One thing I don't get about the bashing of Silent Scone. The problem did/do exist, so he obviously didn't make it up off his own back.
Whereas people here whom are bashing him constantly post things derived from their own minds.
It doesn't bother me, I've bought my 1700 and I'm very happy with it. Although I really should start running it more than stock.

It is that SS stated that it would never be possible ever with this version of Ryzen and certainly not this side of Xmas. Not that Ryzen wasn't having known issues and everyone else was in denial. I wasn't really bashing but just banter. We all here for a reason and that is enjoying new PC tech.

Pretty sure the "this side of Christmas" quote was before 25/12/2016 so technically he was correct.

thought it was just the first person to break 3866mhz on ram was going to be the winner?!Awesome is it raffle tickets to anyone who has been posting in here and had to listen to this play out for the last few months

He was overzealous no doubt, but the problem was there, and still is there as it stands

Yep, 3200-3500 seems to be the limit for most people. Any higher seems to be like a golden unicorn sample.
Crosshair 6 hero, 4266 gskill rgb, r7 1700 and 3466 is my limit without using bclk.
I think what we are hitting the limits of the IMC now.
Another thing I noticed was that when running my ram at 3200 or more, I needed to drop my CPU overclock from 3.9 to 3.8

It's just funny 
. I doubt anyone holds him legally binded to his words. I don't even know the guy but he seems eager to dish it out so no doubt he's just as eager to take it.

I have to be honest i'm starting to get uncomfortably itchy now...
I have resisted for this long because i have just blown a whole lot of cash on a new GPU and Case and stuff... and my current Intel setup is only just a year old.
But i want all the glorious high performance compute threads Ryzen has, the memory compatibility is getting better by the week, hats off to AMD for getting ontop of it, the reality is this is a brand new platform... its frankly pretty lucky that AMD didn't have more compatibility issues to start with let alone get them sorted out so quickly.
iiiiiiiigggggghhhh *bites nails*

If cores are what you want then ryzen offers the best value for money. X299 is around the corner but we all know it won't be cheap!

Nobody is hitting 4000mhz with this gen of ryzen. 3600 is a stretch for most people.

I'd be concerned about what you've been doing with your socket.
Sounds like you've pritsticked the CPU in place.
Although I'd suggest you go for a 1700 over your i5.
