I am really looking forward to having some AMD servers again. If only MS didn't change the datacenter license to a per core model :(

I thought this but luckily we were able to lock ours to CPU for the next 3 years of our EA. :)

Going back on topic i've just joined the Ryzen club. Looking forward to Thursday when it all appears! :)
 
Bought Scones CH6 from MM, have some 3400mhz Ram ready and waiting, will pickup a decent 240mm AIO and decide which of the 1700, 1700x or 1800x i am going to purchase, anyone got a link to the Beta bios for the CH6 which has the AGESA 1.0.0.6 updates? :)

My kids are going to get my old 4700k rig, bought them a nice Phanteks Midi Case to house it all, soon as Vega lands they can have my 1070 as well, cant wait to get an all AMD rig on the go!.

If you are getting a decent cooler you might aswell get the 1700/1700x and overclock it.

tried that - her response, 'aye right, so there'll be nothing done round the house while you're building it, then once it's built you'll have to tinker with it cause of course it isn't working properly (that's what I always tell her and I think she's getting wise to it!!!' she possibly knows me too well :(

Moral dilemma.....build my daughter a little R5 1600 gaming PC or hand her my old bits(3570k) and build myself a Ryzen 1700 rig.........:p

What's going to give you the most pleasure? That look of pure joy on your daughters face when she first switches on that 1600, or you own 1700?

1700 build every time surely?

got to go with Jokester on this one, I imagine your little lady will be overjoyed at having a new pc that's all hers.
 
Decided to get rid of my 6700k next month and order a Ryzen 1700. Gaming performance might decrease slightly but i doubt ill notice without an fps meter. Im seeing jittery gameplay when i have some chrome tabs lingering plus the overclock isn't fully stable without high voltage.

Does anyone know what the best matx offering is in terms of overclocking?
 
Hi all. I'm planning to get a Ryzen 1700 (currently have i5 4690K @ 4.4Ghz). Reason for the upgrade primarily is to stream with x264, rather than trying to get the i5 to play nice or use NVENC.

My query is around just how much multitasking I may be able to get away with. I also have a Plex server running 24/7 on my PC (only people in my house use it, max 2x 1080p transcodes at once), as well as local Ark & Minecraft servers running for us at home.

Would the 1700 be able to manage that much going on at once? e.g. Playing something like BF1, Doom, F1 2016, streaming via OBS w/ overlays, somebody transcoding a movie on Plex, while someone else is playing Ark on our local server?

Yes, ideally I would have a dedicated server running that stuff, which i will do going forward; but just not for a little while. I'm passing the 4690K build down to either my fiancee or daughter.

Thoughts on a postcard would be appreciated :)

I surprised the i5 is even coping with all that.

At the moment, I can game, run Plex and have a few game servers running (though I do try and keep any Plex usage to a minimum when gaming if I can help it). Streaming is basically a no-go, even without other things going on, aside from some less-intensive games and increasing the CPU priority in OBS.

I'd guess the kind of load that I've given an example of would put even the 1700 under a good workout.

I suppose an ideal world would have me with an additional system acting as a main home server, or sticking with a single system with something like a Threadripper 16/32 CPU.

It depends on how CPU intensive the game is, and at what quality you're streaming; but I've often encoded a 4K video in Premiere Pro, while playing WoW, and recording footage using Dxtory.
This is on a 5820K 6 core 12 thread CPU.

There are times it can get a little hairy on some games as my CPU runs out of grunt; so I'd say the 1700 at 4Ghz should easily beat my 4Ghz 5820K in a similar situation.

I'm not sure if OBS allows you to specify which CPU threads to use, I haven't used the new OBS Studio, but thanks to DXTory I can manage it all rather well.

What I'd recommend in your situation is try and run it all now, and see how much your transcoding will use of the CPU. Although even then the 1700 should be a significant improvement for multi tasking like that.
 
Just saw a 1700 for £274 and accidentally ordered it :o

Don't have RAM or a mobo but at that price, hard to resist.

Edit - weird switching back to AMD. My last two Intel chips (6300 and 3570K) have been fantastic chips and lasted almost a decade for their two respective builds.

Twice the number of cores and 4 times the threads next - oh my :D:eek:
