AMD Ryzen 5000 Builders Thread

Has anyone picked up a newer 5800X non 3D, with a 22xx production date? I am wondering how they do on temps versus the first ones; I have a system primarily used for gaming and web browsing that has an early chip that just runs hot when gaming, even with ECO mode, offset, under-volt, etc. I...

Question Is AMD CPU production getting back to normal?

Just saw that Newegg has the 3300X for $149.99, not a bad deal considering the 3600 is not really around.

The absolute 110% 'is it stable' I feel is prime95, the thread about core cycler is a good reference for testing individual cores in a consistent and orderly manner. Is there a certain part you feel is not stable?

AMD Ryzen 3000 Builders Thread

It's not a $100 cpu if we cannot go into a store here and get one for $100; how about grabbing a $700 3080 FE on the BestBuy shelf later today when the store opens? ;) One important thing to consider, the South Korean seller with thousands of positive feedback posts has no incentive to sell a...

Check out the Asus Prime X570-P and X570 TUF Gaming X570-Plus WiFi; I picked up a TUF for a build, is very nice for the money, a lot of features and good VRM setup. https://www.techspot.com/bestof/amd-x570-motherboards/ Hardware Unboxed has some good X570 VRM test videos, I would pick the...

MX500 1TB $89.99 (4-27 only), $184.99 2TB - Best Buy [Dead]

Nice. I bought some Amazon Warehouse Crucial DDR4 3600 cheap that ended up having one bad stick, Crucial approved the RMA.

W00t, 3300X was delivered June 28th. Heck of a turnaround coming all the way from South Korea. I am impressed by this random experiment, am just confused why AMD cannot get a mass amount of 3300X shipped to the states; the low end AM4 product stack is a pricing and availability joke. Total...

Question AMD Ryzen 5000 - AVAILABILITY

AM5 is not happening in 2021; it is *rumored* to be launched in late fall / early winter 2022, BUT, a lot of us are going to wait a few years before jumping on DDR5, due to the historical record of DDR3 - DDR4, and all the other RAM changes of the past. IF the new stuff at release is slower and...

Question AMD Ryzen 5000 - AVAILABILITY

I am stumped, it is June, so, no Santa Clause, even too early for an appearance of Christmas in July. Uh, traveling salesman? Vacuums or encyclopedias? Lemme guess, they just had an external HDD of Wikipedia on it with the caveat that it is probably out of date...

Question AMD Ryzen 5000 - AVAILABILITY

I think a lot people are extrapolating not getting a GPU and the auto industries' horrible planning to 'silicon shortage'. I have argued elsewhere there is merely a capacity and therefore time issue for GPU's, they are much more complicated to make than CPU's BUT, there is no shortage of GPU's...

Question AMD Ryzen 5000 - AVAILABILITY

I *think* I'm going to treat myself with the big kahuna 6950X or whatever it is. I am going to avoid DDR5 for a few years like I did when DDR4 went mainstream with Intel 6 series; I picked up a 4790K in 2015 instead of a 5820K and rode that until 2019, fully replaced with a 3900X. LOL I forgot...
