As I save and exited the bios it did a boot loop of 4 or 5 times and finally booted on the 6th..

Go back to the BIOS set XMP and then set the memory multiplier to 2933

Beady?..

Do we have a Ryzen 1700 with 2933 stable?

BeadyRoller · 13 Jun 2017 at 19:35

All good? It's booted fine.

Plec · 13 Jun 2017 at 19:39

Great!

Check your CPU temps under load.

If all OK - go PUBG!!!

What shall I use for stress testing CPU?

Did we install COre temp?

BeadyRoller · 13 Jun 2017 at 19:49

We didn't...

Plec · 13 Jun 2017 at 19:52

Core Temp

BeadyRoller · 13 Jun 2017 at 20:03

Done, what do I do now?

Plec · 13 Jun 2017 at 20:04

Install and run in the background while you play games.

Tab out during the game and glance at your temps. Get back to me after you've given it a good run - or blown

Normally, i would suggest a short burst of Prime95 but it's almost impossible to connect a stock cooler with pre-applied paste badly.

If you have managed to - kudos

They are just while browsing. Wont get a chance to do it tonight playing games, watching the England game

It's only giving the one temp (it said it was Ryzen compatible) Idle temps looks good. But it is showing all the core loads.

I presume it's taking the average - like the BIOS.

Go play...

BeadyRoller · 13 Jun 2017 at 20:18

Everything look ok there though?

Will test it in the morning.

Plec · 13 Jun 2017 at 20:20

Yes, the CPU was idle and at 30 Degrees. On boot up it reached 43.

You're not going to be playing PUBG :eek:

You'll be PUBGing after the match (Reading that back - that sounds like some gross sex act).

You could use Cinebench - that would be a quick simple stress app to test temps on the CPU.

BeadyRoller · 14 Jun 2017 at 11:35

Will try that. Gave it a go last night. Pretty much the same as the 1600 on PubG and DayZ but somehow felt a bit smoother. Them games haven't been properly optimised yet though so not fair to judge. Someone told me on reddit that they have a X99 i7 and only get about 30-40 in major cities so yeah.

I'm worried about shipping this CPU, want to make sure it's as secure as it can be. How would you do it?

The 1600 or your ivybridge?

The i5. Don't have any of the original packaging..
