SL: Ryzen 3000 max OC far below expected; and general thoughts

Because you seem to not understand that Silicon Lottery only did all core overclocking in traditional methods, giving poor results in return

CCX overclocking is much better as you can gain more performance in that way.

So, rather than post something about how CCX can achieve higher clocks with the 3950x (or any 3rd gen in general), you decided to necro a 5 month thread with sublety “aMd BaD xD” through Silicon Lottery’s traditional business practice

The only reason this kind of overclocking has to be done is because of the :poop: cores AMD gives its buyers on even its most expensive mainstream SKUs. I like how you try to spin it as a positive when really it’s just an additional pain in the neck (like buying a “compatible” AM4 motherboard and having to apply for, wait for, setup a system with, disassemble the system with, and then ship back an older AM4 chip to get your new one to work with your mobo).

“Traditional methods,” lul. You mean the way literally almost 100% of mainstream overclocking has been done for literally years?

Or maybe I’m going to update this thread on SL Ryzen 3000 overclocking by adding the same stats I provided for the previous SKUs with the ones for the just released 3950x. Here’s why:

Last point is that I’d like to say thanks for providing another reason not to recommend AMD: to overclock the chip right, you’re going to have to overclock each CCX. And you’re going to have to use AMD’s :poop: software, either through WIndows or through whatever :poop: bios foundation they provide mobo manufacturers.

You really are the worst messenger/salesperson for AMD. I reckon more people have avoided AMD products because of the biased :poop: you regularly post on forums like this one than have chosen AMD because of you. It’s actually kind of funny

So kaby lake owners with z170 boards at 7th gen launch were the exception?

TIL griefs doesn’t know CCX is actually more recommended for overclocking by known tech enthusiasts than the other method :rofl:, but that’s because Intel doesn’t provide that so he wouldn’t know

The horror of watching a YouTube video/guide about how to CCX overclock in Ryzen Master :scream:!

How horrifying that changing a few numbers till it’s stable through software is the most nerve wrecking moment in a DIY builders life :scream:!

How terrible it is to use 3rd party CCX overclocking if you don’t want to use Ryzen Master!

What would Ryzen users do without der8auer!

So… You Necro a thread?

Did they?

Smacking down Griefs is one thing (pretty easy to do given the amount of false statements he makes). Cheering AMD selling 93% of the CPUs this holiday season is another.

This isn’t good for consumers. AMD is jacking up prices because there is no competition. Just look at Threadripper 3 and the old 1800X. Unless Intel brings on competition, AMD is just as happy to charge sky high prices.

Do you even know what you’re talking about? You do realize there’s more to OC than just compute cores on both AMD and Intel platforms right? From your statement guess not…

In reality you’re mad because you got called out for shilling in another thread. You decided to get angry and update this thread with more misinformation when your own source refutes your false claims just like your Jayz thread.

Similar story for my buddy with a Gigabyte Aorus Master X570 + 3700X. Was a tiny bit bumpy initially and a noisy stock cooler, but after doing a BIOS update and replacing the cooler with a NH-U12S it’s all been smooth sailing. XMP profile worked out of the box, good temps, and no mysterious behavior of any kind. The old i5-4590 machine this new build replaced was more temperamental.
