Ryzen 3rd Gen Support Thread

I just found out my ROG Strix B350F will support Ryzen 3rd Gen CPUs. Fuck yes. No new purchase needed. Based Asus, based AMD. Fuck intel.

Post your mobos and whether they will receive bios updates to support new cpus.

Bought the same motherboard used for 55$ a few months after it came out, it's pretty good.

Crosshair VI Hero here wat do. what do you guys think about the 16 core?

>Asrock B350-HDV
>still gets bios update

Contemplating buying a new B450 board. But since I don't really overclock, I'd probably just buy the new board after the new processor.

>16 core
Up to your personal needs. For me 12 cores is far more than enough. 8 cores has worked fantastically for me and 4 more would just be all that much better.

2700X here so hmmmm. i dont think ill upgrade this year but yeah, im excited to see the 12c/16c

I'm still rocking a 1700 so 3rd gen is gonna be a major upgrade for me. I'm definitely going for the 3900X.

Congrats, but do you even need to bother upgrading? Does your use case justify it?

You do know that Z170 motherboards can run the 9900K right? Yes you need to mod the BIOS and such, but it works (and it's stable too). Right now the best Z170/Z270 motherboards for modding are the ASRock OC Formula and Supercarrier boards

As an owner of a couple of Crosshair 6s, this better have PCIe 4.0 support on the first slot REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

damn tho, the VII owners are lucky, im sure they can have the first slot and the top nvme slot at pcie 4.0. shit is near at the cpu. 1st x16 slot at c6h isnt a problem, the question is, weill the nvme slot at the bottom do it?

>1st x16 slot at c6h isnt a problem,
You sure? The AMD chart only shows X470 is PCIe 4 ready in the faint print above the dot. Even B450 doesn't have that print.

As long as the first port is 4.0 I'm good. I can place my GPUs at the middle/bottom--they are lower-end GTX 1x60 anyway. As for Gen 4 NVMe SSDs I just need to get a $3 NVMe to PCIe adapter from aliexpress and it should work.

also reminder that we can bifurcate the 2nd x16 slot to x4/x4. if that can handle pcie 4.0, than damn, we are good.

I have an 1800X with Asrock Taichi X370. Not sure if Asrock is gonna support Zen 2 on it, they've kind of butchered the BIOS on the X370 over the months. Can be unreliable. At some point, I really want to be able to do 144hz gaymin as well as more FPS in VR. Current options are...

>build new rig with 3900X, X570, RX 5070, and 32GB of DDR4 @ 4GHz+
>upgrade to a 3800X and Navi on X370
>go with a budget upgrade for now, just slap in a 3700X in with maybe an RX 5060 and do a bigger upgrade for Zen 3
>don't upgrade at all, wait™ a little longer for either 16c 3950X, Zen 2 TR or Zen 3 next year

Fucking baller, I'd personally go with budget cos that's still beastly, then full balls to the wall upgrade when new socket comes out with zen3

ASUS ROG Strix X470-F with a 2700x

dont think ill need to upgrade though im pretty sure ill be fine, might hop on another CPU for the 7nm+ series

yeah, I'm feeling more inclined to the less costly option, thanks. $650-$700 for a single thread IPC uplift and a GPU upgrade from my RX 480 would keep me going for a little while longer. then I can save my money for the first DDR5 based Ryzen CPUs, and build a complete new rig then

>1700
>msi x370
yeah nope
and holy fuck why is there literally 0 decent micro-atx boards for AM4?

1600 with a Crosshair VI Hero here.
As long as I can upgrade to one of the new eight cores no problem then I'm good. Don't even care for PCIe 4.0

Asscock seems to be the only m-atx B450M with dual heatsinks on VRM others either have only 1 or none.
Even ITX boards are better than m-atx on the AM4 platform.

8 core is easy, it's the 12/16 that will be hard on the VRMs.

>Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 5
>Received bios update for "Raven2 and upcoming CPU" support
It will most likely get support, but I don't think it will be able to handle an overclocked 12-core.

just finetune your memory and then crank pbo a bit then set a pretty cool undervolt.

ASUS Prime X370-Pro here, got 4801 update (support Ryzen 3rd gen) too.

I don't know much about chipsets- what are the actual downsides of keeping an x370 board for Zen 2?

I'm using the same board, fingers crossed for full line or Zen2 and not just a few of them. Personally waiting for 16C or bust. Newer Prime Pro boards are shit.

No PCIE 4.0, ram speeds limited, less M.2 lanes etc. Depending on VRM, you might be hitting the limit. Though I don't think Zen2 will be that great of an overclocker, AMD already has the chips almost to the limit.

Enjoy your halved clocks

no problem with mine too, but probably gonna use my 2700X for this year too.

>mod the BIOS
Just listen to yourself. This is some absolute next-level cope.

Yeah I'm only using a 1700. A 3900X will definitely be a leap up.

>At some point, I really want to be able to do 144hz gaymin
Don't fall for this stupid meme. FPS is far more GPU reliant than CPU. I can get +150fps with my 1700 and 1080ti at 1440p, around 75-85 on 60hz/2160p. Also good RAM helps, I use 3200mhz RAM.

Asus my man. I lost faith in MSI products about 4 years ago. After trying various mobos, I am absolutely sold on ROG STRIX mobos.

Nice. Based ASUS updating all our boards.
>halved clocks
Based schizo poster

Naw. MSI products may look good but their materials and engineering are garbage.
I haven't used GB products in a

*awhile

I have this, it has a bios update but I'm not sure if the VRM's can handle a 3900X. I wish there were more options for mATX.

Good shit OP, I got the same mobo

Is X570 going to provide better overclocking support and shit for the new CPU lineup and RAM? Not sure I'm willing to pay extra just for the mobo fan and completely useless PCI-E 4.

I want to get this for the 3700X (fuck paying more then 100$ for a motherboard) but I've read you need to put an old gen ryzen in there to update the bios to actually support 3700X. Wonder how that will work since I don't have a ryzen cpu.

Say I want to get something binned low for Zen 2 like a Ryzen 3 or a 3400G

Any forseen downsides to using an X370 board?

>Asrock Taichi X370
>144hz
I have this board. It supports Zen 2.
I would slap a 3700X in it and unlock it with PBO, since the board is excellent and can handle it and that CPU will have excellent single-thread performance.
Then, down the line, if you feel like you need more performance, slap in a 16c Zen 2 when they become cheaper close or after Zen 3 launch.

By the way, I have a 1600X and I can play lots of games at 144fps.

I'm hoping someone does a ton of benchmarks on motherboard choices for 3rd-gen Ryzen. I wonder if there is any better stability or OC headroom with the X570 vs the older specs.

how do you check if your mobo supports ryzen 3000?

MSI B450M MORTAR
Ryzen 3rd gen support: YES

I'm probably going to get a 3800X or 3900X. Which mobo should I pair it with?

I'm on a 1600 / B350 right now so there's no way that's going to work.

>durr fuck intel their price/performance is garbage
>buys a full price replacement cpu for 10% synthetic gains over what he has now and puts it in a substandard motherboard that AMD cautions against

ASUS Z77
Yes

AMD's prices enable my poor choices better.

Sure hope my msi b350m mortar will support it too

x470 prime pro. not sure if its vrm thingies can deal with 3900x

B350
Nope...

ASUS UPDATING EVEN AN INTEL MOTHERBOARD TO WORK WITH RYZEN? BASED AF.

It'll have better VRMs sure, but we don't know if Zen2 are any good at overclocking yet, by the time the refined 4000 series ryzen comes out they will have another 600 series board that may or may not still have the stupid cooling fan.

Check the box bios version before you buy it. The Prime X370 Pro does not support bios flash back so you will need some sort of supported CPU to update the bios.
