Doesn't your table say nope?
No
It'll work
I have x470 by asus
And my system didnt boot before updating to latest bios
I didn't buy the CPU yet because I read it just won't work with X370
It does
it'll work but the question is how well
your motherboard wasn't designed with the power draw in mind
that's what the table refers to
It says minor airflow needed for 3950x for the vrms
it says not recommended for 3950x
You are looking at OC
Airflow on the board, right?
yeah, the area around the cpu socket
where the VRMs are
I have a front to back airflow and the CPU is watercooled
if the cpu is watercooled you usually miss out on a lot of VRM airflow
The area around the socket is empty, I can make some better cooling there
But the question is
Top are OC
Oh I read it wrong
So it's "minor airflow recommended"
Yeah
For a stock 3950
I'll just try it out
Worst case I'll fry my Mainboard, right?
But you must update bios though. Can't stress this enough
Sure
it'll be fine
the 3950x is surprisingly efficient for a 16c CPU
It is really good bin
Probably taking parts from middle of the wafer
Middle part leaks less electricity
How do you know so well? It's not even deliverable yet is it?
Here it says from 25. Nov on
That's why they've delayed it, it's stockpiled chiplets
Reviews
OEMs have the chips
