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

so guys, in all honesty, the best rysen chip to get is the 1700 only and skip the 1700x and 1800x
......
apart from XFR and Base clock there all the same chip with the same silicon lottery ? right the 1700x and 1800x dont have better over clock ability right.
 
Soooo, I was just gaming on 3.6Ghz to test temps with power setting to performance and according to my Task Manager my CPU is boosting to 4.3Ghz????

Anyone else had this?

They will manually clock higher but you need to be able to cool them, get the 1700 and clock it up to [email protected] any higher then you need very good cooling. my 1800x @4.3 my temps would hit 82C on normal loads, after 3 loops real bench my temps would go up to 88C.
 
What is more interesting, if I have Squad open and AMD Master the CPU has 50% Utilization when 'Balanced Power' is on. It drops to 40% when 'High Performance' is selected.

I am assuming the XFR on the 1700, although smaller jumps, is doing its think even with a manual overclock of 3.6Ghz jumping to 4.25Ghz on certain cores?

Also I am completely impressed on the temps, never go above 48c on air even with this turbo on.
 
Any AM3 user (#loyalamdfanboy :p) knew from the start Gigabyte would be the one to go for. Feel sorry for boys that got their new shinnies and can't unleash them (sure it will be sorted out soon). Btw Asus needs a kick in their backside too.

Aside from the obvious right now where Gigabyte is handling Ryzen better than the others, what is the thought process on them being better? Asking because I'm still trying to find a board in stock and one of them I was looking at was Gigabyte.

Are you running your ryzen overclocked or not when gaming?
 
Well I am completely inclined to agree than anyone looking to go with Ryzen to avoid the ASUS boards, as right now, they are riddle with stability and compatibility issues. My GeIL EVO X memory DOES NOT play nice with the Crosshair. I've literally been at this for the past 4 hours trying to get it to boot and not blue screen.

Bios all on auto apart from the multiplier which is set at 3.6Ghz.

It seems that only setting that without touching anything else allow the CPU to boost to 4.3Ghz gaming by itself? Or am I wrong? I just restarted and going to test again.

Isn't that the point of XFR? Reading temps / voltages / thermals and then boosting accordingly ?

Something like Nvidia boost clocks

hmm if I didn't need the AM3 backwards compatibility I would change. Hopefully by the time they get more stock some of these issues are solved.
