Bought myself a birthday present last month - upgraded to a Ryzen 3800x with all new hardware besides the GPU. Couldn't find a 3900x anywhere so I settled, but am very happy with the results so far even tho I have a few concerns.
For reference: Ryzen 3800x/Gigabyte X570 Auros Pro-Wifi/32gb Corsair Vengeance/EVGA 1080ti SC2 Hybrid/1tb Sabrent Rocket NVME PCIe 4.0/850 Corsair PSU
After about 3 weeks of playing around with settings I think I have it set the way I want. Couple concerns tho. In HWiNFO it shows my CPU as an Engineering Sample. This normal? Core clocks are boosting very well for me, but often the fastest core (according to Ryzen Master) isn't boosting as fast as other cores. Is this normal? I manually set the dram voltage to 1.36 however it shows more like 1.38 and fluctuates in monitoring tools - again is this normal? Last question xD has anyone found a way to speed up boot times? I've disabled CSM, but my rig still takes about 18 secs to boot. It's the POST that takes a while, when it actually gets into loading Windows it's very fast.
Some interesting things if you want to read:
I can get almost all cores to boost to 4.5ghz some even go beyond 4.6+ and only 1 core missed, but hit 4.469 (HWiNFO). I did set the blck to 101 to offset the 99.8 that was annoying me. I tried disabling speed spectrum, manually setting the blck to 100, etc. It always reported 99.8. Used the memory XMP profile, but slightly bumped up the speed to 3733, fabric clock to 1867, and voltage to 1.36. After setting the blck to 101 it now runs at 3770. Ryzen Master shows the mem clock and fabric clock are still coupled at 1867. I also set a very slight offset for the CPU in the BIOS - I forget the value right now, but I will edit this post in a few. Edit: -.03570 offset. I've ran a handful of benchmarks to ensure my PC is stable: AIDA64/Cinebench15/3D Mark/WinMemoryDiagnostic/etc. Latest BIOS for my mobo ABBA.

I'm happy very happy with the new rig. No complaints, but I can never learn enough it seems and want to get some more answers..hopefully from you guys. Thanks for your time.
