Interestingly, the Core i7-9700K was way out in front, and as we mentioned in our Ryzen 9 3900X review, we can only assume this is down to it being the only CPU here that lacks Hyper-Threading and Far Cry 5 preferring a one core-one thread approach. The all-core overclock we applied boosted the 99th percentile, but the average frame rate remained unchanged, which similar to what we saw with the Core i9-9900K, which still didn't overtake the AMD CPU when we overclocked it. The Ryzen 7 3700X had a higher 99th percentile than the Core i9-9900K but a lower average frame rate. Also, just look at the gains AMD has made over Zen+: The Ryzen 7 2700X drops 15fps on the 99th percentile and 25fps on the average frame rate, and that's using the exact same hardware - that difference is pure Zen 2 horsepower.įar Cry 5 was a very different story with AMD faring much better. The average was a similar percentage lower at 196fps for the Intel CPU, 193fps for the Ryzen 9 3900X, and 174fps for the Ryzen 7 3700X, but if you think Intel is simply faster across the board here, it's worth looking at the result of the Core i7-8700K, which was roughly in line with the AMD CPU under review here - naturally, though, AMD slaughtered Intel in content creation when comparing these two. In games, Dota 2 generally seemed to like IPC and higher frequencies, and at 1080p there was only a 5fps difference on the 99th percentile between Ryzen 7 3700X (100fps) and Ryzen 9 3900X (105fps), with the Core i7-9700K managing 112fps in this metric. Amazingly, it was practically a dead heat between the Core i9 and Ryzen 7 in the multi-threaded test, where the AMD CPU edged out a huge lead over the Core i7-9700K and added a massive 18 percent to the score of the Ryzen 7 2700X. The Ryzen 7 3700X lacked the single-threaded grunt of the 12-core, resulting in a single-threaded test result of 511 in Cinebench, although this was still quicker than the Core i7-9700K and only six points behind the Core i9-9900K. Without Hyper-Threading the Intel CPU stood no chance in HandBrake, where the AMD CPU was 16 percent quicker, and even the overclocked Core i7 couldn't get close, while the Ryzen 7 3700X even managed to match the Core i9-9900K in Premiere Pro once overclocked and drew with it in HandBrake. Only when massively overclocked did the Core i7-9700K offer better performance than the stock AMD CPU, but the latter was quicker again once we'd overclocked it in Premiere Pro. In a similar fashion to the Ryzen 9 3900X, the Ryzen 7 3700X offered far better bang for your buck in content creation than the Core i7-9700K, in fact even more so here since the latter costs around £60 more. ![]() We didn't really see any activity beyond the latter (4.4GHz), though admittedly we didn't tweak any power limits, so gamers would likely want to stick to stock speed or make use of PBO and Automatic Overclocking, while content creators should consider dialling in a manual overclock. We did manage to squeeze some PBO testing in, though, which increased the all-core boost from 4GHz out of the box to 4.125GHz using PBO and 4.15GHz by dialling a 200MHz uplift to the Automatic Overclocking feature - still lower than our manual overclock of 4.3GHz, but all while keeping the slightly higher maximum boost frequency. This was the limit at our usual 1.425V, but even pumping 1.44V through the CPU didn't help, so 4.3GHz is what we settled for. Even after tweaking memory voltage, loadline calibration, and vcore, we weren't able to get the likes of Cinebench stable for a whole benchmark run. Any advice or help is welcome and I really appreciate all of you.Once again we were faced with a 4.3GHz wall, the same as we saw with the Ryzen 9 3900X. I would appreciate if someone were to help guide me to what I should be changing if I just reset the BIOS settings to default for just normal gaming use. If I run a stress test in Ryzen Master my temps don’t go above 67 and my volts are at 1.368. ![]() On idle my CPU temp is at 36.5-40 and when I open up a browser or YouTube it jumps to 54 degrees then drops back down which I assume is normal? Since I’m not the best techy and kind of nervous/overthinking things I thought I might get some opinions here if possible. During the test of the multi core, my cpu temperature didn’t go above 68-69 and during the single core test I didn’t see it go over 62 in Ryzen Master and my CPU volt was at 1.449. I recently just did a Cinebench R23 test on multi core and single core and came with Multi-Core score of 11819 and Single-Core score of 1280 with MP ratio at 9.23x. I just reset my BIOS settings and disabled PBO and enabled DOCP and undervolted by -0.0065 I believe which isn’t much. I’ve been stressing my BIOS settings, CPU temps, and wondering if I’m doing anything wrong. I recently just finished building my first PC and it has been one hell of a ride.
