Those flash sales usually occur on a store by store basis with Microcenter, it usually relies on the stock in store and what is coming in their next order.
Some kind of overstock must be happening with the 3800x.
Was at Microcenter Friday all set to buy a 3700x and at a dude says there is a flash sale on the 3800x, $10 additional off. No sign.
I have managed places smaller but similar to Microcenter, sounds like the committed to buying too many and have too many in the pipeline. Some boss of all bosses probably said discount these $10 to encourage and upsell but don’t discount them all.
Just a guess no facts or evidence.

Fast preset which doesn't work and requires reflashing: (dram voltage set to 1.37 in BIOS)
So I should probably try with higher dram voltage
Do you have VRM overheating issues when running Blender Benchmark with your Ryzen 7 3700X? If not, a Ryzen 5 3600 (like I plan to use) should be more than fine on that board.
Question fellow Ryzen builders. I got my 3800X last night and i already have a MASTERAIR MA410P CPU cooler i want to reuse. I am using the Asus TUF Gaming Plus (Wifi) X570 mobo with a nice sheet metal support on the back. Should i use the motherboard back support with my CPU or the plastic X support my CPU cooler came with? I have not gotten to the point of trying the motherboard one, but i assume I can make it work. Maybe i am just wrong and it will not be compatible.
The installation is a little more extensive, because Cooler Master provides its own backplate instead of using the standard AM4 backplate. Therefore, we first attach threaded bolts with the help of plastic clips to the matching positions of the backplate …
I would try setting vcore at 1.2 fixed and fan fixed as high as you can stand it. Also, Corsair fans are notoriously loud, I would consider replacing them.
You cpu speeds and average vcore look like mine. You also might try a fixed cpu speed if you use it a lot.
Second should i be using PBO? This Ryzen master software says enabling it will void my warranty so i got scared but i thought PBO is like the boost on Intel CPU's, in other words mainstream. I am guessing the warning on Ryzen master software is more of a legal boiler template they have to put on there.
Enabling PBO with Ryzen Master doesn't really do anything for my single core boost speeds on my 3700x, but it does bump up my all core loaded boost speeds 100-150MHz depending on the application. I usually just leave it off unless I'm testing out all core load temps to get a worse case scenario.
Here is a picture of Ryzen Master running on my 3900x. Maybe this will answer some of your questionsDo you use the Ryzen master software to determine speed per core? If so how do I do it?
i guess i was looking at it wrong last night, i it obvious on yours. I will have to double check mine when i get home unless there is some sort of test i need to run before i can see the Cores section, it was late last night.Here is a picture of Ryzen Master running on my 3900x.

Do you use the Ryzen master software to determine speed per core? If so how do I do it?
Well, my are hard set in the bios to 4100, since I run it 24/7 100% load at that speed. (notice the 1.1v vcore) But yes, it he wants max speed that will tell him. If he wants individual speeds, then NON overclocked, Ryzen Master will tell him which core is a t what speed. Mine all just say 4100 since that is my overclock. I could try for more, but I like the vcore, and I like the temps. so I am happyI'm not sure what you mean by that. Do you just want to know what your cores individually boost to? If so just use something like hwinfo64 and leave it run in the background while you use your rig. It'll keep track of the highest achieved boost per core. If you want to see what your cores boost to under loads it'll show current boost per core also.

That worked, run Ryzen master but also run a stress test from another app.i guess i was looking at it wrong last night, i it obvious on yours. I will have to double check mine when i get home unless there is some sort of test i need to run before i can see the Cores section, it was late last night.
dont buy anything for "later"Anyone had good or bad luck with the Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite? It seems to be a good candidate for use now with an 8core and later with a 12core or 16core that doesn't break the bank with features I don't want.
dont buy anything for "later"
get b450 and when you want an upgrade, there will be another generation of CPUs much faster per clock
save/invest your money instead
I got mine msi b450 tomahawk for like 90 EUR
and dont forget that crap of x570 burns power and has a fan
There are x570 boards that are not expensive. Most all have a fan, but its not usually noisey.Eh, my situation is not of that as a new system builder. I'm on the upgrade to last year's ryzen chips path for a lot less money. Makes for a good way to slow upgrade my desktops to all AMD over the next 1-2 years. I am not a huge fan of buying last years mobos unless going brand new and wanting to save money. I've had too many problems in the last ten years with older mobos not liking newer gpus as well as mobo feature improvements that would be nice to have. My thinking is I want to avoid having to to do a full system rebuild (almost necessary with win10 these days anyway) in less than a year.
