I'm pretty sure Johan used the board in his 3700x / 3900x review. Check it out.

If you scroll down through the review, about 3/4 way down you will see a headline of X470 Compatibility …… There are a few guys here on X470 / B450 boards. Some had a not bad transition other had some issues, I can't remember the details now.

The 3900X ran fine on the CHVII the only minor issue was the mem controller was dropping speed too early but that easily fixed by setting the fCLK manually. This was also an older BIOS. I plan on doing some additional testing but have another review on the bench right now.

nevermind found it

 

[leo5111]

ya i was wondering if the newer bios fixes memory issue you tested like 2 bios ago

 

[leo5111]

well 3900x is in and 2700x is in sale section

Depends on your cooler. 1.35-1.38 tops for a daily oc. if your cooler can handle the temps. Typically 1.33 is the sweet spot.

 

[leo5111]

should i shut off per core in bios? and cooler is custom 360 rad raystorm pro waterblock and https://www.newegg.com/p/37B-0003-002K1 has 2 of em one on intake one on outflow

 

[leo5111]

for the board i have do i set the vcore to say 1.33 or what? i mean is there a offset or soemthing or just leave offset off?

 

[bassnut]

Have you looked at the RYZEN Overclocking guide. …. https://www.overclockers.com/amd-ryzen-overclocking-guide/

 

[leo5111]

from what i could see he just set to manual voltage but i didnt see mention about pbo on or off

 

[EarthDog]

PBO is auto... that is a manual guide. Do you want pbo or manual? If pbo, enable and enjoy!

Yes, I am using the 3900X on my C7H. Replaced a 2700X. I am BOINC cruncher looking for more RAC. Right now the 3 gpu host is approaching the RAC of my 4 gpu 2920X host. All core clock of [email protected] and 3600CL14 Fast memory timings. Other than the issue with the WMI BIOS shutting off fan headers, I really like it. On the latest 2703 BIOS so I can boot my Ubuntu 19.04 development partition again. Run Ubuntu 18.04.3 normally as my daily driver. I can recommend it.
