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

This is the first time i have seen someone explain why something has higher performance as if its a bad thing, what a surreal thing to do.
I lol'd at that comment too, we dont know what his intent was, if he was aiming it as a dig at Ryzen, then wow, if he was just anecdoting on something he read elsewhere and wanted to share, then cool, its hard to decipher his actual intent lol.
 
Read a rumor this morning that theres a new Stepping of Ryzen in the works already, due 2H 2017, its apparently going to be an "FX" version of the chip with 4.0 base and 4.4ghz boost, massive salt required, but if theres any truth at all, im holding off for this one :)

Timing would make perfect sense considering Skylake-E... ******* off your existing customers (who might be your most vocal supporters) by releasing your new top-tier CPU 3 months after Ryzen 7 is on the other hand not something a company living off the goodwill of enthusiast (atm) should do without prior warning to said customer base.
 
Just waiting on M$ now for the scheduler correction ...the wait is going to be painful but i am looking forward to see the results ....

I don't think its going to be quite that simple, took INtel quite a long time to get hyper-threading working properly. I don't see a fix from Microsoft making things fine and dandy for AMD that quick.
 
Jumping into a few games including Arma 3, I am also finding that gaming feels smoother at 3440x1440. Also, after 30 mins of Arma my CPU temps was 47 degrees on air. Very impressed with this CPU.
 
Had a Asus B350M-A + 1700 sitting on the sofa the whole weekend waiting for me while I was at work. Really looking forward to playing with it!
Come home, assemble everything, boot to bios, install 502 bios..... and it freezes!

Wont even show signal to screen. That was a short trip to hell
 
Sod it. Going to OCUK now to pick up a 1700 and a few other bits like fans etc. Got a B350 tomahawk and a new case with some ddr4 3000mhz coming tomorrow.
I was trying to convince myself to go 7700k but I have hopes that this will last me longer.
This will be replacing my xeon E3 1230 v3 rig with a 1070.

If I ever need an intel setup for whatever reason I still have a 4770k with a 1080 I can use.
I'll post some of the easier benchmarks like 3dmark/heaven etc once set up.

Now if corsair would hurry up and send my h100iv2 bracket......
 
Anyone else with the MSI B350 Tomahawk mobo having issue's with the CPU fan header and running in PWM? I've checked and double checked. PWM fans follow fan curve on all other headers correctly, but run full speed all the time when connected to the CPU header.

Fan on the CPU header will slow down and follow fan curve when set in DC mode, but I'm using PWM fan with LED so the LED's dim as well when in DC mode (not ideal). Tried 4 fans, all PWM and all work fine on other headers, but run full speed constantly when set in PWM mode on CPU header.

Even tried flashing the BIOS and still the same. Mobo fault?

Same board here, CPU fan in the CPU fan 1 slot, 3 pin, spinning up and down fine.
