Anyone else here got one of these 12nm Ryzen 1600 CPU's? Spoiler Alert!! It's awesome AF.. ;)

[keenan]

Just got mine today and for £85 it is definitely a keeper

 

[keenan]

Mental how cheep this thing is, and of course how well it performs...

I know, I should have done some comparison benchmarks between this one and the 1600x it replaced.

 

[keenan]

Way off topic, been a while since i've seen someone run windows 8

Pay no attention to that, I'm on Windows 10

I guess it's just a Cinebench thing.

 

[keenan]

Yeah I bet you can not beat an Intel 9900KS at 5000Mhz in gaming.

That has to be sarcasm, right?

 

[keenan]

Your meter is correct

That's about 1/100 I get right, but I'll take it..

Regarding the memory, it's Crucial Ballistix (Micron Rev. E) and it clocked the same on my first gen Ryzen 1600x. It'll do 3800 Cl16 as well, but I like Cl14 better.

Best budget ram you can get!

 

[keenan]

I only asked about the memory because some people can even get 2933Mhz to boot.

I've seen that as well. I guess it's a lucky mix between motherboard, IMC and memory..

 

[keenan]

Latency? And what motherboard?

AIDA64 says 64.5ns..

Motherboard is a B450 Tomahawk.

 

[keenan]

Do an r20 run please, for comparative purposes

Just out and about doing family things at the moment, but I'll do it when I get back home.

 

[keenan]

Do an r20 run please, for comparative purposes

Here you go..

Cinebench R20



AIDA64



Superposition

 

[keenan]

£85.... its like a sick joke for that level of performance.

Even worse when you know the same CPU is selling for $85 in the US..

 

[keenan]

A whole £7 less after you add the VAT.

Or as I call it, a whole 24 piece box of Yorkies on Amazon

 

[keenan]

I have no idea cause I'm doing keto. I'll have to let you know on my next cheat day!

 

[keenan]

Could you link to the product page for these, I can't find it.

I could but it's against forum rules

 

[keenan]

Ah, so OcUK don't stock them. I've found it, although it's listed as £98. I'm building a budget system for my daughter, and I have a Z170 motherboard so was looking to pick up a 6600k or 6700k but maybe it'd be better with this 6 core.

Hmmm.

If it's £98, then you're looking at the wrong one

First hit on Google?

It's not

 

[keenan]

got mine installed and running some overclocks. How much volts you have put through the ram? I have crucial ballistix. It can run at tight timing with stock bolts but going beyond the rates 3200MHz seems difficult. I was putting 1.36v. Just want to know what headroom I have in the ram as I will be looking for a secondhand or heavily discounted 3900x or similar cpu further down the line.

also what bolts you had on your CPU?

The memory is running at 3600Mhz Cl14 with 1.425v (E-Die is safe up to 1.5v)

The CPU is 4.2Ghz stable at 1.3v.
