Check for any necessary adjustments in your 3950x configuration.
Bios has been updated to the newest release. AMD 3950x MSI X570 Tomahawk Wifi Arctic Freezer II 360mm 32gb Vengeance 3600mhz m2 Sabrent 1TB EVGA 1080TI. Everything in Bios is set by default unless XMP is enabled and GameBoost is activated. Temperatures are 36°C idle and 65°C max. This is my first build with AMD and MSI (previously used a 8700k on a gigabyte Aorus). Any adjustments you should make in Bios?
Awaiting a better PC setup was inevitable. As noted, having the AMD info in October doesn’t guarantee the 3950x will be available this year—releases tend to be staggered. By the way, the 3950 is great! Handbrake’s transcoding and 7zip compression are impressive, and installing an 89GB Wabbajack SkyrimVR Ultimate mod list was incredibly fast—I barely had time to make a drink. x264 streaming at 1440p with 8500bitrate and all features on uses under 20% CPU. I love it!
Congratulations on your PC setup! You might experiment with PBO for a bit—this can boost multithreaded speed slightly, though it may raise temperatures. If you’re not aiming for heavy overclocking, you’re in good shape!
