I pushed it beyond its limits using the weakest Asus motherboard available. The B450M-A is fine, but with a high TEC rating. I’ll check the video later, though I might need some seasoning. Lisa clearly said at launch that all AMD Ryzen chips will be unlocked—no problem, I’m not interested in searching for a clip and will just watch your one instead.
That image raises a curious point... it looks like the Zen designation isn't included in this naming system, right? (like Zen, Zen 2, Zen 3.)
This video looks intriguing. I suspect some discussions around X series Ryzens overclocking might exist here. Around one-third of the way through, there seems to be a mention of BIOS updates. A newer BIOS could be relevant, especially since your B450-I appears to have a fresh one. Should you try it? The 220ge is already in your wife's setup, so you'll need to switch to the 200ge. It’s a de-lidded unit, and that shouldn’t matter much.
He tested various boards and models, all with locks. I had a completely different outcome. Also, hitting 3600x clocks was intense!
This part of the Ryzen naming system is quite funny. The first number usually shows the architecture version—counting zen+ as 2 and zen 2 as 3—but then APUs and mobile devices move one step ahead, while AF chips slip back a bit. It's all about the reasons behind it!
It seems they designed it to be nearly the same as the 2xxGE series except for unique overpowered traits. When it activates its overpowered form, it performs exceptionally well.
About a 3.9GHz stable, with a 4GHz option available. Might consider upgrading to an Athlon chip. It's different from this board, so it's interesting to learn more. Appreciate the advice!
Certainly love receiving appreciation for this discussion! ... alright, I’ll make sure to do it! Thanks!
