AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

Ill have to check the stability of the official ones. Maybe they can pass stress yest of ucruncher and ibt. We are still sitting on 1.0.0.2 microcode that could be reason they dont play allong as they are more of an 1.0.0.3ab+ ones

If all goes good 1.0.0.3add should be out tomorrow for testing on asus motherboards.

Does it look like that will be the first version that works for most people ?

I am just waiting until things settle down before upgrading to a 3700x or better.

Okay, my 3900x arrived and is installed, on the latest gigabyte bios 1.0.0.3ab? F41
How do I get this puppy flying?
I can see a bunch of new options in the bios about the IF, and manual overclocking options..
It seems to be auto clocking to 4.3ghz at the moment, all I touched was xmp on for the ram.
What do I do first for either the peak auto settings or a good manual overclock?

what cooling are You running for starters hehe

I tested Auto Overclock on my 3600, +100Mhz, it worked, under high stress load the CPU stuck to 4.1Ghz, vs 4Ghz stock, stuck hard at 4.2Ghz all core in games from varying from 4.05 to 4.150Ghz.

But over 1.4v which i'm not comfortable with.

And i have learned something, my Motherboard has hardlocked my CPU to a maximum of 4.2Ghz, not matter what i do it will not go over that.

You should set volts that you are comfortable with, 1.325 to 1.35v is safe 24/7 and see what you can get out of it like that.

However, the CPU its self will clock its self higher just boosting, it knows when it can use more volts, like up to 1.47v without damaging the CPU.

I would just leave it to do its thing unless you can get about 4.4Ghz stable on a maximum of 1.35v.

Even ryzen master had changed so massively I feel a bit lost now after the 2700x.
Memory control, excluded, push all auto, push all manual..... Waaaat?
When running cinebench it only clicks to 4ghz. What do I set to get it higher.. Sorry for the questions guys but i feel like a noob again now on this cpu

No one answered this. But going off what @humbug posted does increased the max boost increase the volts the mobo will set for the cpu?
Click to expand...

Sorry yes it does work, at least it did for me, but its not going to be stable unless you pump enough volts into it, leaving volts on Auto will do that and in my case that was too high for 24/7 use.

setting +100Mhz gave me +100Mhz boost, but also more volts, too many.

I did it through Ryzen Master given my board doesn't have PBO in the BIOS.

You have to turn all that crap on, i'm not at home right now, work computer, when i get home i'll have a look and see if i can help you with some screen shots.

But I thought the whole point of PBO is that AMD have a set of metrics, volts, heat and 'somethingelse' and the boost will only go as high as the limit of one of those metrics. If you leave it on auto it wouldn't exceed the voltage limit AMD have set.

At least that's how I thought it would work.

That's what they said. It is supposed to only boost up to max intermittently on a core-by-core basis, which is supposedly safe. However, whilst its true that when my PC is idle (i.e. I am doing absolutely nothing) the clock speed drops to stock and the voltage drops right down to around 1V, if I am doing anything at all pretty much every core is being boosted beyond 4.2MHz and my voltage stays steady at around 1.43V.

Custom liquid cooling, 240 and 280 radiators just for the cpu with 2x ml 120 4x ml140 push pull.

I get at stock 6980 points on cinebench 20 for mc.. It seems low compared to other 3900x users
Click to expand...
with that I'd set 1.35 volts on cpu and just test from 4300 all core up and see what stable thing You will get :) Thats good cooling so depends hw LLC works on motherboard :)
I assume You tried to use XMP profile ?? Should work you got good kit for start :)

Am I right in thinking that sub 50 and sub 30 are big milestones that have it automagically clock higher? I can probably hit the sub 50 with a bit of work. Sub 30... is a waterchiller... maaaaaaaaybe one day (said as an ex phase change user) :)
 
Water cooling doesn’t seem to have much of an effect at least for me.

I have 2 x 360 60mm rads and cpu temp doesn’t go much above 50c with water temp about 35c and my 3600 won’t boost above 4200mhz.

Tbf I have left everything on stock settings though.

It's the only variable I'm changing. I don't overclock the CPU or GPU. Only the ram. It was fine for about 5hrs in 3 games, then I got a crash in new Wolfenstein. Tested the memory using HCI and it passed 400%.

Last night tho playing AC Odyssey game freezes with just the audio playing. I'm fairly confident it's the ram. Like I said only variable I'm playing with.

In my experience ram errors result either in a BSOD or application crash.

A freeze with just audio playing is not a typical ram problem symptom. Have you tried pushing ram back to stock and seeing if the issues persist?
 
Zeed said:
Wait what You not heard about BEST and known for years HCI Memtest HOW ??

@opethdisciple but HGCI test's Memorty stability NOT IMC or IF stability. Ramm all fine Its IMC and voltages ****** UP not memory !!! Thats why You dont do AUTO !!!

@Smak Aida is indeed quite nice for stability testing so is Realbench. I do love my IBT also :D
Click to expand...

That tool isnt HCI memtest tho, unless there is some new version of HCI I am unware off.

Its "dang wang v2.5" whatever that is.
