*** Official Ryzen Owners Thread ***

So by overclocking and undervolting my CPU and GPU to:

R7 1700 3.6Ghz (all cores) @ 1.112v
EVGA FTW 1070 2025Mhz @ 900mV

Whilst running heaven the whole system at the wall is pulling only 165 watts :eek:

Anyone else think that's insane for that kind of performance?
 
Had my memory running at 2933Mhz for a week or more and all was well and then I did the Win10 Creators Update followed by the Agesa bios update and then started getting the odd blue screen. Lowered memory to 2666Mhz and no more blue screens, wtf? I thought these updates were supposed to improve performance, oh well.........

Improve performance, Microsoft make no claims about stability. The reason I bought Ryzen was because the anniversary update had a compatibility flaw with numerous X79 systems and Microsoft made it a mandatory update before fixing it.
 
The case is a Thermaltake Armour.

I've looked behind and there might be 4 holes in the right place but they look small. As for dremel.... not sure my components are already installed in the machine.


I had one of those cases years ago and if I remember right the stock fan is clipped onto a plastic holder. You have two choices, either remove the stock fan and clip the replacement onto that plastic frame, or do what I did and remove the stock fan and plastic frame and fix the new fan to the standard mounting holes of the case. I used rubber fan mounts when I fitted mine as I thought it was a case that was prone to vibration.

Yep you are right it has a clip. But as far as I could see the clip is actually part of the stock fan. I don't mind how I mount it as long a I can replace it. I bought a Noctua NF-S12A. If it can clip in great. But I think the clip is part of the current stock fan.

The mounting holes at the back as far as I can see are tiny. Not sure the rubber mounts will go through.

I could probably use garden wire or cable ties if I have too.... I've got garden wire on side vent as I removed the stock 250mm fan to accommodate my Noctua NH D14 and needed to keep the side grill on.

Don't really need to replace the case yet. So need to not seed that idea.

That is quite astonishing, but also quite peculiar how the cpu usage is dead 0% from core 7 to 16, normally we should be seeing light workload across all 16 threads no?

This was heaven, it may only be limited to that amount of cores however the GPU was at 99-100% with TDP of just 50% from undervolting!
 
Post some HCI stability validations.

http://hcidesign.com/memtest/

One instance per thread, 90% of memory coverage. Minimum of 400% with 16GB of memory

I'm planning on covering a thread on OCN next week after I've validated some of my own results.
I done 9 hour full pass with 15 instances at 1024 and 1x leftover. Think it was like 2000% or something.

No real point of running 36xx@cl18 cause its slower than my daily 3472 cl16. Could deffo run 3600cl16 ddrs of i had em.
But with 135.x bclk pstate oc does not boot/work. So have to pump constant 1.435 and while idling that gues to 1.46 so fak it....

Ps. With errors i can do 3605@cl16

Got my 1600 on Tuesday, screws way too tight on my IDCooling AIO thought, another shot at getting them out tonight again....
 
A lot happier with my 1700 now. Since the recent F6 Bios for my Gaming 3 ive had no issues with memory speed at last. Also, simple clock to 3.7 without issues and its feeling a lot better in use for me.

Also, on cooling, my trusty old Cooler Master Hyper is much better than the stock cooler.
