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

[DragonQ]

Anyone have some temps while using a nice beefy air cooler like the noctua or dark rock 4 pro?

Haven't seen over 71 at stock in Cinebench, OCCT or IBT yet. Noctua NH-U12P (push-pull fans at ~70%).

There's no 3600 c16 shown. Also a bit miss leading. A 3600x on fast ram will easily match a 3700x on average ram.

Also no min frame rates (frame times).

Reviewers please stop doing half jobs (lazy).

In my testing the overall frame rate whilst going up wasnt the main benefit, the times when things stuttered waiting for something is what noticeably improved with tighter timings.

Running a 3700x on a B450-i.
RAM is G.Skill 3200mhz CL14.
RAM ran on X399 at 3200 14-14-14-34 using D.O.C.P no problems.
On B450-i D.O.C.P won't boot. Tried several times and need to clear CMOS every time to get back to BIOS.
Manual settings for 3200 14-14-14-34 won't boot.
Manually setting at 3200 15-15-15-34 boots but system changes timings to 16-15-15-34 on boot.
Haven't tried to increase the speed yet.
Needs latest BIOS. 2406.
2301 boots to BIOS but won't detect drives.

up your ram volts to 1.42, soc to 1.1

Stability is pointless?? Interesting lol

Thia pc qill be used by total noob living 70 milea away from me. And it ia overcloklcked on cpu ddr and gpu.

Tell me rhat you would not test brand new overclocked ring and juar send it out ro different city to be used lol

not overnight - prime 95 is a totally unrealistic test for that long. test the memory and test for 20 mins and that is more than stable. games and even content creation won't stress the CPU that much.

Isn't there a boot bug in asus bios at the moment that boots the ram up at 1.2v rather than XMP/DOCP voltage?

Apparantly there's an option in the BIOS somewhere where you can manually set the DRAM boot voltage

@djbully, What power plan are you using, the Ryzen or windows standard balance plan ?

I’m using the Ryzen high performance plan.

up your ram volts to 1.42, soc to 1.1

Just about the worst and most stupid advice i think i have ever read on here with regards to ram.
Anyone that has run on x370 or x470 would know that. To run at 3200 Cas14 shouldn't need any more than 1.365v on the ram and 1.0125v SOC. Along with setting Dram boot up voltage to 1.365v as well.
1.42v ram and 1.1v SOC will just give immediate errors and instability. Overvolting ram and/or SOC on Ryzen is a recipe for disaster, it's well documented and well known.

 

[RavenXXX2]

lol even AMD recommends increaing ram and soc volts for stability, put the crack pipe down.

Oh and I run 3200mhz cl14 with fast sub timings 1.42v 1.1 soc. And no issues

 

[kitfit1]

lol even AMD recommends increaing ram and soc volts for stability, put the crack pipe down.

So, come on then mr ram expert...........................what speed and voltage are you running your ram on Ryzen ?

 

[chrcoluk]

for reference my ram on my ryzen 2 rig is on 1.45v.

 

[willhub]

My Gskill is rated 1.35 and I'm running it at 1.35

You're talking rubbish mate.

I prime95 my PC's for 7 days continously.

My last PC was certified Prime 95 stable, 365 days continuous, only way to be sure.

 

[chrcoluk]

for testing ram use GSAT, karhu, or HCI.

Test for much longer than 20 mins.

For 32gigs of ram probably at least 4 hours. Ideally overnight, it wont stress your cpu that hard, just the ram.

In terms of coverage I would say at least 200% bare minimum for HCI, ideally 400%, and at least 1000% for karhu (karhu runs much faster).

 

[chroniclard]

20 minute test isn't long enough to test stability!

 

[awaybreaktoday]

LOL LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHA The uk will not be getting any 3900x until second week of august, lol hahahahaha

Since when did frame time stop being 1/framerate?

I think more a symptom - perhaps a stroke.
