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

[Gerard]

Same motherboard as you. Was it asking you to restart or was it not changing anything till you restarted? A couple of my observations.
Did you notice that the chipset drivers are much bigger from msi then they are directly from amd? Dunno why this is.
I wasn't convinced Amd master was evening doing anything. Only gave it a quick go as I though it might save time from rebooting constantly whilst trying out overclocks.

This is the message i currently get when trying to apply oc settings



Beforehand that would never show up, it would basically apply the settings on the fly in windows and you could get straight to testing them. Last night for a while it was applying settings without the need for reboot, now today its back to the above. Only reason i'm using this program is my motherboard suffers from a weird bug that many have reported where if you go over default voltage the cpu sticks at 1550 mhz or thereabouts. I re-flashed my bios a few times and it still seems to do this so i just use the ryzen program for the time being.

The driver size i thought was to possibly do with it maybe including radeon drivers as well? Not really sure why its so ridiculously large in size.

And since last night the mobo has been displaying another "oddity" where when the system reboots to apply the ryzen master settings it constantly goes into the bios instead of loading up windows, and it take a lot of fart assing about changing random settings to get it to boot up into windows again. I'm honestly considering returning this and going for something different as it just seems to have a lot of bugs that need worked out.

Stop using ryzen master its a piece of ****.
Use the bios like a real man.

I have never used Ryzen Master, on my CH6 I dont even have AISuite installed as heard its unstable and needs fixing.

Set up in the bios and the leave it.

 

[chroniclard]

I used ryzen master for a little bit, only time it asked to reboot was when voltages or memory changed.

Sigh, why do people not read. To reiterate:

I have the same bug, use voltage offset instead of auto or manual

Funny thing is that's exactly the reason i chose this board over the gigabyte version as the gigabyte only had offsets and no manual voltage. Msi seem pretty clueless as to why this is happening as its not affecting everyone with the same board and bios revision.

I and others have posted over this forum that the MSI ryzen boards are ****. They don't seem to care. The mods over there want to silence anyone with a complaint.
It is THE biggest reason I ditched the tomahawk for the crosshair.

I'm definitely considering sending it back, just seems flakey in a lot of ways.

Do it, get an asrock or a gigabyte. Both seem much better than MSI on ryzen.

Ordered the crosshair

Ordered the crosshair

I've got the crosshair, nice board. I could have got away with less but at the time they were way ahead of everyone else.

They seem to be on the ball for bios support as well, hopefully be able to get this lpx ram running at 3200.

 

[chroniclard]

Considering ditching my Prime to get a CH6 as cant get my ram over 2933(runs well just want more ). Gonna wait a bit see if theres a bios update first.

 

[Hagar]

Gskill Ripjaws V are stable at 1.4V, (1.386V reported) at 3200MHz 14-14-14-14-32 1T CH6 Bios 1403. This is currently at stock CPU still. Wanting to start adjusting that now but on stock cooling.

I set the ram up manually with as few settings as possible changed in the bios.

It appears AMD revenue in Computing and Graphics has gone up by 51% over the same quarter last year,which is probably down to Ryzen.

 

[Jonners]

Are Ryzen 3 going to be instock July 27? I would have thought pre-orders would be taken if they were...?

 

[Panos]

Nicely to see Zen scaling perfectly regardless how much glue is used. Double dose or quadruple dose.

It certainly is a super glue.

Yeah like the one used today to glue the Swiss Guard (PanO model for Infinity) and instead glued my two fingers. Which made me to run like a madman over the company carpark to use hot water to soften the bond....
