*** Official Ryzen Owners Thread ***

Ok add me to the club with an r7 1700

Now just hours of boring downloading
 
I've taken a reasonably budget approach this time, and am replacing my old 8350 setup with a Ryzen 1600, MSI Tomahawk and 16Gb of Team Group RAM. This should go fairly well with a GTX1060 for photo editing and modest gaming.

Looking forward to getting building tonight, haven't changed my system for about four years !

Yea the way I saw it was, sure a b350 board may well do zen+ fine but you know you'd have that niggle, that gnawing feeling that you just aren't getting the most out of the next gen chip due to board limitations (even if that's not the case!!) but spend too much eg CH6 and you're possibly in the realms or either buyer remorse (shouldn't have spent so much on my mobo boo hoo) or you think well I've spent 'X' amount on my board and chip its damn well gonna last me!! (Yes I have a complicated mind lol!!!)

You are just like me overthinking everything. I would love to have the Asus Strix boards, apparently the are very good but not in stock.

Yea, overthinking everything is the bane of my life!!
The strix boards nearly caused me to delay my purchases even further. Was finally set on the gaming 5, then saw the strix and thought they looked great. But it was the gigabyte support that won over for me in the end.

Was the R5 1600 compatible with board out of the box?
 
Looks good Supra!

I have a question; are the temperatures that AMD Ryzen Master give accurate? I have a R7 1700 with the stock cooler and I'd like to try overclock it just a touch but it already hovers around 45 degrees just doing mundane tasks.

Nothing about Ryzen is accurate :D, certainly not anything made by AMD. Some of the new board BIOS are sorting that out but if you dont have an x chip it should be ok I thought... But I didnt believe most of them anyway until proper version of AIDA64. That said, expect them to get hot 30-35 idle and who knows under load depending on your cooling situation.

On Asus Crosshair VI Hero setting Sense MI Skew: Disabled in UEFI options gains me what I deem as correct temps.
 
For anyone having frametime spiking issues on ryzen this is what I have found fixed it for me.
I'll use BF1 as an example as that was the most prominent. When a new object like a tank would appear or I would zoom in with the right mouse button the game would hitch.
I tried : Removing all overclocks
Updating BIOS
Downgrading BIOS
Updating MSI afterburner
Moving game from HDD to SSD

It all seemed like an asset streaming issue. Things like taking a screenshot would cause significant spike and pause.
Me and a few guys on the OCuK (unofficial) discord channel were experiencing this and we spent a good few hours trying different things.
The one thing we had in common was the samsung 850 evo SSD.
I downloaded samsung magician and enabled rapid mode (ignore the VID 1022) warning and reboot.
Myself and @prjwebb noticed certain improvements in the SSD benchmarks also.

The difference was night and day, the only time I get a frametime spikes now is when re spawning which is completely normal.
I don't have any before screenshots, there were so many of them I deleted them all in one hit after getting quite frustrated with this.
But now the ryzen smoothness is back.

I hope this helps anyone that comes across this issue and saves them a few headaches.

*No idea why those BF1 images are so small but essentially they show 6ms and 9ms frametimes with no spiking.

Hi gavin, I'd not noticed issues but have one as my windows drive. Will install later and report back.

It seems it may only affect certain boards, and or certain sata ports too. It's worked for some and not for others. Although the ones it had no affect on never had the issue anyway.
 
My board soft bricked itself this morning. Which I only discovered after assuming the PSU was dead and swapping it out. Ugh. Losing patience!
