By adjusting the BCLK? I've got the 3200 kit and it sometimes works but it also throws errors at my face the other half of the time. Hmm... time to get my drivers and such installed and then it is time to mess with this beast. I'm so surprised that Ryzen Master reports 46c whilst running R15 at 3.6 GHz ... on the stock cooler! Have you found any other monitoring software that works? I used to be a fan of HWMonitor, but it doesn't show core temps.
Interesting to see the new Ryzen results coming through. I thought I'd run Realbench 2.43 for the heck of it and I think the 980Ti score is a bit low, but other than that it seems on point. This might be an interesting basis for comparison for new 1600 owners. My mem is running at stock and so is my cache. I had to disable EIST otherwise my score goes through the floor because of CPU downclocking.
That one also doesn't give me the per-core stats. No problem. Until it shuts down... there's no thermal issue. The rest of my gear should be here by mid next week, so it'll have to stay on stock until then.
I'm running into a strange issue... The PC randomly just freezes and attempts to reboot, but it fails. Only half of the LED POST screen lights up and it keeps attempting to reboot every 0.5s or even quicker. Could it be due to an unstable OC or is there something else wrong here?
It's hardly a fanfare accolade of a score seeing as your running an i7 hex core on a mature platform using quad channel memory - the fact your comparing it to Ryzen 5 (which uses dual channel and is a an immature platform) and barely besting it... Bravo Intel (not) (and yes the 980Ti score is piss poor I agree)
That's precisely my point - the current offering from Intel is an established platform that is considerably more expensive, capable of much higher clock speeds and yet there's very little difference in performance. If I could have held on for a few months I'd have gotten Ryzen 1600 or 1700 without question, but I'm still very pleased with my X99 system considering it's not quite at the "batshit crazy" end of Intel's lineup and isn't totally smooshed by Ryzen. Now, however, would be a ridiculous time to buy anything from Intel other than their 6xxx or 7xxx quads, IMHO.
So, apparently I can idle at 5c in a 25c ambient ... looks like something is wrong. No wonder the VRM is sitting around 53c and the stock cooler isn't spinning up! It reckons 20c under load. Haha. Time to get that sorted with a proper water loop install. I think this beta BIOS is a little off to say the least. It did measure correctly to begin with, but now it's all sorts of wrong.
I recall a similar problem with the on-die GPU temps on the AMD APUs... it would give a temp of anything from -5 to 25... Either it was just reading the temp wrong, or instead of displaying a absolute temp it was displaying the temp relative to another temp [probably the core temp if that was indeed the case]. EDIT: Don;t some of the Ryzen chips report the temperature wrong on purpose? I remember reading that some of them reported a temp 20-ish degrees higher than it actually was to keep the Cpu fan spinning, maybe the BIOS is compensating for the offset and getting it wrong. linky
So about two weeks ago my pal from the USA asks me to help him build a PC. He'd scored a job for a local family to build them a PC, set up three monitors etc. We did really well for our cash and bought them a Ryzen 1600 PC with 16gb 3000 memory and a MSI B350 Tomahawk. OK, so he earned around $800 out of it and decided it was time to replace his venerable Alienware that is still running a 3820 and 8gb ram. So we got this. Came complete with 5 RGB fans on offer for $169 down from $200. Still an epic buy (it's an Anidees cube) he got these to match. This was on clearance for $139 so we jumped all over it. As was this, down from $220 to $160. Still a lot of bread for a PSU, but it's Enermax, 80+ Platinum and comes with a full braided set of cables that would have cost him $80-$120. So he has basically paid $80 for a class leading plat power supply. Not bad I thought. OH BTW, his is a 600w not the 500 pictured. For the board we are going with the B350 Strix and CPU will be a 1700. He's very lucky in so much that one of his cousins is very high up @ Micron. So he already has two 2TB 2.5" server SSDs and a 512gb. So this rig will be all SSD, with the 512 running Windows, one 2TB for games and the other for music and stuff.
no pics as i'm getting all the parts delivered tomorrow, i ordered 1600x, Asus Prime X370 Pro, G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB 3200Mhz, Noctua U12S, also got a 250GB Samsung 850 Evo for the OS install, full specs in my sig.
I just upgraded my 6 year old i5 2500k/8Gb DDR3 RAM system. Bought r5 1600 / 16Gb Corsair 3200MHz 16-18-18-36 RAM / Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 / Define R5 case with EVGA 650w gold psu. Transferred over my 850EVO SSD, WD green HDDs and GTX970. To be honest I was waiting until things were a bit more stable, but fate took a hand when the lightning storms last month screwed both my router and the NIC on my motherboard, limiting it to 100Mbs half-duplex. I could have just bought a £10 NIC add-in card, but where's the fun in that? So new system. Long time since I've done any over-clocking so I'm taking this slow and easy. Updated BIOS to latest version that includes AGESA 1.0.0.6 updates. RAM is on the QVL list for the MB. Benchmarks so far just using Cinebench: i5 2500k stock Cinebench CPU 465 Cinebench OpenGL 75.94 R5 1600 stock - RAM default Cinebench CPU 1132 Cinebench OpenGL 104.53 R5 1600 Stock - RAM/XMP set to 3200MHz Cinebench CPU 1158 Cinebench OpenGL 112.24 I've been playing Age of Wonders 3 which slows down a lot in the late game and totally subjectively it seems faster, but that might just be having twice the RAM
Going from Sandy - Ryzen is quite a jump in IPC tbh. My pal has a 3820 that he is switching for a Ryzen 1700 soon. That too will be an epic jump in IPC
Well that's a bummer. Using XMP to detect my RAM, which it did correctly, and set it to 3200MHz has caused instability under moderate load. Crashes, even a bluescreen reboot. Setting back to default fixes the issue. I'd hoped since it was on the QVL and XMP detected it that I would be fine, but apparently not. I'll have to do this the hard way, although that'll probably have to wait until the weekend now.
Check the QVL list again - some will show rated speed of the RAM and then supported speed. i.e. the speed they verified it at when testing on that board. Mine says 3200 for both, but then goes on to list the DRAM chips as Samsung, when mine are Hynix. Thanks for the consistency, Corsair. I have two XMP profiles on my board - 2933 and 3200 - 2933 works perfectly, but 3200 won't even POST. I need to spend a little time setting the timings manually, but I can't find the time - everyone knows you can lose a whole afternoon to that sh!t.
