AMD Radeon RX 580 vs AMD Ryzen 9 3900X

I tried turning the computer on but the leds on my cooling fans would flash then turn off. The actual computer would not. I took it in for a diagnostic and the GPU had shorted, and as a failsafe the computer wouldn't turn on to prevent further damage. I had tinkered with the Watt Management settings to run the fans faster at lower temps than the default settings because I explicitly did not want the card to fry

)! In other words, the AMD system uses 45Watts MORE than their rated TDP, than the Intel system That's not very good publicity for AMD! I can't wait to upgrade this CPU to something more efficient! This thing is garbage, compared to Intel 12nm cpus! Edit: Upon further investigation, it turns out that the stock cooler that comes with this CPU, is the reason of the poor performance, and is total garbage! The CPU isn't all to blame. The stock cooler plate, has large areas that don't touch the CPU lid (in between the heat pipes)! Under load it was thermal throttling and reducing clock speed to a mere 700MHZ on all cores!!! Serious flaw! I did find a 65W ECO setting in the BIOS, that enabled me to run all cores at 3,1Ghz on the stock cooler, about 1Ghz below it's rated speed! However, once I installed a $160 water cooling solution, the system ran at a steady 3,78-3,85Ghz at the full 105Watts (probably closer to 160W), and 3,5Ghz at 65Watts. The ECO mode is very good, once the CPU is cooled sufficiently, and still offers the same boost speeds as stock 105W, when only a few cores are active

-Doesn't consume as much power as I'd expect. -VERY Quiet. I sometimes need to check that the fans are running sometimes lol Cons: -Seems like it's very picky with what games it can run well -Gets very hot suddenly -The MSRP is quite high for the performance gained

, As this is another esports title. I was not surprised to see another very high average of 207 FPS at 1080p and medium settings.. The framerate was a...

Four point: three gigahertz a time reduction of about 4 % like the r5 3600 reviewed, the RO 9:30 isn't a huge overclock, but we couldn't get it to 4.4...

1 but AMD's software downloads for this card only support either Windows 7 or Windows 10. Thinking "backwards compatibility" I downloaded and ran the Windows 7 graphics software download for this card; that got me 1920x1080 resolution display but no (incompatible with Windows 8.1, minus one star) RadeonSupport.exe control software

I'll get to the point. Check your motherboard compatibility for the AM4 Matisse 3000 processors (I know most, if not all here already do) before dropping a sizeable amount on this beast of a processor.

I overclocked mine to 1435mhz core clock and 2250mhz memory clock for extra performance on MSI Afterburner and it is a really great choice for gaming and mostly anything else. I got an avg of 112 fps in the heaven benchmark and a 119 fps avg with the overclock. Its not a crazy overclock but its very stable and balances fps in-game enough to provide a solid experience. My temps are usually from 58C-67C, if you push the card though it willl reach around 73C max, at least from what I've seen

I am beyond stoked at my 3900X build. My 3900X can run an all-core overclock of 4.5 GHz. Holy shiz

Did a bunch of research. Looked at a bunch of benchmarks. Decided to buy it. It was super easy to install and booted the first time

I would stack this against any intel chip in the same range... this one beats it in speed and price
