Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options select `high performance` - its a windows feature

That's just your normal power setting plan/profile as previously mentioned.

IIRC the default "balanced" power mode runs the CPU between 5%-100% and the "high performance" mode is just %100. From what I've read this matters quite a bit in Windows 8/10 because it's the CPU driver that enables the O/S to tell the CPU when performance is needed and as Ryzen doesn't have one yet it isn't being told what to do.

It also changes a few other settings too. I also assume it's the "Minimum Processor State" that sorts it. Hopefully the CPU driver won't be too long.

yes but see ubersonic`s comment - you need the driver to tell the cpu when to ramp up or not , and currently Win10 doesn't have that driver, so setting high performance remvoes that potential issue. That is what jayzee is talking about, as sometimes the cpu might not ramp up properly

If AMD can get some major SC and server wins with that,that would really turn the company around.

I really hope they can manage that. We need proper competition so badly, and AMD has been absent from that sector for over a decade really.
They finally have a competing product, and I can see why they launched Ryzen R7 first now. It does amazingly well in Linux, and has no scheduler issues there.

Even if they only managed 10% increased Market share there, it'll finally help clear AMD's debt and give them a much needed cash injection for R&D.

Check out their ocnet thread : http://www.overclock.net/t/1623496/ryzen-binning

Their testing methodology is different.

"If you're familiar with how we bin things, the 3.8 bins mean they weren't able to do realbench at 3.9 with 1.408V or less which doesn't necessarily mean they can't do 3.9 at a higher voltage."

1700 - 3.9Ghz - Peaked 1.320 volts - 10 Runs Realbench

Indeed - would love some competition in that market, would happily buy some HP Ryzen based servers if pricing is competitive.

It also will be a great PR coup for AMD - putting gaming to one side,if they start getting server wins,it will reflect very well on HEDT markets since if it is good enough for servers,it would be good enough for many to spec AMD CPUs for desktops and for vendors to start offering more AMD options too.

Exactly! Imagine if Ryzen/AM4 ends up simply being their Z270 line.

If Naples trickles down to the HEDT market in a year, but with an extra revision to the silicone and better refined 14nm process it would be absolutely fantastic.

Many enthusiasts that want an AMD workstation are a little put off by Dual Channel memory, and 24 PCIe lanes; and consumer cut Naples could be the answer.
 
F5 Bios just released for the Gigabyte Gaming 3.

Will give get it flashed in an hour or two once I'm back from work and have my new Noctua cooler fitted.

Hoping this brings some better memory frequencies, change log lists "Improves system capabilities"
 
Off topic question here but I'm just curious.

Am I right in assuming that product releases for the server market can't be plagued with the same problems that desktop releases are? If it is aimed at professional use then I'd think that a flawless launch must be quite important?
