Just got mine today. The first part of my build to come in. Hype level rising! Is it weird to watch an unboxing video of something you have sitting in a box somewhere but can’t open for 2 weeks??? It’s everything I hated about Christmas 🤣
Please, find the highest working Infinity Fabric clock, this knowledge alone would be appreciated. Then try to clock your ram 1:1 with Infinity Fabric, for example at 1900mhz so effectively at 3800mhz, at very loose timing at first and raised voltages. As DDR4 uses really low voltages to save power, and thus overvoltaging is 24/7 safe. After you find the highest Infinity Fabric/memory clock, then use Ryzen DRAM Calculator, find ALL the settings that the Fast preset gives. Put them in BIOS, and use that as starting point for further optimization of timings if you have the time and interest. On Zen2 these settings are much more important than ever before and can increase FPS 30% when paired with 2080ti at 1080p ultra, Hardware Unboxed has great videos on all related to these results and how to use Ryzen DRAM Calculator. After Infinity Fabric and memory is optimized to max, enable PBO2 and possibly other settings that optimize things. Because you have 5700XT and not the best cooling, gaming etc. results are irrelevant, but Cinebench and memory latency and bandwidth tests would be really interesting to know. If you are not interested in doing a video or much of tweaking, at least configure Infinity Fabric to 1833mhz, memory to 3666mhz and do the Ryzen DRAM Calculator phase without any additional manual tuning beyond that. It's really easy, check Hardware Unboxed Ryzen memory.
Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to get it to work 100% stable at 1900FCLK, but no more than that. I had two change two settings in bios to be able to POST at 1900: disable SB spectrum ( auto to disable ) and set VDDSOC load line calibration from auto to 5.
@@metalstress1736 Now if you could find really fast low latency memory and manually tune it with Ryzen DRAM calc. It would be really interesting to see the results. Based on everything I have seen, it should give pretty amazing uplift on performance. Though the highest benefits would be in 1080p gaming with 2080ti. You should beat 9900KS that has the same speed manually tuned memory. And of course completely trash everything Intel has to offer in Cinebench etc.
@@juzujuzu4555 So for memory I am using G.Skill 2x16GB dual rank 4000MHZCL19 memory that is currently running at 3800MHZCL16 100% stable. Benchmark gives me 64ns latency. I haven't tried yet to tighten more the timmings, but I absolutely agree with you, with ryzen, the best place to get some gains is on FCLK and memory overclocking. AMD has put in place alot of limiters that make overclocking the CPU almost impossible. I think all this is going the way of Nvidia that started with limiters a couple of generations ago. Overclocking will be a marketing instrument, curated by the manufacturer without any change from the owner to actually get anything from the chip that the manufacturer doesn't approve. Anyway, I also have a 2080ti and I will upload a video of my build in a couple of days so stay tuned! Will also remove the power limiter of the 2080ti and upload a video about it.
@@metalstress1736 Edit: I had to move this paragraph in the beginning. Your 64ns latency is amazing. 64.7ns is the best I have heard thus far, and based on the results I have seen, lowering latency by 1ns already shows in benchmarks. It's possible that you get the best results on 1080p gaming (LN2 etc excluded) and beat overclocked 9900KS + super fast manually tuned memory. I'm pretty exited to see the results, so good luck and stamina for getting the lowest possible timings/subtimings etc. Memory timings are the most important aspect with Zen 2. Hardware Unboxed tested 3200mhz (1600 FCLK) and 3800mhz (1900 FCLK) memory speeds. When memory timings were optimized with Ryzen DRAM calculator, 3200mhz memory gained 26% on Assassin Creed Odyssey 1080p. The results were like 15% better than the faster ram + FCLK. But with manually tuned timings on the faster memory, it was about 10% faster still (though I don't remember exactly). With 3950X this should be even more important, and even more with PBO2 on. Remember to put that on. Overclocking is pretty dead. But while I LOVED overclocking already in the 90s, I still think it's great that all the performance of the chip is utilized directly. Ryzen is pretty great at this. Still, one RUclipsr tested 3950X with manually overclocking it to 4.4ghz where it was fully stable on games (would almost certainly not be on heavy AVX workloads though, but then again Intel has different frequencies for AVX workloads also) and that overclocking gave much better results. But I think using PBO2 helps to make that gap so small that manual overclocking is not practical. Still, that is something you might try to get the absolute best results possible with your system. I don't know exactly what voltages would be good for your DDR4, but you could raise them somewhat to get stability with low timings. Zen 2 is the first CPU where also the secondary timings are pretty important. Getting all the timings that you can change on your bios to the lowest possible should yield pretty impressive results. I think the reasons behind this are Zen 2's IO die (of course) and the fact that it uses L3 victim cache. The last phase of optimization, which I don't know if it works or what results it brings but it's worth testing, is to increase base clock. If the other components can handle that, it would squeeze the last bits of memory/FCLK speed that's possible. Worth checking at least. I'll subscribe and will be waiting!
@@juzujuzu4555 Thanks for subscribing! I have made some videos of my build taking shape, and also some temperature benchmarking before and after deliding the 3950x that I am sure you will like. Right now I am running the memory at 1.38v and I used the ryzen memory calculator by 1usmus for inspiration on the values. I had to change three settings to get it 100% error free ( compared with the suggestions from the calculator ) , and as this already took almost a week of error and trial I haven't yet dared to go to the second phase that is tightening them even more. Anyway, the asus bios of my crosshair VIII impact is very very buggy, it's a pain it the ass to change anything on it. I have tried PBO2 but it really doesn't seem to do much. It gives me a 100mhz all core boost under load, from about 4100 mhz to 4200mhz and under light load I can see one core hit 4725mhz from time to time.
@@TheContribe luckily I bought it from Amazon and they just gave me a replacement no questions asked which is cool because that was so much money lol. I hope yours gets sorted out too!
That's where I bought mine from. I have to wait 3 days for them to investigate the situation. Just bummed out because this is the last component I needed for finishing my computer build. Now I have wait even longer to get my cpu 🤦♂️
What did u do to get yours replaced because I've been calling non stop and they keep saying they cant do anything about it in the email reply. Saying the package weights the same. It's a cpu they dont weigh much
Indeed, the 3950x, as stated by other viewers, doesn't come with a cooler on the box. I am currently using a heavily modified LiqTech II 240. Will post videos about it soon.
Finally I bought the processor with the corsair h150i pro rgb. The suggested list of all compatible Liquid Cooling systems and model is available on the www.amd.com/en/processors/3950x-thermal-solutions
Okay, so I bought one and the reason the box is so big is because there's a large block of foam taking up the rest of the box. AMD clearly didn't want the CPU to get damaged when shipping to consumers, but this is a little overkill 😋

Nice!!! dude you got the world most powerful desktop processor
I edited this so replies don’t make sense
@@qxe1328 dude i said most powerful DESKTOP CPU not HEDT
@@qxe1328 next DESKTOP i9 is gonna be 10 cores it won't beat this 16 cores

this what im looking for no edit just unboxing.
is it ok that on an unused new Ryzen 9 there are small scratches on the top of the cpu that are visible at a certain angle of light?
Thank you for sharing your unboxing.
I was planning to get one and spend a lot but, I didn't know it need extra cost for cooler :|
The Messiah is here!
Indeed!
This is the best asmr
omg hypee!!!
where is the cooling fan? No come with the cpu?
The 3950x does not come with a heatsink like the other cpu's from AMD.
