I am planning to put together a Ryzen 3K build.
Main use is running VMs, compiling huge C++, C#, maven projects, running some ML programs and very light gaming.
Dual boot running Windows 10 with Linux in a VM and running Linux with Windows 10 in VM
I have some questions
1. RAM : I already have Trident Z 3200 CL14 non RGB, 2x8 GB. Can I add two more Trident Z 3200 RGB 2x8 with the build. How would the RAM speed be like? will it run at its rated speed and latency values?
2. Is the Processor buggy, like the Linux seg fault for 1st gen Ryzen? I have the 1700X and I get hit with the seg fault very often especially when compiling with many threads. Sometimes my VM would just crash and exit killing my files
3. I am planning to use my B350 Prime, because I dont overclock, would it suffice or the processor will be throttling a lot? Or should I get a new board instead.
4. PCIe Gen3 is Ok for me, I have one NVMe drive which I run my VMs off, and I backup to normal SSDs.
5. Quiet is important for me, so does the 3900X have the 20 degrees Celsius offset which made my fans spin up unnecessarily? I have a Noctua NH L9 x 65 and a Corsair Hydro RGB H110i, would the included cooler be better than the ones I have?
6. Which thermal paste?
I use QEMU a lot inside my Linux and Linux VMs and I hope the single thread performance is a signigicant boost over my 1700X, since QEMU is not really multithreaded properly and I have to wait so much to power up QEMU instances.
Anyone can share experiences?
I am worried about the BIOSes cooking the CPU with too much voltage, I will use this thing for work stuff.
I wanted to buy the RX5700 but I think I would need a card with stronger compute, just not too much power like the Vega. Gaming would be an afterthought.
