Yeah I've got the mobo for it. Its just that my 3600 didn't even remotely show up any signs of chugging in anything whatsoever so far.

Yeah hopefully can sell the 3600 for a decent price, I'll feel less bad about it lol

Yea I was surprised Best Buy was left out in the cold on this one.
I actually saw it for a moment where I got a popup saying "we're releasing them in batches, please wait." Then the button went yellow and did the famous best buy we can't get it in your cart thing.

Realllyyyyy? Best Buy was not listed on AMD's website as having it. I refreshed on the site and it never showed up. Said screw it and drove to Micro Center.
They did it again. It showed up but I couldn't complete the transaction. I'd consider Microcenter if I lived closer but their web site says the one near me says they sold out anyway. (I was hoping Bestbuy would at least ship a few to the local store but I realize they won't bother if they can quickly sell all their stock online.)

Don't know about you guys but I think amd did a good job with stock this morning, for me I could have picked up any of the three skus this morning from both Amazon and newegg, although the 7 and 9s sold out quickly at least I could add to card and think wether I wanted it or not, have a good feeling for the gpu launch. Also props for having mad stock on the lower end consumer item.

I wish my experienced mirrored yours. Couldn't find any of them on Amazon except via direct secret links, but by then it was too late. On Newegg, at 6am on the dot and for the next five minutes, it wouldn't let me complete the purchase. It would accept payment, or appear to, then dump me back at the start of the purchase process. Repeat several times. After five minutes or thereabouts, it changed to out of stock.

Well maybe I should disclosed but I got my links from a discord server so maybe it's not really fair for the average person.

Sorry to hear man. I hope you find one soon.

Same here. Putting my build together now.
Thanks, I still need to get a video card so I figure I can hold off on my build until then and if I happen to get a 5600x in the interrim that should be fine. (Well ok, I can start the build and hold off on the CPU until I get the GPU and at that point if I get a 5600x use that or go with the 3800xt I have currently.)

These CPUs are kicking some fucking ass. Very impressive by AMD.
If anyone wants some comprehensive productivity benchmarks, Puget Systems has a good roundup.

AMD Ryzen 5000 Series CPU Review Roundup
AMD's new Ryzen 5000 Series processors are here, with significant improvements including an advertised 19% improvement in IPC (instructions per clock). This should result in large performance gains across the board, but exactly how well do these CPUs perform in the real world?

They're a good systems integrator, especially for professionals who need performance and reliability. Ask them if they do tours lol.

Waiting for the inevitable 5700X as well. Planning to build a new PC early next year when hopefully they have a release date for that one. My last AMD chip was from the Athlon XP series

No idea, no way to check which version is installed. Trying to use the USB Flashback feature now.
edit: The USB Flashback worked. Now able to boot.

Hey what mobo are you using. I got the Aorus Elite x570. I think it has a flash option, but I'm nervous about hitting the button

GamersNexus 5950X review is brutal with how one sided their benches are. 5ghz boost finally achieved also, as their sample averaged over 5Ghz single core.

Was planning on getting 3600MHz RAM but now seeing that 2000 FCLK is possible I begin to wonder.
If this is a golden sample than I'd probably aim for 3800, if this is even just a "ok"-die than damn... Wonder how much you could squeeze out of that thing on top by just pairing with 4000MHz RAM.

Just so I'm not misunderstanding something here.
I took a look at the benchmarks. It seems like if you game at 1440p and above at higher settings that the gaming performance of the higher-end CPUs is essentially going to be identical outside of some edge cases.
Am I reading that right?

Thats what I’ve decided to do. More money to pour into R6xxx
That's what I would do. Single threaded performance is good and I wouldn't expect much of a difference between them there. (So in a similar vein an intel 10600k is very much the same when it comes to gaming performance as a 10900k) Plus you'll get similar multithreaded performance to a 3700x, 3800x, and 3800xt. (I'm guessing it'll be a while before any game company targets more than a 3700x in multithreaded performance.)

The way things are looking, I'd take the 5600X. I wasn't around for the last go-round of cpu releases from AMD, but it sounds like it was pretty bad. I would expect this launch will be even worse.

Asus Strix B550 Gaming Wifi.
I found a guide on how to do it.
Make sure the computer is off but still has the power cable plugged in.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Awesome. I have an Asus B550i and I have to do this, too. Thanks!

That's insane.
Honestly i think intel will be fucked unless they start to shrink there cpu's to 7nm. they are better off just canning there current project.
