Currently have my 64Gb at 3200 with 1.45V using "stilts safe timings" tweaked a little to better suit my ram. I'm surprised Aida64 ram stability test is still running after 10 minutes!

If it goes well, I'm curious to know what memory you're running. I'll want 2x16 with an eye to doubling it later, and you're one of very few people running above 8gb/dimm :)
 
I got as far as 5 hours of tpu memtest when I stopped.

While it hadn't failed on that or a quick hour of aida64, I'm having some issue on this bios where stressing in Windows is causing explorer to lock up.

Even on lower ram speeds.

Can click around anything open, but anything that requires Explorer, such as opening something or going through start to reset just doesn't work.

Probably flash back to 1403 tomorrow.

Edit:it's hyperx 64gb 3000mhz kit Eddie
 
tRC and tRFC have a bigger impact on stability than I realised. Noticed 8pack running tRC at 107 (!) in his stability testing on ryzen so gave it a go.

Been trying to get 1T to work and ended up with

3333 14-14-14-32-54-333 at 2T (baseline, 4000% clear)

3333 14-14-14-38-60-356 at 1T (800%)

Amazingly that was also booting consistently at 3466 1T having previously never been able to get past 3333 even at 2T without F9 lockups.

I don't count 800% as stable so more to do but both min and max on tomb raider 720p bench prefer the 1T setup by a reasonable margin (averages no different) even with the tRC and tRFC being looser. The jump at 3466 was there but very minor indeed and suspect that's not going to be stable anyway.
 
well i've ended up at
3.9Ghz at v1.295 with 3000MHz Ram running CAS14

Max temperature of 66C on air
Max Game Temp 57C

seems ok. i think
 
So after a lot of WTF'ing, reading various posts about similar problems and almost giving up i persevered and got myself a 3.9GHz overclock on my 1700. I was suffering from the 1550MHz bug for a lot of the day and just couldn't stop it until i read something that said you needed to offset the voltage and not set it directly. It then worked perfectly!... :| :| :|

So we are:

1700 @ 3.9Ghz (1.308v in windows) i also had to raise my SOC to 1.1v
Gskill Trident Z 16GB @3200Mhz (1.373v in windows) Although the timings are off. I've left them on auto but they are coming up as 16,16,16,39,1T rather than what the box says: 14,14,14,34, 1T. So there could be room for slight improvement if the Mobo lets me?

I'm not going to lie it doesn't really feel massively quicker than before but all I've done is 3Dmark it and play a few rounds of PUBG.

3Dmark went from:
3DMark Score 7208 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080(1x) and AMD Ryzen 7 1700
Graphics Score
7314
CPU Score
6666

to

3DMark Score 7469 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080(1x) and AMD Ryzen 7 1700
Graphics Score
7358
CPU Score
8172

PUBG felt about the same but then again its still a barely optimised mess.
 
Have they fixed the g.skill RGB issues yet? Looking at a thread ripper build and love the look of the ram, however if its going to start killing the ram I'll not bother.

On ASUS boards, if you use the latest version of CPUZ and Aura, then all should be fine now.

As much as i don't want people to fuel the RGB LED fad :P
 
I've jumped on the Ryzen train (1600).

I haven't done any overclocking since the old athlon xp days so am not really sure wha I'm doing.

I currently have my RAM running at 2666mhz (it's actually rated at 2400mhz).

I immediately tried 4ghz @ 1.375 and it failed more or less straight away. Dropped it to 3.9 and it passed 2 hours in real bench stress test and hit 70 degrees max.

Where would you suggest going from here? What's the max voltage I should run day to day.
 
I'd drop it to 1.35v and see if stable at 3.9ghz and be happy with that. 3.9 is pretty good for a 1600.

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.

Hey I have exacly same SSD, and im having terrible stuttering with my r7 1700 and gtx 1080 :(
I've tried what've you said enabling RAPID Mode, and looks like it helped with the micro freezes I had in games, but still In shadowplay I have slowdowns and stuttering :/. Also still (even withouth recording or whatever) whenever I take a screenshot I have high asf frametime, 27ms. I guess you dont have any problems like that? I don't really know how to fix this :(

I did get to the bottom of this. It's windows creators update not playing nice with nvidia. There is a huge thread about it over at Nvidia. The only solution for now is to install windows anniversary update (1607) and block update using shutup10. No ideal but it looks like ms are not in any kind of rush to sort this so you maybe waiting a while for a proper fix. From my own findings, in overwatch bringing up the scoreboard would result in a frametime spike, now on the anniversary edition it's smooth as butter.
 
Yep I'm getting fps problems in world of warships with my R 1600 @3.8ghz,tryed everything I could think of so I'm going back to Windows anniversary.
 
Anyone able to link any decent graphs of game fps averages and minimums of the 1800x vs the 1600x on the same gpu? Over clocked at 4.0 on all cores is fine.
