AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 1800X Problem

Thank you everyone who helped.

I feel a bit of noob really.

Seems I did not place the CPU cooler adapter correct. I thought when I attached it it did not seem a perfect fit but I had no paste so I left it thinking it was ok felt secure enough. I happen to find some paste last night and thought well I will double check this. To my shock the cooler was not even touching the CPU. What a noob. To be honest the AMD CPU attachment is about 15 parts to it. Anyway got it seated and connected correct and well that's it. Feel so stupid lol. Here is a benchmark test on factory settings for my PC. http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/4420892

Impressive that it actually ran in a state that was effectively without cooler on it.

Anyway, glad you got it sorted :)
 
You just need to optimise the ram a bit now. I am also well impressed at the 'uncooled' performance.
Passive cooling anybody?
I used to have an AMD E-350 which was passively cooled. Great for a very simple file server back in 2011. I'm sure a low-end Raven Ridge chip could run passively (maybe a 2c/4t version), would be cool to see.
