5900X3D is for people who want to game but want more than 8 threads for other purposes. It'd be a pretty tempting product to me.

I don't quite understand what Agreed is even saying, but if an Epyc CPU with 8 of the fuckers can be cooled by server heatsinks, a 5900X3D is totally possible for consumers.

The X3Ds are hot because they're thermally insulated, not because they're pulling more power. Think of the 3D cache* as a nice silicon blanket keeping your CPU toasty warm.

*or technically, the silicon blanks that stack on top of the cores

The Epycs all have 8 CCDs and the 7773x is the sku with all 8 cores enabled on each. Its base clock is 2.2GHz, max boost is 3.5 GHz and default TDP is 280W. The r7 and r9 skus are all 105W default TDP.

So yes, I'd say a 5900x3d is possible but that nobody would like the clock speed.

yes, allegedly. suggested that AM5 being DDR5 only with availability and pricing being as they are means they need a competitive DDR4 product, which could extend AM4's lifetime a bit. all rumours at this stage but i would buy a 5600X3D and sell my 3900x for it i think.

Ugh, if a 5600X3D is likely to be a reality that makes me further reconsider getting a 5800X3D now. Although going to 8 cores still has some appeal.

no, no, AMD was very clear that non-gaming users derive no benefit whatsoever from cache, which is why cache was a design focus of zen3 and milan-x

cache seems rilly good, frankly. it's not just gaming either right, there were some weird outlier cases (i wanna say winrar) that also seemed to significantly respond to the extra. it wouldn't surprise me if they were motivated to mature the technology and move it into the consumer space after how well the 5800X3D did. but that may be wishful thinking from someone who would really friggen like a 5600X3D, lol

AM5 is really tempting to grab right off the bat, but I think it'll be worth waiting around a year for it to get sorted out since it's an all new platform. I'm really hoping the next generation video cards don't end up like 2020 again, I expect the initial wave to sell out quickly but hopefully restocks happen more often and with more volume. There certainly is a glut of 30 series cards all over my local craigslist, and I feel like they're going to be relevant for a while.

I'd like to upgrade my CPU first. I'm hoping to get something like an RX 6600 XT to pair with it.

Right now I'm looking at:

Ryzen 5 5600G $220CAD
Ryzen 5 5600 $240CAD
Ryzen 5 5600X $265CAD

Not really sure what I should pick...help?

This, but also be aware you will need to update the BIOS on that motherboard if you haven't already for it to be able to run a newer generation CPU.

i'd go with the 5600x since it's only a little bit more than the 5600 and g models generally. You'll also need a new motherboard because I don't think the 350 series boards support Vermeer. Good news is that x570 and B550 motherboards can be had for real cheap now especially second hand.

lih

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

We'll do punctuation later.
the 5600 is the best value there - 5600X is only marginally better (a few percent at most, often less than that) while that's a 10% increase in price

the 5600G comes with an integrated GPU but is otherwise significantly worse than the 5600, it's not just the same chip with a GPU added. there is no reason to get it unless you are building a very budget build without a discrete GPU

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AB350M-Gaming-3-rev-1x/support#support-cpu

it looks like there shouldn't be motherboard compatibility issues, though it is worth checking that for old B350 motherboards in general, not all models have firmware updates to support Zen 3

Yeah, I'd had my eye on a 3600 for a long time and was pleasantly surprised to see Gigabyte update the bios to allow for Vermeer.

Thanks for the help, folks. I think I'll grab the 5600 pretty quick here. Think I'll put the difference towards a new case. Then it'll *really* feel like a new PC.

Ask me about that time I told people mixing bleach and vinegar is okay
So amd came out with some new chipset drivers and they helped cool down the 5800x3d
Then they dropped another driver like a month later and it's been running cooler.

Nope, but make sure you’ve installed a BIOS update with support for the new CPU before the upgrade.

That's fine; the 5800X3D doesn't consume a ton of power, and can't be overclocked anyways.

You can coax it close to 130W with a power virus like prime95 with the right settings.

You’re fine with a 700W PSU and a 3070, i run a 5800x3d with a 3080 on a 650W PSU.

Yo, I thought AGESA 1.2.0.2 was supposed to squash the USB bug for good? My USB devices have all been flaky as gently caress ever since I updated BIOS to try and solve a different problem over the weekend, and the last version before the most recent BIOS is back on 1.0.0.6.

Like, before, it was just my USB DAC that I would have to unplug and replug because it would malfunction after coming back from sleep, but now I've got microblips (that are just quick little power cuts that make the backlight on my keyboard blink without actually triggering the "beep-boop..... boop-beep!" of a USB device disconnecting and reconnecting) with my keyboard either making it drop inputs entirely, or stick a key down, and it's getting me killed in games.

Maybe. There are other possibilities for USB issues you can investigate. Are you using any hubs? Are you using a port that relies on an internal cable?

Have you gone in your BIOS and changed PCIE4 to PCIE3? I had very similar issues and that’s what ended up fixing USB issues for me and several others.

Doesn’t mean something isn’t iffy, especially with internal cables. USB is a horribly abused spec in practice, something can go from working to not because the tolerance for something out of spec changed slightly

Yes. And so was every other AGESA update they've put out since officially acknowledging the problem.

If you have a non-X570, you probably have some ports on the mobo that come from the Asmedia chipset chip rather than the CPU. If you put devices on that, do they still have problems?



Also I had some super hosed crazy stuff with my machine after updating from 1.0.0.6 to 1.2.0.x -- mine's an X370 so likewise is missing that whole gap. For me it was memory being apparently faulty: I had extremely consistent memtest errors, all in the same address range, at any ram speed. Ok, that's bad ram. Went ahead and bought new. I was thinking about getting 32gb anyways.

The next day I decided to find which stick was bad, to run just one while waiting for shipping. Pulled 1 stick, no errors. Ok, pull that one and put in the other stick. No errors. WTF? Put both sticks back in. No errors. What. The. gently caress.

Could it be.. the bios update? I flashed back to 1006. Memtest ok. Flashed to 1.2.0.6 again. Memory errors came back! And regular reset to defaults in the bios menu didn't fix anything -- I'd tried that the first day. It needed to fully reset the memory training.


tl;dr: do a full cmos clear with the hard jumper / switch when doing a long bios jump

I've got 2 more X570 mobos, identical to mine. I swapped chips and did some other stuff, the latest bioses are unstable as gently caress. I was even getting power offs for no apparent reason. Downgraded to 1.006 same as you and back to stability and actually less USB poo poo. Still happening though.

Yes a Renesas USB 3.0 card fixes it but at this point, AMD can gently caress right the hell off (or the mobo manufactures). Back to Intel.

I had other weird memory problems that only went away after a full CMOS reset forced memory to be retrained. I've now formed a cargo cult church of CMOS reset if all else fails. This was on an x570 board.

v1ld posted:

Learned an unamusing lesson: the board would simply not POST with 4 sticks though either of the 2 stick combos worked individually. Even tried at 2133MHz JEDEC settings, no dice with 4 sticks. Finally tried seating all 4 and resetting CMOS - it trained on the memory and no problems since.

I tried to update my B450 tomahawk to the latest bios with the new AGESA version and it wouldn't even post. As soon as I went back to the 2020 release it booted up fine. My B550 Mortar seems fine on the latest version though, so perhaps MSI just hosed that one up. I'm only running a 2600 in the older board so no harm no foul I guess.

Least bios flashback still worked.

Do always try a bios reset if there is anything weird after a flash. I don’t know the specifics of x86 UEFI but sometimes it seems settings aren’t cleared or carried forward correctly.
