My Asus TUF Gaming X570-plus (wifi) has worked a charm. Not experienced any issues with it. I like the boot LEDs that reassure you that everything is working correctly. I purchased a boot-up speaker for around £1.50 to go with it.
The board is for simple to re-flash using EZ-flash, and ASUS have...
I hadn't built my own pc in a very very long time, and then Ryzen came along. The first gen was great value, but not quite enough to get my money. The second gen was only ever billed as a minor upgrade, so was never going to get my money. This third gen went above and beyond, not only in price...
You said you'd studied economics...
The first thing you learn is about supply and demand curves. What you are proposing is that AMD essentially only sell this 3600x2 CPU, as that would be the price-performance winner on every metric for years to come. You propose they sell it at a lower price...
...and you fail to explain how selling a low volume product at the same margin as a high volume product actually produces more overall profit.
For a product to be worthwhile then its margin must reflect the volume of sales that applies to.
The other aspect here is that if it is the chiplets...
Mine also reports 99.8MHz BCLK.
I'm not very bothered by it since I'm not having any issues hitting the advertised clocks, and my RAM had no issues going from 3200MHz CL16 16-18-18-36 to 3200MHz CL14 14-17-17-34 with FCLK of 1800MHz and no voltage changes.

My best Userbench run from today.
Pretty impressed that I got my 3600X to score 99.2% which puts it in the 100th percentile. :cool:
edit: why settle for 99.2% when https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/20436669 100% is possible...
Does seem like quite high idle temperature TBH. I'm at 32-36C with my 3600X and air cooling.
Temperature spikes aren't an issue though since these CPUs cool down incredibly quickly after they spike.
Updated my Ryzen Master since I didn't initially do so after updating BIOS.
From what I could tell, it makes little to no difference if you manually set a peak VCore since it won't abide by it anyhow...if CPUZ is anything to go by.
Talking of CPUZ. Seems as though reference benchmarks are way...
I'll check it out again later. It's easy enough for me to test; just a couple of button clicks and reboots.
From memory, temperatures looked good.
The thing with Ryzen Master is that it's polling rate is so low, hence why it misses true behaviour. For instance, even peak clocks are missed...
Ryzen Master...which matched up exactly with what it said in the BIOS.
I thought it was strange due to the manual tab normally requiring voltage control to be set as enabled, yet here it didn't require it and the CPU exhibited normal voltage changing behaviour when not needed.
I had no issues running 4.275GHz at 1.1v in Cinebench R20 MT. Got 3875 for the 3600X.
Seems like quite a big jump to get the 3900X running the same clocks.
Edit:
After updating to ABBA AGESA I clicked the "OC Tuner" button in the BIOS. It decided that 4.1GHz at 1.1v was the optimum level.
I...
Have you checked the fuse in your plug? Silly question, but you never know.
Anyway, PSU tester and beeper speaker can be bought for less than £10 combined. I bought some myself during my own build when I discovered that my CPU was tripping my motherboard.
Have to admit, the beeper speaker is...
Those clock hounds must be pleased that their CPU now clocks 0.025GHz higher for a net zero increase in performance.
If it performs, it performs.
The way some were moaning you'd think they were expecting a 10% uplift in performance for their 0.025GHz (or 0.5%).
I don't think it is really a debate about whether either has knowledge about computers, rather a debate about which of you can apply logic and common sense.
