeeds that didn't exist on any of the other processors. Yet this 'clockspeed...

BCLK overclocking without your m.2's crapping out? Going quite well I see.

Their 14nm production shortage hasn't exactly gone away, even if it's been a few years now. Desktop is not a very important market - hell, you don't even get Tiger Lake on desktop - thus the low quantity of CPUs.

Heat pipes function through having a tiny bit of water inside of them - it's essentially a miniature, Extremely Closed waterloop. The pipe heats up, the water soaks up the heat, vapourizes - then condenses thanks to being cooled down by the finstack Not-Radiator. If a heat pipe is oversaturated...

Liquid-cooling RAM would be relevant in the off case you decide to set up a (tiny) temperature-controlled loop, so as to keep Samsung B chips at a steady 25 C +/- a couple of degrees under operation. The only time you'd realistically do that is if you want to do re-overclocking sessions as you...

I may have a potential (ivy bridge) buyer for my 3600 + (spare) b450 Tommy + 2x8 Sammy B, so if they're worth a **** I'd like to bite with a good discount :-)

It's certainly very fortunate that within 24 hours of receiving a memory kit, I've already mostly tapped out the juice and established stability. There seem to be some wacky performance regressions from ****ing with the subtimings vs. RDCalc thus far, and it's already getting a little hard to...

Well well, now there's a status update for you; After a bunch of initial tinkering; such as establishing tRFC scaling from 1.46v to 1.56v to not scaling further past that, which was 252 error-fest at 1.46v, 228 error-fest at 1.56v; ergo about 260 stable @ 1.46v (suspiciously good), 232/234...

This stuff arrived faster than anticipated, and what I didn't expect is that the "weird zen2 b-die trick" would work on dual-rank; Yet here we are, with tRAS 21 tRC 29 once again. Timings are by no means final yet, nor have I even confirmed their long-term stability (as I am yet to sleep)...

I found a pretty nice deal on some snazzy Gizzy Trizzy Z 2x16 3200-14-14-14 So I expect my weekend plans for next weekend to be a bunch of tomfoolery with that stuff. Personally, then I'm not particularly interested in the ""GAMING PERFORMANCE"" crown dick-measuring contest; Zen2 is...

Work is a good word. The MAX boards explicitly exist to guarantee Zen2's working out of the box, without having to flash a Working™ BIOS onto them through the Flashback USB port, if it exists at all.

Here are some quotes from another guy Zen2 clocking to the moon is a thing that exists, especially on golden samples. Early chips were consistently worse - my 3600 can't go past 4.15 at 1.37v, the wood-tier 3700x I had was stuck at 4.15 at 1.32v Meanwhile I hear of people buying new 3600's and...

How relevant this release is boils down to whether this is Zen 2 speed-bins, or if it's Zen 2+ with some minor improvements here and there. If they have noticeable memory latency improvements, then that'll do most of the necessary work. how exactly they'd go about doing that, or if they will at...

The only '3200 mhz' kit I'd go for is 3200 CL14, as good memory is the life and death of a Zen 2 CPU (bears reposting because it's such a nice video) And the 3300x is indeed, out by now.

The difference between 3666 and 3733 is not exactly as notable as 3600 vs. 3800 - so that's no biggie. Apparently I'm hearing rumblings of Renoir going up to 2000 fclk, so that may be an indicator of where Zen 3 (well, the trajectory from Zen1->+->2 gave it away) is likely to go. That's gonna...

Cool ghetto technique for flattening metal surfaces at the start of this video, though I haven't tried it out on a CPU yet :- ) Eventually, the Child of Bhaal shall awaken and then it will be time for more.. Experiments

The game worked previously if you started Steam in offline mode. With this new update, it gives you this message if you try and do it without updating to this New and Improved(tm) version;

Here's a very nice video in regards to the 3300x ;)
