Based on reading this, air cooling should be able to be used with all these processors, since it can even be used with the 7950X. This makes me want to get a new motherboard just to use this magnificent processor lol. I take it our motherboards aren't compatible with it?

No, different socket, etc. From what I've read our Mobo is going to top out at the 5950X. (there was a 5800x3D with more cache, but from what I read the 5950x performed better overall?) And I've already missed the sale on the 5900x when they were half priced... Chit! And yes I see air coolers for the 5950x.

If it helps the 7950x is not a "huge" difference from the 5950x. But the 5950x IS a "HUGE" difference from the 2700x we got now...

Yea those RAM compatibility lists are causing me headaches... Why does it list 8x16gb when we only have 4 slots? And then you try and find the same RAM to BUY, but the part number will be slightly different...? So that defeats the point of using the compatibility list? I've never been that picky buying RAM. I used to just buy the same DDR/Pin and be done...? But I've never spent 3-400 bucks on RAM either... The $180-190 64GB sets seem to all be slower RAM? (Crucials compatibility tool lists some faster RAM, but none of it's in stock that I saw?)



Question for anyone who knows. RAM that's listed as compatible for the 5950X 3rd gen processors, is that not going to be compatible with the 2nd gen 2700x? OR is it just not going to work "as well" as it does with the 3rd gen processor? (and it looks like the RAM I was looking at is now out of stock anyway... Chit!)

Maybe I'll just buy RAM listed for the 5950X and let it sit till I get the processor and then put them both in.

Also, can we upgrade to the latest BIOS with the 2700x? Cause I could at least start that process and try and get ready for when I have new hardware. If I can ever find it in stock again...




Also, I wanted to thank the MOD that did the magic to let me start posting... Thanks!

Using the same RAM modules (w/ specific timings) on both CPUs with 100% success it is just like a lottery win. It might work it might not.

Regarding the BIOS update, I do have another similar question; Is downgrading from the latest version 6042 to 4804 possible ? Or there is a "lock" ? Has anyone tried this scenario successfully ?

Hello, i'm asking here because i'm getting frustated about it.. I have installed win11 with the firmware TPM activated without problems.. about a month ago Win11 said that i don't have TPM and i was surprired, i looked into the bios and checked that i had firmware tpm and the i gone into the trusted computing and.. No security device, no matter i changed these options or even flashed the last bios again.. Nothing, even cleaning the CMOS, ¿Any advice?


Bios version: 6042
CPU: 2700x

Just read a comment on OCN that the new 1.2.0.8 for the CH7 allowed PBO/neg offset, but no CO adjustment on a 5800X3D. X470-F and PRO might follow soon, as for the X470-I it's out too.
Edit: 6061 Beta w/ 1.2.0.8 is out now (link).

I realize this is a pretty old thread now, but for those people interested, 6042 gives me a 100-125 MHz lower all core boost compared to 6024 on a 5800x3d in cinebench r23.

I've read a few similar experiences on the X3D thread on OCN going from 1.2.0.6x to 1.2.0.7 on other boards (likely due to a bit extra voltage), but some settled on the latest .7s for the newly added bios options to negate it without external software to adjust PBO/CO. So,
- Does the 6024 1.2.0.7 allow to tweak either PBO (lower only)/CO/neg vcore voltage offset on a 5800X3D? Also, any difference to previous bios in that regard? I'll pop one on my board soonish, thanks.

Hello, i'm asking here because i'm getting frustated about it..

Ensure you have boot set to UEFI only, CSM disabled and reboot. Then if Firmware is selected on the lower menu, with some luck TPM will finally show available to enable on the upper Trusted Computing menu (might as well try to set it to discrete, save+reboot, then firmware, save+reboot). Try to remember if you've also changed any other seemingly unrelated bios setting just the before the issue started that could interfere on boot (as SAM, or try temporarily without fast boot in case it helps re-detecting fTPM).
If all fails, you can try going back to 5861 bios as it has an older SMU for Pinnacle Ridge (lacks fTPM stutter fix). If it comes back working, could be a bug on later versions vs Zen+.
Unfortunately I can't help you hands on. The 2600X I previously had in a X470-F under 5861/1.2.0.3c didn't seem to exhibit fTPM detection issues, but OTH, it was manually disabled under the Trusted Computing menu for W10. GL

Thanks, i tried those things but no luck.. even as far to reactivate my serial port again, so maybe it's true and it's somekind of a bug... We can't go back easily to an older bios don't we?

[AlleyViper]

As a last resort, maybe even try to re-seat CPU in case of a bad pin contact?
The lack of Flashback on this mb is surely a pain. Given that all these latest bios are ComboAM4v2, it might still be possible to revert safely if the bios menu doesn't complain, but better wait on someone with more knowledge to give you a hint on that.

I want to thank them too! This forum had lots of site errors for a long time after my last post at the end of November until now; it's fixed, so happy about that!

So all the 64 GB RAM is slower? Crucial, Corsair, etc.? It sounds like we should just stick with 32 GB RAM then? I'm not sure anyone uses this board with 64 GB RAM anyway and has anyone ever tried 128 GB RAM to see if it even works? Maybe 8x16 GB actually means dual sided RAM and so they are counting each stick of RAM twice?

I take it 5950X is the best CPU we can get for this board, does anyone use it on this board and on air cooling? Since the 7950x can be run on air cooling the same should be possible with the 7950x?

Also, what is the best video card that one should use with this board? I'm thinking of upgrading everything at the same time so might as well do that too. I still have my Geforce 1060 6 GB card. I also have an 850W Thermaltake PSU if that helps. I'm hoping not to have to upgrade that lol. I take it all my new stuff should work with that PSU? Thanks!

As an aside, in some motherboard or windows update, I lost the ability to Hibernate my computer. I can only set it to Sleep mode but even when I do that it turns off. The option to Hibernate or even Hybrid mode is completely gone and I used the guides that are supposed to turn it on but none of them work, the option simply isn't there anymore like it used to be.

Should this be downloaded on a 2700x?
