Official AMD Ryzen 5000 Series & 7000 Series Thread

[KAC]

You gays buy all sorts of random crap but when I do it, everyone goes insane.

[demo]

It's all good bro, 5900x is an awesome CPU.


Dat RKL tho

[Riptide]

My TUF + has daisy chain topology. I'll probably just go ahead and install the modules and run them at stock timings at PC3600 and if they pass that test then the 5950x goes in. I may at some point try working on pushing clock speeds past 3600 or reducing timings however it isn't high up on the list of priorities. Primarily, I just wanted the fastest pair of modules I could get at stock settings and atm these seem to be it.

I have noticed it seems most a lot of if not most of gskill kits are single rank so if you want dual rank you're looking at an expensive proposition (4 dimms) since there aren't any 4gb modules for less money.

[KAC]

Seems like unless you go in the 350+ dollar range you will get daisy chain anyways. I think I am ok with not knowing what it is and getting what I paid for the board. Let’s hope there are no issues with it.

This build is already over 2500$ for me and possibly the most expensive computer I have built.

Ultra-high FPS increase:$ ratio too...

[MangaSpawn64]

Goddamit local shop didn't get any 5900x yet... I have one reserved for me but I wanted all my parts by Christmas so I could play with them. 980 Pro is back ordered as well

Intel Rocket Lake 8 Core & 16 Thread 5.0 GHz CPU Benchmarks Leak Out, On Par With The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

[KAC]

So, just set up the whole thing. Now only awaiting the CPU. Flashed bios also though not sure if it worked.

Btw the tiny fan on this board will make me go insane. Anyone else with a MSI tomahawk can share their experience? It is a very noisy fan. Maybe because there was no CPU installed it was running full blast. I hope so.

The Phanteks P500A case is great. However I am not sure how to hook the RGB to the motherboard. Will need to play with things I guess. Overall, this is turning out to be a solid build. Let’s hope I don’t mess up anything.

[Meteor_of_War]

The chipset fan on the X570 boards shouldnt run all the time and all (most?) board BIOS should have fan curve settings for it.

On my board i keep it on the balanced preset and it hardly ever comes on. Not even always during gaming, just only during heavy load I've noticed it spinning. Also i cannot hear it over my other fans.

My only concern with it is being a possible point of failure someday.

[KAC]

Yes I think that because I was flashing a bios using the usb stick it was just running full blast. Only CPU is left to receive and hoping it comes on Saturday so I can complete this build. I also think my Corsair LL RGB fans will be here by Saturday so I may end up overclocking higher

So we're hoping for 6 FPS instead of 5?

I wouldn't waste your time trying to OC, unless you're doing it for fun.

If its anything like 3000 series the minuscule gains are not worth the time and effort.

Ryzen seems to go all out just by itself. Manual OC is an exercise in frustration and disappointment, like a lay with KAC.

[Meteor_of_War]

Sick burn bro.

AMD takes more of Intel’s market share in latest Steam Hardware Survey

The most recent figures show that AMD held 26.51 per cent of the Steam user CPU market in November, a 6% increase year-on-year. Unsurprisingly, Intel's market share decreased by the same amount to 73.49%.

Ohhhh! Shots fired!

I don't think he felt my shot, gonna have to spray him again for good measure.

5950x got here today gentlemens.

Installing over the weekend. Much rejoicing. Amazon bot scored me this little baddy.

[demo]

Nice.

[AllexxisF1]

I actually got lucky and picked up a 5600X on Amazon of all places.

Sat on it for a hot 10 minutes.

Then I cancelled it.

I got way too much going (selling and buying a house).

I would rather wait and get a 5900X or just wait for 5 na.

[KAC]

Oh man seems my CPU still hasn’t reached Dubai. Means I may not get it until Sunday.

[demo]

I personally think 5800x and 5950x are the chips to get, but that's just me. Defect free, highly binned silicon. They are the same thing, one of them just doubled.

[KAC]

5800X has been universally panned and runs hot af.
5900X has been universally acclaimed apart from 50 extra price tag. I couldn’t get another 6 core CPU so for me the logical choice was a 5900X. I think this should last me a good 3 years or so.

[12Bass]

Not seeing that the 5900X runs significantly cooler than the 5800X. From what I gather, the 5800X is an excellent CPU, but just not a great value at its current price. Will be interesting to see what happens to the market when Rocket Lake gets released....

[Megaman]

so for me the logical choice was a 5900X. I think this should last me a good 3 years or so.

The logical choice was to wait for DDR5. This ain't lasting you 3 years.

[KAC]

DDR5 first release is expected to be 2021 end. It will take about a year for the kits etc to mature and benefits to show. My prediction is somewhere around end of 2022 or start of 2023 might be a good time to do a rebuild.

Let’s see. By that time I think a 12 core CPU should be enough.

[Nagorak]

I personally think 5800x and 5950x are the chips to get, but that's just me. Defect free, highly binned silicon. They are the same thing, one of them just doubled.

5900X actually has the cheapest price per core.

5800X shouldn't have been given the $50 price increase, IMO, since it's already based on the more expensive 8 core SKU. There just isn't enough difference in price between it and the 5900X. Granted, right now AMD will sell everything they make, but down the line a price cut is coming for 8 core Zen 3 CPUs (either the 5700X is released, the 5800X MSRP is cut, or the 5800X's street price will adjust downwards).

[demo]

5900X actually has the cheapest price per core.

Of course it does - it's a pair of defective chips. Only reason 5800x has been panned is because of pricing, and you can't blame AMD for that, it's a premium chip without defect. I stand by it, 5800x and 5950x are my favourite of the bunch.

[Riptide]

Kind of a newb question here almost embarrassing to ask it. Wondering how you gents approach this.

When you mate the heat sink with the surface of the CPU and tighten it down. Do you go finger tight with the screws or do you actually get a driver and snug it down? It's not like they publish torque specs for this, and while I've not really ever had a big problem I'm kind of wondering what the general wisdom is for this.

[KAC]

I finger the cpu. But then use my tool on it.

Well, the screws on my heatsink are not thumb screws so i assume they want us to use a screw driver.

I just make it snug, about a quarter turn more once i feel the tight resistance start.

[Nunz]

Hand tighten in a star pattern. Screwdriver till it's snug, again in a star pattern.

Thousands upon thousands of AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs are flooding into retail pre-Christmas

Scan is looking at taking receipt of 2,457 chips between now and Christmas week, with another 4,190 CPU due the following week. Over 6,500 chips in total. That's a lot of chips.

That's great news! Wish the GPU scene was as good.

[bill dennison]

That's great news! Wish the GPU scene was as good.

i think it will by mid January for AMD GPU's if this is true

I really don't think they would make all CPU's as they are not stupid and have to be wanting them out there in numbers ASAP

[Mangler]

Nice, looks like my 5900x will arrive before the release of cyberpunk.

It will be nice to finally have intel-like performance again.

And I only had to wait a month, a new record for 2020!

[KAC]

So pissed. The shipment from NY is supposed to arrive tomorrow now and means I will get it on Monday. First time the forwarding company really delayed the shipment.

Also my case fans which were supposed to arrive today didn’t. So I am even more angry. Guess I will be building this during my calls and full working day. A very bad time to build a rig.

Good thing is I have done the rest and now only CPU, rad and case fans are the only things left to install. Thinking about re-doing windows as well. Let’s see.

[Megaman]

I feel you. I’m still waiting for that iPhone.

Man, you got a lot of balls to be doing a full PC build the week Cyberpunk releases.

If something goes wrong you'll have to wait to play it, or play an inferior version.
