*** Official Ryzen Owners Thread ***

Once you have your overclocks stable, then ryzen is fine.
I cannot stress this enough, ryzen is quite unforgiving with unstable hardware.
I'd bet 90% of the complaints about ryzen is because people aren't testing correctly, they do a couple of runs of cinebench call it stable then complain when it crashes in gaming.
The CH6 or the asrock Taichi would be my choices if the giga isn't available.
I picked up an 1800X shortly after release for my workstation, which is on 24x7 for various uses (office work + gaming) and I have had utter stability with my MSI board for the last 4-5 months, 24x7. I did have issues with poor Gigabyte BIOS but I ditched that board very quickly (Gaming K7).
asus is good an all but only really if your going for extreme OC's
i bat for both teams
. i've not received my AMD build yet however if your going to remain at stock with 2400mhz ram you shouldn't have any issue at all.of course as you know overclocking will introduce stability issues. of course you can Overclock ryzen, mild overclocks should be perfectly fine. right now its high Memory frequency's causing in stability (3000+)

Aha! It's a Ryzen build (i had convinced myself you were getting a i7-7820X)...
...just got to work out the rest.
Maybe i Got two?/Off Topic

i would say very good build! if you do more multitasking other than gaming consider a 1700 + OCDone some minor tweaking but with your suggestions in mind, how does this look?

so you know that AIO can not be put in the top of 400C (will hit your VRMs normally), which will mean your 1080Ti will cook from CPU heat, consider the 600C if you want AIO at the top ORcheck out the phantek evolve if you want a window.

Depends on how long you expect to keep the chip really. You might have plans to put in a Zen+ chip when it comes out in which case you won't get much value from the 1700 if you just care about gaming.
1600X is far more likely to sit easily at 4ghz on all cores when overclocked than the 1700 as well.

Not sure I do need to check. If it's Hynix it's impressive it even boots at that lol.
The Reddit thread lists it as B die

If you don't overclock, Ryzen is completely stable. If you want to overclock you have to just make sure you buy right type of memory and a good motherboard.
Not sure if it's any help to you but I have a 1700 at stock and leave my computer on all the time, it has been very stable. I upgraded from a 2500k and have been very happy with my purchase.
+1 for 1800x, seems to have been worth the money for easy clocks and stability...
My 1700 passed 3 hours of OCCT AVX at 4ghz 1.42v load (after droop) and 3.9ghz at 1.375v.
The problem is the gigabyte board wants 1.5v in the BIOS to get to 1.46v idle which in turn gives 1.42v after droop.
I am sticking with 3.9. My boot loops are completely solved at 3200 14-14-14-32 2T but 3333 at the same timings is 2000% HCI stable but still bootloops (F9) occasionally.
The difference between 3.8 and 4.0 in real world applications is as good as nil. I can't see how the 1800X is worth the premium myself.

Lower voltage required, virtually no messing about to get a stable overclock that is higher than yours. I appreciate its 'the same' chip but honestly given mine is stable a 4.0 with 1.395v and memory at 3466 I have to disagree really.
I think you're paying for less of a painful procedure to overclock, seems like the 1700s will get close which is good value but takes a LOT of doing to get there. That's worth something to me...
my 1600 looks like it won;t be happy at 4.
3.9 to be stable long enough in prime is wanting 1.35V + the turbo calibration setting on my mobo. so it has drawn up to 1.38. seems to get to about 70-74 under constant prime load. does that seem ok?
