It looks like all X570 mobo's have an active chipset cooler, I see opportunities for the likes of EKWB open-loop coolers...
So who is up for a Ryzen 9 3900X from July 7?
depends who's buying ;P
here's a Red vs Blue matchup someone did

As the 3900X would need a new X570 mobo to make fully use of the new features the Ryzen 3000 series delivers it might be a expensive purchase -especially in view of the RAM needed to feed 24 threads...Quote:

one thing of concern (on top of board price rumors) is that the 1000 series might not be supported... not sure what's up with that. also, if that's the case, i'm trying to see if Ryzen 2000 APUs will work (1000 series CPU arch in them). tho it would be dumb if those weren't allowed
Well, there are Ryzen 3000 APUs too, soon -though with less cores than rumoured...
What are the new TDP on these units? Is the efficiency gain enough to reclaim some of the extra cost?
https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ry....421145.0.html with quotes as :
"The Ryzen 5 3400G and the Ryzen 3 3200G continue to be based on the 12nm Zen+ architecture that AMD internally refers to as 'Picasso'. This means that 7nm APUs codenamed 'Renoir' will only be seen sometime in 2020."
"From the above information, we see that there aren't any drastic changes to the Ryzen 3000 APUs apart from slight frequency boosts. The cores, threads, and cache configurations are expected to be carried over from the previous generation so the increased speeds might not actually translate into significantly improved real-world performance."
or just use this like i used on the 24 watt X58 IOH: http://thermalright.com/product/hr-05ifx/Quote:

I'm considering the Corsair H115i for CPU cooling with 2 Noctua 120mm fans in push pull configuration.
For power I have a Corsair 850AX available.
Now my question for the forum.
Should I buy DDR4 RAM from the ASUS QVL for the motherboard? G-Skill has plenty of products on the Qualified Vendor List.
Should I get RAM faster than 3200?
Should I get a pair of 16GB sticks, or 4 x 8GB sticks?
OS will be Windows 10 64 Enterprise.
GPU will be an MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X.
The ASUS QVL list guarantees that the said sticks will work -for what it is worth: 50% of those sticks is not for sale and/or too small.
I do not think that any project we run is dependent on the MHz of your RAM above 3200 -but there is latency to consider too.
Two sticks of 16GB will give better results -and higher speeds- than four of 8GB, and it is easier to install yet 32 GB more when it appears that certain projects need more GB per thread.
BTW: Buy two 140mm Noctua's for the Corsair H115i. If you insist on 120mm fans, buy a H150i, but buy three fans.
I look forward to seeing some numbers from that beast :)
Price-wise (some 830 Euro's) it is here between the (also 16-cores) Threadripper 1950X (560 Euro's) and the 2950X (975 Euro's).
A disappointed miner here offers a complete Threadripper 1950X set
(Threadripper 1950X Processor, incl watercooling; ASUS PRIME X399-A Mobo; G.SKill 8GB Aegis DDR4-3000; Seasonic Focus 450W Gold PSU; 120GB WD Green SATA SSD; Gainward GeForce GT710 Video card 1GB)
for a mere 550 Euro's....it is only the 180 Watt tdp that holds me back -and his questionable choices of parts. I bet it is not a top-of-the-bill watercooler....
