*** Official Ryzen Owners Thread ***

Finally got round to fitting the monoblock that arrived last week... Seems pretty decent so far, slightly strange to me the block has a circular contact not covering the whole CPU at the corners though? Or that's normal for the monoblocks (never used one before..)?

Cool rig!

The die under the IHS is the important bit for contact, all CPUs are different assume the block was designed for Ryzen?

Designed for the CH6 x370 so yeah, just found it a little strange but you assume they've tested these things :). Difficult to know what your temps are with Ryzen half the time anyway!

Lovely clean looking build
 
My 4ghz doesn't appear to be realbench stable despite being good in memtest and prime and a full day of gaming yesterday!

Various issues from black screen to lux crashing to fully restarting. Difficult to know whether it's the CPU or the memory so scaling the CPU clock back to see how I get on!

You can bet it will be CPU. Gaming wouldn't load all the cores like realbench does.

Yep breezed through at 3.6/1.25v.

Think I have LLC issues now as going to 1.45v droops the down to the same 1.40 as 1.425 does. Might try the moderate setting out but tbh if 3.9 is doable on sensible volts I'll go for that. At 3.6 my rad fans didn't spin up from 400rpm so complete silence :)

LLC on ryzen is unlike anything I've ever seen lol. It doesn't seem to be able to hold steady at higher voltages. There is a discussion over at oc.net about using LLC.
Raja from asus advises against using anything above level 2/3 due to the over shoot that it causes when it comes off high load, it can spike to CPU to 1.5v for a short amount of time.
So short that software and multimeters cannot detect it.
His advice is to not use LLC at all and use a higher voltage to compensate for droop.

I'm running 1.35v @ 3.8 with no LLC on this 1700.
 
Yeah I'm giving up on 4ghz as I suspect I could do it at 1.45v load but that'd need 1.48 or so to compensate for the droop. Not sure that last 100mhz is worth it.

Shooting for 3.9 for a bit. Will see if that's achievable at below 1.4v!
