*** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

Always used Gigabyte myself but very tempted with ASRock X370 Gaming 4, looks great, has good features and considerably less than the MSI/Gigabyte/Asus equivalents.

they all look good tbh
I am liking the look of the gigabyte GA-AX370-GAMING 5 dual bios and dual Dacs usually gigabyte have great low DPC on there 5 and above series

There is meant to be some Ryzen news today along with more Vega details - they will be mentioned at the "Capsaicin & Cream" event in about 2 hours at the GDC. Ryzen though might just be there to run Vega demos.

Looks like someone put up a video of the wraith RGB cooler, looks pretty damn good for a stock cooler.

I once overclocked my AMD 6000+ from 3Ghz to 3.1Ghz!!!!!!!

Pfft, I had my P75 running at 120MHz!

Makes Intel's looks like the dog **** it is. Nickle and Dime you to death for as little effort/cost as possible.

A lot of the Intel CPU tests are the same AFAIK,from what I gather talking to people.

Edit!!

We will have forum reviews too,so we can get a better picture of stuff that way too.

I think it was PaulsHardware who said he had preorderen the 1700 so that would be interesting.

If they don't use the event to show Ryzen's gaming potential 2 days before launch they need a marketing team.

I don't want to go off topic but what time is this vega thing going down ?

I would ask in the GPU section but I don't want to be mobbed by all those nvidia fan boys

It scares me in that part of the forum...

Agree ...so what would you recommand with your experience and the numbers given from the link i sent you ..yes i understand its dependent on mem controller but still should be able to give an idea

It varies from kit to kit, unless you are talking about tRAS specifically. You can try at the timings the kit was validated at, and work down from there. Intel kits will have less guardband on AM4 so there's going to be a compromise potentially, so you may even find you have to work up.

What effect will 1T have over 2T?
