Found interesting important information from other forum warned about Ryzen very poor OC on both air and water coolers.

https://www.computerbase.de/forum/showthread.php?t=1661545&page=7&p=19805500#post19805500

Also found this pic of Ryzen 1800X with all 8 cores on LN2 reached 5.1GHz at 1.853V from Austin Evans on youtube but it was removed so I found a mirror. http://mirror.ninja/5vixv8



Well 5.1GHz on LN2 at very high voltage is not very impressed, I would suggest you to put off or cancel pre-order until official reviews or you would regret sold off your good CPUs like 6700K, 7700K etc after bought a Ryzen CPU and found it cant OC at very low voltage on both air and water coolers!

And heres another one folks! Have you ever thought , a lot of users might not want to flog the **** out of a cpu by overclocking it?

No it applies to all.

Yes a product has to have been selling at the higher price so to offer the reduction as these have only just been released then that never happened

I would guess most people dont overclock there cpu.

 

[Mauller]

I think people seem to forget that this is an 8 core and not a quad when it comes to that LN2 overclock.

It is AthlonXP1800 posting his "important information". You can safely disregard anything he posts about AMD.

That's what proper cooling is for

I don't know what to do, waiting for reviews would be sensible but I have little self control!!

Indeed, so it's not a real reduction - using the term introductory pricing is more applicable since Gibbo states they are going up next Wednesday!

Do you know what Alpenföhn's plan is for AM4 compatibility on their CPU coolers?

Order now. Giving you a reserved CPU and time to cancel.

 

[brigantium]

Well, reviews should roll out in a while.

 

[Gibbo]

@Gibbo
Sadly was looking for MPK as wanted a cooler as a stop gap. Do you have these in stock or AMD Air Cooler sold separately?
RYZEN 7 1800X 4.0GHZ 8 CORE SKT AM4 20MB 95W MPK

MPK will not be for sale, that is an SI product only I am afraid.

 

[RSR]

Do the reviews go live today as well?
