I remember this one time, back in August, when I went in to order a 3900X for $499.99 at Best Buy to be shipped to me and used a 10% Birthday Coupon code and a 10% Best Buy Visa Rewards redemption code - and they stacked.
Good times... :D
Amazon has stock right now at $564 - sold by Amazon.

Everything about the AIO Corsair told me it was working from the iCue app, to feeling the vibration on the pump/heatsink housing to feeling movement through the hoses.
Swapped in the 3900X's heatsink and everything is immediately 20 degrees lower across the board and no more throttling.
*sigh*...
The same way I've done on every every build I've ever done around a heatspreader'd CPU; a drop of TIM the size of a pea right in the middle, flattened out by the heatsink.
I'll give that a shot tomorrow. But I really feel like there's another problem here. I've been running this build for 2...
Trying the latest chipset drivers as we speak, but the flaming temps are reported at BIOS level so I'm not sure it'll help.
Default BIOS settings, latest BIOS. Even did a Load Defaults just to be sure.
Also tried the neg offset but it would only let me drop -.1v. And that's what still left...
Ryzen 3900X with a Corsair H100i rad and MX-4 in between. ASRock X370 Taichi.
I just noticed that temps were idling at 70ish and immediately hitting the 95c thermal limit on load. Which got me looking at voltages and the BIOS had the CPU at 1.45ish for god knows what reason. So with a bit of...
So I've had the 3900X in my Best Buy Saved Cart for a while and watched as it went into and out of stock, mostly not even letting me attempt to check out with it and then error out the few times it did. Yesterday on an error out I noticed a popup dialogue that said to order the item in-store...

Grabbed one of these a few weeks ago for $950 on-sale. Have been extremely impressed by it.
Thanks for the...
I figured this would be an easy hunt since I know my hardware. But the more I look into the Ryzen mobile stuff the more I see talk about unnecessary performance throttling? Is it a universal affliction?
The laptop will be used for work primarily to show clients product demonstrations but I'd...
Hmmm...
I've seen some YouTubers and others mention sending cards off to get examined/fixed. Do you/anybody know where I would locate a service like that?
Alright, I've tracked down the Tyan recommended PSU finally.
5v - 27a
3.3v - 45a
Still no video when an AGP card is installed.
I also picked up a Radeon 9250 PCI card. No video from it either. And the AGP card is out when it is in.
I can't imagine there's something wrong enough with this...
So I picked up this guy online, mostly for the novelty, and also because I figured with 2GBs of RAM and DX11 support it'd make a solid card for my backup Phenom rig.
But it's definitely got an issue of some sort.
Upon installing the card and powering the machine on, the card's fan goes into...
Can't wait to throw a Ryzen 9 into my X370 Taichi. Already picked up another 16GB kit of CL14 3200MHz TridentZ in anticipation.
Gonna keep trucking with my R9 Fury non-X though. This thing continues to age like wine. Love it.
Thanks.
I've looked in the BIOS and don't see a setting that would be affecting an AGP card.
Already tried compressed air in the slot and the CMOS clear.
Onboard Rage doesn't output either when an AGP card is installed.
[emoji24]
I think you're onto something with the power supply. My 3.3 and 5s are only 18a
Yeah, there's a guy on YouTube with a litany of benchmarks using this board with a 4000 series Radeon.
I've tried a Rage 128, original Radeon and Radeon 7500 among others. No dice.
I'll definitely try another PSU...
Hey guys,
Building a system around this Athlon MP board currently. It posts and works fine with the onboard Rage 128. But it won't post once I install any of my 5, known-working, AGP video cards. I don't get video from the onboard VGA either when an AGP card is installed.
The slot is getting...
Well that's lovely. Thanks for the tip.
And, uh-oh...
"Because the ATX GES and WTX power supplies use different pinouts than the ATX12V and EPS12V power supplies, if you install an ATX GES or WTX-compatible power supply in a server designed to use ATX12V v2.x or EPS12V, or vice versa, you will...
Hey guys,
Just built a retro rig around the Tyan S2462 Athlon MP board. Bought it from an eBay tech seller as tested and working. Using the MP 2600+ CPUs it came with. Added in 4x 1GB of Samsung ECC 2700 DDR.
Trying to achieve a first boot and nothing is happening whatsoever. Not even a brief...
AMD almost went bankrupt by blowing their piggy bank on the Dresden fab and overpaying for ATi. If they hadn't made either of those moves they wouldn't have even sniffed at liquidity (or R&D funding...) problems.
That looks nifty, thanks! I found cpumsr but it doesn't stick upon reboot.
No multiplier adjustments in the BIOS.
Yeah, that was gonna be my next stop.
What kind of wire is optimal?
Hey guys,
So I've paired this board with this CPU. Technically the board doesn't support it but it's electrically compatible as well as being a 266MHz FSB CPU. It boots and works fine (just ran through a full install of XP with it installed) but it's running at a 6x multiplier for 800MHz.
Is...
I think there's an accuracy problem because it's affecting the CPU data as well - a spot where AMD is definitely on the rise.
With regard to the mining effect on GPU data, the installed base of gamers drawfs the number of GPUs manufactured during the mining craze. So it really doesn't make that...
As a shareholder, I don't care where the GPU growth is coming from. I just care that it's there and that it's not coming from margin attrition as has been the case in the past.
The last time I played a board game was probably in high school, 2002 - My history teacher was kinda mailing it in because he was half way into another profession at that point (wound up being his final year teaching) so we played a lot of his Axis & Allies board in class. It was honestly a ton...
So... I'm sick of renting, especially at the current rents in my market, so I'm looking to buy for the first time. Either a small house or a condo.
My credit score and personal finances are solid so I'm not too concerned with qualifying for a loan - I'm more just curious about the process and...

Revenue +33% YOY at 1.48bn over estimates of 1.41bn. Earnings were 8c/share over estimates of 5c/share.
Interesting to me is that the semi-custom business is now fully 2/3 of...
