First PC Build - Warning, thread will have blunders.

Prime 95 is that what I should use?

orbitalwalsh · 28 Apr 2018 at 15:26

That and Asus real bench

Another one is Cinebench R15 to test is stable . Very quick test

NathanL · 28 Apr 2018 at 15:27

I'll give that bottom one a go and let you know the temps. Cheers

NathanL · 28 Apr 2018 at 15:35

Ran it twice, reached a high of 57 degrees C. Score of 1482 on the test. Are you happy with those results?

orbitalwalsh · 28 Apr 2018 at 15:57

Temps seem good.
What was max core speed?
Believe Cinebench R15 and r13 you can run single thread test as well

NathanL · 28 Apr 2018 at 16:02

How can I tell the max score speed?

Under 'clocks' all of the maxes for each core at 4100mhz give or take 5mhz
All currently running between 2500-3500

orbitalwalsh · 28 Apr 2018 at 16:09

If you run Asus real bench, stress test 15 mins should give you idea of 'all core max speed " . Single core looks as to be advertised

NathanL · 28 Apr 2018 at 16:14

What settings should I set Real Bench on for the Stress Test? 15 minutes - Up to 16gb ram?

orbitalwalsh · 28 Apr 2018 at 16:14

15 mins 8gb

Should pass fine, just nice to see how the 2600 boosts on all cores

NathanL · 28 Apr 2018 at 16:41

15 min run completed. Reached a high of 66C, but stayed at 65 most of the time. Think that's quite good in my opinion! What do you think?

All good

what was all the cores speed when running it ?

NathanL · 28 Apr 2018 at 16:50

I didn't notice them changing that much to be honest. Looked like it was average of 3200mhz again

With some overclocking , should be able to get 4ghz across all cores

Few others in the ryzen thread of gotten the auto clocking feature to perform better but lowering the vcore wattage slightly

NathanL · 28 Apr 2018 at 18:38

Hmm, i'll see if that's something I can look at at a later date

Cheers!

orbitalwalsh · 28 Apr 2018 at 18:39

If it helps, reviews have had it clocking at 4.1/4.2ghz all cores.. impressive . Just memory controller isn't as sharp as 2600x version

NathanL · 28 Apr 2018 at 18:42

Remember I have the 2700! not 2600

Crumbs, my bad, should hit 4ghz all cores easily enough

Cooler might sound a little louder . But as you say, see how you get on .

Did you get 3200hz or 3600hz mem kit ?.

NathanL · 28 Apr 2018 at 18:50

3200 8pack edition ones

Kits solid, fact it's booted up first time nicely and no crashes , again if you fancy dabbling in overclocking . Might be able to set kit at 3333hz without having to touch the ram timings

NathanL · 28 Apr 2018 at 19:35

Think it's due to my fantastic building skills

Yeah I've never looked at pushing ram over before. Will defo lool at it in a month or so
