I may just try and sell my 2700x and keep the extra 3900x
Lol, do it. I am selling my 2700X, 8700k and z390 as soon as the 3600 arrives from Best Buy.
I had $30 off from BB, so, it was a no brainer.
Going in the X470-Pro.

Well, the problem is, I have 2 2700x's and 3 Xeon2683v3's idle, to save on power *the electric bill is over $500 a month)That could work too. No reason not to have another 4 cores in the house right?
No, based on my experience thus far with my R5 3600. AIO WC or bust. These things run HOT. Also note, paste application, need to cover ENTIRE heatspreader, a dab in the middle may not be enough. (*That may be my problem. If I re-paste, and things improve temp-wise, I'll let you all know.)Do you guys think the stock cooler will be OK in a small case like my Riotoro CR1080 which has limited ventilation? Doubt I'll overclock.
Crucial is the retail division of Micron, Micron makes all their own chips in the USA.
They are also very underrated, as they spec for maximum stability.
They should be able to clock 3466 or 3333 with a bit of tweaking, or run 3200 with tightened timings, maybe even 3600 OC, but I have not put anything together yet.
G.Skill uses whatever chips they can get their hands on.
Thanks. According to Ryzen Master software, vcore is changing between 1.213 and 1.250 or something around that. HWMonitor has a set of VID#0-5, they are bouncing around inside that range too.@VirtualLarry does your motherboard support negative voltage offset? I've seen quite a few people getting their temps down with a -0.1 to -0.15 V offset and maintaining the same all core turbo clocks. 1.465V has been turning up a lot on PBO boosts and that seems way too high for stock operation so check if your chip is hitting that kind of voltage.
lol $500/mo... I'd be interested in a 2700X if you should so choose to part with one or both.

Its also possible your motherboard is over-volting it. I would see if you can figure out stock vcore, and manually set it to that.Thanks.

I just have to try my 3900x or my 2700x in the X370 board. It only had an 1800x and that is gone.Flashed my Gigabyte (A)X370 Gaming K7. Used the BIOS dip switches to manually select each of the dual BIOS chips to flash. So it took me 3 flashes each, since I needed to flash to F30 before flashing to F31, then installing the EC firmware update, then flashing from F31 to F40...
Now I have an X370 board ready to accept a 3000 series chip, and can safely sell this 2700X without needing to slot in another Gen1 or Gen2 chip to BIOS flash.
I realized that I was running the older 1.06 chipset drivers, and new 1.07 had been released 7/7/2019. Plus new RX 570 dGPU drivers too, 19.7.1.Thanks.

PSA for people who ordered a 3900x from Best Buy:
Anyone who ordered Sunday morning got a pre-order, NOT an actual order for product. They'll fill the pre-orders on a first-come, first-serve basis as they get stock. I called to ask when they will have units in stock, and they say that they don't know. I'm guessing either the 12th or the 18th/19th since those were the stock dates advertised by B&H who (unlike Best Buy) put up a pre-order on Sunday and labeled it as such. The pessimist in me says it will be the 19th before Best Buy is able to ship a 3900x to anyone.
Newegg didn't get my mobo out by cut off time so now my parts won't be here on my day off to complete my build on Thursday. I'm filled with indescribable first world sadness now. Please send pics of your builds to get me through the day.

That's not Amazon, that's some nobody scalperNow the 3900x is $620 on Amazon !
