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

[TheBiznes]

He has just updated the reason why we know so high now. Seems AMD are on top of things now hence probably why the Twitter post last night to confirm they had fixed the issue.

"The person spilling the beans initially said about 3ghz limits but corrected today saying that AMD very recently forced a firmware update that got the IMC support up to 3800mhz. He did say sadly now though the memory subsettings are gone and all you get is 4 subsets with the dividers to play around with. Basically AMD are pushing the engines up to 100% now."

So 1T prob locked now then I guess.

Any word on Antec doing the same? Got a 620 which has been flawless and very efficient at cooling my 3770k for a few years...would be a shame to waste it.

Ah ****, I've just paid £12.10 lol

No BIOS updates for the Asrock Taichi yet, hope they update them for better RAM support before they start shipping Although maybe it already supports higher than 2666mhz and the manual is just being conservative?

Regarding that earlier conversation about reviewers who will buy their own Ryzen CPUs,this channel said they bought them out of their pocket:

Its the same chap who did the AMD song a few years ago.

I find that strange as well. The killer sli board if it supports up to 3200 could be a good buy for mid end x370.

Probably to do with this........

Overclockers when I called them today. Said MSI and ASROCK have not even got any boards ready for release

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yeah just read that, he's been pretty spot on so far with his info.

Edit to add : Scone.. better start boxing up your X99 system mate

lol, hitting those speeds is one thing. When or if it appears and the results are conclusive, then we can talk .

Actually, really using words like guaranteed with memory overclocking tells you all you need to know about Mr Orangekhrush

What was that one? Do I have to eat them? If so, challenge accepted.

Just so we're clear, the condition is that the overclock is stable. Not this CPU-Z validation marketing faff we've seen so far

This must be a very recent bash of firmware, was only at the weekend some of these guys were struggling on LN2 above 3200 at all.
