I support my local Microcenter whenever I can. They have saved my bacon with same-day parts more times than I care to mention, so I give them business whenever i can.
Up and running. Will see how it goes. Must say I'm disappointed in Newegg. The 3900x and the CVH8 Hero wifi has a $20 bundle discount. Newegg didnt give it to me. the offered a 10 gift card. From now on i may get my mobo and cpus from my local Microcenter since they seem to offer better discount on bundles.
Anyway cpu temps seem to hover around 40 to 50 c according to Asus monitoring software. We will see how this puppy runs the next couple of weeks.
Running 16GB of Gskill ram. Anyone think running 32GB of ram would be better?
Well, I took the memory down to 2933 and its more responsive, but still horrible benchmarks on memory 145 ms latency ???? And response time just typing is horrible. Something is wrong. Its not the 3900x, as I have it in another box, but thats an ASUS. And I get a message from aida64 that my cpu is not recognized, same 6.0 version as above.Mark, do you think the problems are mainly just with the 3900X or for all Matisse on Asrock boards? I picked up a 3700X today and was planning to install it soon. But it sounds like you are having some serious issues, is this at stock btw?
4x8GB Samsung B-Die @ 3733 CL16 (Auto subtimings):
Its the bios. it sucks. 3.43
Yep, already been down that road...This bios is fubared, no more ASRock boards for me.
It gets wierd... I lowered the memory to 2666 and I got LESS latency, but the memory speed is almost the same. And responsivenes is WAY better.

I think its all in the bios, the problem. It is a 3900xYou have no L3 cache?
Updated my X370 Prime Pro to Asus BIOS 5008 (from two weeks ago) in preparation for a new CPU, now I'm having some weird issues with memory.
I saw a small decrease in performance in Cinebench R20 on my R7 1700 @ 3.8Ghz vs. the previous BIOS I had (which was from 2017) but I'm not worried about this as I'm presuming it's due to some vulnerability mitigation.
This is the memory I am using. As you can see it is supposed to be able to do timings in the range of 15-15-15-35.
On the old BIOS I was never able to get the RAM to run at DDR4-3000, it always just wanted to run at DDR4-2933 or it wouldn't boot. This isn't a big deal so I was fine. However, with the new BIOS, I can boot with a D.O.C.P./XMP profile at DDR4-3000 with 15-17-17-35 timings.
With this timing, it boots with no issues on the new BIOS, however there is a massive performance regression vs. 2933 with the relatively poor auto timings. Specifically the benchmark I was testing with was Superposition, which is supposed to be a GPU-focused benchmark, but with 3000Mhz/15-17-17-35 config I was seeing the GPU get significantly bottlenecked (85% utilization) and a 15% decrease in performance vs. 2933 with the auto timings. (Gigabyte Gaming G1 GTX 1080, at stock clocks it's usually around 7000 points in the 4K/optimized test and with the D.O.C.P. timings I was getting around 6000 points).
So I have a few questions:
1. Am I just a dumbass and I'm doing something wrong?
2. Are the issues due to the IMC on the CPU and they'll be fixed if I buy a new CPU?
3. Are the issue due to the board just being not that great with memory (something I've seen others complain about)?
4. Should I just buy new memory along with my new CPU?
Thanks in advanced, I'm a noob when it comes to memory overclocking and tuning timings.

Single core boost works as advertised!
Where? It's only boosting to 4.275 GHz....

Apparently there is a bug in Ryzen Master whereby disabling a CCD results in not being able to re-enable it until you clear CMOS.Also, have you tried disabling one chiplet to see how that changes CPU behavior?

Temps look rough, clocks look kinda low? Granted, it's only a Gammaxx 400 and a B350 motherboard.
Single-core boost is supposed to top out at 4.7 Ghz. Not 4.287 GHz. That board using an old AGESA version?

I hear ya on the 32GB DIMMS. I won't be running server loads per se, but the VMs I do use (and the number of instances) can be very resource hungry, core and RAM wise.
If you aren't wedded to the idea of needing 8 sata ports, that aorus master does have 6 sata ports and 3 M2 slots, and you only lose sata ports if you use the 3rd M2 slot.
