Must vary a lot country to country cause in Australia the difference between Tomahawk's and preorders for Tomahawk Max's is $10AUD(about $7US) which is a 6% increase.
It's probably worth waiting for the b450 Tomahawk Max to hit the market, some people have apparently gotten them (in Singapore I believe) so they should be around pretty soon. The only difference is the 32MB bios but that means you don't lose overclocking profiles and fan curves which the 16MB...
Thought that might have been optimistic :P
Honestly the fact that people can delid without destroying the damn things (CPU's in general that is) impresses me so much I try not to take anything for granted in the 'no way that could happen' sense at least until people who know more than me weigh...
Ok this maybe a stupid question but do you think it's possible to transplant chiplets between 3900's? I mean even if it was I imagine it'd be an insanely delicate process, on the other hand you could DIY a golden chip :)
3600 is definitely soldered, you can watch it being delidded here
Those really are some bonkers temps though.. 117c O_o Would have thought it would hard shutdown quite a bit lower than that.. I guess there's some leeway for spiking.
Thanks for all the extra data :)
Any idea what's going on with the Total War results? They just seem a bit skewy, both the CPU's and your GPU should be pushing that wayyyyy over 60. Did you happen to benchmark that in DX12 mode?
You may well have already done this but if you/anyone who's run into this hasn't It's well worth checking your countries consumer protections. It's extremely common for manufacturers and retailers to state warranty returns processes that are well below what they're legally obliged to provide...
Good to know thanks :) That basically brings it down to a 3600 with cooler or a 3700x on stock. The 3700x has some longevity arguments in it's favour although if I knew for sure that Zen3 was coming on AM4 I'd be hard pressed not to just go for a 3600 then 4600. All I've seen on Zen3 is that...
@VirtualLarry
Cheers for the heads up, I'll have a look into it before I hit the order button. The Gaming Plus only had 6 sata ports, well 6+2 M2 which I believe can run sata or NVMe hopefully that doesn't wind up as 4+2 but it's better to be sure rather than hope and need to ditch a HDD. The...
Ha, I've been going back and forth between the 3600 and 3600x due to the awful stock cooler on the 3600 and how close the price becomes once you replace it.. Turns out the AM4 mounting brackets coolermaster sells for the 212 evo work with the plus even though compatibility isn't listed on their...
@Arkaign Pretty sure Gamers Nexus also tested on 1903 with all mitigations
*edit* actually speaking of GN they're also the first review site I've seen that's benchmarked turn times in a TBS game (Civilization VI in their case). I've been wanting to see that for aggeess. Sadly the 9900k...
I know that AMD said they're going straight to Zen3 but I wouldn't be overly surprised if we got a refresh at some point. TSMC did say they'd been offering their 6nm (7nm+) product to customers as a drop in upgrade while 5nm required actual redesigns. So a 4xxx series or 3xxx+ (3xxx super? :P)...
Huh a quick search on the USB ones turned up a headphone one that drives up to 300Ω headphones for $66AUD, will have to look into that further later today, cheers :). Thing I loved about my DG was it cost me all of $30AUD I think and is a dramatic improvement over onboard for driving decent...
Ahh well figured it was a long shot, cheers for the info though :). There's X370's around with them but it's obviously pretty limiting choice wise. Might just have to look into how well adaptor's function or other alternatives.
