3700X arriving today - infinity fabric question

[JonFlower]

Hi all.

I'm due to receive an 3700X and MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard today. Currently running an i7 7700k system (which I see still command a great resale price on ebay).

I've done some reading...

I'm planning to, hopefully, run the infinity fabric at 1900MHz, with my RAM in sync 1:1 i.e. 1900MHz / DDR 3800 with tight timings (Team Group / 8PACK 4133 kit, 4x 8GB sticks)

In terms of actual overclocking then I understand that the Ryzen chips are very different to intel and probably best left at the default settings? i.e. allowing the CPU turbo up on its own accord.

Does that sound realistic in terms of the infinity fabric speed? Is 1800MHz the official upper range?

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I've got the DRAM calculator (great utility) and the Typhoon Burner for RAM info

Cheers about the BIOS version

I love my new machine. The light show from the NZXT H710i is great.

I have the Infinity Fabric at 1800MHz / 3600MHz stable, anything above that seems to cause problems. RAM in 1:1. Tweaked the RAM down to CAS16 timings at 3600 speed. I'm reasonably happy with that outcome
