*** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

[TwsT]

A stability result table would be worth having to see how many samples can reach beyond 4ghz in something like Handbrake.

Realbench seems to be the botty kicker for power draw and heat production,

Cinebench has thrown up consistent errors too as it does use all 16 threads

I'd certainly believe Stilt over my ramblings lol But yeah, I do notice he says "...and 4.1GHz maximum *single* core XFR ceiling (SCXFRC)". Perhaps some with an 1800x can run a dual core bench?

I've found the quote about quad core, but it's from a overclock.net forum (wasn't sure I could post link) so no idea of original source, it says: "...XFR has been observed to apply its frequency boost to up to four cores (eight threads) while gaming, though this is most likely due to buggy XFR support at the moment."

it's soo wooly and unclear still but glad peole are making observations.
agreed we need to ask owners to observe on here,

If you guys was high clocked working with Ryzen RAM, G.Skill has you covered! 3466Mhz

Not been following the thread for a while now. So now that people have them, what kind of OC's are you getting using watercooling?

Looking on three different forums for the last few days.

Seems 3.9 (1.35-1.3875v) with good temps and low voltages on the 1700. 4.0-4.1Ghz max pumping tons of voltages and loads of heat

1800x behaves the same but with more heat output 10c+ or so more.

So what is the point of the 1800x, just pre overlooked then? Or does it oc more?

1800x seems to be pegged to the current limits of ryzen, doesn't clock more at all.

No point, buying the 1700 and overclocking it looks the best bet

 

[Minus1337]

Ok so put together my 1700x and CH hero setup but I'm just leak testing it ATM but I hope to report back with some temps soon. Night gents.

 

[Stanners]

Given in and got a 1700

I am on 3.9 @ 1.312v, heat tops at 62 degrees on air, any higher and the heat jumps.

How do the cheaper motherboards perform?

The best chips seem to hit 4.2Ghz. Those all seem to be 1800X chips.

I have the gigabyte ab350-gaming 3 and it seems solid. 3.6 overclock on a 1700 not vcore changes just ramped up the multi and it's solid

Scramz do you have a laser temp gun ?

I dont mate.

 

[Michael_10]

I see a lot of people with B350 motherboards, I know this is partly due to the poor availability of the X370 boards, but is it right to assume B350 is looking goof for a Ryzen 1700 overclocked to 3.9/4GHz and a single GPU setup?

 

[harney]

I dont mate.

Just wanting to know under load what the VRM heatsink area temps are ....

thx anyway
think you have a good chip there ...I should be up and running tomorrow the wait is ...

Sounds good. Any chance your going to try 4.0 on it with additional voltage?
