Ryzen 7 3800xt

[Sam F]

I have a B450 Aorus pro wifi rev.1 with a R7 3800xt. I overclocked it to 4.4 or 4.5 GHZ all core and could not figure out a stable voltage because the bios only goes to add 0.3v. I set it to auto and it freezes in bios when i hit save and exit.

Honestly i wouldnt have gotten a 3800XT, Why would you get that CPU? 

 

You may just want to try not having a Manual Clock speed, rather try out different settings for PBO and see if you can get more performance. If not 4.4 tends to be the sweet spot for 3800x cpus usually around 1.325-1.375v. If you cant edit without bios crashing or freezing, flash the bios again.

I wanted the 3800x for the higher clock speed and overclocking so I don't get a CPU bottle neck from my previous 3600.

How do I figure out what my bios starting bios is? It only has an option to add voltage.

I mean the 3900x should have been the same price and would clock about the same. What exactly are you trying to not get bottlenecked by? In gaming they are going to be pretty much the same, what other tasks do you do?

So the 3900x was a little out of my budget because I got the 3800xt on sale. I do gaming with a 3080 and maybe a 3090 soon but i also do video editing .

You dont need a 3090 at all. Im curious how much you paid for a 3800xt if it was on sale. 3900x around here go for 370-400. Also how is a 3900x out of your budget, but a 3090 isnt? 

 

You didnt really upgrade much if im honest with you. You didnt really reduce the "bottleneck" with performance, if you are to believe the new CPUS Rumored performance, they will simply be a much better option then what you got, but you probably wont be able to buy them for a while. If you Game at 1440p/2160p you wont really notice a difference, but if you are a 1080p gamer then there is a slight difference between the best ones at what you got.

so your saying a r5 3600 wont be bottlenecked by a 3080 or 3090?

Depends on what you are doing. What im saying is a 3800XT is not going to be much if at all any better then a 3600, especially in gaming. They are currently behind intel in performance vs the 10900k/10700k by around 10-20% in Gaming at 1080p. At 1440p and 2160p, there is pretty much no difference between most of the games on those cpus with a few exceptions.

 

IMO you should return the 3800XT and wait for the ryzen 500 series to come out, look at the reviews and see what you like. They should be much better for what you are looking for.

[Sam F]

Any specific one you recommend?

I got my 3800x for $250 from a friend that works at amd and that's why I got it. It is a improvement from the 3600 for 1080p gaming and I have also noticed a difference for video rendering. I didnt want to have a imbalanced system with a 3080.

I would be astonished if it was a noticeable difference unless your 3600 was just a defective product. Like it shouldn't be more then 5 FPS and you should already be well above the FPS threshold. 250$ for it because a friend works at amd? That doesnt make much sense they dont sell their own CPUS o.o but i wont question that further  

 

Well youd have to wait a bit, the only CPU youd be able to buy would be the 5800x at 400$, the 5900x is going to be 550$ while the 5950x will be 800$

 

[Sam F]

ok, I like my 3800xt and its working for me right now. I gain 2 more cores and higher clock speed.

My freind just has a lot of cpus for engineering or somthing

Thank you for your help tho.

On desktop youll have to run a Monitoring software. Hardware info or Ryzen master and then see what your voltages are. Resetting to default on auto then manually seeing them. Each board follows a pattern but its not exactly the same.

Also I noticed my cpu isnt boosting on all stock settings, have any idea what thats from?
