Zen 2 Owners Thread!

I will get R15 then and try again.

As long as my cpu is best in games, I am ok

Your right. My 9700K is crap in cine bench. Glad I only play games

What games you play?

What games you play?

survival games in single player 4k@60HZ

Well the efficiency is interesting in this early silicon. R5 3600 will happily run all-core 4GHz 1.1v, (still testing below that) but if you want 4.1GHz all-core it's 1.2-12.25v, and 1.3v+ for 4.2GHz, topping out at 4.25GHz 1.3775v. B450 board for reference.

Total system power draw in Cinebench R15 at 4.1GHz all core, is 122w at the wall, idle at around 65w.

EDIT: If you leave it at AMD stock auto-boost at wall power draw is 142w, and the CPU boosts to 4050 MHz across all 6-cores, voltage spikes at 1.35-1.365v

At 4.0GHz 1.13v (for full stability with this sample part) total system is 114w at the wall, and the CPU+SoC power is reading as a total of 56w

So good power saving to be had with manual tweaking, and looking good for the lower power parts that I am interested in e.g 3600E/3700E etc.

Got my delivery about 5 hours ago and now i'm mostly setup running a clean Win 10 install.

Mostly a smooth setup. Lots of tweaking left to do, not run any benchmarks or games yet. Motherboard fan (Aorus Ultra) has been mostly quiet, seemed to get prompted to install F4 BIOS for about 1 hour ago.

Ordered this to replace my 6 year old i5 3750k. My case is about 15 years old as well so went for everything bar graphics card as i have a vega 56. The Ryzen3600 just seemed to be stonking value. Should all be here tomorrow although i wont be able to build it till likely the weekend. Will have to flash the bios on the MSI board too no doubt but i see the MSI x470 supports bios flashing with no cpu etc. Wish me luck!!

When you have time could you elaborate on this.

Is it inaudible when idle and if so what tasks were you doing that made its presence known?

*There are BIOS updates coming soon for the fan - Clicky - semi-passive mode soon.

Parts have arrived today, just another 3 hours work left to go and then it's playtime

Nice one.

Are you going to be giving the Beta BIOS a go today then?

 

[conqi]

4400Mhz 1.375v with better mem timing.14-14-14-35 3666Mhz a lot more tuning to do. Should be able to get memory tighter.

Wowzers 80 Degrees in a cinebench run!!!!!

 

[bro306]

79c was with ryzen master stress test.

 

[bro306]

Managed to get my temps down a lot 4.3 1.25vcore idle 36c 64 load. Will be my day to day setting now.

Intel Burn Test stable? If so that is amazing.

It's not like you have a choice with a 9700k

I need to do more testing, don't really notice it over system fans and mechanical drive. Just letting motherboard manage all the fans on defaults for now. Seems to keep them low most of the time but spin up under load and briefly on full while the motherboard posts. On F4d BIOS, cpu seems to be sitting between 3.7-4.3Ghz think I saw one core hit 4.5Ghz earlier.

Running load test now staying under 62C at 100% all cores 4.14Ghz. Air cooled by my old Phanteks PH-TC14PE in Silverstone FT02 case.

Spent too long building and getting the system to a usable state for work etc. Need a break will come back to performance stuff later.

 

[Boomstick777]

What did you upgrade from @Boomstick777 ?

2700X, serial upgrade junkie here ....

Fortunately GPU's are so underwhelming right now there's nothing to upgrade too, so saving some money there xD

 

[bro306]

Will do some testing later amazed how stable it is at 1.25v took me by surprise been playing games and doing benchmarks no lock up doesnt miss a beat. 4.4 is my limit at 1.35v. 4.5 takes 1.45v too high for me.

 

[bro306]

4.3 1.25v loves these new ryzens.

 

[haszek]

Is it really worth loosing 300 in ST but gaining what? 100 in MT?

 

[muon]

You must mean clocks as that difference makes no sense for scores.

100mhz increase across 12 cores or a 300mhz opportunistic boost in a single core (anyone actually manage to get 4.6ghz for a sustained period of time yet?). I know which I'd pick given nothing is single threaded these days.

The stock cooler is better than 96 Deg. Is it mounted correctly / have you got adequate airflow?
