im so going to let my 1600 retire, not decided yet though if i should upgrade just the cpu or sell cpu mobo and ram all together and buy whole new setup on b550.

try using cb20, no point using an obsolete benchmark, yes it's free too. about overclocking i cant really help you, all i did on my 1600 was to up the voltage and multiplier hit enter and i left other stuff on auto :) you can really fine tune the ryzen chip but same like you i did not have the...

ive got my 1600 since september last year and hasnt noticed any issues, the performance is good, temps are good, frequency holds up. so far everything is good.

i wont mind having my cpu at 1.4v to get 4.5ghz, there are power states for some reason and not using them and pushing the cpu to the max all the time while it's not needed is... dumb. my 1600 at 4.0 ghz will clock as low as 15% of it's set cpu frequency at idle, not using such features and...

damn that's quite high voltage to sqeeze more than 4.2 what temps? im curious what kind of voltage will 3300x need to get to 4.5ghz (reportedly it can go this high!)

you mean 40-45c under load? that's going to be though unless you have really good cooling solution, which again will cost extra money. Honestly anything under 90c during stress test is safe, as long as you are not exceeding thermal limits of your cpu it's safe to push for it. my 1600 (non...

laughable how you all cry about china but you dont mind what NSA and other us agencies do. If they introduce a good quality product for a competitive price, i will be then very interested in buying these.

using storemi on my cheap ass hdd, im using the option to put 2gb of ram into cache and it does indeed speed some things up. Im curious as to what the new thing will be.

hmm cdna for workstations and rdna for gaming, sounds like amd is finally splitting its gaming gpus and workstation gpus, that might just mean that rdna will be a very good architecture for gaming gpus which i can't wait to see. now lets hope they finally sort out their drivers boogaloo

5ghz on a laptop? yeah right maybe during boot time lmao. also 5.27ghz on a 45W rated chip? this bitch will throttle like mad, imagine manufacturers actually adding a 45W worth of cooling hardware, enjoy your campfire of a laptop.

i believe its markheeeeting bs

i dont think those coolers are designed to handle such cpu on full tilt very well. i have r5-1600 paired with one and temps are rock solid but if i start pulling over 125W of power during let's say cb20 at 4.1 ghz then the story is very similiar, around 85C, at 4.0ghz it stays under 75 C and...

Well then that oc doesnt matter if you can't even run a cb20 :P my r5-1600 at 4.1 managed to run one instance of cinebench20 before it crashed :D 3020 points with 2933mhz ram

that's not exactly true, there might be improvements in boards microcode how it will handle the m.2 connections and as much as it might not improve the speeds themselves but the data access latency. Yes it is a speculation but we dont have much of hard data on new motherboards so... who knows.

damn, cb scores? also what kind of cooler are u using to cool it?
