Today Leo takes a look at the new Gigabyte X399 Aorus Extreme - and compares it against ASROCK and ASUS boards. How does it fare - and what about those VRMs? Can they handle the demand of a monster 32 core AMD 2990WX Threadripper CPU.

Leo and Luke spent some time in one of KitGuru Studios chatting about the latest AMD launch, Ryzen 2, and everything else related to AMD. Its well worth a look, if you can stomach the long running time of close to 1 hr 30 minutes !
1:53 Why does Ryzen 5 3600X exist? Hardware Unboxed has shown they perform the same.
What benefit do you get from the 95W TDP over 65W or is it all hocus pocus?
8:43 Manual overclocking of Zen and Precision Boost 2
13:57 How’s it going with X570 motherboard reviews?
AGESA 1.0.0.2 before launch, AGESA 1.0.0.3 arrived around the time of launch followed by other versions
20:05 Should you use Ryzen 3000 with an older motherboard?
21:47 Relative costs of LGA115x, X299, TR4 and AM4 platforms
23:43 X570 chipset – 15W, active cooling, PCIe Gen 4. Check out the motherboard prices!
28:08 Threadripper 3000. New platform expected, perhaps in October. Let’s call it X599. Do we expect Threadripper 3000 to come with 24-core and 32-core versions. Will there be a 16-core? will it go further and hit 48-core and 64-core?
34:48 Luke loves Ryzen 7 3700X with an X470 board
35:33 B550 chipset
36:33 X570 chipsets draw so much power they require active cooling so the fans are also used to cool the M.2 slots.
47:47 What is the lifespan of a cooling fan?
52:42 X570 active cooling can also cool the VRMs with segue into VRM design on Intel and AMD
(55 minutes both Leo and Luke say Z370 but mean AMD X370)
59:37 Leo tries to remember the second point – and succeeds!
1:00:13 Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme mega power from 14-phase VRM
1:03:33 G.Skill Trident Z and Neo DDR4 support on AMD
1:05:55 Zen 2 memory controller and Infinity Fabric. 3600MHz is the limit for good behaviour and not 3733MHz
1:14:13 Luke was going to upgrade from Core i9-9900K to Ryzen 3700X on a new X370 board!
And now he has used Intel Quick Sync Video on Core i9-9900K

Today we check out the new RTX 3050. It's Nvidia's first RTX GPU to sit below the £300/$300 price bracket, making it an interesting addition to the Ampere line up.
